I'm just learning how to use the netbackup agent for Oracle with rman scripts, and I can successfully backup the database. The problem is that to do this, I have to explicitly include the oracle user name and password in the rman script. Does anyone know of a way to run the backup using an encrypted password in the script?  We are running netbackup 6.5.3.1 on linux, with oracle 11g.
