Oracle 10g database files can also be part of ASM configuration. They can reside in the flash recovery area.

Legend:
SM	The Data Protector Session Manager, which can be the
	Data Protector Backup Session Manager during a
	backup session and the Data Protector Restore Session
	Manager during a restore session.
RMAN	The Oracle Recovery Manager.

Data Protector MML The Data Protector Oracle integration Media Management Library, which is a set of routines that enables data transfer between the Oracle Server and Data Protector.
