My biggest problem with it is the fact that I cannot
backup my data by anything else but RMAN. With all due
respect, I don't trust Oracle that much. I want to see
files and the space allocation. Black box approach doesn't
work very well for me. As a pessimist, I know that a coffin
is also a black box.
