Re: ASM vs FS backups

I don't know if metalink note 413098.1 (Extremely Poor RMAN Backup
Performance to NFS After Upgrade to 10.2) still applies in 11gR2, but
it's something to consider.  Even if the backups were on a
non-clustered file system LUN that was mounted to one node, if you
lost that node, it should be pretty easy to swing that disk to the
surviving node.
