Hi pani 200g databases that create 50g of redo a day are good candidates for
incremental backups. Well actually on modern hardware i'm probably an order
of magnitude out.

The incremental backup topic raises an interesting question for me.  I am

the usefulness of incremental backups.  I always use a periodic(daily or
weekly) fullback and rely
on archived logs for any restores.  If you use incremental backups, do you
use them just for large
databases?  I am curious to see how prevalent is the incremental in
everyone's backup strategy.
