I recently visited a shop where they use RMAN on a 35Tb DW.  22Tb are READ
ONLY tablespaces, so their weekly level-0 is about 13Tb.  Their daily
level-1 and level-2 average about 2-4Tb each, couple hundred Gb of
archivelogs per day.  They run big-iron Solaris and Veritas Netbackup to Sun
DLT tape drives (16 drives, I think).

They're happy with RMAN, although that weekly level-0 is exceeding the 24hr
backup window they've imposed.  I suggested that the level-0's be
distributed across each day of the 7-day week, to even out their spikes;
don't know if they implemented it or not.

Also suggested that they look into table compression, but that will be a
longer term thing.  At the moment, I think they opted to order 6-8 more tape
drives...

RMAN isn't a problem;  it's a big part of the solution...
