BCV copies can still be sent off to tape, can't they? Main difference that
I would see is that you would then be using the tape management software's
retention policies, instead of RMAN's.

I'd say that's not a very good backup plan. BCV splits are great for
offloading the I/O of full backups if your production system can't handle
it, and for making test/dev copies of the database, but they don't do you
much good if your disk array crashes or your DC is lost. Better to have
tapes offsite. We use both BCV copies and rman here - they serve different
purposes.

before I came here I was on large projects and they used hardware for the
backups. They were done with BCV copies and rman was not used.
how common is that? Is that a better solution than rman? I would think it
would get fairly expensive.
