Storage snapshots are awesome and fast and useful in so many ways, but not
all ways.  Here's a bit more marketing describing the other side of that
coin:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/availability/rman-fra-snapshot-322251.html

So, consider a mix of both of those strategies.  It's been discussed in
Oracle-L before, but a better approach is to not think of "backup
requirements", but rather "recovery requirements".  When that is properly
defined, then the technology choices become much clearer.
