Hi! We just bought two EMC Clariion CX700 boxes as SAN storage. The boxes are primarily used for Oracle databases. Our system integrator is trying to persuade us to use "snaps" for database backups.=20 Is anybody out there running a similar configuration and can share their expieriences? This is 9.2 on HP-UX 11i. Thanks, Helmut -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
