Helmut,

How far back do you need to be able to perform a recovery from?  Is your
sysadmin going to be able to perform a recovery from, say, two weeks ago?
Is there any tape backup planned?

If by "snaps", you mean the old EMV bcv split, then you should be aware that
when a recovery is required, you have to perform an incomplete recovery of
the database.  This means you lose all prior Rman backups (if you were using
Rman).

We really need more info from you regarding your full backup plan.  Not
quite enough information here.

Hope this helps.

Tom

Subject: EMC Clariion "Snaps" for Oracle Backups anyone?

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
