Dianna,

Actually snapshot technology and RMAN are not mutually exclusive. A popular
configuration is to take a snapshot, then mount that snapshot on a recovery
server, then use RMAN to back up that database. That way you get the
advantage of both technologies. You get the quick speed of the snapshot
which puts minimal load on your production server, then you get the catalog
capabilities of RMAN in case you ever need to recover something different
from the last backup.
