I've used Veritas snapshots before and it worked great. The concept should
be the same. Database files are only in backup mode for a couple of minutes
while the snapshot is created.
It was also great for using one physical development database as multiple
'virtual' databases, one for each developer. That feature wasn't put to
nearly as much use as I would have liked but the concept proved to be good.
And if a developer mucks up his copy, just create a fresh snapshot.

I am not using it, but I understand that it works as long as you use the
alter database begin backup command prior to taking the snapshot (and the
alter database end backup command after taking it).

Anyone using snapshots to backup Oracle? Does it work? Anything I need to
