Use direct-path INSERTs for loading, then use NOLOGGING to reduce redo
generation from that.  Then, use RMAN incremental backups to backup the
just-loaded data to make it recoverable.  Or not.

If you are unable to use direct-path INSERTs for loading, then something is
wrong with the design of the data warehouse.  Non-volatile time-variant data
in partitioned tables is ideally suited for loads using direct-path INSERTs.
In Oracle9iR2, direct-path INSERTs also enable the possibility of using
table compression.
