I don't use snapshots, but have used EMC BCV's in the past and now use IBM's Flashcopy for backups. I backup 1TB db in ~20 mins using Flashcopy. Then I take it off to tape, i.e. filesystems monted on a TSM Backup server, hence no resources needed from the production server :). hth,

We are implementing Oracle RAC on two Windows nodes, connected to an EMC
SAN. We'll also have a failover sight.

We are using S.A.M.E. disk configuration, with only one logical volume,
and backups/archivelogs dumping to another volume.

The SAN is an EMC Clariion CX400.

I immediately vetoed snapshots, opting for RMAN, but I'm now taking a second look.

Does anyone use the snapshot technology as a solution for full backups?

Thanks,

Jeff
