    I will agree that both TEMP and INDEX = are "easy" to rebuild.
    You sure that they don't require you = to backup RBS? It is not easy to
    rebuild it at all! :D

    NetApp is suggesting that the DBA = doesn't have to backup the RBS, TEMP and
    INDEX tablespace. The = "logic" behind that assumption is that one could
    easily re-create those tablespaces = rather than backing them up everytime.
    The Snapshot utility is generally = pushed/prostituted in business
    environments (like in VLDB) in which = backups must be fast and take up less
    space.
