Hello,
    I'm curious how people handle

the backups for
    large/very large databases;

200gb or greater.
     
    My questions are not targeted

towards any
    specific hardware platform, but

we are using
    Oracle 8.1.7. I'm assuming that

archiving is enabled.
 
    Are backups done

nightly, or because of
    time constraints are they done

weekly ?
    If weekly, do you feel

comfortable having to possibly
    apply <FONT face=Arial

size=2>a week of archives, in the case of a recovery ?
  
    Do you use disk or tape

?
  
    Do you use RMAN or other

backup tools ?
 
    What are

the customer's expections for recovery and
    how do they effect your

backup strategy ? 
 
    I appreciate your

input.
