We perform disk-to-disk offline backups on a nighlty basis. Database is running in archived log mode. Due to space contraints (don't ask =:-[ ) we are currently forced to backup only some of the data files. The data files excluded belong to specific schema owners and are not being updated, or so I'm informed =:-0. I'm trying to get my head around what the recovery implications are if some of the data files not backed up have being updated and a recovery is required?. I expect it depends on what the recovery scenario is. So whats worst case scenario and what would my options, if any be?.

Oracle 7.3.3, 8.0.5, 8.1.7
NT4, W2K
