RE: Automatic backup on Oracle 9i

Sony - one more point to add to Jared's comment. When you license Oracle support, you receive access to Metalink. If you are using an illegal copy of Oracle, goodbye and come back when you are legal. However, Oracle uses a variety of third-party distribution channels and sometimes your vendor "forgets" to provide you the appropriate information. If that is the case, insist on getting the CSI number. That is the critical piece of information you need in order to register on Metalink. Dennis Williams

MetaLink is Oracle's support site.

metalink.oracle.com

No, I don't think your explanation is complicated, I just don't use OEM.

I fired it up to take a look, but the backup portion requires the OEM repository to be setup, so I didn't learn anything.

Yes, I *do* make backups, but use RMAN directly with Veritas NetBackup.
