In my opinion, it comes down to:
If you have hot backup running very well on an existing system, stick with it. Otherwise use RMAN. Technically, hot backups can create more redo records, while RMAN has negligible affect on the production system, near as I can tell.

I'm sure this topic has come up before. I don't need to know the difference

between these backup methods. I am more curious about which is preferred.
>From what I can tell, I'd be a fool not to use RMAN whenever possible.

What experiences have you all had with these in production environments?

Best,
