We have the "luxury?" of being able to do shadow copies for many of our data warehouses. These are only in the 1-2 TB range, but with shadow copy, we start at perhaps 2AM with the syncing, and then around 4PM we stop the database, wait about 5 minutes, break the volumes and we're back up.    

Management is getting very hungry looking at all these disks that are for backup and thinking "If we used RMAN and went to tape it would be better...  

I'm not so sure. 1-2 TB in 5 minutes is pretty good.  

What are others doing?
