Why? I just get our engineers to swap the tapes over each night - they know no Oracle, BTW - and my backup scripts take care of the rest. You then have a tape copy you can take off-site. If you have a db that's way too big for one tape, invest in a tape library system that auto-loads tapes.

See my other reply on this thread for my opinion on this.
