	Dear DBAs,

	When we first create tablespace (user, index, temporary, etc) and
datafiles,
	should we consider a large amount of datafiles ? What I mean is now
I make one
	datafile for tablespace User is 500 MB. I consider this to be for 3
years ahead.
	Now if I take backup for this tablespace only (for example), it will
surely make
	tape backup full after couple of weeks (capacity of tape backup is 4
GB it means
	that if I take full backup every week, the tape will be fulled in 2
months).
	Sure how many tape backups will be used is not our prime
considerations, but
	cost will not be so high.
	But I want to ask is should I make a smaller data file, just say 50
MB and then
	after running few months, I can add extents or make new datafiles
for this
	tablespace. Or perhaps just make directly 500 MB ?

	Thank you for the answer.


	Regards,

	Slamet Fusianto
