Hi,

We currently do hot backups to disk and then dump to tape only the directories that contain all the pices of the hot backups. We also do a cold backup once a week to catch all of the O/S type stuff along with Oracle.

I am assuming that anything else that is Oracle related would be static enough to get off of the weekly backups should the need arise. I.E. Init files, scripts and the like.
