Do you have a link for that Don.
That is new to me and seems absurd because it is built in database functionality, not an extra or an add-on

Another vote in favor of BCT here. Great time saver for level 1 incrementals.
Note that using BCT on standby is new in 11g and requires a separate license. It was something I was really looking forward to until I found out about the catch.
Don.

BCT is great! Learn it, use it, love it! :)
Brandon is right, of course, it's a change to your backup strategy, so, test thoroughly. But, I haven't had any issues or run into any bugs related to BCT.

I've been using it for years on several databases with different versions and different operating systems and never encountered a problem, and yes, I have done several restores using the incremental backups created with BCT too. I have not used a BCT file on a standby database though so can't comment on that. As with any backup/recovery strategy - test it thoroughly in your specific environment before relying on it in production.
Regards,
Brandon
