Storage snapshots are awesome and fast and useful in so many ways, but not all ways. Here's a bit more marketing describing the other side of that coin:

So, consider a mix of both of those strategies. It's been discussed in Oracle-L before, but a better approach is to not think of "backup requirements", but rather "recovery requirements". When that is properly defined, then the technology choices become much clearer.
