I'm a newbie to Oracle Databases, so hopefully this makes sense.

We currently have multiple Oracle Database Servers and we back up the databases to a local tape drive on each system. We just purchased a DLT tape library and we want to centralize the backups to the system attached to this library. We're in the process of looking for a good backup software that will work with this library (e.g., Legato and Cheyenne's products). Can anyone make any suggestions/recommendations.

One of my main concerns is that we currently use Oracle's "export" utility to perform the backups. If we get Legato or Cheyenne's product, would it invoke the "export" utility, or does it have it's own programs that will correctly backup the database.

Note, the databases are on "raw" disks and not a ufs file system. The OS is Solaris 2.6.
