There is no SQL*Unload utility. I think you must have misunderstood something. When I backup my databases, I do two things. First I copy the files to tape. Then I do an export. If I need to restore the database, I go to the tape. If someone accidentally blows away a table, and wants it restored, I go to the export file.
