Oracle's lure has never been it's simplicity, but it's ability to configure
nearly every aspect of the product to your individual needs. This may sound
somewhat complicated for such a common function, but the ability to control
what and how the database is backed up can be found to be necessary. In
another thread, I read of someone complaining that the backup took 95% of
the system resources when it was being backed up. Orale can easily be
configured to only use a small percentage of the resources by limiting the
number of threads and the I/O throughput to the backup system.
