Hi,

We use netbackup with the oracle agent. Using a RMAN repository and two shell script I get nightly backup of the database. One shell script handles level0 and the other level2 incremental to make things clean. Backing up to a single tape/disk when the database is small is do-able, but when your database exceeds 50gigs, that gets to be rather difficult. It really depends on the size of the database you are dealing with and how much extra disk or storage you have available to you outside the database to play with. Backing up to disk is the fastest, but requires you have the space and hardware to handle it. Just my 2 cents.
