I am interested in hearing from large Oracle installations that have Oracle running on a Solaris box attached to an EMC Symmetrix storage system. In your experience, what are the pros and cons of running Veritas Volume Manager, Veritas File System, and Veritas Flashsnap, instead of using the native EMC application TimeFinder for creating and breaking off a third disk image of a database, in order to back it up offline, or to save it for emergency use.

TimeFinder is probably faster, but it costs quite a bit more as well. In terms of reliability and functionality, how does Veritas compare?
