What is the problem with writing a little .bat or .cmd file to automate the backup? You're not stating you are going to rely on exports because you don't know how to do that, do you? Rebuilding from an export is going to take much more time, and you *always* will *loose* data.

I would either buy Arcserveit with the special Oracle agent, and you don't have to worry about your backups anymore, or hire a consultant to write the scripts. But then, of course, I am a consultant, :)
