Currently, we are using RMAN incrementals on this system. We take an INCREMENTAL LEVEL 0 backup of all tablespaces once a month. Then, on a weekly basis, we do INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1. With our Legato library, the current retention is 3 months. Like I said when I started this thread, this all works just fine with a 1TB database. And I'm not worried if the database gets to 5 or 6TB. But I'm looking at the future when I get above 20 or 30TB.
