Well, I know it's not what you are actually after, but why people backup directly to tape from RMAN I've never figured out. It's *good* to have backups on disk. Quicker to restore from, for one thing.

Any old tape backup utility can backup an RMAN disk-based backupset to tape. Only the *expensive* (and sometimes flakey) stuff does it directly to tape via the MML.

Besides, I never did get on with ArcServe.
