Sorry to say so, but what you are stating is nonsense. If you are backing up to disk, why set up a standby database? Why do you expect Oracle is going to change their software, because you refuse to buy a tape library product? People are usually pennywise and pound-foolish. They buy a standard Unix implementation with only the standard ufs. Should Oracle compensate for that stupidity? Come on!
