I now briefly read the "Oracle® Database Backup and Recovery Advanced User's Guide" at http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/server.101/b10734/rcmbackp.htm, as it contains the "keyword" split-mirror (or rather "split mirror").

Maybe I misunderstand something, but from reading the documentation, it seems to me, as if a "split mirror" is a backup stored on disk and at the same time stored on tape (or maybe more generally speaking, stored on two different "locations").

That's neither what I described nor what I'm looking for. But before we go on, maybe you, Sybrand, could be so nice to explain what you seem to understand under "split mirror".
