I don't have access to Metalink, but I'll see if our Oracle support can send me this document tomorrow. Thx.
It shows how to backup non-Oracle parts with RMAN? Interesting. I hope they can send me this metalink document.

Hm. Interesting thought. How would I make sure, that the directory-gone-file is always up to date? I guess this would mean, that the app should also update this directory-gone-file when it modifies the files in the directory? So I'd have to double the storage - once I need to store the files as files in the vault directory and once as a directory-gone-file?
