You may want to consider just a good application to work with your backup system to have a complete backup. If your system is like ours, shutting down the database is more problematic than the time it takes to mirror or backup the server. One package that I understand is on the market is St. Bernard's Open File Manager. It apparently works with all backup systems from ArcServe to Colorado, and will allow them to backup Oracle or any other file system even if there are users logged in and making changes to the files. We are going to be getting an evaluation copy inhouse and see how it works? You can contact them at www.stbernard.com or on compuserve at GO STBERNARD.
