Oracle point-in-time recovery

We are currently running Oracle8i Enterprise Edition. I need to setup an additional server and I was thinking about going with Oracle8i Server because it is MUCH cheaper than the Enterprise Edition. However, I was a little spooked when I read that Oracle8i Server does not support point-in-time tablespace recovery. Does this mean that there is absolutely no way to do a point-in-time recovery on 8i Server? Doesn’t 8i Server have redo log files and archive redo log files just like EE? Does 8i Server support the RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL TIME command to allow you to do a time-based incomplete recovery? I will be storing important data on this server and proper backup/recovery is very important. Any information you could provide on this matter or other pros/cons on EE vs Server would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
