A backup is your main life and job insurance. In the current era a 91Mb backup is just a trifle, and I wouldn't even bother to make any incremental backup: I would conduct a full backup daily. (This is in fact what we are doing on the 4 servers being backupped by RMAN). I would also not bother about the size of your incremental backup. If you would have a full backup of 4G and an incremental backup of 3G, you might worry, but then it is still your life insurance, so DON'T COMPROMISE!! Regards
