Allan,
We are not a 24x7 shop, we have a small DB, and we don't have the big $$$ :) (we actually haven't done the install yet so I don't know the exact size of the DB but it will be small -- I just need to budget backup software)

Some day in the future (over 1 year) we will be a 24x7 shop, and have lots of money, but for now it would be nice to save some.

The backups would be for a Dev/Training Instance Oracle Financial. It would be nice to be able to revert to a snapshot of the previous nights backup so that I would be able to recover without having to reinstall everything again. This would be in the event of a hardware failure or a newbie DBA error :)

Thanks,
