Yes, Yaroslav is true, exports can be handled from crontab. However, I do not think that only export is a good way to handle database backup. Maybe some offline backup is not a bad idea. Very simple script can do folowing:

1. shutdown immediate DB, listener
2. backup all datafiles, control files, redo logs etc. to tape
3. startup DB, listener

In all Unix based OS is really easy to write this script.
