We do this by declaring two separate nodes on the TRU64 systems.  The base
node (base) is for the OS and all database files are excluded.  We do backup
the redologs under base but use a different management class so that we do
not keep them as long.  On the weekend we do our cold backups of just the
data base files with Oracle down using the node name, base_cold.  In the
dsm.opt for base_cold we use domain statements so that we do not go over the
files systems that are not DB file systems.  This has worked very well for
us in the past.
