Yes

We do most of our Oracle backups without RMAN.  We have scripts that
perform Cold, Hot and Exports to local disk areas.  After copying the db
(or creating the export)  the script invokes "dsmc incr /backup/area" on
the backup area.    You could also use RMAN to backup to local disk
(doesn't rquire a tdpo) and have dsmc grab the rman files.

Hi,
A very basic question. Can we use TSM for oracle database backup without
using RMAN?
