>From what I know EBU didn't ship till 7.3.4 and was not backwards

backup through NBU but I know it's not supported, and I couldn't tell you
what shape the backups are in.

The only supported what to do it, is through pre and post processing scripts
of shutting it down or if it's possible putting it in Hot Backup mode.

I'm don't proclaim to be a DBA, but I know we are using EBU to do hot
backups of this one Oracle 7.2.2 instance which won't die. Was 7.2.2 the
first to ship with EBU? The EBU database it uses is at 7.3.4 though.
I've gotten a test instance to mostly work now. NBU and EBU say that its
backup jobs are successful, but in the EBU log I'm getting EBU-4302
errors. Ugh, I wish the DBAs would just upgrade it...
