Our DBA's are very good to us.  They are very orderly people, who
rigorously put the OS, the applications, and the data on separate
mount points.  This allows us not to screw around with with multiple
stanzas in our dsm.sys files, now with Oracle file/directories in
our include/exclude files.

Rather, we can define two schedules: BASIC and ORABACK.  BASIC is
defined on the objects "/ /export/packages", and ORABACK is defined
on the objects "/export/data1 /export/data2 ...".

FWIW,
Rich
