I have a Legato 7.4.1 system
on AIX 5.3 which backups up a
number of Oracle databases.

Our strategy is to backup the Oracle 
databases to disk , then backup the 
Oracle backup os files to tape, then 
delete the oracle backups. 

In addition we backup the os filesystems 
to tape . If I backup the oracle 
file systems to Legato I will have a 
massive duplication of data. Since Oracle 
is not being terminated, these backups are
not valid for recovery, yet I need a structure
for the dba to recover into if we were to lose
a disk.

I am sure there is documentation in
respect to this issue, can this group 
suggest some starting points ? Comments ?

Thank You,
