Its possible to put the db in hot backup mode, take a snapshot of the
filesystems, put the db in
non-hot backup mode, and mount/backup the snapshots of the filesystems using
Netbackup.
You still want to backup your archive logs normally, if you use them.
There is snapshot now with Solaris 8 and some patches (fssnap).
Alternatively you could get hardware snapshots with STK SVA.
