Nathan,
Are you using RMAN to back up the
database.
There are many settings available to optimize RMAN-nbu
disk to disk backup.
Consider using a vault profile or running a script
that:
-displays all images created on a client in the last n
hours.
-that list is passed as an argument to bpduplicate and
executed.
This allows concurrent duplication of the finished
on-disk images, while the backup is still running.
Run that script at a frequency/duration shorter than
the average image duplication time in order to keep the drive
busy.
Two
options for the Monthly copy are a parallel duplication to inline copy or a
serial duplication running one after the other.
The second copy
could use a volume from a different pool.
That
pool could be ejected from a different vault profile with its own pic
list.
