Hmm... That's interesting. 
Would like to know 
1) What Is the acceptable backup window for this 20TB (I assume it's Data
Warehouse)
2) How long do you take to full backup 20TB DB using Rman? 
3) Backup architecture involved to move all the 20TB.

We used to backup a 20TB database using RMAN.  We did weekly full backups
and daily incrementals with a mid-week cummulative incremental.  All this,
of course, is done via the RMAN commands, not NB.  NB for Oracle is just a
block mover & tracker.  It doesn't care what is in the block, RMAN takes
care of that.  
 
One hard thing was dealing with errors during the backup.  Since a lot can
happen in 20TB of data flow, we had a method to record the start-time of the
first backup attempt, then attempt a point-in-time backup restart using the
"NOT BACKED UP SINCE" rman keywords.  Four attempts were made to backup the
data before we gave up for the evening.
 
Later, we moved to a method where the Full backup would be reattempted each
night until it fully succeeded, utilizing the same NOT BACKED UP SINCE
method where the start time was from a file that recorded the previous
attempt.  During a bad week, we'd often still get enough backup pieces on
tape to make the database restorable.
 
Third mirror split off would've been nice but for large databases there's
two issues, incremental become very difficult so you end up doing a lot of
fulls, and 20TB of "Third-mirror" disk is expensive.

Hi all!
 
How do you guys and gals perform you large oracle backups?? We have an
incoming oracle db that are about 1.5TB - 2 TB..
We run NBU 5.1 MP2 on hpux 11.11.. Our oracle servers will also be hpux
11.11..
 
All ideas are welcome.
 
Thanks!!
