Agreed, but it's a bit silly to backup 200 gbyte of historical database every day. When a incremental backup in RMAN might send 10 Mbyte per day. Extreme example yes, But I think RMAN is really worth the effort.

Why using the tdp? Put the database in archive mode. Put each tablespace in backup mode, backup the database files, disable backup mode. alter tablespace ... begin backup (in prebackup command) dsm incr ... alter tablespace ... end backup (in postbackup command) No rman troubles, no tdp to buy, ...
