Walter,
Ruth's suggestion is still a good one. You can use Rman to backup to disk,
and then simply copy the Rman files to tape. You get all of the
recoverability using RMan, without having to purchase the 3rd party tape
interface product (like Legato, Edm etc.).
Your costs are :
probably an additional disk drive to hold Rman backups
Your time to develop and test Rman scripts.
Developing Rman scripts will be very easy - there are only a
couple of hundred people on this list using Rman, and we all share!
Hope this helps

I neglected to mention that we're trying to backup to
tape. I'm not sure what is involved with configuring a
media manager for Oracle that will allow Rman to work
with a tape drive but it would seem to me at that
point I'm into a 3rd party solution anyway. Yes? No?
What does it take to get a tape drive to work with
RMAN? If a 3rd party solution is better, then I'm back
to inquiring about an inexpensive, but useful,
solution.
Thanks.
