Ruth - If you have space for individual RMAN backups, but not enough room
for all RMAN backups, consider this. For simplicity, assume that you only
have two production databases on your system.
- Backup database A using RMAN.
- Copy the backup to tape.
- Delete the disk copy of the RMAN backup.
- Backup database B using RMAN
- Copy the backup to tape.
This means that if you have to recover database A, then you'll have to
delete backup B and read A's backup in from tape. That means the recovery
time will be longer. But maybe not that much longer than if you were using a
media manager and writing directly to tape.
Actually, we are considering a schedule like this down the road. Buy
a cheap NAS unit just to hold backups until they are copied to tape.
Incremental backups, staggered days, etc. may make this arrangement
more usable.

If I get it to work, which from everything I've heard so far won't happen, I
will be happy to let everyone know. As of today, I had to compress some
backup sets so I could backup the last production database. What a waste of
time!
