I'd think "getting it to work locally" make the utility in a fashion
that it can take a local library, OR a remote NDMP one, would be a
priority. Maybe more so for database customers of midsized size, that
doesn't have the luxury of 64 datacenters on multiple continents. ;)
Having the option of having "catastrophy restore" backups picked up
every morning (as a stack of 8 tapes?) and brought offsite for
safekeeping should probably be in the operating instructions for ... all
oracle-customers not having the luxury of a multisite setup. ;)
I'd suspect there are a whole lot more small customers than large ones. :p
