    by "normal?"

    There are 2 ways to take a backup with Oracle :

    1.  Using RMAN to make a flat file dump of your database, then use a standard backup policy through NetBackup to back up the dump location as a flat file.  

    2.  Create a policy type of "Oracle" in NetBackup which will take a hot backup of your database using the RMAN script you created.

    Between those two, I'm not sure which one you would consider "normal."

    If you set up an RMAN backup policy, you can easily call that from a script, we use this to check for archive logs and back them up from the OS via script.

    You're not using RMAN script for Oracle backups ?
