We backup the Oracle database files (on the OS - Windows/Linux) presenting them through file system through NetBackup. We have Oracle native datapump backups also run.
The file system size with database files are huge. And we are not sure, if the flat file system restoration would work for the Database. If this will not work, then we will go with the datapump backups alone ignoring the file system level backup.
Can you please clarify on this?

Agree with Marianne, there is no point in backing up open database files. I would suggest excluding the database files from the file backups

presenting them through file system through NetBackup
Is this some sort of snapshot backup ?

Thanks Everyone. I will ask the backup team to exclude DBF files from file system backup.
Nicolai - This is not snapshot backup. Just a file system level backup.
