I was wondering if anyone could offer any suggestions to this issue, or the
pro's and con's...

We are trying to shorten the time frame that it takes to complete our
Oracle hot backups, and the subsequent file copies to tape.  I have read
that it is ok to skip the TEMP tablespace, and then do an off-line drop of
the datafile(s) in the temporary tablespace, drop the tablespace, and then
recreate it.

Our temporary tablespaces are 900mb, and they take a chunk of the total
time it takes to complete the hot backups.  Are there any issues or
ramifications of not including that tablespace in the event of a recovery?
It seems to me that it would be much quicker to re-create that tablespace
if needed.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
