To add to your list: 13) Is an additional volume of redo generated, resulting solely from being in backup mode? 14) Is backup capable of any other purpose, such as checking for corruption in database blocks and/or archivelog files? 15) Additional hidden costs of integrating with tape subsystem (i.e. additional integration with media-management software)? 16) Is a consistent restore even possible when backup occurs while database is being actively updated? (this is not the same as "database status up/down")
