Teresita,
The first thing I would do is
to make sure and make full, cold backups by
shutting down the database and doing a tape backup of the disk
your database files are on. This will keep you out of trouble
immediately.
Then, since you said you were
using Oracle 9.2.0.2, set up your backups to go every night using
RMAN, straight to the tape device. Oracle RMAN handles this. It includes a
driver for Veritas. There is an excellent book on RMAN. It's called Oracle9i RMAN Backup & Recovery
by Robert G. Freeman and Matthew Hart. It's an Oracle Press
book that you can get on amazon.com or Borders, Barnes & Noble, etc. That
will guide you through the process. Here is the link:

You can do this. Just start
with protecting your data immediately with cold backups, then move on to using
RMAN for full backups. Then move on to incremental backups.
I hope that
helps.
