I don't use snapshots, but have used EMC BCV's in the past and now use
IBM's Flashcopy for backups. I backup 1TB db in ~20 mins using
Flashcopy. Then I take it off to tape, i.e. filesystems monted on a TSM
Backup server, hence no resources needed from the production server :).

Gene,
What happens when you need to perform
We are implementing Oracle RAC on two Windows nodes, connected to an EMC
SAN. We'll also have a failover sight.
We are using S.A.M.E. disk configuration, with only one logical volume,
and backups/archivelogs dumping to another volume.
The SAN is an EMC Clariion CX400.
I immediately vetoed
Clariion snapshots are useful for point-in-time copies and remote
replication. However, they are in no way a solution for full backups, as on
a snapshot, the new snapshot volume that is created lives on the same
physical disks as the original volume. Sooo, if you have a RAID set failure
on a
