Dennis,
This is the method we've been using for many years. There has never been a
case where the open datafile has been required for any kind of restore.
However, I can count on one hand the number of times where we had to go to
tape for a database recovery. FWIW

Hi,
We currently do hot backups to disk and then dump to tape only the
directories that contain all the pices of the hot backups. We also do a
cold backup once a week to catch all of the O/S type stuff along with
Oracle.

Title: RE: DB Backup Question
Dennis, your sysadmin is right. He shoudln't have to back up your raw data files, only your backup sets from your hot backups. I've seen this in practice at my previous position and have validated it as well.
If you are unsure, have you tried practicing
And yet another perspective.
Dennis;
Things to keep in mind:
1. Tapes are cheaper than rebuilding all the data by hand.
2. Managers who make decisions to put tape cost more important can
be replaced.
