     Has anybody used the DEC OSF/1 ADVFS clonefs command to 
     create a read only quick backup of an Oracle 7 (7.1.3) 
     database. The Oracle database would be 'up' while the 
     clonefs is being done, with the Oracle tablespaces put into 
     BACKUP mode, to allow the backup to be made. 
     
     We would be very interested to find out whether this works, 
     and peoples experiences with this, or comments. This feature 
     could be critical to the backup method we use for our 
     databases, so any information would be invaluable. Version 
     of OSF is 2.0b.
