Dennis, one small clarification, you can do incremental rman backups in
noarchivelogmode but the difference being you can only restore to the
last rman backup(you 'd have ot restore to the last level 0 and then
apply incrementals) and never be able to get to point of failure. Since
a noarchivelogmode database has to be shutdown, you 'd be at a clean spot
for recovery(and rman is smart enough to not let you do a backup with a
shutdown abort as the last thing since the db has to be in mount state
anyways), last i checked, its been about 6 months since i played with
rman.

If you are thinking that incremental export would just export the

rows in a table. It doesn 't. It just detects tables that have changed

If you want just part of a table, you could do something better on
your
own. Since 8i export has a parameter QUERY. If you have a timestamp
column for when a table is inserted or updated, then you could do a
partial export of the table for just the new or changed rows. Again, I
have done exports with the QUERY parameter, but haven 't designed an
incremental backup system based on that.
