I have question as i am using 4tb database how can i switch from rman backup to snap/san backup. Please advise

and Connor said...

You need to let Oracle know that you are taking a backup, so you can do

1) alter database begin backup;
2) take your snapshot
3) alter database end backup;

Some of the SAN vendors have plugins/tools to handle this for you, and/or register the snapshots as backups with RMAN.
