Neat. Your laptop has more HD capacity than my entire DB server. (BTW,
how the heck do you put *two* HDs in a laptop??)

Well, the "backup" part is just a file copy. The database generates
roughly 10 MB of log per week, so I doubt the running Oracle process
slows the copying down significantly.
The copy is from disk to same disk, and the "disk" is actually a RAID-5
array of Ulta320 SCSI drives. IIRC, it's 4 x 36 GB for a total of about
108 GB. (It's partitioned into two NTFS partitions. For no particular
reason. That's how the expensive Oracle consultant set it up...)
