I've used Replication Manager but never Powersnap modules. At my current employer we have a large SAP installation on AIX and DMX. Presently we're backing up the databases using BR*Tools, Networker with the Oracle Modules, rman and scripts to manage the BCV establish/split and mounts on the proxy host. We had planned to use Replication Manager but one of our DBAs has suggested Powersnap module. I've read some of the documentation but so far I haven't been able to determine what the pros and cons of Powersnap would be.

Does anyone have any input in the form of pros and cons for Powersnap? Especially in contrast to Replication Manager?

Thanks!
