How do I determine the space for control file backups that are stored in the datafile location?
If you backed up control files to the datafile location before you perform an IntelliSnap backup operation, you must have twice the control file size amount of free space.
If you also perform an IntelliSnap backup operation on the archive log file volume, you must also have free space that equals the size of the archive log volume.
Are there additional considerations if I use an NFS mount point?
