Backup and Restore on AIX 5.3 using tar command

 Hi,
We're using EBS R12 on AIX 5.3.
we separated apps tier and db tier into different partition.

We are now using tar command to backup our apps and db tier.
On database, we backup all files on /p01 (about 159 Gb). when I count the size of all files *.DBF on /p01/oracle/PROD/db/apps_st/data, it's only (58 Gb).

The question is:
instead of we backup all files on /p01, Can I backup only the *.dbf files on the /p01/oracle/PROD/db/apps_st/data folder and restore only these files when needed?
If it can, need more actions/adjustments on somewhere else to use the backup data or just restore it and use.

Howdy, Stranger!
