4.8 Setting Up NetBackup Policies for Oracle RMAN Backup

The following sections describe how to set up NetBackup (NBU) policies for NBU backup with

RMAN.

To perform NBU backup with RMAN, you must have Veritas NetBackup for Oracle installed on

the NBU master server, VERITAS NetBackup client for Oracle installed on the database host and

the backup host. Refer to Veritas NetBackup for Oracle for installation and configuration

instructions.

In addition, you must create an Oracle RMAN Recovery Catalog and configure Oracle TNS

Service and Listener to allow connections to the Recovery Catalog from database and backup

host. The Recovery Catalog can be created on any server. 3PAR Recovery Manager recommends

that the Recovery Catalog is created on the backup host. See

When perform NBU backup with RMAN, Recovery Manager supports full, differential, and

cumulative incremental database backup. Recovery Manager also support full archive log

backup (backup only archive logs).

Recovery Manager requires that you create a NBU policy for database backup. If you wish to

perform archive log backup, you must create a separate NBU policy for it.

NOTE: This section assumes that you are familiar with Oracle Database and

Veritas NetBackup (NBU). For more information on how to create NetBackup

policy, refer to Veritas NetBackup for Oracle documentation.
