3 Backup solution architecture
For the tests detailed in this paper, we created a reference design architecture that closely simulates a
production server, network, and storage environment. The Quest Benchmark Factory tool was used to
simulate TPC-C workload on a two-node Oracle 11g R2 RAC production database. Oracle database
full backup and recovery operations were performed using the Oracle RMAN utility. Figure 1 shows the
test system configuration.
