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, VERTIAS NetBackup client for Oracle installed on the primary 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 both primary 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 4.8.3 Creating an
RMAN Recovery Catalog on page 4.24 for instructions.
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.
