Backing up with third–party backup software
The Application Recovery Manager Oracle backup can be integrated with third–party
backup software to move the Oracle replicated datafiles from EVA or XP disk array
to tape. The copying of replica is performed on the backup system, so there is no
load on the application system during backup to tape.
To back up replica to tape you can create a script that can be run after the Application
Recovery Manager backup on the backup system. Specify the name of the script as
Post-exec option in the General page of the advanced Backup Specification
Options while creating backups specification. For the On client option, specify the
backup system. See “Creating backup specifications” on page 106 for more
information.
Similarly, also the archive logs and control file can be backed up to tape. Note that
the archive logs and control file are not replicated during Application Recovery
Manager backup, so they reside on the application system after the backup. To back
them up, the post-exec script should be run on the application system.
Since you cannot specify more than one system on which the post-exec script should
be run, you can use the other post-exec option in the Oracle Integration page of
the advanced Application Specific Options for backup of archive logs and control
file. The script specified here can be run only on the application system.
Starting backup sessions
Considerations
Before running an Oracle backup session, consider the following:
• It is not possible to start a backup or instant recovery sessions using the same
source volume on the application system at the same time. A backup or instant
recovery session must be started only after the preceding session that is using the
