RMAN Backup

Hi Team,

HARDWARE LINUX_RH_X86

This is related to RMAN backup.

    Yes you can.

    A sample script is already on the client at

    /usr/openv/netbackup/ext/db_ext/oracle/samples/rman

    And the file you need

    hot_database_backup.sh

     

    Cumulative and differential schedules set NB_ORA_CINC and  NB_ORA_INCR respectively to 1. NB_ORA_FULL is set to 1 by the full backup schedule.

    All can be in one policy pointing to the same script.

      Since Oracle RMAN polices have two schedule - Parent and Child, be careful if you need multiple retentions. I know I tried setting the child to make multiple copies once and it reacted badly.

      Good luck!

      Thanks Marianne, but the customer needs backup through script only not through OIP.
