Agents for Oracle and Linux

[egoncharov]

We want to backup oracle database. This database works on Linux platform.

Must we buy license for Linux agent as we will do for Oracle agent?

Yes, you would require both the Linux agent & the Oracle agent.

Incorrect.
All application agents include an Agent for Windows.
However, Oracle includes an Agent for Windows AND an agent for Linux.

So if Oracle is running on Linux, all you need is the "Symantec BackupExec Agent for Oracle on Windows or Linux Servers" license.

If you have Oracle RAC, there is a separate agent for RAC deployments that is licensed per Active RAC node.

i can't access the oracle 10g database wich is on linux 4.5 it shows gray from the console of Backup Exec 12.5 on Windows Server, i already have installed the agent on the linux server, i do filesystem backup but i can't do database backup as you can see on the file attach, do i have to configure something else to be able to backup my oracle database?
