Oracle B2D is this Possible ?

[Trevor_B]

Hi All,

I am running BE 12 with Oracle 9i being backed up to Tape. Please can anyone point me in the right direction is it possible to do Hot backups to Disk ? Tape is working 100% fine but i cant implement a B2D for the entire backup as at the moment if i try to B2D i get a script error ( always falls over on Oracle as the script tries to backup to tape as per the rman script, is there anyway to change the rman script ? is it in BE or in the Oracle 9i Database the rman script

Many Thanks

Trev

Yes,it is possible to backup Oracle databases to a B2D.

The parameters in the RMAN script can be modified to backup to a B2D.

BE uses the RMAN to backup Oracle resources.

Please can you tell me how to modify the script? Is the script in the Oracle DB itself or part of BE 12? Any example of scripts i could possibly look at to modify im not an Oracle DBA more of a windows person .

thanks

Trevor,I would strongly recommend that you have an Oracle DBA make the modification

for a sample you might want to have a look at the following link.

To simplify ongoing use of RMAN for backup and recovery, the RMAN lets you set a number of persistent configuration settings for each target database. These settings control many aspects of RMAN's behavior when working with that database, such as backup retention policy, default destinations for backups to tape or disk, default backup device type (tape or disk), and so on.

The default values for these configuration settings let you use RMAN effectively without changing any of them. However, as you develop a more advanced backup and recovery strategy, you will have to change these settings to implement that strategy. Use the RMAN SHOW and CONFIGURE commands to view and change the RMAN configuration settings.
