Hi,
I m using BE V-Ray Edition, curently I m an admin of an highly virtualized enviroment. V-Ray has lots of good functions and sadly bugs(not few), I solved lots of them via this forum, thanks to people.. We have nearly every product, SAP, Oracle, MS SQL, Active Directory, Sharepoint, etc...
I need to decrease the size of backup window, for MS product it is easy, BE has very good sturcture for that. But for Oracle, I have some suspicions;
If I want to backup via vCenter (NOT directly on Oracle server);
-Currently my VSS selection is MS VSS --auto vss mode sometimes crash so I switched it to MS VSS..-- , can it really backup without crashing any transaction?
-When I try to create a backup job via vCenter for Oracle, I dont see any selection for Oracle, are there any solution?
or should I backup directly on Oracle server? That really generates unnecessary workload, first I have to get VM backup every day for disaster purposes and after that I should backup Oracle and folders to truncate logs etc... which is doubling my backup size, etc...
Thanks for your time,
Hasan

Hi
With Backup exec there is no Application GRT backup for oracle yet as like it is for Exchange ,SQL etc running on a Viriual machine ,So yes only to do backup of it is backup the whole VMDK using Vmware agent & to protect Oracle backup using Oracle agent
Hope that helps
Thanks

Well Oracle GRT could be great, for Oracle on VM forces me to take a second backup...Anyway thanks for the response...
Thanks,
