backing up Oracle Database Appliance

[mk128935]

Hi, I have a customer who wants to backup an Oracle Database Appliance (ODA) configuration something like below:

> ODA x7-2 HA model
OS(Oracle Enterprise Linux6.9) x 2 hosts

> Backup Exec server: StoreEasy1660
OS(Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2016 Standard Edition)

They say they want to backup the Oracle database data to the Backup Exec's internal drive. They want to take an online backup of the database.

Do we support backing ODA with BE? Oracle Linux 6.9 isn't listed in the SCL but if they upgrade to a compatible version, do we support this? It seems ODA and NBU is okay. Also, are there plans to support Oracle Linux 6.6 to 6.9? Don't see any update since Feb. of last year.

Thanks

As per the SCL ODA is not yet supported with BE. I am checking with the concerned team for any roadmap on the same. Will update once i get more information on the same.

Thank you. I appreciate any further feedback on this. I would assume that as long as the OS and database running on this appliance is listed in the SCL, we should be able to support this though.
