NetBackup for SAP

[UFO]

I was looking through Enterprise Support web-site, but didn't found relevant documentation. Maybe you have the answer.

How does NetBackup work with SAP online backup  (RHEL 4/5 and Oracle both 10 and 11)? I have only Admin guide - this doesn't help much.

Found this document on supported DB configurations.

Has anyone got any other ideas, comments?

Hi,

You link the backint binary in the run directory in sap i.e /usr/sap/<sid>/SYS//exe/run to the netbackup backint binary. In other words change directory to the folder where you have the sap tools and run

ln -s /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/backint backint

After this you configure the init<sid>.sap and init<sid>.utl which will be located in the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs on unix platforms. You can copy the sample files from /usr/openv/netbackup/ext/db_ext/sap/scripts/sap_oracle and edit it to your environment.

You can configure the sap_online_backup sample script in the same folder to run the backup.

I hope this helps.
