Hiya,
Just a quick question really. Does an Oracle RMAN script backup using Netbackup Client require connectivity to the master server from the client? Or will just the media server suffice? I'm suspecting it will require both, but just wondering if there's a way around it so only connectivity to the media server is fine. I know normal standard/windows backups work ok like that, but from testing it doesn't appear Oracle RMAN script backups are the same, which is a pain as more firewall rules will be required and network cabling installed. This is for a secure client, so simplifying things would be great if possible :)
Cheers,
Nick

Any Agent based backup on client required communication to master

Yes it does.
Please take a look at the Netbackup Oracle Intelligent Polices for Oracle. I is much more elegant than script based backups.

Cheers guys. Kind of what I was expecting would be the case. Just wishing there was a way around it.
Oracle Intelligent Policies was a consideration, however we will have a RAC cluster and thus not recommended according to documentation.
