I've seen the old docs that say "Disable SELinux" but this isn't an acceptable option for some of our servers and I'm sure that we're not the only ones with this requirement. How does one successfully run the BEWS agent with SELinux enabled?

Supposing I have a few dozen regular backup jobs that run every night to our 4-drive tape library while the servers are relatively idle, and then I need to run a DBA-initiated Oracle backup job also late at night, how does queueing work? Will the DB...

Seriously, Symantec, that's shameful. If you treat your enterprise customers (not to mention your overseas support staff who have to deal with angry customers who've listened to Journey and Michael Jackson for an hour while being constantly told the...

I'm kind of in a catch-22 here then. I need all my backups (not just the Oracle ones) to run at night, when everything goes well they still run all night, and I've got Oracle backups that need specific RMAN parameters which BUE will not provide, Sym...

...I'd really rather initiate these via cron so the backups can run daily along with the other heap of backups that get run. Is there a way to get the DBA-initiated job to insert itself into the queue of jobs and run when the next tape slot opens up?...

We'll see how it goes...

I've seen that, and don't want a "DBA-Initiated Job" - I want to control the script that BUE uses when it kicks off a backup of a given Oracle instance. It uses RMAN, so that script has to be somewhere. I've tried creating my own RMAN template on th...

This time the hold queues were not short so I pressed 9 to have a call back. About ten minutes later, I did get a call back from Symantec (with phony CallerID info, but that's a whole other issue). Anyhow, the guy confirms my name and the details o...
