Oracle Backup - Database must not contain any data files that are in backup mode.
Dear online team, Since upgrading from NetBackup 9.1 to NetBackup 10.4 we I have errors with Oracle backups if two jobs are run simultaneously. Let's say large database that needs 10 hours for the FULL backup to complete. During the time this backup is running, another Archive Log backup starts. (we have archive log backups running every half hour) This Archive Log backup fails with following error that was not the case previously: (5457) Database must not contain any data files that are in backup mode. This was not the case before and you could run as many jobs as you want at the same time.. This only happens to container databases that has pluggable databases inside the container. CDBs Has anyone experienced anything similar? Any help would be really appreciated. I even updated to NetBackup 10.5 but issue still remains..

Dear community, I need some help. I have setup one datastore backup policy that runs Application backup of PostgreSQL database. Now I am looking in how to manage WAL backups. I need the logs backed up at least once an hour so that I can restore any hour of the day. Meaning hour back if needed. (Oracle database backups have intelligent policies to manage backup of logs, but this is not the case for PostgreSQL) I have thought of creating another Standard policy that will run every hour to backup specific directory where all WAL files will be located. I could use crontab to schedule hourly job that runs bparchive command and set it to automatically delete files that have been backed up. However, this becomes very difficult to manage on NetBackup and client side, if you plan to have around 500 databases in the future. Protection plan is a no-go, as it is not very useful and does not allow for customization of SLPs. (meaning you will end up using a lot of disk backup storage) Has anyone found good solution for backing up PostgreSQL databases? Thank you for your assistance in this. Nerm
Netbackup self service compatiblity with Master server hosted over Flex appliance
Hello, I am trying to add NetBackup master server hosted over Flex appliance in Netbackup self service but after adding the Master server check connectivity option not working. As per Netbackup self service configuration guide prereqesties are : The user account that NetBackup Self Service uses to logon to SSH on the master server needs sudo configuration: ■ The user account should not use requiretty. ■ The user account should not require a sudo password. ■ With sudo, the user account should run all commands in /usr/openv/netbackup/bin and /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd. So i created new user on Netbackup master server and give superuser rights to user. so that user can execute all netbackup commands without sudo.But still check connectivity option not working. Is there any sperate procedure to add Netbackup master server (hosted on Flex appliance) in Netbackup self service ? In Netbackup self service documentation and Flex appliance documentation no procedure found.

Oracle Tape Backup failed with unimplemented feature
Hello everyone. I've recently learned to config FT and decided to test my oracle backups with FT. Normal filesystem backup from client is fine and it shows the transport protocol is FC. But when I start an Oracle policy, all of child processes fail with error "unimplemented feature", nothing more. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Master server Netbackup version is 10.2 on Redhat 7.9. Client version is 10.0.1 on Solaris 11. Oracle version is 19c. Any help would be great
