Backing up Oracle ZFS 7120 to Tape using NetBackUp
Hi Everyone, Earlier today my Oracle DBA asked if I am able to backup his Oracle ZFS 7120 appliance with Netbackup, today was the first time I've heard of ZFS. He wants to perform a weekly full of the whole ZFS drive, which is about 10 TB and back it up to tape and send it offsite for DR purposes, So I have the following questions: Thank you in advance for all your assistance. 1. is it possible to use netbackup 7.6 to perform a backup from the zfs appliance straight to tape? how does that work if the databases are constantly being written to? 2. after doing research, I found an Oracle ZFS plugin for NetBackup, would installing thi software cause MBU to crash? 3. If I am wrong about the Oracle ZFS plugin for netbackup, how would I go about getting netbackup to talk to the ZFS appliance, and then schedule the weekly full straight to tape? Thank you for your time.
