One pool is required for the backup of database tablespace files. This pool must be usable on the NDMP drive.

!drives. When starting a database backup and during the backup of log- and Oracle files the relevant pool is also required by the NetWorker server or storage node.

One or two pools are required for the backup of archive redo log files,

depending on whether the redolog files are backed up only once or twice (mirror backup).These pools must also be available for normal (non-NDMP)

Amon Client

To backup redolog files a separate client with the name of the database host is neccessary. However you do not need to create one if a client already exists for this host.

Label Template

For each of the pools mentioned above, NSR-ORA needs a separate label template.
