Configuring an Oracle Backup

Configuring an Oracle Backup

	To configure an Oracle backup, perform the following steps:
	1. Configure the devices you plan to use for a backup. See the online
	Help index: “configuring devices” for instructions.
	2. Configure media pools and media for a backup. See the online Help
	index: “creating media pools” for instructions.
	3. Create a Data Protector Oracle backup specification. See “Creating a
	Data Protector Oracle Backup Specification” on page 37.
OpenVMS	On OpenVMS, before performing Data Protector tasks using the CLI,
	execute:
	$@OMNI$ROOT:[BIN]OMNI$CLI_SETUP.COM
	This command procedure defines the symbols needed to invoke the Data
	Protector CLI. It gets installed when you chose the CLI option during the
	installation. Execute this command procedure from LOGIN.COM for all
	CLI users.
Cluster-Aware	Before you perform an offline backup in a cluster environment, take the
Clients	Oracle Database resource offline and bring it back online after the
	backup. This can be done using the Oracle fscmd command line interface
	commands in the Pre-execand Post-execcommands for the client
	system in a particular backup specification, or by using the Cluster
	Administrator.

Creating a New Template

You can use backup templates to apply the same set of options to a number of backup specifications. By creating your own template, you can specify the options exactly as you want them to be.

This allows you to apply all the options to a backup specification with a few mouse clicks, rather than having to specify all the options over and over again. This task is optional, as you can use one of the default templates as well.

If you prefer using predefined templates, see “Creating a Data Protector Oracle Backup Specification” on page 37 for a detailed explanation.
