HP OpenView Storage B6960-96008 manual Backing Up an Oracle Database

Integrating Oracle and Data Protector

Backing Up an Oracle Database

For example, you may decide to perform daily backups and make multiple copies of the online redo logs and the Archived Redo Logs to several different locations.

An example of scheduling backups of production databases:

•Weekly full backup

•Daily incremental backup

•Archived Log backups as needed

To schedule an Oracle backup specification, proceed as follows:

1.In the HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Manager, switch to the Backup context.

2.In the Scoping Pane, expand Backup, Backup Specifications, and then Oracle Server.

3.Double-click the backup specification you want to schedule and click the Schedule tab.

4.In the Schedule page, select a date in the calendar and click Add to open the Schedule Backup dialog box.

5.Specify Recurring, Time options, Recurring options, and Session options.

Note that the backup type can be full or incremental, with the incremental level as high as Incr 4. See Figure 1-14 on page 60. See the RMAN documentation for details on incremental backup levels.
