4.8 Setting Up NetBackup Policies for Oracle RMAN Backup

The following sections describe how to set up NetBackup (NBU) policies for NBU backup with RMAN.

To perform NBU backup with RMAN, you must have Veritas NetBackup for Oracle installed on the NBU master server, VERTIAS NetBackup client for Oracle installed on the primary host and the backup host. Refer to Veritas NetBackup for Oracle for installation and configuration instructions.

In addition, you must create an Oracle RMAN Recovery Catalog and configure Oracle TNS Service and Listener to allow connections to the Recovery Catalog from both primary and backup host. The Recovery Catalog can be created on any server. 3PAR Recovery Manager recommends that the Recovery Catalog is created on the backup host. See 4.8.3 Creating an RMAN Recovery Catalog on page 4.24 for instructions.

When perform NBU backup with RMAN, Recovery Manager supports full, differential, and cumulative incremental database backup. Recovery Manager also support full archive log backup (backup only archive logs).

Recovery Manager requires that you create a NBU policy for database backup. If you wish to perform archive log backup, you must create a separate NBU policy for it.

NOTE: This section assumes that you are familiar with Oracle Database and Veritas NetBackup (NBU). For more information on how to create NetBackup policy, refer to Veritas NetBackup for Oracle documentation.
