Integrating Amanda with Oracle RMAN
2004-06-18 18:48:53
Has anyone successfully integrated Amanda with Oracle (9i) RMAN?
I'm just getting started with RMAN as an alternative to the old "alter
tablespace begin/end backup" scripting. I'd like to be able to do
something along the lines of:
1) RMAN does a backup to disk that includes the datafiles, controlfiles,
and archived redo logs (and cleans up (deletes) any now-backed-up
archived redo logs from the disk.)
2) Amanda copies this "backupset" to tape during its regular nightly
run. Amanda is configured to ignore the live datafiles (.dbf),
unarchived redo (.log), and control (.ctl) files.
(for you fellow DBAs - archived redo is kept on a separate disk (and
will soon be copied/shipped to a different machine.))
_After Amanda successfully backs up the backupset_, via "registering the
user performed backup" with RMAN, RMAN knows which tape volume contains
which backupset. I haven't yet dug into the "user performed backup"
aspects of RMAN...
If anyone's already done this kind of thing, I'd appreciate knowing how
you configured both RMAN and Amanda as well as any advice. Thanks.
