[[Veritas-bu] NBU Oracle Agent / RMAN]

Hello Jago

        Thanks for your reply...
        hmhmmmm
        
        You are saying that the "Def-policy" is like the "User Backup" in
        the standard class?
        
        -----------------------------------------------------------
        I am reading the SAG for Oracle Agent...
        (I printed the March 2000, 100-001474) Version
        On page 54.. 
        "All Oracle database operations are performed through NetBackup
        for Oracle on Unix using a BACKUP POLICY schedule. This includes those
        backups started automatically."

        Also..on page 56
        Retention:
        The retention period for an Auto Full Backup... controls how long
        Netbackup keeps records of when a schedule backups have occurred. Note
        that this is different than with a Backup Policy schedule.
        

        thx

        Mike
