We use Oracle Hyperion also and when we backup the server containing the
ESSBASE service, it is shutdown first before the backup is done, then
restarted afterwards.  However, we have determined that this is not
working very well.  We often have to reboot the hyperion servers several
times a week.  We have 7 servers as part of hyperion.  I have the
instructions from Oracle/Hyperion what shows the backup strategies for the
hyperion environment.  I can email it to you if you wish.  The document
was written by Linda Babusci but I don't know if she is still with
Oracle/Hyperion.

Subject
[ADSM-L] Backing up Oracle Hyperion Essbase






Folks,

I've researched and mostly determined that backing this guy up is a matter
of closing it down (or putting it into readonly mode) and backing up the
files.  I saw a couple of entries from folks doing this several years ago.

Our competition for this is EMC Avamar/Data Domain.  Getting hurt by
source side deduplication which we'll have down the road.

If any of you are still out there listening and can provide me with a bit
of information, I would appreciate it.  Private email or the phone number
below.

My indebtedness will be immeasurable!
