We don’t use Clear Case but a couple
of ideas occur to me:
1) You can shutdown the Clear Case DB then backup the filesystems or
raw devices where it is stored. (We do this for Oracle DBs on vxfs
filesystems that we don’t use RMAN for as well as one older Oracle DB in
raw space – mostly on HP-UX).
2) Most DBs have a “dump” facility where you can dump out
the contents to a file. You can then backup that file. Later you can restore
by recreating the schema(s) and loading the DB dump back into the DB.

What
is the best way to backup Clear Case Infrastructure?
We
have 2 servers running Aix 5.1 with Oracle 10g on the db server.
We
want to use Netbackup 6.5 but can’t find an agent for the clearcase db
(proprietary db).
Just
looking for some insight from others.
thanks
