I don't recall the sample, but we use os authentication (I.e., "connect target;" ... no passwords ... os authentication).

Implementing NetBackup Database Agent backups for Oracle.

Using the NetBackup provided sample script as the basis for the backup script.

/usr/openv/netbackup/ext/db_ext/oracle/samples/rman/hot_database_backup.sh

How does everyone deal with exposing the TARGET_CONNECT_STR?

Using the example script, the TARGET_CONNECT_STR is exposed. Anyone with access can view the RMAN command with a simple ‘ps’ command while the RMAN backup is running, that exposes the Oracle credentials.
