David,

I do oracle RMAN backups to tape using the Oracle/RMAN extension. I do not
know/hear anything like export directly to the tape.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Backup of Oracle exports direct to tape


Good morning,

Our current environment is DataCenter 3.4.1 and we're using the Oracle/RMAN
extension.  In addition to using the extension, are dba's are doing exports
to disk to back up their tablespaces.  

We have a request from our dba's asking if we can backup their exports
direct to tape in a similar fashion to the RMAN backups, reducing the need
for this disk space.  Is anyone doing this kind of backup?  Is there a way
to perform this using the RMAN extension or perhaps another method?

Regards,

David
