Re: [Veritas-bu] Doubt about scheduled backups

Have you tried running a manual backup from Veritas to check if it works.
I use Veritas to schedule my RMAN backups, and they run fine.
The policy is created using the policy type of Oracle. The client is set, and the backup selections tab has the path to the shell script that runs the backups.
The shell script sets the environment, su's - oracle and calls RMAN with the RMAN directives file as input. The only role Veritas has in this process is to call
the script on the client which actually calls RMAN to run the backup.
Using cron to run these scripts will also work just fine.

Since it is RMAN it is client initiated. Rather than using NBU scheduler to kick off the backup you can use cron on the system where you execute the RMAN commands to initiate the RMAN script.

Hi all,

I have a doubt about scheduled backups. I’m doing oracle backups (10g and 9i) using rman and netbackup 4.5_SP6. I create a policy that do a full database backup once a week (on Saturday). I set the frequency of the policy to 1 week, and my start windows is from Saturday 06:00 am to Monday 06:00 am. So I tested my policy doing a manual backup on Wednesday. On Saturday the scheduled policy didn’t ran. Netbackup simply ignored my policy. Is this a expected behavior? Because I set my policy to run once a week and I ran manually on Wednesday, then netbackup only will run the policy again after a week?

Thank you advance,
