Good point Carlos,

In fact there is no restore option for RMAN in the NBU GUI or CLI.  Veritas has 
purposely set it up that way as did other vendors in collaboration with Oracle. 
 All the NBU RMAN policy really does is act as a master scheduler to launch the 
RMAN script.  The DBA has to log into RMAN and look at its own set of logs to 
do a restore.  Not an RMAN expert, but I do not believe it can do an alternate 
machine restore like NBU does.  

I think what Alan is trying to do is get Oracle to dump out some sort of file 
that can be backed up as a regular file.  So a separate standard policy is 
created, backs up this regular file, then uses an alternate restore method to 
point to restore to a different destination machine.  If he is talking about 
the Oracle export method, then that should work.

    If backup was done using RMAN the restore should be initialized by RMAN, in 
the RMAN script the DBA can recover the DB or not. To redirect the restore to 
another server has a procedure in the NetBackup Oracle administrator's guide.

Assunto: [Veritas-bu]  Restoring RMAN files


This is for an alternate client restore to a client that I cannot get the nbu 
ports opened for.  I've been told that if I can restore the rman files as plain 
files, they can then be moved to an appropriate server where the dba's will be 
able to restore the db from them.  Does this sound correct?

Thanks,

Alan
