Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU and Oracle

Nate,

We also have DD670’s and currently backup our oracle environment via Netbackup to the Data Domain appliances using NBU to call an RMAN script. However, you can do direct RMAN backups to Data Domain appliances and we hope to have that configured in the near future. Data Domain has a white paper on best practices with RMAN (http://info.emc.com/mk/get/SDL?reg_src=web&P.ctp_program_execution.Source_ID=DBM10615-16960). We plan to change our backup strategy once our DBA’s move to ASM filesystems for our oracle data. Essentially I believe that the setup would have RMAN dump its backups to the DD’s via CIFS or NFS.

Thanks,

Mark Glazerman

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NBU and Oracle

We have a DataDomain 670 that I would like to start sending our oracle RMAN jobs to. I would prefer to have the jobs go straight to the dd670 rather than through the media server. Right now we use RMAN on the oracle host and NBU (7.0.1) talks to the DD670 over OST. Do I simply setup the oracle host as a media server with it also configured to talk to the DD670 over OST? Or is there a better way to go about doing this configuration.
