About configuring Snapshot Client with NetBackup for Oracle
This topic explains how to configure snapshot and instant recovery backups for the Oracle policy. For information on how a snapshot method is automatically selected and details on the types of backup methods, see the NetBackup Snapshot Client Administrator's Guide.
Snapshot backups do not back up all database objects. Your backup configuration must include one or more automatic schedules to perform snapshot backups and one or more application schedules to perform stream-based backups. This configuration ensures that the entire database can be restored successfully.
For snapshot or instant recovery backups, configure the following policies and schedules as follows:
A Oracle policy with the following attributes:
Snapshot methods for the file systems in which the database files reside.
A backup method on the policy attributes dialog box.
An Automatic Full Backup schedule to perform snapshot and off-host backups of the database.
(Conditional) For script-based policies: An Application Backup schedule to back up the transaction logs.
To use NAS snapshot with NetBackup for Oracle, the Oracle database must be installed and configured to work in a NAS environment.
If you want to use a SnapVault storage unit, make sure that the storage unit is configured before you start configuring the NAS snapshot policy.
For more information about NAS snapshot and SnapVault, see the NetBackup Snapshot Client Administrator's Guide.
