Integrating Oracle and Data Protector
Introduction
Chapter 1 3
Introduction
Data Protector offers offline as well as online backup of the Oracle Server
instances. To enable recovery from an online backup, the respective
Oracle Server instance must operate in the ARCHIVELOG mode.
The online backup concept is widely accepted. It addresses the business
requirements for high application availability, as opposed to the offline
concept. During an online backup, a database remains available for use,
while during an offline backup, the database cannot be used by an
application.
Backup Types Using the Data Protector Oracle integration, you can perform the
following types of backups:
• Online backup of a whole database or parts of it
• Online incremental backup (Oracle differential incremental backup 1
to 4)
• Offline backup of a whole database
• Backup of Archived Redo Logs only
• Backup of the Oracle recovery catalog
• Backup of the Oracle control files
• With Oracle 10g, backup of recovery files residing in the flash
recovery area.
The following recovery files in the flash recovery area are backed up:
— full and incremental backup sets
— control file autobackup (SPFILE included if used)
— archived redo logs
— datafile copies, control file copies
Flashback logs, the current control file, and online redo logs are not
backed up.
•In Oracle Data Guard environment, backup of standby database.
