Configuring an Oracle Backup
Chapter 136
Configuring an Oracle Backup
To configure an Oracle backup, perform the following steps:
1. Configure the devices you plan to use for a backup. See the online
Help index: “configuring devices” for instructions.
2. Configure media pools and media for a backup. See the online Help
index: “creating media pools” for instructions.
3. Create a Data Protector Oracle backup specification. See “Creating a
Data Protector Oracle Backup Specification” on page 37.
OpenVMS On OpenVMS, before performing Data Protector tasks using the CLI,
execute:
$@OMNI$ROOT:[BIN]OMNI$CLI_SETUP.COM
This command procedure defines the symbols needed to invoke the Data
Protector CLI. It gets installed when you chose the CLI option during the
installation. Execute this command procedure from LOGIN.COM for all
CLI users.
Cluster-Aware
Clients
Before you perform an offline backup in a cluster environment, take the
Oracle Database resource offline and bring it back online after the
backup. This can be done using the Oracle fscmd command line interface
commands in the Pre-exec and Post-exec commands for the client
system in a particular backup specification, or by using the Cluster
Administrator.
Creating a New Template
You can use backup templates to apply the same set of options to a
number of backup specifications. By creating your own template, you can
specify the options exactly as you want them to be.
This allows you to apply all the options to a backup specification with a
few mouse clicks, rather than having to specify all the options over and
over again. This task is optional, as you can use one of the default
templates as well.
If you prefer using predefined templates, see “Creating a Data Protector
Oracle Backup Specification” on page 37 for a detailed explanation.
