NOTE: This section is intended for the users who are familiar with the Oracle Database and
Symantec NetBackup (NBU). For more information on creating a NetBackup policy, refer to
Symantec NetBackup documentation.
Configuring the NetBackup Policy for Database Backup
For Recovery Manager for Oracle to perform backup and restoration correctly, you must use the
following guidelines in conjunction with Symantec NetBackup documentation when configuring a
NBU policy:
Backup Attribute 1. Select the standard type for the policy.
2. Select the cross mount points option.
3. Deselect the Allow multiple data stream and Block level incremental options.
Backup
Selections 1. It is recommended that you enter /dummy for the backup selections.
2. Recovery Manager generates the backup selection list on the fly to replace the value you entered.
Backup Schedule 1. Create a schedule for full backup.
2. If you wish to perform client-side database backup (initiated from Recovery Manager), set the
backup window to 0.
3. If you also wish to perform server-side database backup (initiated from NBU), specify the backup
window to fit your needs.
Set the backup client to the host name of the backup server, as the backup process will actually
take place on the backup server. Backup Clients
Configuring the NetBackup Policy for Archive Log Backup
This procedure is to backup the archive logs only. For Recovery Manager for Oracle to perform
backup and restoration correctly, you must use the following guidelines in conjunction with Symantec
NetBackup documentation when configuring a NBU policy:
Backup Attribute 1. Select the standard type for the policy.
2. Select the cross mount points option.
3. Deselect the Allow multiple data stream and Block level incremental options.

Selections 1. It is recommended that you enter /dummy for the backup selections.
2. Recovery Manager generates the backup selection list on the fly to replace the value you entered.
Backup Schedule 1. Create two schedules, one for full backup and one for incremental backup (optional). For the
incremental backup schedule, you can create either a differential incremental or cumulative
incremental backup schedule.
NOTE: Incremental backup of archive log using RMAN is not supported.
2. If you wish to perform client-side archive log backup (initiated from Recovery Manager), set the
backup window to 0.
3. If you also wish to perform server-side archive log backup (initiated from NBU), specify the
backup window to fit your needs.
Set the backup client to the host name of the backup server, as the backup process will actually
take place on the backup server. Backup Clients
Setting Up NetBackup Configuration Parameters for the Backup Server
Recovery Manager uses bpstart and bpend scripts as a hook to NetBackup to create Virtual
Copy of a database, then present the database Virtual Copy to the backup server for backup, and
to cleanup the Virtual Copy after backup process completes respectively. The BPSTART_TIMEOUT
and BPEND_TIMEOUT in the /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf on the backup server should
