HP 3PAR Application Software Suite for Oracle - Manual (Page 42)

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:
Select the Oracle type for the policy. Backup Attribute
Backup Selections 1. Enter the location of RMAN backup script
(/etc/3par/solutions/<db_server>.ora<oracle_sid>/rmora_nbu_dbbackup.sh).
2. Recovery Manager for Oracle will generate the RMAN backup script at the specified location
when you create the configuration file (see below for details).
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.
2. If you wish to perform immediate database backup (initiated from Recovery Manager), set
the backup window to 0.
3. If you also wish to perform automatic 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
