Veritas Storage Foundation™ for Oracle 5.0.1 Administrator's Guide

■ Automate tasks, such as creating or cloning a database using a Storage

Checkpoint, with the scheduler. (Java-based GUI only.)

■ Roll back databases, tablespaces, or datafiles to Storage Checkpoints.

■ Collect and display statistics on file system and Oracle space usage.

■ Collect and display storage object I/O statistics and the storage structure.

■ Monitor file system and Oracle datafile space usage and automatically grow

the file system as needed.

■ Examine volumes used by the file systems and overall system configuration.

■ Start or stop instances or duplicate databases. You can duplicate a database

using Storage Checkpoints or Database FlashSnap.

About Veritas NetBackup (optional)

Veritas NetBackup provides backup, archive, and restore capabilities for database

files and directories contained on client systems in a client-server network.

NetBackup server software resides on platforms that manage physical backup

storage devices. The NetBackup server provides robotic control, media

management, error handling, scheduling, and a repository of all client backup

images.

Administrators can set up schedules for automatic, unattended full and

incremental backups. These backups are managed entirely by the NetBackup

server. The administrator can also manually back up clients. Client users can

perform backups, archives, and restores from their client system, and once started,

these operations also run under the control of the NetBackup server.

Veritas NetBackup, while not a shipped component of Veritas Storage Foundation

for Oracle, can be purchased separately.

How block-level incremental backup works

Block-Level Incremental (BLI) Backup extends the capabilities of NetBackup to

back up only changed data blocks of Oracle database files. BLI Backup accomplishes

this backup methodology using the Storage Checkpoint facility in the Veritas File
