Recovery Manager and Third-Party Backup Tools
Recovery Manager for Oracle User’s Guide
■ Calls the bpbackup command from the NBU master server to backup files listed in the
include list.
For Oracle RMAN backup, Recovery Manager:
■ Starts up a clone database in mounted mode using the mounted virtual copy on the backup
host, assuming ORACLE_HOME is installed and configured in the Recovery Manager
repository.
■ Calls an RMAN backup script (vcdba_rman_dbbackup.sh or
vcdba_rman_archbackup.sh) to backup the cloned database.
■ Removes the cloned database.
■ Un-mounts the virtual copy.
2.10.1.2 Automatic Backup
During an automatic backup, NBU initiates a backup process on the NBU client (the backup
host).
For an NBU (user-managed) backup:
■ The NBU client executes the bpstart_notify.<policy_name> script.
■ The bpstart_notify script creates a virtual copy of the database or archive log
destination, mounts it on the backup host, then generates the include list in the
/usr/
openv/netbackup/include_list.<policy_name>
file, which contains a list of files
on the virtual copy for backup.
■ Once the backup process is completed, the NBU client executes the
bpend_notify.<policy_name> script to perform virtual copy cleanup.
NOTE: The RMAN backup scripts (vcdba_rman_dbbackup.sh and
vcdba_rman_archbackup.sh) are generated at /etc/3par/solutions/
<primary_host>.ora.<oracle_sid>
during the creation of the Recovery
Manager Configuration file.
