Setting Up NetBackup Policies for NBU (User-Managed) Backup
Recovery Manager for Oracle User’s Guide
4.7.2 Configuring the NetBackup Policy for Archive Log Backup
Perform this step only if you want to only backup the archive logs. For Recovery Manager to
perform backup and restoration correctly, you must use the following guidelines in
conjunction with Veritas NetBackup documentation when configuring a NBU policy:
4.7.3 Setting Up NetBackup Configuration Parameters
For Recovery Manager to perform backups correctly, the following parameters in the /usr/
openv/netbackup/bp.conf
file must be changed on the backup host (NBU client). If a
virtual hostname is used on the primary host for cluster purposes, the CLIENT_NAME must be
specified in the
bp.conf file for the virtual hostname in order for the Recovery Manager
restoration utilitiy to function properly.
■ USE_CTIME_FOR_INCREMENTAL
■ BPSTART_TIMEOUT = 600
■ BPEND_TIMEOUT = 600
■ CLIENT_NAME = <virtual_hostname>
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 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 archive log backup (initiated from
Recovery Manager), set the backup window to 0.
3 If you also wish to perform automatic archive log backup (initiated from
NBU), specify the backup window to fit your needs.
Backup Clients Set the backup client to the host name of the backup host, as the backup
process will actually take place on the backup host.
