Oracle Database Backup

[macpt80]

Hi all,

I am interested in evaluating Veeam B&R to backup the Oracle database over ASM on physical servers.

What is the best technical approach to do this? Should I first use Oracle RMAN to backup to disk and then use Veeam B&R. Is it possible to directly integrate Veeam B&R with Oracle RMAN?

Is there clear documentation on backing up the Oracle database over ASM with Veeam B & R?

Thanks in advance
Mac

Hi Mac,

First: Welcome to the forums

Today, RMAN is not yet integrated with Veeam B&R, but we are aware of this need and if it is OK with you I'm going to count this as a vote for the feature request

All our documentation on Oracle backup can be found here: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... tml?ver=95 (VMware) or here https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... tml?ver=95 (Hyper-V)

Cheers
Mike

Thanks!!!

Appreciate you reply.

I was looking to documentation and I only see backup of archive logs. There's any way perform a full backup of database?

Thanks

Yes, whenever the image-level backup runs, it will take a full backup of the database. You have to look at this as 2 jobs at once. Image-level backup and then the log backup every X time.

You will notice when you use the Veeam Explorer for Oracle after that, that you will be able to do a database recovery, to a point in time or to a specific transaction

Cool.

Image-level backup is done using Oracle RMAN scripts? How is done?
We are using ASM for datafiles, is it supported?

Thanks

Hello, currently this is not possible as we don't yet have an RMAN plug-in for Solaris. Thanks!
