Application Aware Oracle

[Fegume]

Hello.

I have one question.

I have one Virtual machine with Linux O.S and Oracle installed.

I create one Job Vmware backup with this VM and enable application aware processing for my Oracle app, and when finished and review logs. I see that the oracle BBDD not backuped. I think that this mode is only Windows use Vss.

Then how I can do it? backup oracle on my virtual machine with Linux.

Thanks

If you enable guest processing with Linux, you can "test" the connection with the button. It will check if you have the needed rights in the Linux operating system.

Veeam guest processing detects based on /etc/oratab and other default configuration file places where the oracle instances are and processes for consistency alter database begin backup.
You can find all kind of logs in the /tmp/ with different veeam folders there. Usually all commands that we issue against the databases and what instances we detect can be found there.

You can open a support case if you think that something is wrong with our processing.

Can you please share what BBDD is?

Hi,

I think that no me explained correctly.

1. How backup VM Vmware with O.S--> Is easy

2. How backup Oracle 12 run in VM with O.S Red Hat? --> is the question.

Is it necesary install agent for linux in virtual machine? or I can user the Application Aware option insite Job Vmware?

Regards!

No agent needed. Just enable Guest Processing in the Veeam Job. In the options you can define if you want to do archive log backup and how frequently so that you can perform point in time restore with Veeam.

Hello.

I understand, but I run working vmware with aware app with 90 minute file log.

I review the job and see the running oracle redo logs. I check this, but it's not doing anything
If I try to restore the Oracle application via VM, the Oracle restore option is not displayed.

Please any help!

Thank you!

Please open a support case and let them support team check what is wrong with it.

In the meantime please check that /etc/oratab is correct and has a reference to the instances on the system.
