At least we are using 806 with Netbackup. But I will totally agree with you that it's shaky. I don't have any good experience so far. Sometimes the backup failed for no reason.. Anybody had any good experience with Veritas NetBackup? Winnie "HAWKINS, JAMES W [FND/1000]" on 06/08/2000 10:34:01 AM Please respond to ORACLE-L@fatcity.com To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L cc: (bcc: Winnie Liu/HQ/ISC) Subject: Legato SM vs. Veritas NetBackup Hello, As a corporate standard, we back up all Oracle databases with EBU/RMAN in conjunction with Veritas NetBackup. Specifically, we do all hotbackups directly to tape, through the use of a tape server - not a tape device connected directly to the Oracle server. We are having all kinds of problems with Veritas in general - they still do not support 8.0.6 or 8.1.6 databases, we cannot backup directly to tape on NT, linking the NetBackup libraries in to the Oracle kernel is shaky, etc. Since Legato is bundled with the Oracle server software, we are now considering it. I would like to know if anyone is currently set up with Legato running hotbackups to a tape server. Are there any issues or gotchas? Are there Oracle versions not supported by Legato? What about operating systems? Also, since it comes bundled with the server CD, is it free? Any responses would be much appreciated.
