oh one more thing i failed to mention, recovery is a real pain. it will restore files with a very scre*** up names. it removes all backslashes and makes one whole big filename. u then need to do some surgery on it. it is not as simple as ebu/rman. i think they r doing this purposely bcos they would like us to purchase netbackup instead of the cheaper scaled down product backupexec.

Hello Everyone!

I found out on Friday that my backup strategy has been NULL AND VOID out in Las Vegas. (Read: Nothing has been written to tape lately. Thanks, Guys) I was also notified that "effective immediately" Veritas BackupExec is the software we are using.

Any gotchas/experiences/comments from people who have used Backup Exec and the associated Oracle utility? Do you trust BackupExec to fire your rman backups, complete correct rman restores, etc.? I have shied away from writing directly to tape in the past but don't have the luxury of disk for rman backups anymore.

I'm on Windows 2000 sp2, Oracle version 8.1.7.2

Any comments are appreciated. Thanks
