Re: NetBackup Oracle on Hyper-V

Hi Charlotte,

The answer to your question is very simple: test. If you can clone a VM and restore the database on it to a consistent state, you're in good shape. If not, you will need to backup the VM as a physical box, which means installing NB agent and writing the script to backup your database. If latter is the case, may the force be with you. With NB, that is a lot of work.

Regards
