Hi Gang!
I'm getting mixed messages from some local vendors. We have a small
collection (100GB) of ArchLog/NoArchLog Oracle 8.1.7 databases and
just purchased Veritas DB Edition for Oracle. Our short-term goal is
to use Storage Checkpoints for creation of a mounted filesystem to be
backed up with Netbackup agents nightly. Our intent is to use
BPNotify_Start to manage the db state (begin backup) then perform the
necessary storage checkpoint(s) using the fsckptadm utility, mount the
checkpoint(s) and put the DB in online mode. The backup will copy all
filesystem files to tape. The mixed msg is that we may need additional
software to do this in a certified manner in Veritas' eyes. Is there
anyone with practical experience using this method? Does anyone know
of certification information regarding Veritas's software functions
and Oracle recovery?
Thanks!
Steve
