We have just recently installed two servers running Solaris 10 and an Oracle database (don't know much about version, will need to check further). Currently, I use Veritas Netbackup 4.5 datacenter for all of our server backups to a Quantum ATL. Solaris 10 isn't supported with Netbackup ver 4.5, and although I have the new Veritas software, I haven't worked out a plan for the upgrade yet. My primary concern is to get backups of the two servers. I have attached a DLT drive to one server and I am using ufsdump to get the OS, but wondered what the correct procedure was for the db dump. Is it possible? Do I need to put Db in queiscent mode etc? What can I do for now until I upgrade Netbackup.

thanks,
