Re: ArcServer DBAgent for Oracle

I installed it for a client on 8.0.4/NT Server 4 about two months ago. Seems to work as advertised on the box. Did a few partial and one complete backup/restore and the system worked OK. It seems to use the 'old' Oracle7 style of backup for hot backups (i.e. ALTER...BEGIN..BACKUP) rather than the server processes style backup of RMAN in Oracle8. Maybe they've changed this now? MIght be worth looking - my 'normal' platform of AIX uses IBM's ADSM, which now does interface directly with RMAN.
