Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Legato SM vs. Veritas NetBackup
Winnie, we have had the same experience with Netbackup. It is not reliable,
fails for no reason sometimes with some obscure error, and at times is extremely
S-L-O-W. Which is odd because our tape drives are suppossed to be lightning
fast and resources are not always the problem.
In fact I've been fighting with it all afternoon. Once you get around being told 'it's Oracle's problem', then you can get to the real problem.

Subject: Re: Legato SM vs. Veritas NetBackup
They do support Oracle 806. At least we are using 806 with Netbackup. But I will totally agree with you that it's shaky. I don't have any good experience so far. Sometimes the backup failed for no reason..
Anybody had any good experience with Veritas NetBackup?

Hello,
As a corporate standard, we back up all Oracle databases with EBU/RMAN in
conjunction with Veritas NetBackup. Specifically, we do all hotbackups
directly to tape, through the use of a tape server - not a tape device
connected directly to the Oracle server. We are having all kinds of
problems with Veritas in general - they still do not support 8.0.6 or 8.1.6
databases, we cannot backup directly to tape on NT, linking the NetBackup
libraries in to the Oracle kernel is shaky, etc. Since Legato is bundled
with the Oracle server software, we are now considering it. I would like
to
know if anyone is currently set up with Legato running hotbackups to a tape
server. Are there any issues or gotchas? Are there Oracle versions not
supported by Legato? What about operating systems? Also, since it comes
bundled with the server CD, is it free? Any responses would be much
appreciated.

Advantages: you don't have to worry that someone will run a program that will cause a table to extend and it will fail for lack of space
Disadvantages: you don't KNOW that they have extended, so you have to monitor it very carefully, because what you REALLY want to know is if the tables are extending quickly so that you can size them better
