Ravindra,

Veritas distributes RMan scripts with NetBackup that work nicely. We've been using the combo for a while on Oracle 8.1.6 under Windows 2000. IMHO RMan is wonderful in that it does hot backups with minimal impact on database performance - at least less redo impact than putting tablespaces in hot backup mode, which must be done for "traditional" scripted hot backups.

With Oracle Enterprise Edition RMan can also do incremental backups, which is very nice. A full Level 0 hot backup of our production db takes almost 14 hours, while a Level 1 incremental backup takes only about 2 hours.

RMan also handles backing up, then deleting the archived redo logs very nicely.

I'd recommend using RMan, with or without NetBackup.

We are planning to use Veritas Netbackup to backup our Oracle Database(OPS).
I am not sure whether we need to use the combination of Netbackup and RMAN
to take the backup/recovery or just Netbackup is sufficient to take the
backup.

Can anyone tell how this combination works.

Should I have Both or just Netbackup is sufficient for the Oracle backup and
receovery.

thanks

Ravindra
