Sorry for the wrong reply. You asked about NetBackup and I replied about BackupExec.

We did NetBackup restore to another computer and it worked ok without problems. We DID built the directory structure beforehand so I do not know if he builds it himself when needed.

Naveen - There is an option in BackupExec to run user script before and after the backup. Since archive logs are written with the (OS) archive bit off, we just use 'attrib *.* +a' and then backup the archive log and then delete all the files with the archive bit on in the after backup script. While replying to you I remembered a problem we had with this method. When we restored all the files we found out that the archive log that were created DURING the backup itself are not included in the backup set. You will need to: 'alter system archive log current' after the backup and backup in a different job the archive log that were created during the backup.

Is no-one out there using NetBackup???.

Without wishing to sound rude I'll assume a non-response indicates an affirmative to that OR that you're all too busy to voice an opinion ;)

Howdy Folks,

Would appreciate feedback on experiences, positive :) or negative :(, folk have had using Veritas NetBackup product for DB recovery, especially in DR scenarios. There is an Oracle agent but so far all it appears to me to be is a glorious scheduler of your own RMAN scripted jobs!. Feedback on features I may have "missed" with agent would also be appreciated.
