Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: BackupExec & Oracle
If you're using BackupExec to backup the server's filesystems as well as the
Oracle DB, make sure it does NOT hit your database files directly. Some
Winders admins don't understand that it'll lock the datafiles, redos,
controlfiles, etc from the instance, causing all sorts of icky recovery
scenarios.
At least a few years ago, it locked them under NT 4.0. I don't know if this behavior has changed (or is possible to change under NuTFutS) in newer versions.
Good luck! :)

Hello Everyone!
I found out on Friday that my backup strategy has been NULL AND VOID out in
Las Vegas. (Read: Nothing has been written to tape lately. Thanks, Guys)
I was also notified that "effective immediately" Veritas BackupExec is the
software we are using.
Any gotchas/experiences/comments from people who have used Backup Exec and
the associated Oracle utility? Do you trust BackupExec to fire your rman
backups, complete correct rman restores, etc.? I have shied away from
writing directly to tape in the past but don't have the luxury of disk for
rman backups anymore.
I'm on Windows 2000 sp2, Oracle version 8.1.7.2
Any comments are appreciated. Thanks
