Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RMAN vs. Veritas Backup Exec (not NetBackup)
Currently, we are backing up our 8i databases on Solaris 5.8 using nightly =
cold backups. We use Veritas Backup Exec to backup the resulting files to =
tape. However, with the recent implementation of a 200Gb 9i database on =
Windows, it's time to pursue a more sophisticated backup process.
I have been slogging through the RMAN syntax (yuck!), but once you get the = RMAN scripts set up, it seems pretty straightforward.
We are looking at the Veritas Backup Agent for Oracle, but I'm having = trouble getting details on how it works. I'm still waiting on a call back = from their support staff. I have played with the Veritas GUI, and I can = see how it appears to work on its own (without RMAN). However, I thought = I read that the Backup Agent was integrated with RMAN, but I can't find = any details.
So, my actual questions are:
Offline responses are fine, if this seems too OT.
Thanks!
