Re: Rman/Legato

Are you talking about using Legato Networker to do RMAN backups *directly* to tape, without staging on disk first? If so, we tried this about 1.5 years ago. You have to buy the piece of the Legato Networker software package that works with Oracle. We had limited success with it. We stumbled upon a bug which would not allow the backup to be scheduled through Networker, but were able to schedule it through an oracle cron job. As soon as RMAN sees the "allocate channel type SBT_TAPE", it goes out and talks to Legato via the libnwora.so library.
When it worked, it worked pretty slick (recoveries too), but Legato didn't keep up with oracle versions quickly enough for our upgrades, so we decided not to use it. The big plus with using it of course, is that if you have a giant database, you don't need to have all that disk to stage the RMAN backup set on, and then later send it to tape.   Diana
