How Snapshot Client software affects backup types
The backup types available on the Schedules tab of the policy play a different role for NetBackup for Oracle with Snapshot Client backups.
See Table: Backup types for Oracle policies.
Table: Backup types for Oracle policies
Backup type | Description |
|---|
Application Backup
| An application backup applies only to script-based policies not the Oracle Intelligent Policies. The Application Backup schedule stores stream-based backups. The Default-Application-Backup schedule is automatically configured as an Application Backup schedule.
|
Full backup
Differential incremental backup,
Cumulative incremental backup
| The full and incremental backup schedule types automatically start the backups by running the NetBackup for Oracle RMAN scripts. They also store the snapshot backups.
For most snapshot types, any automatic backup schedule (full, cumulative, or differential) results in a full volume snapshot. BLI is the only snapshot method that can perform an incremental backup. |
