About the NetBackup for Oracle backup and restore operations

For a backup operation, the NetBackup for Oracle agent performs the following steps:

  • Receives a list of files to back up from RMAN.

  • A unique backup file name identifies each file in the NetBackup catalog. To ensure that this procedure occurs, use the format operand to give each data file a unique name.

  • Queries the policy to check whether the Snapshot Client policy attributes are specified.

  • Initiates a configured number of Snapshot Client backups and waits until the jobs are completed.

For a restore operation, the NetBackup for Oracle agent performs the following steps:

  • Receives a list of files to restore from RMAN.

  • Sends a restore request to the NetBackup server for all files in the list.

  • Waits for NetBackup to restore all files in the file list.
