NetBackup™ for Oracle Administrator's Guide

Performing an XML export archive

The following sections describe how to perform an XML export archive.

Table: Tasks and commands

Task

The commands that are used to accomplish the task

Automatic backup of an Oracle policy

As with Oracle backups using RMAN, the most convenient way to create archives that consist of XML exports of data from your database is to create schedules for automatic backups. The Oracle policy runs NetBackup for Oracle shell scripts.

When the NetBackup scheduler invokes a schedule for an automatic backup, the NetBackup for Oracle XML export shell scripts run as follows:

  • In the same order as they appear in the file list

  • On all clients in the client list

The NetBackup for Oracle XML export shell scripts start the XML export by running the NetBackup bporaexp or bporaexp64 utility.

Manual backup of an Oracle policy

The administrator can use the NetBackup server software to manually run an automatic backup schedule for the Oracle policy. For more information, see the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I.

User-directed XML exports from the client

The following sections describe procedures for performing user-directed XML exports.

  • See Running the NetBackup for Oracle XML export script on the client.

  • See Running bporaexp on the client as an Oracle user.

  • See Writing to a directory versus writing to a storage unit.

  • See About bporaexp parameters.
