NetBackup™ for Oracle Administrator's Guide

NetBackup server and client requirements

Every NetBackup server includes the NetBackup client software by default. Therefore, you can use NetBackup for Oracle on a NetBackup server or client (if NetBackup for Oracle is supported on that platform).

Verify that the following requirements are met for the NetBackup server:

  • The NetBackup server software is installed and operational on the NetBackup server. The NetBackup server platform can be any that NetBackup supports.

    See the NetBackup Installation Guide.

  • One or more Oracle database instances must exist.

  • Make sure that you configure any backup media that the storage unit uses.

    The number of media volumes that are required depends on several things:

    • The devices used

    • The sizes of the databases that you want to back up

    • The amount of data that you want to archive

    • The size of your backups

    • The frequency of backups or archives

    See the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I.

  • Verify that the NetBackup client software is installed on the computer that has the databases you want to back up.

    If the database is clustered, you must use the same version of NetBackup on each node in the cluster.
