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 | The Application Backup schedule stores stream-based backups. The Default-Application-Backup schedule is automatically configured as an Application Backup schedule. |
|
Differential incremental backup, Cumulative incremental backup |
Note: 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. |
