Table: NetBackup for Oracle XML export and XML import archiving features

Feature	Description
System- and database-independent archive format	NetBackup for Oracle uses the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) standard to represent relational database table data that is extracted from an Oracle database. The eXtensible Markup Language (XML) is a universal format for structured documents and data. The XML 1.0 standards are produced by the World Wide Web Consortium and include the XML Schema standard. Unicode UTF-8 is the character set encoding generated by NetBackup for Oracle. Standard XML processors support UTF-8. US7ASCII is a strict subset of UTF-8.
Self-identifying archive format	The XML Schema standard is used to describe the table data that is included in an archive. In this way, the archive contains the key to understanding the format of the data as well as the data itself.
Command line interfaces that allow export and import at row-level granularity	Parameter files specify the table data to include in an archive and the table data to extract from an archive for import into an Oracle database.
Restore destination option	NetBackup for Oracle can either restore XML data to an operating system directory or import the data back into the Oracle database.
Flexible archive image searches	The NetBackup catalog contains information on the contents of the archive that can be searched by using flexible search criteria, such as tablename or user.
