About BLI policy attributes
NetBackup applies policy attribute values when it backs up files.
The following attributes must be set for BLI backup:
| Set to Standard. |
| Select to enable BLI backups. If the BLI attribute is not enabled, NetBackup uses the standard method to back up the files in the file list. |
| Set so that the BLI backup policies run before other policies. |
| Define as the Oracle database instance name ($ORACLE_SID) in each of the policies for the same instance. Multistream backups start when all the policies with a particular keyword phrase complete their respective startup scripts. If you have multiple Oracle database instances (SIDs) use a separate set of policies for each SID. If the SIDs are backed up simultaneously and any share a common file system for data files, use Nodata Storage Checkpoints. Set the METHOD to NODATA_CKPT_HOT. |
Note:
Do not change a keyword phrase after it is set in a policy. The keyword phrase is used in naming Storage Checkpoints. Changing the keyword phrase necessitates a full backup even if an incremental backup is requested.
The NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I describes other policy attributes and how to configure them.
