RMAN_OUTPUT_DIR for NetBackup clients
The RMAN_OUTPUT_DIR specifies which directory to place the RMAN input and output locally on the client for Oracle Intelligent Policy backups. NetBackup does not clean up the log files so the Oracle user has to clean up the log files manually. The log is only created when a backup is run using an Oracle Intelligent Policy. Only one RMAN_OUTPUT_DIR entry per client is allowed in a Windows environment. In a UNIX environment, each user can place the output in a different location by adding the RMAN_OUTPUT_DIR entry to $HOME/bp.conf file. The value in the $HOME/bp.conf file takes precedence if it exists.
The following are examples of RMAN_OUTPUT_DIR entries:
Windows: install_path\oracle\oracle_logs\RMAN
UNIX: /oracle/oracle_logs/rman
For information about RMAN_OUTPUT_DIR, see the NetBackup for Oracle Administrator's Guide.
