DESCRIPTION

The nborair command can determine if an image is available for Oracle Copilot instant recovery. The command lists files from a backup ID, creates and deletes recovery points, lists recovery points from an appliance, and validates a snapshot for use. Some of the nborair options can only be run from the master server. The nborair command performs the following operations:

  • -list_images lists backup images compatible with Oracle Copilot instant recovery. This option can be run from the master server or the client.

  • -list_files lists the backup files information, from a given backup ID, for use with Oracle Copilot instant recovery. This option can be run from the master server or the client.

  • -create_recovery_point creates a recovery point on a NetBackup appliance for instant recovery. This option can only be run from the master server.

  • -list_recovery_points lists the recovery points available on the NetBackup appliance. This option can only be run from the master server.

  • -delete_recovery_point deletes the recovery point on the requested NetBackup appliance. This option can only be run from the master server.

  • -validate validates the snapshot for use with the recovery point that is created. This option can be run from the master server or the client.

Note:

The environment variable ORACLE_HOME is required to be set when the -validate operation is used in a Windows environment.

OPTIONS

-appliance appliance_name

The NetBackup appliance where the instant recovery point is located.

See the NetBackup Appliance Administrator's Guide for the list of NFS export options.

-export_path export_path

The export path for the instant recovery point.

-mount_path mount_path

The mount path of the instant recovery point on the destination client.

-s mm/dd/yyyy [hh:mm:ss] or unixtime
