What's new about NetBackup for Oracle
In the Specify maximum limits area of the Oracle tab, you can specify for all Oracle backups performed. This parameter enables RMAN's multisection backup.
When an Oracle instance or an instance group needs to be registered, you can use as an option for credentials.
Full support of Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) when you set up an Oracle policy in the NetBackup web UI. The NetBackup Administration Console does not have support for Oracle RAC policy setup. However, this manual contains all information for creating an Oracle RAC policy that applies to the policy creation in the web UI. The NetBackup Web UI Security Administrator's Guide contains the instructions to add an Oracle RAC.
The NetBackup web UI also has the ability to load balance the RAC database during a backup. The NetBackup Web UI Security Administrator's Guide contains the information for load balancing.
Warning:
Note that all setup information in Appendix A and Appendix B is deprecated as of NetBackup 8.3. The next NetBackup maintenance release removes the support for the setup that is described in these appendices. All OIP users should use the Oracle RAC feature in the web UI to protect any RAC setup.
