Backup3G/DA-RMAN/User Guide

From Documentation

Getting Started

DA-RMAN is the newest Oracle Backup module for backup3G. DA-RMAN is a set of backup and restore procedures that lets you perform:

• offline backup of an Oracle instance
• online backup of an Oracle instance or specified tablespaces
• archived log files backup
• control file and spfile backup
• full or partial restore of backed-up Oracle objects.

DA-RMAN lets you quickly restore Oracle files in the event of a system failure. Once the files are restored from tape, database recovery should be done by a qualified Oracle DBA.

Scheduling and monitoring of Oracle RMAN backups is exactly the same as for any other backup job in backup3G.

DA-RMAN supports Oracle 9i and 10g.
