Backing up and restoring Oracle data
To protect Oracle content, first register the application server so that IBM Spectrum Protect
Plus recognizes it. Then create backup and restore
job definitions, including SLA requirements such as job schedule and retention policies.
Adding an Oracle provider
Providers are servers that host objects and attributes. Once a provider is registered, an inventory of the provider is captured and added to IBM Spectrum Protect Plus , enabling you to perform backup and restore jobs, as well as run reports.
Creating an Oracle backup job
Use a Backup job to back up Oracle environments with snapshots.
Creating an Oracle restore job
Use a Restore job to restore Oracle environments from snapshots. IBM Spectrum Protect Plus creates a vSnap clone from the version selected during the job definition creation and creates an NFS share. The IBM Spectrum Protect Plus agent then mounts the share on the Oracle server where the restore is to be performed. In the case of Oracle RAC, the restore is performed on all nodes in the cluster.
