The Symantec Backup Exec Agent for Oracle on Windows or Linux Servers (Oracle Agent) uses Oracle’s Recovery Manager (RMAN) to protect Oracle databases. RMAN is a tool that manages the backup and restore and recovery of Oracle databases.
The following features are available with the Oracle Agent:
-
The ability to initiate backup and restore operations from Backup Exec or from the RMAN console as a Database Administrator (DBA).
Operations that the DBA performs on the RMAN console are referred to as DBA-initiated operations. You should refer to your Oracle documentation for information about RMAN.
-
Multiple data stream support for increased performance during backup and restore operations.
-
RMAN recovery catalog support to manage the backup, restore, and recovery of Oracle databases.
