NSR-ORA and NetApp

If the save set NDMP is backed up, NSR-ORA saves the database in the 
current state (online or offline). This corresponds to save set 
${ORACLE_SID}_full_save

).

Save set NDMP_OFFLINE causes NSR-ORA always to switch the 
database offline, before it is saved. After the backup NSR-ORA restarts 
the database, if it has been online during the start of the backup. 
Otherwise the database stays offline.

   If OFFLINE backup has been selected during configure_nsrora, you 

may select any daily backup as OFFLINE backup. To achieve this 
it is necessary to modify the configuration as follows:

To perform an OFFLINE backup on Sunday, the parameters 
should be set as follows:

–

While configuring the NDMP client select the 
NDMP_without_sunday

 schedule instead of the daily schedule. 

Using this schedule there will be a full level backup every day 
except Sunday. Additional the sunday schedule has to be 
created and assigned to the NDMP_OFFLINE client.

–

The NDMP_OFFLINE client has to be assigned to the 
<ORACLE_SID>_NDMP

 group.

If an OFFLINE backup was not selected during configure_nsrora 
NetWorker assigns the daily schedule to the NDMP client and the 
client with save set NDMP_OFFLINE is assigned to the 
<ORACLE_SID>_NDMP_OFFLINE

 group. Nevertheless, this 

group is not set to enabled.

●

 attribute

All NetWorker clients that perform database backups (save set NDMP...) 
must not modify this value (i.e. leave this attribute set to “No”!).

●

 attribute

To perform snapshot and tape backups on a given save set, the client’s 
membership to the relevant groups must be assigned to this attribute. 
The number of groups depends on your own requirements. 

●

 attribute

As the type of snapshot backup is determined by the Level group attribute 
the “daily” schedule can be used (one level “full” backup every day) for 
tape backups.
