What is New in Release 3.2
With release V3.2 a number of changes have been made to NSR-ORA, influen-
cing this guide:
NSR-ORA V3.2 does now support Oracle 8.x or 9i
Version 9 of the Oracle database does not include the SVRMGRL command 
any more. So NSR-ORA now uses the command stored in the SQLDBA vari-
able to communicate with the database. However, functionality of NSR-ORA 
has not been changed.
NSR-ORA V3.2 now supports the backup on Network Attached Storage 
filers (NAS filers) by NetworkAppliance
®
 (NetApp). Furthermore NetWorker 
supports backups performed directly onto a NetApp filer by using snapshots 
(for further information see chapter 
The configure_nsrora configuration skript provides some new parameters, 
described in section 
.
The NetWorker V6.0 software provided by Fujitsu Siemens Computers now 
comes with two new algorithms for compression. Using these new compres-
sion modes causes in part a considerable improvement of compression 
rates and simultaneously reduces CPU load. This feature is only supported 
bei Fujitsu Siemens Computers NetWorker for Solaris and LINUX.
