Hello everyone,
We’ve a huge Oracle DB on 3 clustered servers which is backed-up using EMC NetWorker but we’re planning to switch to Veeam.
Any ideas on this plan? What to do before starting? What to consider while switching? Leave NetWorker running with Veeam for a while?
Thanks,

Would recommend leaving Networker running and checking this out for Oracle. https://www.veeam.com/blog/how-to-backup-oracle-database-best-practices.html

Leave Networker running until the retention of your backups are reached.
For setting up Oracle backups with Veeam follow the link Chris has posted.
You have the choice between Application aware backup for Oracle or the RMAN plugin to utilize native RMAN procedures.

Which option do you suggest? go on with the Application aware or the RMAN plugin.
Currently, the NetWorker backup the Oracle with a RMAN script.

If the responsibility for the DB backups and restores is by the DBAs, use the RMAN plugin. If the responsibility is by the backup team, use application aware backup.
And don't forget to backup the whole server/VM with the DB application….

Perfect. That’s the answer I’m looking for.
Thank you.
