+21B. Install Veeam Plug-in For Oracle RMAN on the Oracle server
+6I think that it is “Option A”. I dont remember to see this option in the RMAN Plugin.
“If you use Veeam Backup & Replication or Veeam Agents to create image-level backups of the Oracle server, you can schedule the backup job and run Oracle RMAN backup scripts along with the backup job
| Note |
| If you want to use Oracle RMAN scripts within backup jobs of Veeam Backup & Replication or Veeam Agents, consider the following” |
+20And the answer to the VTT question of the week…
The whole point of this question is to backup/protect the Oracle DBAs with Veeam when/where possible. But this question wants the Oracle DB to remain mainly “in control” of doing so. That being said… a. is an option since you can run pre/post job and pre/post thaw scripts with the Agent, but there are limitations for this (i.e. Agent Server mode, for one). As such this isn’t the correct answer; b. is the correct answer as this is exactly what the plugin is meant for → allow Oracle DBAs to control backups via RMAN scripts; c. this is simply an inaccurate statement based on what the Oracle RMAN Plugin is used for; and d. is incorrect because though you could do this, again this isn’t a viable method to perform Oracle DB backups; and, assuming they are retained locally to the server, are they really backups? (no )
