You would want to use the nmo instead of directly to tape.   Legato and oracle work well together to keep track of what is backed up and what tape it's on, etc;.   Recovery time is when this will be the most appreciated.

[Networker] Backup of Oracle using rman  - interface to  Networker / interface for tape devices ?





 
Hello dear fellow networkers,

at the moment we backup our oracle databases, located on Solaris machines, with a special module called "nsrora", which is supplied by FSC. This module saves the whole amount of space which is reserved, so if the DB is 150 GB, it saves 150 GB, even if the amount of the real data in the tablespaces is just 2 GB.

We would like to use rman instead of nsrora. Is is true that for using rman together with networker we would need another module called "nmo" ?

At the moment we consider to get rman writing backups to a file in the filesystem and then save that file with networker. A restore would imply recovering that file to the filesystem and then restore parts of the oracle database or the full database with rman.

What is the benefit of the nmo?

Is there a way to get rman writing directly to tape without the nmo?
