Storage Management for Oracle Administrators

The Oracle RMAN Application Plugin Module (APMTM) for NetVault provides increased application availability via fast, online backup of Oracle databases in both UNIX and WindowsTM NT environments. The APM includes a wide variety of important features such as hot backup, support for multiple databases on a single machine, an easy to use graphical user interface, and support for backup with and without the recovery catalog.

Hot backup: With the NetVault Oracle RMAN APM, user databases remain online and fully accessible during backup operations, assuring zero downtime for users.

Supports multiple databases operating on one machine: The NetVault Oracle RMAN APM displays all available servers. The APM allows backup or restore operations to be applied to any or all available Oracle servers.

Selectable database backup operations: Back up only what is needed with the Oracle RMAN APM. An easy to use, point and click user interface provides precise tuning of the backup and restore sets down to the individual tablespaces control file and archive log files.

Whole database backup: With a single click select to backup all the tablespaces of your Oracle database. As desired you may include in the same backup, the database control file and/or the archive logs.

Recovery Catalog Support: Back up Oracle databases including databases that use an RMAN recovery catalog.

Multiple Backup Modes: The Oracle RMAN APM supports full, incremental, differential and incremental cumulative backups.
