When Amanda is licensed and configured for Windows Oracle backup, Amanda uses Oracle's RMAN and VSS writer to back up Oracle data files, control files, and archive logs.
These instructions assume you have already installed and licensed the Amanda server and the Windows client that hosts the Oracle server being backed up. There are a number of additional requirements:
Create a dedicated backup set for each Windows Oracle server you intend to back up. On the Backup What page you are prompted to select what type of object you want to back up. Choose Windows Oracle, and the following options are displayed:
After you have set the options, click Add to Table to add the Windows Oracle object to the backup set. Click Publish to commit the changes; you can then configure the backup set just as you would any other by setting the options on Backup Where, Backup How, and Backup When, etc.
