Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN) is a backup and recovery tool which is supplied by Oracle with all current Oracle database versions. It provides capabilities to backup, restore and recover Oracle databases. As it is part of the database, many Oracle database administrators are very familiar with the tool and how to use it.
Hitachi Ops Center Protector integrates with Oracle RMAN using the SBT interface, which allows the database administrator to store data in datastores manged by Protector. The integration leverages Protectors Unified Backup Infrastructure (see Hitachi Ops Center User's Guide) to enable the RMAN backup to both on-site and cloud targets in a flexible and efficient way.
Ops Center Protector’s RMAN SBT integration allows backups and restores of any data supported by Oracle RMAN for SBT targets. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Oracle databases (full / incremental)
- Transaction logs
- Special files (e.g. control files)
