Additional In<strong>for</strong>mation –<br />

The additional in<strong>for</strong>mation on backing up of Oracle database, managing his<strong>to</strong>ry files and running<br />

SLS and ABS/MDMS simultaneously help you <strong>to</strong> manage the backups effectively.<br />

Backing up Oracle Database –<br />

Oracle RDB backups are available in ABS/MDMS as it was in SLS. When a Save request in created,<br />

select the appropriate DATA_SELECT_TYPE <strong>for</strong> the version and the area of RDB that you<br />

want <strong>to</strong> backup. This will au<strong>to</strong>matically create the SELECTION policy. The backup must be<br />

scheduled as any other ABS/MDMS backup. Though not required, it would be a good practice <strong>to</strong><br />

create a CATALOG <strong>for</strong> only these types of backups.<br />

Note<br />

ABS/MDMS can also backup up Oracle 8i and 9i databases. However, this functionality<br />

is not available in SLS. Refer <strong>to</strong> Chapter 9, “<strong>System</strong> <strong>Backup</strong> <strong>to</strong> Tape <strong>for</strong> Oracle<br />

Databases” on how <strong>to</strong> set up the Oracle database.<br />

Managing the SLS data in His<strong>to</strong>ry Files.<br />

Currently there is no functionality <strong>for</strong> reading the SLS his<strong>to</strong>ry files from ABS/MDMS and initiating<br />

a backup. Two scenarios are available <strong>for</strong> recovering pre ABS/MDMS data from SLS:<br />

• Keep an instance of SLS running <strong>for</strong> his<strong>to</strong>ry lookups only. The SLS and ABS licenses will<br />

support this environment. Once in<strong>for</strong>mation is located in SLS, initiate a res<strong>to</strong>re manual<br />

res<strong>to</strong>re command using the <strong>Backup</strong> utility.<br />

• Capture data from SLS volumes and feed data directly in<strong>to</strong> ABS catalogs. This can prove <strong>to</strong><br />

be a large task so it is important <strong>to</strong> consider which backups may need <strong>to</strong> be res<strong>to</strong>red mostly<br />

commonly.<br />

To catalog existing savesets, create a SAVE policy as follows:<br />

– MDMS CREATE SAVE mysaveset_catalog –<br />

– /INCLUDE=yourtape:*-<br />

– /DATA_TYPE=VMS_SAVESET-<br />

– /ARCHIVE=my_archive-<br />

– /ENVIRONMENT=my_environment<br />

– /START=your_start_time<br />

The data from the tape will be written <strong>to</strong> the catalog designated by the ARCHIVE Policy.<br />
