Ok, guys & gals, I'm looking for suggestions for the following challenge.
I'm very familiar with RMAN fulls w/ incrementals writing either to disk or
directly to tape. What I'm NOT familiar with is other options that I may
not know of and that's where I need your help.
Objective:
Nightly backups of 5 TB Data Warehouse that is currently being snapshotted
weekly at the SAN Layer instead of tape or disk based backups.
Hardware/OS:
IBM XIV Storage (not sure of model #)
RedHat Linux OS (5.x)
Oracle 11.2.0.4
Netbackup is tape solution
Method Options:
1. RMAN Fulls on Weekend, (either to disk or direct to tape) with nightly
incrementals. I'm leaning toward disk based backups which are then written
to tape and using parallel threads for the disk based backup to prevent
overwhelming our tape library
2. Other options?
Chris
