Hi Charlotte,
The answer to your question is very simple: test. If you can clone a VM
and restore the database on it to a consistent state, you're in good
shape. If not, you will need to backup the VM as a physical box, which
means installing NB agent and writing the script to backup your
database. If latter is the case, may the force be with you. With NB,
that is a lot of work.
Regards

Hello All,
I've been handed an Oracle environment using technologies that I'm unfamiliar with and am looking for guidance on first steps. These are Oracle 11g/12c databases running on Linux VMs in Hyper-V.
The Hyper-V VMs are backed up using NetBackup which appears to use a temporary Snapshot (Checkpoint) of the entire VM followed by a backup of this snapshot.
