All,
I am running a multi-node RAC Oracle 10.2.0.3 on Windows64. I am using
Incremental Merge Backups to the FRA and my database is on ASM. I use RMAN and
Windows .cmd files to run my backups to disk (FRA) first and then to tape via
Symantec(Veritas) Netbackup.
My backups work great and RMAN's log shows all the activity correctly. My
problem is trying to get information about the files that have been backed up
via Netbackup.
I want to be able to see a SPECIFIC databases backups for a given date range or
date.
I have opened a ticket with Symantec and to-date have had no luck. I was also
told by Symantec that due to the architecture of my solution that I cannot
"view" and of the database backups via thier GUI be it the NBU Console or BAR.
I was told to use the BPLIST command from the command line as follows:
bplist -C hostname -t 4 -l -R / - Displays all files from the last 6 months
bplist -C hostname -t 4 -l -s 03/10/2008 -e 03/12/2008 -R / -Displays a
specific date range
These work fine, but it gives me output for ALL the backups on that day for
EVERY database. I want to use a keyword or policy based search. Both are in the
command line guide from the vendor, but neither work. The command that SHOULD
work looks like this:
bplist -C hostname -t 4 -l -s 03/10/2008 -e 03/12/2008 -keyword
MY_ORACLE_BACKUP -R /
OR...
bplist -C hostname -t 4 -l -s 03/10/2008 -e 03/12/2008 -k MY_ORACLE_BACKUP -R
/
Any ideas how to see the files that have been backed up using the bplist or
other commands?
What commands do most people use for this? Am I stuck with RMAN and the list
and report commands?
Thanks in advance.
Frank
