I just googled the documentation online as I didnt have anything to do with set up of dataprotector here and found a few references to the dataprotector agent for oracle in the DP documentation. It is in the "Backup and Restore in HP Service Guard clusters for Linux" so I would think yes Memory serves me right I heard one of the permanament DBA's referring to it when the initial installations were being done Cheers Peter ________________________________ From: LS Cheng [mailto:exriscer@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, 5 July 2007 05:40 AM To: oracle-l Subject: data protector RAC integration Hi Does anyone know if to backup Oracle 10g RAC to tape using HP Data Protector we need a special agent ?
