Creating Backup Specifications - HP Data Protector A.06.11 Integration Manual

This allows you to apply all the options to a backup specification with a few mouse
clicks, rather than having to specify all the options over and over again. This task is
optional, as you can use one of the default templates as well.
If you prefer using predefined templates, see
specifications" on page 58 for a detailed explanation.
To create a new backup template, proceed as follows:
1. In the Data Protector Manager, switch to the Backup context.
2. In the Scoping Pane, expand Backup and then Templates, and then right-click
Oracle Server.
3. Click Add Template. Follow the wizard to define the appropriate backup options
in your template.

Cluster-aware clients
Before you perform an offline backup in a cluster environment, take the Oracle
Database resource offline and bring it back online after the backup. This can be
done using the Oracle fscmd command line interface commands in the Pre-exec
and Post-exec commands for the client system in a particular backup specification,
or by using the Cluster Administrator.
To create an Oracle backup specification:
1. In the Context List, click Backup.
2. In the Scoping Pane, expand Backup Specifications, right-click Oracle Server,
and click Add Backup.
