Switching between Oracle backup methods

You can switch between the Oracle backup methods by reconfiguring the Data
Protector Oracle integration for each database. It is not possible to select the method
during the backup specification creation.
IMPORTANT:
When switching between the Oracle backup set and proxy-copy methods, you must
carefully follow the instructions given bellow to ensure a successful switch between both
methods and to ensure that during a restore or recovery RMAN does not select backup
objects backed up using different methods in one restore session. If such a mixed set is
used, the restore procedure will fail.
To switch between the backup methods:
1. Successfully back up the entire database using the currently selected method.
2. To avoid selecting backup specifications with a backup method different than
the current backup method, you may remove or move all ZDB backup
specifications belonging to the selected database instance. The backup
specifications are located on the Cell Manager in:
Windows: Data_Protector_home\Config\Server\BarLists\Oracle8
UNIX: /etc/opt/omni/server/barlists/oracle8
3. Re-configure the database with the new method selected while creating a new
Oracle ZDB specification.
