RMAN and Data Protection for Oracle

Edit online

Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN) provides consistent and secure backup, restore, and recovery performance for Oracle databases. While the Oracle RMAN initiates a backup or restore, Data Protection for Oracle acts as the interface to the IBM® Storage Protect server . The IBM Storage Protect server then applies administrator-defined storage management policies to the data. Data Protection for Oracle implements the Oracle defined Media Management application programming interface (SBTAPI) 2.0. This SBTAPI communicates with RMAN and translates Oracle commands into IBM Storage Protect API calls to the IBM Storage Protect server.

You can use RMAN Data Protection for Oracle to run backup and restore functions that are listed.
