Restore to Another Server

If you want to restore Oracle databases from a Veeam Plug-in backup to another server, follow instructions in the Restoring a Database on a New Host section of Oracle's Database Backup and Recovery User's Guide and mind the peculiarities described below:

Restore from Backup to Another Server
Restore from Backup Copy to Another Server

Restore from Backup to Another Server

After you allocate channels, you must use the SEND command with the srcSrv=originalServerName parameter, where originalServerName is the hostname of the protected server. In case of RAC, use the SCAN name as originalServerName.

Tip

Veeam Plug-in backup job name contains the name of the original server. You can find out what to use as originalServerName if you look at the first part of the Veeam Plug-in backup job name.

Example of a script for restoring Oracle database to another server using the SEND command:

rman target /

RUN {

ALLOCATE AUXILIARY CHANNEL a1 TYPE sbt_tape PARMS "SBT_LIBRARY=/opt/veeam/VeeamPluginforOracleRMAN/libOracleRMANPlugin.so" SEND "srcSrv=ora";

RESTORE DATABASE;

RECOVER DATABASE;

}

EXIT;

Restore from Backup Copy to Another Server

If you want to restore a database from a backup copy to another server, do the following:

On the Oracle server, go to the \Veeam\VeeamPluginforOracleRMAN folder (/opt/veeam/VeeamPluginforOracleRMAN/ for Linux OS).

Open the veeam_config.xml file with a text editor.
Change the <PluginParameters /> line as follows:

For a standalone Oracle Server:

For Oracle RAC:

Important

Mind the following:

Veeam Plug-in for Oracle RMAN must be installed and configured on the target server.
Before you perform any other backup or restore job, revert back the changes in the veeam_config.xml file. The default configuration is: <PluginParameters />

Enable the restore from backup copy option, as described in Restore from Backup Copy.
Perform the restore.
