Considerations and Limitations

This section lists considerations and known limitations of Veeam Explorer for Oracle.

General

• When Veeam Explorer for Oracle is installed on a server on which both Veeam Backup & Replication and Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 are installed, the notification settings will be inherited from the Veeam Backup and Replication Global Notification settings.

Restore

• Veeam Explorer for Oracle does not support restore via PSDirect, VIX or Sphere API.
• 1-Click restore to the original location from storage snapshots is not supported.
• A point in time restore is not supported for replicas and backups stored in the DR site by backup copy jobs, nor it is supported for backups stored in a cloud repository. Such repositories cannot be used as a destination location for archived logs.
• Restore of databases from the current restore point is only supported for backups created by Veeam backup job, replication job, VeeamZIP and for imported backup and storage snapshots.
• If OS authentication on a target Oracle server is disabled, the restore of databases with enabled ASM will not be possible.
• If OS authentication on a staging Oracle server is disabled, the restore of databases with enabled ASM as of the selected transaction state will not be possible.
• Make sure that both the backed up Oracle machine and the target server to which you are restoring have the same OS patch version.
