To configure backup and restore settings, use the Veeam Plug-in for Oracle RMAN configuration wizard. The wizard configures Oracle RMAN settings and creates the veeam_config.xml file which is stored in the Veeam/VeeamPluginforOracleRMAN folder.
If you change the plug-in configuration with the Veeam Plug-in for Oracle RMAN wizard, changes will be recorded in the log file: C:\ProgramData\Veeam\Backup\RmanPluginLogs\RMAN Configuration.log. Note that if you change the veeam_config.xml file manually, it will not be recorded in logs.
To configure Veeam Plug-in, do the following:
- On the Oracle server, click launch the Veeam RMAN Configuration Wizard (C:\Program Files\Veeam\VeeamPluginforOracleRMAN\Veeam.Backup.RMAN.Configuration.exe).
- At the Backup Server step of the wizard, specify the IP address or hostname of the backup server and credentials of an account with the Administrator rights on the Veeam backup server.
Note that the account must have access permissions on the required Veeam backup repository. Otherwise, the repository will not be listed as available. To learn how to grant access rights on Veeam backup repositories, see Granting Access to Repositories.
- At the Backup Repository step of the wizard:
- Click Add and select the required repository. For Oracle Database Standard Edition, you can select only one repository. If you want to use the Oracle RMAN Backup Duplexing functionality, you can select up to four repositories. The copies of backups will be sent to all selected repositories.
- If you want to use another repository, select the repository from the list and click Remove. Then, you can add another repository.
- Click Next.

You can work with backups created by Veeam Plug-in only using the account used for creating the backup. If you want to use another account, assign the following roles to the required account:
To learn how to assign Veeam Backup & Replication roles, see the Roles and Users section of the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide. |
- At the Summary step of the wizard, you can export the plug-in and Oracle RMAN configuration files. You can use the configuration files to apply the plug-in settings on other servers.
- To export the veeam_config.xml file click Export and select Veeam Config.
- Click Finish.
