Target remote VM to which application items are restored, | Veeam Explorer for Oracle | TCP | 3260 - 3270 | Range of ports opened by Veeam Backup & Replication for iSCSI traffic. Ports are open only during application item restore (Veeam Explorer session). |
Staging server is used to fine-tune the restore point in case a user needs to restore database to the state before specific transaction. At the first launch of Veeam Explorer it tries to obtain the staging Oracle server settings using the built-in algorithm. You can specify another staging server, either local (for Windows VMs only) or remote (for both Windows and Linux VMs), as described in the Configuring Staging Server section.
The following requirements apply to staging server:
- A staging server must have the same Oracle database version as the source (original) and target Oracle server.
- If you plan to restore databases with Automatic Storage Management enabled, the staging and target servers should have ASM enabled, too.
- Oracle Database Express Edition cannot be used as a staging system.
