In this article
Veeam Plug-in functions as an intermediary between Oracle RMAN and Veeam backup repository. After you deploy Veeam Plug-in on an Oracle server, you can perform all backup and restore operations in the Oracle RMAN console. Veeam Plug-in will transfer database backups to Veeam backup repository.
When use Oracle RMAN integrated with Veeam Plug-in, the database backup is performed in the following way:
- After you launch a database backup process in the Oracle RMAN console, RMAN launches Veeam Plug-in services.
- Veeam Plug-in connects to the Veeam Backup & Replication server and creates a backup job (if it hasn't been created earlier).
- Veeam Plug-in starts Veeam Transport Service Agent on the Oracle server and on the Veeam backup repository. Depending on the configured limit of RMAN channels, there will be multiple connections started in parallel.
- Veeam Agent transports data to the repository.
Multiple Repositories Deployment
Veeam Plug-in allows you to add up to 4 backup repositories. The backup process can be run in multiple channels. For each channel Veeam Plug-in creates a separate agent service.
