Considerations and Limitations

Before you start using Veeam Plug-In for SAP on Oracle, consider the following:

• You can make incremental backups only with the rman_util parameter. For details, see this SAP article. To learn how to perform an incremental backup, see Incremental Backup.
• Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM) is supported only with the rman_util parameter. If you want to back up Oracle ASM instances, see SAP on Oracle Backup Using RMAN_UTIL.

• You cannot back up Oracle RAC databases using the BRBACKUP tool.
• Volume backup (-d util_vol, util_vol_online) is not supported.
• Backup of directories is not supported.
• Backups created by Veeam Plug-Ins cannot be used as a source for file to tape or backup to tape jobs.
