    RMAN and Veritas Backup Exec

    I have found several technotes for configuring RMAN with Veritas "NetBackup" though I cannot find anything regarding RMAN configuration for Veritas "Backup Exec".

    Can anyone tell me if this is possible? If so, - how?

    Thanks in advance,

    Re: RMAN and Veritas Backup Exec

    HI,
    RMAN does not integrate with VERITAS BackupExec.RMAN only integrates with veritas NetBackup.In order to integrate RMAN with NetBackup please look at various documents found in Metalink.

    Why use RMAN at all.. You can configure veritas directly to satisfy all your backup/restore/refresh needs. RMAN is slow, cumbersome.. we are maintaining backups of 660 Gig production database using veritas entirely bypassing RMAN.

    I am not sure why you say RMAN is slow, I remmeber some peeps from Oracle support assigned in the project I was saying RMAN is slow and it ended up is because they dont know how to configure RMAN

    After we switched a 1TB DWH backup to RMAN instead of taking around 12 hours it took 4 ~ 5 hours

    Question

    How do you bypass RMAN and take a hot backup through Veritas only.
    When we select backup type Oracle in veritas it uses RMAN scripts only to perform the backup.

    I'm definitely not learned on this subject but from the marketing material (if I understand it correctly) there is something called Block Level Incremental (BLI).

    I do not understand how when a commit happens and gets written to the redo files on disk, how BLI at that exact moment, captures the delta in the redo disk file and preserves it (the block) on the backup media
