As data volumes continue to expand, backing up the most business critical databases – such as Oracle – routinely introduce errors, blind spots, inefficiencies, and potential compliance and security breaches.
Commonly used database backup procedures – such as the popular 'dump and sweep' method present several problems – including:
- A sustained and heavy load on the database during backup that impacts service and performance
- A disconnect between the Database Admin (DBA) and Backup Admin, in terms of policy administration and transparency
- Inefficient use of expensive, high-performance storage resources.
Netbackup Copilot for Oracle from Veritas solves all of these challenges for both Oracle and Veritas customers – providing a pre-configured appliance that ensures complete control, transparency, efficiency and compliance for any Oracle database backup.
