(27) What Is Oracle Secure Backup? Centralized tape backup management software: – Managing data protection for diverse, distributed servers and tape devices – Client/server architecture for backing up and restoring data locally or over the LAN, WAN, or SAN. •. Oracle Secure Backup features: – Tape backup management for entire Oracle environment, including file systems and the Oracle database – Policy-based backup management – Secure data protection and interdomain communication – Effective media and device management – Broad tape device and platform support. Copyright © 2009, Oracle. All rights reserved.. What Is Oracle Secure Backup? Oracle Secure Backup is centralized tape management software. It enables reliable data protection to tape, and supports the major tape drives and libraries in SAN, Gigabit Ethernet (GbE), and SCSI environments. Oracle Secure Backup enables you to do the following: • Back up and restore data using a variety of machine architectures. • Access local and remote file systems and devices from any location in a network without using Network File System (NFS) or Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocols. • Back up to and restore from Oracle Cluster File System (OCFS) on Linux and Windows • Use wildcards and exclusion lists to specify what you want to back up. • Control secondary storage-based data recording format and compression. • Duplex database backups (back up the same files to multiple devices). Each data stream automatically goes to a separate device. • Perform full, incremental, or differential backups. • Maintain security and limit the users who are authorized to perform data management operations. • Support most popular tape drives and libraries..

Tape Copyright © 2009, Oracle. All rights reserved.. Oracle Secure Backup Tape Backup Management Business background: The increased demands on the enterprise backup infrastructure require more rigorous service-level agreements for backup windows and restoration time, while achieving reliable data protection within budget. The tape technology meets this challenge by offering high-speed devices and high-capacity media with a throughput similar to that of a disk (generally, at a high cost). Oracle Secure Backup addresses this issue by providing centralized tape backup management for the Oracle database and file systems in mixed, diverse environments, thus reducing the cost and complexity of tape backup and restoration. The graphic shows that Oracle databases are integrated via RMAN with Oracle Secure Backup (OSB) and that UNIX, Linux, Windows and Network Attached Storage (NAS) directly use OSB..

Oracle Secure Backup Centralized tape backup management Tape library. Copyright © 2009, Oracle. All rights reserved.. Tape Management and Integration with Oracle Products Some of the many options available for protecting your Oracle data are backing up solely to disk, backing up to disk as a staging area for tape backups, or backing up directly to tape. Disk backup and restore operations are generally faster than the equivalent tape operations. However, tape backups provide some advantages for long-term backup requirements, such as off-site storage and portability, which allow you to move backups from one data center to another. Oracle Secure Backup provides tape backup management for all your files relating to Oracle products, including: • Oracle database backups stored on tape through integration with Recovery Manager • Seamless support of Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) • Support for Oracle Cluster File System (OCFS) and Automatic Storage Management (ASM) • Central administration of distributed clients and media servers including: - Oracle Application Server - Oracle Collaboration Suite - Oracle home and binaries Note: Oracle Secure Backup has its own release cycle and version numbers; for example, Oracle Secure Backup 10.2 is the correct version for Oracle Database 11g (Release 1)..

(30) The Integration Advantage Key benefits of RMAN and Oracle Secure Backup integration: – Exclusive support of RMAN backup encryption to tape – Faster, more reliable database backups to tape – Single technical support resource, expediting problem resolution. •. Enterprise Manager integration exclusive to OSB – Familiar interface for Oracle customers, reducing any learning curves associated with other products – Management of the entire Oracle database backup and recovery from disk (Flash Recovery Area) to tape. •. Advanced, effective security based on proven Oracle technology Copyright © 2009, Oracle. All rights reserved.. The Integration Advantage This slide summarizes key benefits of RMAN and Oracle Secure Backup integration over other third-party media management libraries.

Client/Server Architecture Host Roles To configure Oracle Secure Backup, you must define an administrative domain. An administrative domain is a group of machines on your network that you manage as a common unit to perform backup and restore operations. An administrative domain has one administrative server, one or more clients, and one or more media servers. • The administrative server is a machine in your administrative domain that contains a full installation of the Oracle Secure Backup software. This host maintains the backup catalog files and other files for configuration settings and administrative data. The administrative server runs the scheduler, which starts and monitors jobs within the administrative domain. You need one administrative server for each administrative domain at your site. To configure an administrative server, choose an administrative server installation when installing Oracle Secure Backup on the host. • A media server is a machine that has one or more secondary storage devices, such as a tape library, connected to it. A media server transfers data to and from its attached storage devices. During installation, you can configure multiple secondary storage devices on media servers. • A client is a machine whose locally accessed data is backed up by Oracle Secure Backup. Most of the machines defined within the administrative domain are clients.. Oracle Database 11g: Oracle Secure Backup 1 - 7. Oracle University and (Oracle Corporation) use only..

Oracle Secure Backup Architecture The Oracle Secure Backup Architecture includes: • Oracle Secure Backup catalog, a directory structure with host-specific subdirectories. This means the contents vary depending on the roles you assign to the host. An administrative server has the central catalog with configuration and metadata. • Daemons (or services), which are processes, that run in the background and perform OSB operations on behalf of an application Some daemons run continually; others run only to perform specific work and then exit when the work is completed. The Oracle Secure Backup daemons actively participate in managing backup and restore operations: • obscheduled daemon: This daemon initiates scheduled events and manages jobs. • observiced daemon: On the administrative server, this daemon runs jobs (such as backup and restore operations) at the request of the obscheduled daemon. • Apache Web server daemon (obhttpd): This daemon provides the Web tool GUI for Oracle Secure Backup..

Oracle Secure Backup Administrative Domain. Tape Library. Copyright © 2009, Oracle. All rights reserved.. Oracle Secure Backup for Centralized Tape Backup Management The Oracle Secure Backup software offers centralized backup management of heterogeneous clients and servers by storing the backup and configuration data in a central repository called the Oracle Secure Backup administrative server. The administrative server contains a consolidated backup catalog, providing a single location for managing backup policies, scheduling backups for multiple platforms, and managing local and remote tape devices. The configured machines and devices managed by an administrative server make up the Oracle Secure Backup administrative domain, as shown in the slide. The Oracle Secure Backup tape management system minimizes the complexity of managing diverse architectures by offering: • Flexible tape device configuration with options for single- and multihosted tape libraries • Support for major tape libraries and tape drives in GbE and SCSI environments • Client/server architecture providing centralized administration of distributed media servers over a local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN).

SHARING THE FILE IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED.. Oracle Secure Backup for Centralized Tape Backup Management (continued) The Storage Cloud enables users to take advantage of the virtually unlimited pool of computing resources and storage over the Internet (the Cloud). Unlike the traditional IT setup, users have little insight or control over the underlying infrastructure. Their interaction with the Cloud is primarily governed through an abstracted interface provided by the Cloud vendor. The Cloud is essentially disk storage. With the Oracle Secure Backup Cloud module, it is possible to send the local disk backups of the Oracle database directly to a storage cloud for off-site storage purposes. Amazon S3 is the first Cloud vendor that Oracle has partnered with, to enable database backup in the Cloud. This functionality may be extended to more Cloud platforms or vendors in the future. Backup and recovery from the Cloud is performed by RMAN. OSB 10.2 cannot back up to disk. So, OSB 10.2 does not have an explicit integration with the Cloud. RMAN backup encryption and advanced compression technologies may be used for Cloud backup strategies..

Oracle Database. Tape devices. Copyright © 2009, Oracle. All rights reserved.. Typical SAN Environment Oracle Secure Backup supports Storage Area Network (SAN) environments. The slide depicts a typical SAN environment where one or more servers are attached to the SAN along with one or more tape devices. Each of the tape devices attached to the SAN appears local to the servers using SAN. Clients within the administrative domain are backed up over the network to the tape devices on the configured media servers. Oracle Secure Backup automatically manages resource contention for tape drives within the SAN. During a backup or restore operation, a server engages a tape drive, thereby making it temporarily unavailable to other servers. When the operation completes, the tape drive is again available for use by any of the servers using SAN, as permitted by your configuration. When configuring tape devices, you are asked to configure attachments, where each attachment describes a data path between the host and the device itself. A device must have at least one attachment. In a SAN environment, a tape device may have multiple attachments, one for each host that can access the device. The Fibre fabric and switches within the SAN are transparent to Oracle Secure Backup. Therefore, SAN interoperability becomes important at the hardware level. When configuring a SAN, it is recommended to confirm that the hardware components have been tested and certified to work together. Oracle Database 11g: Oracle Secure Backup 1 - 11.

Oracle Secure Backup Interface Options As shown in the slide, you can access Oracle Secure Backup in four different ways depending on what you want to do: • Enterprise Manager provides a graphical interface to Oracle Secure Backup for users who elect to perform database backup and restore operations through integration with RMAN. You can also perform administrative tasks such as managing media and devices within the Oracle Secure Backup administrative domain. The Enterprise Manager console includes a link to the Oracle Secure Backup Web tool for performing file-system backup and restore operations. • Use RMAN to back up your databases directly to tape. RMAN can be accessed either through the RMAN executable or through EM. RMAN communicates with Oracle Secure Backup through the system backup to tape (SBT) interface. • The Web tool is a GUI application that enables you to configure administrative domains, manage operations, browse the backup catalog, and back up and restore data. It provides a graphical and interactive interface to access the obtool utility. You should use this interface when making backups of file-system data. • The obtool utility provides a command-line interface to Oracle Secure Backup.

Set of tapes containing backup images Set of volumes with common characteristics. Copyright © 2009, Oracle. All rights reserved.. Media Concepts: Overview Oracle Secure Backup organizes the backups it creates in a simple hierarchy, which comprises the following logical concepts: • A “backup image” is the product of a backup operation. A backup image is a file that consists of one or more backup sections. A backup image can be contained within a single volume or it can span multiple volumes. The part of a backup image that fits on a single volume is called a “backup section.” • A “volume” is a single unit of media such as an LTO-3 tape. It can store many backup images. • A “volume set” is a group of one or more volumes that contain a complete backup image. • A “media family” is a named classification of volumes that share some common attributes, such as the volume naming method, the policies used for writing data to volumes, and the length of time volumes are retained in the media family. When you back up files using Oracle Secure Backup, you generate a volume set that has some common characteristics defined by the media family that you have associated with your backup operation..

Backup Pieces and Backup Images The backup of an Oracle database, created by RMAN, results in a backup set (an RMANspecific logical structure), which contains at least one backup piece (an RMAN-specific physical file containing the backed up data). Oracle Secure Backup backs up and maintains backup metadata for each RMAN backup piece written to tape within its own catalog. You can browse backup pieces with the obtool commandline or Oracle Secure Backup Web tool. Note: Use RMAN for the management of RMAN backup pieces. If you manage the backup pieces stored on tape by using Oracle Secure Backup utilities instead of RMAN, the Oracle Secure Backup catalog and the RMAN repository can become unsynchronized. The best practice is for backup pieces to be updated through RMAN, not manually by the use of Oracle Secure Backup.. Oracle Database 11g: Oracle Secure Backup 1 - 14.

Used to classify and characterize backup types Commonly associated with backup levels, which generally correspond to retention times, such as: – Full – Incremental – Archive log. Copyright © 2009, Oracle. All rights reserved.. Oracle Secure Backup Media Family Media families provide a way to establish write periods and retention policies for data backed up to various kinds of tapes. You can, for example, establish a media family for all of your backups that remain on-site, a separate media family for your backups that are to be stored off-site. A media family is a classification of backup media that share the same: • Volume identification sequence: The volume ID consists of a fixed portion, followed by a sequence number assigned and updated by Oracle Secure Backup. When you create a media family, you specify how to generate volume IDs that become part of the volume label. • Write window: The beginning of the write window is the time at which Oracle Secure Backup first writes to a volume in the volume set. The write window is a user-specified time interval that applies to all volumes in the set. Oracle Secure Backup continues to append backups to the volume set until the end of this interval. When the write window closes, Oracle Secure Backup does not allow further updates to the volume set until it expires or is relabeled, reused, unlabeled, or overwritten. • Expiration policy: When a volume set expires, Oracle Secure Backup automatically considers each volume in the set eligible to be overwritten. A media family is either content managed (default) or time managed. These two policies are mutually exclusive.. Oracle Database 11g: Oracle Secure Backup 1 - 16.

Tape Drives and Libraries Oracle Secure Backup maintains information about secondary storage devices, tape libraries, and tape drives, so they can be used for local and network backup and restore operations. These devices are easily configured during the installation process, or a new device can be easily added to an existing Oracle Secure Backup environment. Each tape drive and tape library is uniquely identified within an Oracle Secure Backup administrative domain by a user-defined name (for example, mainlib and maintd1). Because Oracle Secure Backup manages tape drive operations, it must explicitly be able to identify the tape drive as well as understand if the tape drive is housed within a tape library. Oracle Secure Backup must further determine which tape slots (storage elements) are available for storing tapes when they are not loaded in a tape drive. Before you can use tape drives or tape libraries with Oracle Secure Backup, you must add the device to the administrative domain. Oracle Secure Backup maintains a distinction between a device and the means by which the device is connected to a host. Each device you configure can have one or more attachments, where each attachment describes a data path between a host and the device itself. Most often, an attachment includes the identity of a host plus a UNIX device special file name, a Windows device name, or NAS device name. In rare cases, additional information is needed to complete the attachment definition.. Oracle Database 11g: Oracle Secure Backup 1 - 17. Oracle University and (Oracle Corporation) use only..

Because VTLs identify themselves as tape equipment, for the backup software, they appear identical to the actual tape device that is emulated. VTLs offer the performance advantages of disk backup and they may be seamlessly deployed in a system environment, without changing the backup infrastructure. Note: In this class (where physical tape devices are not available), you use virtual test devices to practice Oracle Secure Backup operations.

Managing Data to Be Protected Managing the backup infrastructure of file-system data and Oracle database data is easily administered with Oracle Secure Backup and RMAN. Defining what data to back up is conceptually similar for file-system and database data. Both require that you, the user, define what to include in the backup. For the database, you use the RMAN backups sets created using RMAN or Enterprise Manager. For file systems, Oracle Secure Backup uses “datasets.” Use the Oracle Secure Backup Web tool to define file-system datasets. After defining what data to back up, you must determine what type of backup is most appropriate to meet your backup and restore requirements. Oracle Secure Backup offers multiple backup levels for file-system backups including full backup levels, multiple incremental levels, and an off-site backup level. The off-site level is actually a full backup performed without interfering with any incremental backup strategies. Oracle Secure Backup also provides flexible scheduling options that enable you to determine ongoing backup schedules based on the day and time granularity. For the Oracle database, RMAN offers full and incremental backup levels that are backed up to tape by Oracle Secure Backup. After you have defined what, how, and how often to back up your data through scheduling, Oracle Secure Backup can automatically implement your backup schedules, only requiring manual intervention for hardware errors or media needs..

(50) Why Use Oracle Secure Backup? Intelligent integration with RMAN delivering the best performance and security for database backups – Backup encryption performed with Oracle database – Faster, smaller backups protecting only used blocks. •. Scalable, low-cost per-tape drive pricing – Substantial cost savings over the competition – Unlimited clients, servers, and NAS. • •. Single technical support resource for entire backup solution expedites problem resolution Reliable, centralized backup management for entire Oracle environment. Copyright © 2009, Oracle. All rights reserved.. Why Use Oracle Secure Backup? • Since Oracle 8.0, RMAN is the recommended backup utility for the Oracle database. It is known for reliable, automated, online protection of data to disk, and is integrated with numerous third-party media management products for backups to tape. Oracle Secure Backup provides an alternative to expensive, third-party tape backup utilities by providing the media management layer for RMAN tape utilization. • Oracle Secure Backup increases customer return on investment by providing end-to-end tape data protection for your Oracle environment at a fraction of the cost of other tape products. • Oracle Secure Backup exclusively provides RMAN encrypted backup to tape. • To deliver the fastest database tape backup, Oracle Secure Backup backs up only used blocks (from Oracle Database 10.2.0.2 and later). This process makes the backups faster and smaller, which also saves space on tape. • Oracle Secure Backup (as part of the Oracle technology stack) offers a single-vendor technical resource for complete Oracle database protection.

Copyright © 2009, Oracle. All rights reserved.. Performing Preinstallation Tasks There is no required sequence between the preinstallation tasks. Check the supported device list on OTN to confirm that your environment is supported: • Platform support by host role • Tape library and tape drive support • Connectivity support Each host that participates in an Oracle Secure Backup administrative domain must have a network connection and run TCP/IP. Oracle Secure Backup uses this protocol for all inter- and intra-server communication between its own and other system components. Each appliance that employs a closed operating system, such as Network Attached Storage (NAS) and tape servers, is backed up using NDMP. This protocol enables Oracle Secure Backup to access primary and secondary storage controlled by the appliance. Each host that participates in an Oracle Secure Backup administrative domain must also have some preconfigured way to resolve a host name to an IP address. Most systems use one of the name resolution mechanisms: Domain Name Service (DNS), Network Information Service (NIS), Windows Internet Name Service (WINS), or a local hosts file to do this. Oracle Secure Backup does not require a specific mechanism. Oracle Secure Backup requires only that, upon presenting the underlying system software with an IP address you have configured, it obtains an IP address corresponding to that name.

Installation and Configuration of the Administrative Domain The installation and configuration of your administrative domain includes the following: • Install the Oracle Secure Backup software itself on each of your hosts except NDMP-enabled hosts such as NAS filers. • Define your administrative domain on the administrative server. This step involves defining all media servers, clients, and NAS filers. • When installing a media server, Oracle Secure Backup device attachments are created as part of the device driver installation process. These attachments are used during the device definition. Make the administrative server aware of the tape devices that exist in your administrative domain. On each defined media servers, you configure the directly attached SCSI and Fibre Channel devices (tape libraries and tape drives). If you use a NAS filer with attached tape libraries and tape drives, you can use Oracle Secure Backup commands to discover these devices; this allows Oracle Secure Backup to recognize and communicate with the NASattached devices..

Performing Installation Tasks The recommended directory for installing the Oracle Secure Backup software is /usr/local/oracle/backup. You can install the software in a different directory, if desired. However, then the printed and online documentation for Oracle Secure Backup may not agree with your actual commands, output, and GUI screens. For users new to Oracle Secure Backup, this can add an unwanted layer of confusion. In this course, you use the default directory /usr/local/oracle/backup as OSB_Home. Note: There is no default “OSB_Home” environment variable, which is used to refer to this directory, unlike the ORACLE_HOME variable used with Oracle Database installations. After your OSB_Home directory is created, change your current directory to the OSB_Home directory, and execute the setup program from your staging area, which in this example is the /stage/osb_installmedia directory. If you use your CD-ROM drive as your staging area, use a command similar to /cdrom/cdrom0/setup. In the slide example, a stage directory is used instead of a CD-ROM drive..
