Preparing the system for RMAN backups and restores

Before you use RMAN scripts to back up and restore Oracle data, you must prepare the system. This preparation includes creating an avtar flag file, defining backup channels, and specifying library path settings.

Prerequisites

All RMAN backup and restore scripts in this chapter require an avtar flag file. When you use RMAN to back up or restore Oracle data, you must pass specific avtar options by using the send command. You include these avtar options in the avtar flag file, which is a text file.

With Avamar version 7.3 and greater, information about command line backups and restores for Oracle appears in the Avamar Administrator activity window in the same way as when these operations are started within the Administrator. This step requires some modifications in the avtar flag file, and creation of a taskflag file.
