Title
Oracle backups are using an extra tape. -
Description
Date - 02/2008
Affected Product & Version - NetVault: Backup 8.0
Affected Module & Version - Oracle APM (Version 5)
OS Version - Linux, Windows 2000/2003
Application Information - Oracle 10.0.2.x
Description:
When Oracle is not using a Recovery Catalog, it stores the information about backups in the control file. With control file autobackup enabled, this will cause the control file to be backed up several times during the course of an Oracle backup. If there is a second drive available, it will load a second tape into that drive, and do the control file backup to a second tape.
Symptoms:
Oracle RMAN backups are using too many tapes.
