Plug‑in for Oracle provides support for a limited number of Oracle versions in a Data Guard environment. The installation, configuration, backup, and restore procedures differ slightly in a Data Guard environment. This topic offers specifics on how the plug-in operates in a Data Guard environment.
For a complete list of supported Oracle versions and platforms in a Data Guard environment, see the Quest NetVault Backup Compatibility Guide.
Determining a strategy for protecting and recovering a Data Guard environment is essential to deploying and using the plug-in in the Data Guard environment. All strategies are valid for any of the supported deployments as detailed in Deployment.
The simplest strategy is to perform all the backups from the Primary Database Server. You can use these backups to recover the Primary or one of the Standby Database Servers. While this strategy is valid, resource-intensive backup operations affect database performance on the Primary Database Server. With this strategy, the plug-in is installed on the Primary Database Server. Plug‑in for Oracle is only required to be installed on the Standby Database Server when it is targeted for a restore.
