Configuring Subclients for SAP Oracle Datafiles and Tablespaces Backups

SAP on Oracle datafiles store the physical data. SAP on Oracle tablespaces contain the logical information (indexing and mapping) for datafiles.

You can create subclients for specific datafiles and tablespaces that frequently change or have a different backup schedule than the entire database.

The following table describes the available backup interfaces.

Interface

Description

util_file

The software locks the Oracle database until the backup completes.

util_vol

The software locks the entire Oracle database until the backup completes.

util_vol_online

The software locks each volume that is being backed up and releases it when the backup completes.
