In this post, we will replicate an RMAN backupsets using RMAN managed replication and DD Boost.
In an earlier post, I showed how it was possible to use Data Domain’s Mtree replication to ensure that your Oracle RMAN backups are safely replicated to a second backup appliance when using Data Domain as an NFS target.
Replicating the RMAN backupset is important to protect databases from failures that might affect a whole data center, such as prolonged power or network failures, or events such as a flood that might destroy infrastructure.
These scenarios are rare but should they occur, having the RMAN backups of our databases available at a second location can be the different between an organization surviving such an event, or not.
