Hi all,
Windows 2008 R2 running SAP / Oracle
I'm having an issue with backing up d:\oracle\%oracle_sid%\11203\bin\oracle.exe (and other exe's). I've done some digging and found that running diskshadow list writers command shows that this folder , for whatever reason, is included to be backed up as part of the systemstate.
File List: Path = d:\oracle\qa2\11203\bin, Filespec = oracle.exe
other folders such as d:\usr are also in this list.
Yet, I restore systemstate sucesfully and the files are still not restored. there! I've tried using the filesnottosnapshot method, but, this won't work.
Netbackup's solution from here: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH124654 says to backup using \\hostname\d$ but, i have one policy for all SAP clients. I would have to create multiple policies in order to specify the hostname of each client (unless there is a better way).Also, this technote mentions that files which are opened, are not backed up. oracle.exe is constantly opened.
Has anyone found a better workaround to this issue?
