Oracle Secure Backup: Tape Backup Management

Oracle Databases
Integration with

File System Data UNIX Linux NAS

Highest levels of tape data protection at the lowest cost! Fastest & Best Integrated tape backup for the Oracle Database - Recovery Manager (RMAN) integration

RMAN

Windows

Oracle Secure Backup

Centralized Tape Backup Management

- Enterprise Manager (EM) interface Protects the entire Oracle environment including application products Leverages proven security technology guarding against unauthorized access

Tape

Oracle Secure Backup The Integration Advantage

RMAN integration provides key benefits over other 3rd party media management tools:
Exclusive support of RMAN backup encryption to tape Less tape consumption since only used blocks are backed up Faster, more reliable database backups to tape Single technical support resource expedites problem resolution

EM Dbconsole and Grid integration exclusive to Oracle Secure Backup

Provides a familiar interface for Oracle customers reducing any learning curves associated with other products Manage entire Oracle database backup and recovery from disk (Flash Recovery Area) to tape using EM Secure Socket Layer (SSL) implementation Embedded Oracle wallets

Advanced security leveraging Oracles proven technology

Database Backups: Oracle Integrated Solution

Pricing Advantage
Increased ROI for Oracle Customers
Oracle Secure Backup is reliable and low-cost delivering the best value to Oracle customers
Per tape drive pricing provides a simple, single-component licensing model Protect unlimited servers utilizing all advanced functionality inclusive in the per tape drive licensing No licensing fees for Virtual Tape Libraries (VTL) Low-cost licensing translates to ongoing savings for associated annual costs Annual maintenance and upgrade fees are a percentage of the licensing cost Available with Oracle database provides protection for one database server to one tape drive Upgrade easily to full Oracle Secure Backup edition No software changes necessary, just licensing purchase

Free, limited use version, Oracle Secure Backup Express

Oracle Secure Backup Overview

Centralized tape backup management software
Manages data protection for mixed-platform, distributed servers and tape devices from a single point of administration Client / Server architecture Backup and restore locally or over the LAN / WAN

Maximum security for data and inter-host communication Scalable data protection from basic to more advanced requirements
Full, incremental, and differential backups Policy based backup management Dynamic drive sharing

Broad tape device and platform support

Supports SAN, GbE and SCSI environments

Centralized Backup Management: Example Administrative Domain

NAS UNIX / Linux Windows
Client machines backed up over the network

Oracle Secure Backup

Heterogeneous data protection
UNIX (Solaris64) Linux32 (Red Hat, SuSE) Windows (2000, XP, 2003) NAS (Network Appliance and Mirapoint) Oracle Database may reside on any machine within the Administrative Domain

Administrative Management Enterprise Manager

Drill-down for details

Manage distributed tape devices, media and servers using EM Grid Control

Guarding Access and Data

Server Authentication
Proven User-level Access Control Security Technology Fine-granularity of control

Two-way ID verification

with users assigned to class of privileges

Encryption
Data and message level

Proven Security Technology

Oracle Secure Backup leverages Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol
Provides two-way authentication for UNIX / Linux / Windows servers within the backup domain Guards inter-domain communication from unauthorized access

Reliable two-way server authentication

Each server has a unique, identifying X.509 certificate digitally signed by the Certificate Authority (CA) The Oracle Secure Backup Administrative Server is the CA issuing and managing security credentials within the domain Embedded Oracle Wallets store the host ID certificates

Secure inter-domain communication

Backup messages and data are encrypted during transport as part of SSL communication

Oracle Database Backups Encrypted to Tape

Oracle Secure Backup leverages RMAN backup encryption technology RMAN backup encryption offers key advantages
Encryption keys are transparently managed by the database Encrypt at the database or tablespace level Encryption algorithms up to 256-bit AES

Maximum security since encryption occurs on the database server guarding against access from other unauthorized backup operators RMAN encrypted backup are securely transported over the network without utilizing SSL

Oracle Secure Backup Intuitive Web Tool

Easy-to-use for file system data protection Instantaneous overview of job and device status On demand view of job transcripts

File System Data Protection

Oracle Secure Backup Web Tool or command line utility, OBTOOL, manage file system protection Two ways to backup data:
On-demand backup Scheduled backups

Multi-level backup options: Full, cumulative or differential incrementals, and offsite levels Restoring needed files is easily accomplished using the Oracle Secure Backup catalog
Tree-style browsing of all backups Multiple query options for fast identification of needed file(s)

Restore files to original location or alternate server

Effective Media and Device Management

Storage classifications, media families, simplify volume management
A media family shares user-defined attributes such as write-window, tape recycling policies based on time or content

Automated tape recycling with two expiration methods

Content-managed volumes optimized for RMAN backups expiration Time-managed volumes associate expiration time with volume not content

Flexible device configuration for optimal resource utilization

Dynamic drive sharing LAN-free backup in SAN or distributed configurations

Support for Popular Devices:

Physical and Virtual Tape Vendors

Answers to FAQ
A single backup may span multiple volumes File system backups may be at the file, directory, file system or raw partition level Oracle Secure Backup is standards compliant writing UNIX / Linux / Windows backups in extended TAR format As with other media management products, Oracle Secure Backup catalog is separate from RMAN catalog Best practice is to not install two tape backup software packages on the same server or share a single tape library unless the library is partitioned avoiding contention between the two products

Certification Information
Initial release of Oracle Secure Backup includes support for Linux, Solaris and Windows
Additional platform support will follow appropriately 2 3 months after initial GA

Platform, NAS and browser certification matrix
