RMAN Backup across Network NFS
In my organisation we are using Solaris 10/Red Hat 5 and Oracle 11g.
I have designed a backup environment that uses a single backup server (Linux Red Hat 5) to hold 11g RMAN backup sets from a number of different database servers (Solaris 10 & Linux). I have been looking to mount the backup server using NFS but if the backup server is unavailable then I am concerned that the database server will halt.
Is there anyone able to provide a reccomended way to configure this so that there is no dependancy between the database server and the backup server? i.e. When the backup server is not available the database server continues to perform normally (just no backups). Any suggestions or guidance would be gratefully recieved.
