Hi Georger, I've been trying to setup the backup of our Oracle server with bacula following the steps mentioned in your doc.But, I am getting these errors: 25-Jun 08:55 tapti18522-fd JobId 20: ClientRunBeforeJob: SP2-0734: unknown command beginning "/var/oracl..." - rest of line ignored. 25-Jun 08:55 tapti18522-fd JobId 20: ClientRunBeforeJob: -rw-rw---- 16785408 2010/06/25 08:55:07 suncata.dbf Original post: [url] http://www.backupcentral.com/phpBB2/two-way-mirrors-of-external-mailing-lists-3/bacula-25/issue-backing-up-oracle-database-using-bacula-106510/?sid=76f56bb788345ee3741c464000d10e92 I guess it has to do with the fact that pl/sql does not recognize 'host' command: [/url]http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/PL/SQL_FAQ Would like to know how it worked for you, and/or if there any additional steps that I need to follow. Greatly appreciate your response.
