Agents needed to backup SAP/oracle

It's a Monday and I'm already upset with avamar.....

As far as I can tell to backup SAP with a oracle back end I need to load up the following :--->

rpm -hi AvamarClient-linux-sles11-x86_64-6.1.102-47.rpm

rpm -hi AvamarSAP-linux-sles11-x86_64-6.1.102-47.rpm

Do I need to load up the Oracle Agent as well?

For SAP Backups to be successful does it need the SBT_TAPE library?

Thanks..............
