Progress Database
We are moving from commvalt to avamar multi node.
Does avamar support Progress Database?

Hello,
I believe "Progress database" includes schema holders for Oracle systems.
We do support Oracle, so you might try to backup "Progress Database" using Avamar. However, i don't see this on Avamar comatibility matrix.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

Another option if you are ever missing an Avamar plugin for a particular database type is to use the database system's management tools to dump to file and perform a regular file system backup of the file(s).

Hello,
AFAIK the postgress SQL DB backup is not supported (not in the software compatibility matrix), that means there is NO plugin to perform online backup .
The only way is to do a backup is:
- to create a dump on this DB use postgres SQL command ... and then perform file level backup on this dump.
- to create a savepnpc (batch or shell) script which could be used to stop daemons, perform a offline backup on it, then after successfully backup to start daemons again and bring DB in active state .
Please clear the things with EMC first which method is supported here ... this could be very tricky ...
hope this helps .
