Purpose

This article documents how to disable the processing of Oracle instances by Application-Aware Processing without disabling Application-Aware Processing processing for other applications running on the same machine.

Solution

Disable Oracle Processing for a VM Protected by Veeam Backup & Replication

Windows OS

Within the Guest OS of the Protected VM, add the following registry value:

Key Location: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Veeam\Veeam Backup and Replication
Value Name: DisableOracleProcessing 
Value Type: DWORD (32-bit) Value
Value Data: 1

A value of 1 enables the registry settings, which disables Oracle processing.

New-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Veeam\Veeam Backup and Replication\' -Name 'DisableOracleProcessing' -Value "1" -PropertyType DWORD -Force
Linux OS

Within the Guest OS of the protected VM, create a file named VeeamOracleAgent.xml in the folder where the oracleagent is located in the guest (/tmp by default) with the following string:

<config DisableOracleProcessing="true"></config>

echo '<config DisableOracleProcessing="true"></config>' >> /tmp/VeeamOracleAgent.xml

Disable Oracle Processing for a Machine Protected using Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows

Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows 6.3 and higher

Add the following registry value within the guest OS:

Key Location: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Veeam\Veeam Backup and Replication
Value Name: DisableOracleProcessing 
Value Type: DWORD (32-bit) Value
Value Data: 1

A value of 1 enables the registry settings, which disables Oracle processing.

New-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Veeam\Veeam Backup and Replication\' -Name 'DisableOracleProcessing' -Value "1" -PropertyType DWORD -Force
Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows 6.2 and lower

Add the following registry value within the guest OS:

Key Location: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Veeam\Veeam Endpoint Backup
Value Name: DisableOracleProcessing 
Value Type: DWORD (32-bit) Value
Value Data: 1

A value of 1 enables the registry settings, which disables Oracle processing.

New-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Veeam\Veeam Endpoint Backup\' -Name 'DisableOracleProcessing' -Value "1" -PropertyType DWORD -Force

More Information

  • There is no way to exclude specific Oracle databases from being processed by Application-Aware Processing.
  • As an alternative to completely disabling Oracle processing, it is also possible to force the skipping of databases in NOARCHIVELOG mode without warnings. To enable this behavior:
    • For VMs running Windows, create OracleSkipNoArchiveLogDB (DWORD) registry value under the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Veeam\Veeam Backup and Replication key.
    • For VMs running Linux, add OracleSkipNoArchiveLogDB="true" to the VeeamOracleAgent.xml config file.
    • For Machines protected using Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows, create OracleSkipNoArchiveLogDB (DWORD) registry value under the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Veeam\Veeam Endpoint Backup key.
