Media Management Layer
To be able to perform database backup and recovery operations to and from tape, a media management library
(MML) should be configured and must be integrated with RMAN. Oracle Secure Backup (OSB) provides a media
manager layer and supports RMAN backup and recovery operations to tape on the majority of operating systems
(OS). Similarly, there are a few third-party vendor media management solutions available for the same purpose, such
as Symantec NetBackup, EMC NetWorker Module for Oracle, IBM Tivoli Data Protection for Oracle (TDPO), and HP
Data Protector (DP).
