How It Works
Oracle recommends the following tools for accessing OSB.
•
Use OEM for managing OSB.
•
Use OSB Web Tool to manage file-system backups.
•
Use the obtool utility or OSB Web Tool to access the OSB configuration file. (Do not access the
configuration file directly through a text editor.)
The obtool command-line client includes the complete functionality of OSB. Behind the scenes, both OEM
and the Oracle Secure Backup Web Tool invoke obtool to perform their tasks. Oracle recommends that you access
configuration data through the obtool utility, or through the Oracle Secure backup web tool, which is based on the
obtool utility.
