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 ReplicationValue Name: DisableOracleProcessing Value Type: DWORD (32-bit) ValueValue Data: 1
A value of 1 enables the registry settings, which disables Oracle processing.
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.
