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 Veeam Backup & Replication to skip NOARCHIVELOG mode databases without warnings. To enable this behavior, create OracleSkipNoArchiveLogDB (DWORD) registry value under the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Veeam\Veeam Backup and Replication key on the processed VM. For VMs running Linux, add OracleSkipNoArchiveLogDB="true" to the VeeamOracleAgent.xml config file instead.
