How DD Boost Supercharges Oracle RMAN Backups and Deduplication
DD Boost integrates tightly with Oracle RMAN to provide a flexible, policy‑driven backup solution that allows DBAs to manage local and disaster‑recovery sites independently, simplifies deployment via a simple plugin, and dramatically improves performance by sending only unique data blocks to Data Domain for deduplication.
DD Boost Ecosystem
DD Boost can integrate with many systems to provide flexible backup solutions. It also includes built‑in backup capabilities that allow business administrators to define backup policies for specific workloads (e.g., Oracle, Greenplum) without involving a dedicated backup administrator. Additionally, it can be coupled with backup software for unified scheduling and coordination.
DD Boost Deployment
To deploy DD Boost, install the DD Boost plugin on the Oracle server and connect the plugin interface between the Oracle Media Management Layer (MML) API—also known as the Simple Tape Backup API—and DD Boost.
Distributed Deduplication Workflow
Before using DD Boost, Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN) would send all data—both unique and redundant—to a Data Domain system for deduplication, as shown in the diagram.
When DD Boost is enabled, the Oracle server transmits only the unique data segments to the Data Domain system, dramatically improving backup performance.
