Hi
We have our first oracle database running on a windows 2003 server. I can't seem to find a client to install to backup the database. Whats the proccess involved ?
We are using netbackup 6.5.4

We don't actually use any d/b agents, but
when running the original x86 Server/Client install CD, there is a Database Agents option on the Main Menu.
If you click on this option, you get the following statement:
"...
Database Agent installation is no longer necessary, the agents are automatically installed with either a NetBackup Server or Client install.
..."
But you will need to apply the correct licence in order to utilise this agent.
This is confirmed in the NetBackup for Oracle Admin Guide:
"...
NetBackup for Oracle is installed with the NetBackup server and client software, but you must confirm that the installation prerequisites in this section are met before you enable the database agent.
These requirements apply for remote and local installations.
..."

Nothing to do
With installation of NBU client agent software for windows you are also installing the needed bianries for DB extensions like: Oracle, MSSQL, Exchange etc. Everything is included within the ordinary NBU client for windows.

Check below screenshot, I ran NBU installation, then selected on left hand side Database Agents, and below is output :D
