VSS Provider Memory Leak (Doc ID 2224789.1)

Last updated on JULY 08, 2019

Applies to:

Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition - Version 11.2.0.4 and later
Oracle Database Exadata Cloud Machine - Version N/A and later
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure - Database Service - Version N/A and later
Oracle Database Exadata Express Cloud Service - Version N/A and later
Oracle Database Cloud Exadata Service - Version N/A and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

- Does Oracle still support VSS as a valid backup mechanism?
- Are there any memory or other defects reported with the current version of the VSS engine (provider/writer, etc.) in those Oracle versions and if so what's being done to fix it?
- What's Oracle's longer term direction on VSS with these databases? We must use VSS with our Symantec System Recovery Server Edition 2013 backup tool standard to correctly quiesce/snapshot Oracle 10g/11g databases.
