Nakivo has released Backup and Replication 9.3 with Oracle support. I think that Oracle support has been requested from Nakivo users a lot. A lot of big enterprises use Oracle a lot. One of the industries that heavily rely on the Oracle databases is also retail, where you can find billion of products, daily changing prices, actions and promotions, related products, products description, products dimensions for the warehouse and delivery information among the many information that you may not notice when you buy a product.
I used to work for a major retailer and Oracle backup was high on our wishlist. We used scripts that would dump data. Data got compressed and moved to the backup directory. There it was picked up by the main backup program that sent all the backups to the tape library. Microsoft SQL was supported natively with most backup programs. But Oracle… is another story. Luckily Nakivo added support for Oracle.

Nakivo is slowly and steadily extending enterprise-grade features. Backup for Oracle RMAN functionality provides the business of all sizes, data protection for one of the most used databases in the world.
New features in the latest release:

Every new release brings just the right features to the already stable base. Many enterprises can start evaluating Nakivo for Oracle backup alone. When you look at the pricing… Nakivo is an obvious choice.
