很多用户都问到这个问题，其实和普通服务器上的数据库备份没有区别。例如在NetBackup 8.0 - 8.x.x Database and Application Agent Compatibility List中提到：
Database Appliances: 3rd party database hardware appliances are supported if the appliance OS/architecture and database software are listed in the Veritas NetBackup OS compatibility list http://www.veritas.com/docs/100032808 and in the Database and Application Agent compatibility list (this document). For example, some Oracle Exadata and Exalogic models are supported based upon this support statement. Please consult the vendor documentation to identify the embedded software versions.
Oracle 方面关于此的解释可任意参照：Is it supported and recommended to install netbackup Agent directly on exadata，其中提到两个注意事项：
- 备份代理是装在数据库节点，而非存储节点
- 安装的软件为避免被删除，需要加入到/etc/exadata/yum/exclusion.lst中
Symantec方面关于Exadata的一些讨论参见：
https://www.veritas.com/content/support/en_US/search-results.html?q=Exadata&fq=(locale%3A%22en_US%22)
其中这个比较有用。
