Crispopa,
You do not need Oracle Agent installed to perform a quality backup. The simplest form of a full Oracle backup is to:
1) Perform a clean, well-behaved shutdown of the database (e.g., SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE).
2) Copy (using your favourite o/s copy utility) all database files (i.e, Control Files, Database Datafile, and On-line Redo Log Files) to a safe location.
3) Restart the database.
Let us know if you have follow-on questions.

You do not need Oracle agent to do backups, but you do need Veritas client installed (and configured) to do Veritas (or RMAN) backups to tape.

Hi,
maybe you get a better answer in the VERITAS: NetBackup Tek-Tips Forum.
To integrate SantaMufasa's suggestions into a Veritas environment you can do following:
1) Put a script in your $netbackup/bin directory called bpstart_notify which performs the shutdown
2) Netbackup copies according to the specifications in your policy. Include all needed filesystems there.
3) Put a script in your $netbackup/bin directory called bpend_notify which performs the restart
The *_notify scripts are called automatically when backup starts or ends, no matter if started via master or client.
The default $netbackup directory is /usr/openv/netbackup (at least on AIX).
