Update Standby to Use a Backup Copy Peer

Describes the steps to change the disaster recovery type from Autonomous Data Guard standby database to Backup-Based Disaster Recovery.

These steps terminate the standby database. By default Autonomous Database provides a Backup-Based Disaster Recovery peer and these steps change the disaster recovery type from Autonomous Data Guard to backup copy.

Perform the following prerequisite steps as necessary:

  • Open the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console by clicking the navigation icon next to Cloud.

  • From the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure left navigation menu click Oracle Database and then click Autonomous Database.

  • On the Autonomous Databases page select your Autonomous Database from the links under the Display name column.

To change the disaster recovery type:

  1. On the Autonomous Database Details page, select the Disaster recovery tab.
  2. In the row showing the disaster recovery details, at the end of the row click Actions and select Update disaster recovery.

    This shows the Update disaster recovery pane.

  3. Select Backup-based disaster recovery.
  4. Click Submit.

    While the standby database is terminating, the Lifecycle state changes to Updating.

    Autonomous Database generates the Disable Autonomous Data Guard work request.

    To view the request, on the Autonomous Database details page select the Work requests tab.
