View a List of Remote Backups

Remote backups, also known as cross region backups, are additional backups that are stored in a different region than the source database. In case of a region failure, you can use this backup to recover your database. When you enable cross-region backups, a backup will be taken at the Autonomous Container Database (ACD) level. This backup includes the Autonomous Databases within the ACD and all archive logs. A second backup will be taken in the region that you've specified. The ACD backup can then be cloned into a different Autonomous Exadata VM Cluster (AVMC). You can view a list of remote backups from the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure console.

To create a remote backup, you must enable cross region backups for your Autonomous Container Database (ACD). See Edit Autonomous Container Database Backup Settings for instructions.
