New Features

• Oracle Secure Backup now supports backup to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage.

  Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage is accessed and managed using Oracle Secure Backup cloud storage devices in a manner similar to other Oracle Secure Backup devices. All backup data is securely written to cloud storage devices by encrypting the backup data at the client host, with encryption keys being managed by the Oracle Secure Backup administrative server.

  See About Cloud Storage Devices and Creating Cloud Storage Devices for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure .

• Oracle Secure Backup allows adding new certificates to an existing Cloud wallet. You can download Cloud server certificates and import them into your Cloud wallet.

  The Oracle Secure Backup installer creates a Cloud wallet with the default certificates during installation. However, you can manually create a Cloud wallet, if required.

  See About Cloud Certificates, Adding Certificates to the Cloud Wallet, and Manually Creating a Cloud Wallet.

• Oracle Secure Backup now allows control connections to remain open using a local policy for tcpkeepalive.

  While performing large backups, the tcpkeepalive policy prevents idle Oracle Secure Backup network connections from being terminated by a proxy or firewall due to inactivity.

  See Enable tcpkeepalive on local host, About tcpkeeplive, and Configuring Firewalls for Oracle Secure Backup on Windows.

• Oracle Secure Backup offers a new Cloud storage class option, infrequent access.

  This storage option is useful for data that the user accesses infrequently, but is made available when needed. The storage costs for the infrequent access option are lower than the standard Object Storage.
