The Recovery Appliance backup module configuration file contains the configuration settings that are used when protected databases communicate with the Recovery Appliance. The configuration file is created automatically when the Recovery Appliance backup module is installed on the protected database host.

You can also set some Recovery Appliance backup module configuration parameters inline, while configuring or allocating RMAN SBT channels for the Recovery Appliance, as shown in Example 3-3 and Example 3-4.
