Configure Data Guard Databases to Send Backups and Redo to a Recovery Appliance
For the details about the wizard options, see Configure Non-Data Guard Databases to Send Backups and Redo to a Recovery Appliance. For the options that are unique to configuring Data Guard databases for Recovery Appliance backup, see below:
In the Targets page:
- Enable Configure Data Guard Databases. With this option, only individual databases can be selected.
- The target selector will only display the databases that are in a Data Guard configuration and are currently in a primary Data Guard role.
- Note that although only primary databases are shown and selected here, all the primary and standby databases in each respective Data Guard configuration are configured to backup to the selected Recovery Appliance.

In the Credentials page:
- The credentials specified here will also be used for all standby databases in the Data Guard configurations.
- With the addition of the Recovery Appliance to the respective Data
Guard configurations, the primary database redo transport user will be changed to
the Recovery Appliance virtual private catalog (VPC) user that was specified in the
previous step. This user must be created in the primary database. Oracle Enterprise Manager can either automatically generate a password for
this user, or an Oracle Enterprise Manager generic password
credential containing this password can be specified. For the latter choice, the
generic password credential must first be created using EMCLI
create_named_credential
command.
