   • If the databases to be configured are Data Guard primary databases, enable Configure Data Guard Databases. In the following example, this option is not enabled.
   • Select Enable Recovery Appliance Backup and Recovery Continuity if required. In the following example, this option is not selected.

     For more information about this option, see Configure Non-Data Guard Databases for Recovery Appliance Backup and Recovery Continuity. Both the Recovery Appliances must have the Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance Management Pack enabled. This feature can be used only if at least two Recovery Appliances have the pack enabled.

   • Select the Target Type. Select Database if the configuration is for individual databases. Select Group if the configuration is for a fleet of databases.
   • Select the targets to configure the backups for. Select individual databases or groups containing databases.

   • Optionally, you can specify Override Connect Descriptor to override the one used by Oracle Enterprise Manager to connect to the Recovery Appliance.
   • Select the Virtual Private Catalog User to use for sending the backups. All the virtual private catalog users for this Recovery Appliance that are known to Oracle Enterprise Manager are listed here. Select a virtual private catalog user who has access to the recovery catalog metadata for all the selected databases.
   • Optionally, you can opt to Enable Real-Time Redo Transport to the Recovery Appliance.
   • Optionally, select whether to install the Recovery Appliance backup module (recommended for pre-23ai database versions).
