The EMCLI configure_db_ha command offers highly granular per-database customization of backup and configuration options and also supports several advanced options. It allows configuration of Data Guard databases to send backup and redo to multiple Recovery Appliances, in accordance with several Maximum Availability Architecture (MAA) recommended database protection configurations.

Discussed in this topic are examples of using this EMCLI command to configure several advanced database fleet backup topologies that involve a combination of one or more of the following:

1. Data Guard primary and standby databases, either or both of which may be backing up to one or multiple corresponding Recovery Appliances.

2. Two Recovery Appliances, which may or may not be configured for two-way (Backup Anywhere) replication.

3. One or more Recovery Appliances configured as alternate backup/redo destinations in order to provide backup and recovery continuity.
