Recovery Appliance Protected Database Fleet Archival Backup Management
Using the Create Archival Backup UI, you can set up a one-time archival backup or a recurring archival backup for a single protected database or all the protected databases in a specific protection policy. The archival backup is created from the database backups already existing on the Recovery Appliance.
Topics:
- Prerequisites
- Navigate to Archival Backups Page
- Create Archival Backup for the Selected Database
- Create Recurring Archival Backup for a Single Database
- Create Archival Backups for a Database Fleet
Prerequisites
-
To create the archival backup for a single database, the enablement of Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance Management Pack is not required. However, if you want to create archival backups for all the protected databases in a specific protection policy, then ensure to enable the Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance Management Pack first.
-
Before creating the archival backup, create the media manager that controls where the backup is stored (either in the Oracle Cloud, tape, or other media). See Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance Administrator's Guide.
Navigate to Archival Backups Page
To open the Archival backups page, in your Recovery Appliance page, click Recovery Appliance, and click Archival Backups. Alternatively, click Recovery Appliance, click Protected Databases, and then click Archival Backups.
The Archival Backups page lists all the archival backups found for the selected database. Click Create Archival Backup to create a new archival backup.
The Create Archival Backup page opens. If Databases in Protection Policy toggle is disabled, then the Recovery Appliance doesn't have the management pack enabled.
