Schedule Database Fleet Backup to Recovery Appliance

In the Schedule Oracle-Suggested Fleet Backup to Recovery Appliance wizard:

  1. Targets page:

    • Select the Target Type. Select Database if the schedule is for individual databases. Otherwise select Group to include all the databases within that group that are configured to back up to a Recovery Appliance in the scheduled procedure. In the current example, the schedule is for individual databases, and hence the target type is Database.
    • Select the databases for backup. The target selector lists only those databases that are configured to backup to a Recovery Appliance.

      Note that the selected databases might be configured to backup to different Recovery Appliances.

  4. Schedule page:

    All the databases will be backed up to the Recovery Appliance on the schedule specified on the Schedule page.

    The Oracle-recommended backup strategy for databases backing up to the Recovery Appliance is to perform an incremental backup every day (the default schedule selection).

    • You can change the Frequency of the backup, if required.
    • Using the fields Start Repeat and Time Zone, specify the time to run the backup. Optionally, using the field End Repeat, you can also specify an end time for this recurring execution.
