This preface lists new and changed features provided in Oracle Secure Backup 12c Release 2 (12.2).
The following are the changes in Oracle Secure Backup Installation and Configuration Guide for Oracle Database 12c Release 2 (12.2.0.1).
Oracle Secure Backup now supports backup to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage Classic. Backup data can be written to either Oracle Cloud Object Storage or Archive Storage. Oracle Cloud storage is accessed and managed using Oracle Secure Backup cloud storage devices in a manner similar to other Oracle Secure Backup devices.
All backup data is securely written to cloud storage devices by encrypting the backup data at the client host, with encryption keys being managed by the Oracle Secure Backup administrative server.
Cloud storage devices can also be used as targets for staging, which allows you to back up your data to a faster disk pool and then move it to the cloud.
You can also copy backup instances from Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage Classic to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Archive Storage Classic for long-term retention.
During Oracle Secure Backup installations, the --install_role Client parameter automatically selects the client host role. When this parameter is used, you are not prompted for advanced settings.
