Backing Up the PDB

Perform this procedure once each day. The estimated time required to complete this procedure is two hours. PDB provisioning can take place while this procedure is being performed, but will extend the time required.

Note:

Make sure that you perform this procedure on the same server on which you performed Backing Up the RTDB. Make sure that you performed Backing Up the RTDB first so that the RTDB backup level will be lower than the associated PDB backup level.

1. Log in to the EPAP GUI on server A as the epapall user.
   For information about how to log in to the EPAP GUI, refer to Accessing the EPAP GUI.
2. If you are not logged in to EPAP A, select the Select Mate option.
3. From the EPAP Menu, select PDBA>Maintenance>Backup>Backup the PDB.
4. In the Backup the PDB screen shown in Figure 3-8, click Backup PDB.
