Remote Backup

Oracle SOA Cloud Service uses a remote networked disk to store Oracle SOA Cloud Service instance backups.

The remote networked disk is not permanently attached to the service instance’s WebLogic Server Administration Server virtual machine.

A remote networked disk is not required for service instances created at the Oracle SOA Cloud Service—Virtual Image service level. Only service instances created at the service level of Oracle SOA Cloud Service require access to a remote backup disk.

When creating an Oracle SOA Cloud Service instance, you specify the remote backup disk to use by providing the URI in one of the following formats:

host_name:absolute_path_to_remote_backup_disk
host_ip:absolute_path_to_remote_backup_disk

Note:

A remote backup disk share must be owned by oracle:oracle or uid=1101 and gid=1000, and the permissions rwxr-xr-x or rwx------ must be given.
