About Protected Databases

A protected database is an Oracle Database that sends backups to Recovery Service.

Each protected database uniquely identifies an Oracle Database that uses Recovery Service for data protection. The source database may be provisioned in Oracle Cloud (OCI), in Oracle Multicloud environment, or deployed on-premises.

For Oracle Cloud Databases or Oracle Multilcoud Databases, Recovery Service automatically creates the protected database resource when you enable Autonomous Recovery Service as the backup destination.

Use the Cloud Protect Fleet Agent to add on-premises Oracle Databases to Recovery Service. See Protecting On-premises Databases using Oracle Database Zero Data Loss Cloud Protect for details.

Use the Protected database list page to view the list of protected databases in your tenancy. You can view the protection summary and monitor the backup performance. You can also view the Recovery Service subnet and Protection policy associated with each protected database.

Applying Tags

Apply tags to resources to help organize them according to your business needs. You can apply tags to a resource when you create it, and you can update a resource later to add, revise, or remove tags. For general information about tags and instructions for applying them, see Resource Tags.
