Policy-Based Data Protection Management

Recovery Service simplifies backup management through protection policies.

  • Backup Retention
    Recovery Service retains protected database backups for a minimum period of 14 days and a maximum period of 95 days. Long-term retention (LTR) backups can be retained for a period ranging from 90 days to 3650 days (10 years).
  • Recovery Window
    Recovery window is the maximum length of time, counting backward from the current time, that a protected database can be recovered.
  • Retention Lock
    The retention lock option is designed to enforce Recovery Service immutability at the protection policy level. Retention lock is an optional feature to safeguard your protected database backups from inadvertent changes or malicious damages, such as ransomware attacks.
  • Multicloud Oracle Database Backup Support
    Recovery Service supports multicloud Oracle Databases, such as Oracle Database@Azure and Oracle Database@Google Cloud and provides the flexibility to store backups in the same cloud location where a multicloud database resides.
