Viewing Detailed Backup Configuration Information

You can use the get_config_info command of the bkup_api utility to view detailed backup configuration settings for database deployments. Optionally, the output can be used to create a file containing JSON formatted output.

1. Connect to a compute node as the opc user.

   For detailed instructions, see Connecting to a Compute Node Through Secure Shell (SSH).

2. Start a root-user command shell:

   $ sudo -s
   #

3. Use the get_config_info subcommand to display information about the current backup configuration:

   # /var/opt/oracle/bkup_api/bkup_api get_config_info --all --dbname dbname [--json json_destination]
   

   where dbname is the database name and json_destination is the name of a file to be generated containing JSON formatted output.

4. Exit the root-user command shell and disconnect from the compute node:

   # exit
   $ exit
