Clone Autonomous Database from a Backup
Shows the options to select a backup as the clone source for cloning Autonomous Database.
Perform the following prerequisite steps as necessary:
-
Open the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure console by clicking the
next to Oracle Cloud.
- From the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure left navigation list click either Autonomous Data Warehouse, Autonomous Transaction Processing, or Autonomous JSON Database depending on the workload type of your Autonomous Database.
On the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure console the State shows Provisioning... until the new database is available.
Notes:
-
If there is an ongoing clone from backup operation on a source database, you cannot initiate a new clone operation on the same backup being cloned until the ongoing operation completes. Thus, you cannot clone from backup twice concurrently from a specific backup (for example, a specific timestamp or a specific selected backup from the list of backups).
-
When creating a clone from a backup, you must select a backup that is at least 2 hours old, or the clone operation will fail.
-
For external tables, partitioned external tables, and the external partitions of hybrid partitioned tables a backup does not include the external files that reside on your Object Store. Thus, for the clone from backup operation, it is your responsibility to backup, and restore if necessary, the external files associated with external tables, external partitioned tables, or the external files for a hybrid partitioned table
-
With clone from backup, the Oracle Machine Learning workspaces, projects, and notebooks of the source database are not cloned to the new database.
