Viewing Backup Configuration Information

How you view information about the current backup configuration of a database deployment depends on the type of database running in the deployment.

For database deployments hosting single-instance databases, you use the bkup_api utility. See Viewing Backup Configuration Information by Using the bkup_api Utility.
For database deployments hosting Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) databases, you use the raccli utility. See Viewing Backup Configuration Information by Using the raccli Utility.

Viewing Backup Configuration Information by Using the bkup_api Utility

This topic does not apply to Oracle Cloud at Customer.

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

Connect to the compute node as the opc user.

For detailed instructions, see Connecting to a Compute Node Through Secure Shell (SSH).
Start a root-user command shell:
```
$ sudo -s
#
```
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 syntax.
Exit the root-user command shell and disconnect from the compute node:
```
# exit
$ exit
```

Viewing Backup Configuration Information by Using the raccli Utility

This topic does not apply to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure or to Oracle Cloud at Customer.

You use the list backupconfig command of the raccli utility to view backup configuration settings for database deployments hosting an Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) database.

Connect to the compute node as the opc user.

For detailed instructions, see Connecting to a Compute Node Through Secure Shell (SSH).
Use the list backupconfig subcommand to display information about the current backup configuration:
```
$ raccli list backupconfig
```
Disconnect from the compute node:
```
$ exit
```
