Backing Up to Oracle Database Backup Cloud Service Using Password Encryption

You can use password encryption to back up to Oracle Database Backup Cloud Service. The password must be specified each time you back up and restore.

Prerequisites

See Prerequisites for Backups and Restores with Oracle Database Backup Cloud Service for prerequisites.

Procedure

  1. Specify the password that must be used to encrypt backups. Use the SET ENCRYPTION command.
  2. Back up the database using the BACKUP DATABASE command. Include archived redo log files, if required.

Note:

If you forget or lose the password, you won’t be able to restore the backup.

The following example configures password encryption for the backup and creates a backup of the entire database:

RMAN> SET ENCRYPTION ON IDENTIFIED BY 'my_pswd' ONLY;
RMAN> BACKUP DEVICE TYPE sbt DATABASE;
