Backing Up to Oracle Database Backup Cloud Service

4 Backing Up to Oracle Database Backup Cloud Service

After you install the required backup module and configure Recovery Manager (RMAN) settings, you can create backups using familiar RMAN commands.

Information about your cloud backups is maintained in the database control file, and in the recovery catalog if you use one.

Encryption is required to back up to Oracle Database Backup Cloud Service. You can use password encryption, Transparent Data Encryption (TDE), or dual-mode encryption, which is a combination of password and TDE.

Note:

Use RMAN parallelism, compression, and other best practices to speed up cloud backups and restores. For more information about optimizing performance, see the guidelines listed in Best Practices to Optimize Cloud Backup Rates.
