5 Restoring Backups from Oracle Database Backup Cloud Service
You can use standard Recovery Manager (RMAN) commands to perform restore and recovery operations from Oracle Database Backup Cloud Service. You’ll also use RMAN to specify retention policies, perform crosschecks, and delete backups.
A few possible scenarios are addressed here. For complete information about using RMAN to perform various types of restore and recovery operations, see Diagnosing and Responding to Failures in Oracle Database Backup and Recovery User's Guide. For information about RMAN commands, see About RMAN Commands in Oracle Database Backup and Recovery Reference. The concepts and commands in these RMAN guides are applicable to the database backed up to Oracle Database Backup Cloud Service.
