About the Migration Scope

Learn about the scope of migrating Oracle Database Backup Cloud Service to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

When you use Database Backup Cloud Service to back up your on-premise database to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic, the backups are stored in a container in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage Classic. This guide describes how to migrate these backups from Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage Classic to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. After migration, the backups are stored in a bucket in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage.

If your recovery window is long, and backups must be retained for a long time, it is best to migrate backups using the information in this guide.

If your recovery window is short, consider retaining existing backups on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage Classic and creating new backups to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. To do this, you install the Oracle Database Cloud Backup Module for OCI and create backups to a bucket in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage. Ensure that the location of the credentials wallet and the name of the configuration file are different from those used for the Oracle Database Cloud Backup Module for OCI Classic. If you need to restore backups stored on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage Classic, allocate an RMAN channel that uses the confguration details of the Oracle Database Cloud Backup Module for OCI Classic and then perform the restore.
