Manage deployment backups
Deployment Backups can help you troubleshoot issues, clone deployments, and restore deployments.
Note:
This information applies only to Data replication deployments.Deployment backups are automatically created daily. You can also create manual backups at any time. Backups are retained for 60 days, after which they are automatically deleted. To retain data contained within automatic backups for more than 60 days, you can archive the data and save them to your Oracle Object Storage tenancy. Associated storage charges apply.
