Enable or Disable Backups
You can enable or disable backups for an Oracle Java Cloud Service instance.
Backups are enabled on a service instance if you set the Backup Destination to a value other than None
when you created the service instance. To configure backups for an existing service instance, see Add a Backup Configuration to an Oracle Java Cloud Service Instance.
If backups are disabled for a service instance:
- Scheduled backups do not run.
- You cannot create an on-demand backup.
- You cannot restore an instance from a backup.
- Automated backups do not run prior to other maintenance operations, such as patching.
Backups that were previously created are not affected when backups are disabled.
Java Cloud Service automatically disables backups after consecutive failures occur with scheduled backups. When you enable backups, also update the backup configuration and correct the cause of the failures, such as an incorrect password.
