1. Use SQLcl to log in to the database as the SYSBACKUP user.

   /opt/oracle/sqlcl/bin/sql -name <DB_UNIQUE_NAME>_rcv_conn

   In this example, you log in to the database c1db1.

   /opt/oracle/sqlcl/bin/sql -name c1db1_rcv_conn

2. Run the rcv show database command.

   SQL> rcv show database

   Review the sample output. This sample output indicates the Protected health status for the c1db1 database.
