What’s New in Recovery Service

Learn about the new features in Recovery Service.

Add ZPR security attributes for Recovery Service subnets

You can now add Zero Trust Packet Routing (ZPR) security attributes to a Recovery Service subnet to enforce a strict least-privilege model where network-traffic is restricted unless explicitly permitted. Security attributes are labels for a resource that can be referenced in a ZPR policy to control access to ZPR-supported resources, such as Recovery Service subnets. See Managing Security Attributes for Recovery Service Subnet to learn more.

See Zero Trust Packet Routing to learn about the ZPR service.

Automated Cleanup of Recovery Service Subnets Registered by the Service

Recovery Service automates the maintenance of unused Recovery Service subnets that are automatically registered by the service.

After deleting a protected database, Recovery Service also removes the automatically registered Recovery Service subnet if it is unchanged and has no dependencies with any other protected database.

See Deleting a Recovery Service Subnet for details.

Protect on-premises Oracle Databases with Oracle Database Zero Data Loss Cloud Protect

Oracle Database Zero Data Loss Cloud Protect is now available.

Protect on-premises Oracle Databases using Oracle Zero Data Loss Autonomous Recovery Service deployed in OCI. This new feature provides real-time transaction protection, logically air-gapped immutable backups, and enables fast, point-in-time recovery to any location.

Create long-term retention backups with Recovery Service

You can now create a long-term retention (LTR) backup of your database with Autonomous Recovery Service and retain the backup for up to 10 years. LTR backups are stored in the Object Storage Infrequent Access tier. You can restore an LTR backup to create a new database within the retention period.

Multicloud Database Backup Support

Autonomous Recovery Service now supports Oracle Multicloud Databases such as Oracle Database@Azure and Oracle Database@Google Cloud. Recovery Service also provides the option to store the backups in the same cloud location as the database.

If you enable the Store backups in the same cloud provider as the database option for a protection policy and choose this policy for automatic backups to Recovery Service, then the database backups will be stored in the same cloud provider where the database resides. For example, for Oracle Database@Azure, Recovery Service stores the backups in Azure if you have selected the Store backups in the same cloud provider as the database option in the chosen protection policy.

Support for Network Security Groups (NSG)

You can now optionally use network security groups (NSGs) to implement the security rules that control the inbound and outbound traffic between your Oracle Database and Recovery Service. In the OCI console, you can use options to add a Recovery Service subnet to the Recovery Service NSGs configured in the database VCN.

Create a Protected Database in a Dry-Run Mode

You can perform a dry run of the CreateProtectedDatabase API to verify that you meet all the prerequisites before creating a protected database. A dry run request returns error messages identifying the missing requirements and also indicates the recommended action to fulfill each requirement.

Retention Lock for Protected Database Backups

You can now enforce a lock for the backup retention period defined in a protection policy. When a retention lock is in effect, Recovery Service prohibits the modification or deletion of backups during the specified duration. The retention lock feature helps to protect your database backups from accidental or malicious damages such as ransomware.

Delayed Deletion of Protected Database Resources and Database Backups

Protected databases now have a new lifecycle state called Delete Scheduled.

A protected database resource enters the Delete Scheduled state after you terminate the source database or if you disable its automatic backups. Recovery Service delays the deletion of the protected database resource and the database backups for 72 hours, or until the backup retention period ends. This feature provides you an opportunity to recover data even after you terminate a database.
