49 Backing up and Restoring Cloud EDM

Snapshots are used to back up the Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Data Management environment.

A maintenance snapshot is automatically created every day at a time that you select. This snapshot is named Artifact Snapshot and includes all artifacts in your Cloud EDM environment:

• EDMC Repository and Data Grants

• Users, Groups, and Assigned Roles

Each day, the new maintenance snapshot replaces the previous snapshot. Oracle recommends that you download the snapshot to a local computer to back up the environment.

You can also export artifacts to create snapshots that can be used to rollback the service to a previous state or restore the service in the event of a disaster. You select the artifacts to export. You can export all artifacts in the service or a subset of artifacts. Snapshots that you create by exporting artifacts are kept on the server for 60 days and can also be downloaded to a local computer for archiving purposes.

This scenario provides detailed steps for backing up your Cloud EDM environment by creating your own snapshot of exported artifacts.
