Overview of Daily Backups

Every day, during the operational maintenance of the environment, Oracle backs up the content of the environment to create an Environment Backup and a maintenance snapshot, named Artifact Snapshot, of existing artifacts and data.

Service Administrators can use the Environment Backup or the Artifact Snapshot to recover artifacts and data (such as forms and reports) that may have been deleted after the last maintenance window. They can also restore the environment to its previous state as of the last maintenance window.
