Upgrading to Oracle Secure Backup Release 18.1
You can upgrade only Oracle Secure Backup 12.1.0.2, Oracle Secure Backup 12.1.0.3, or Oracle Secure Backup 12.2 to Oracle Secure Backup 18.1. If you are using an earlier version, then you must upgrade to Oracle Secure Backup 12.1.0.3 prior to upgrading to Oracle Secure Backup 18.1.
Oracle Secure Backup 18.1 is backward compatible with Oracle Secure Backup 12.2 and Oracle Secure Backup 12.1 clients only.
Oracle Secure Backup 18.1 supports the Oracle Secure Backup 12.2 and Oracle Secure Backup 12.1 features and is interoperable with their functionality.
All media servers must be at the Oracle Secure Backup 18.1 version level.
Access to any new commands and options introduced in Oracle Secure Backup 18.1 are not supported from a 12.2 client. The new commands must be accessed from an Oracle Secure Backup 18.1 host or via the Oracle Secure Backup Web Tool.
A database backup to a cloud storage device from an Oracle Secure Backup 12.2 client is not supported. That backup is restricted to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic, disk, or tape.
The enhanced backup compression levels in Oracle Secure Backup 18.1 are not supported on an Oracle Secure Backup 12.1 client.

Readme Information for Oracle Secure Backup 18.1
This information in this section applies only to Oracle Secure Backup 18.1.
This section contains the following topics:
New Features
This section lists the new features in Oracle Secure Backup 18.1.
-
Support for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
Oracle Secure Backup now supports backups to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage and Archive Storage. Oracle Cloud storage is accessed and managed using Oracle Secure Backup cloud storage devices. All backup data is securely written to cloud storage devices by encrypting the backup data at the client host, with encryption keys being managed by the Oracle Secure Backup administrative server.
A backup can be copied from Object Storage to Archive Storage. Copy instance jobs support copying from Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and from Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage Classic to Archive Storage.
Oracle Secure Backup can perform secure backup and restore operations using multipart upload for efficient backup jobs. Managing a large number of objects becomes harder as the number of backups grows. With multipart uploads, backup segments are uploaded in parallel and once the entire backup is uploaded, segments are concatenated to form a single object (segment), lowering the number of objects in the bucket.
-
Backup validation
While creating or copying backup image instances, Oracle Secure Backup computes a checksum and then stores this value as part of the backup metadata. Validity of backup image instances can be verified by recomputing the checksum and comparing it with the stored checksum.
-
Simplified creation of Cloud wallets
The installer is enhanced to create a Cloud wallet and eliminate the need for the multi-step process that is currently used to create the Cloud wallet. A clean install or an upgrade from Oracle Secure Backup 12.1 will create a cloud wallet.
-
Add new certificates to your existing Cloud wallet.
You can download Cloud server certificates and import them into your Cloud wallet. The Oracle Secure Backup installer creates a Cloud wallet with the default certificates during installation. However, you can manually create a Cloud wallet, if required.
-
Allow backups on tape to be copied to the cloud
A new option
usecloudencis introduced incpinstancecommand to allow copy of legacy unencrypted or hardware encrypted data to Oracle Cloud storage. You must set the copy policy using thesetpcommand. -
Allow control connections to remain open while performing large backups.
A local policy for
tcpkeepaliveprevents idle Oracle Secure Backup network connections from being terminated by a proxy or firewall due to inactivity. You can set the local policy fortcpkeepaliveand configure the control connections to remain open so that the backup operations, for both file system and Recovery Manager (RMAN), complete successfully. -
Support for a new Cloud storage class option,
infrequentaccess.This storage option is useful for data that the user accesses infrequently, but is made available when needed. The storage costs for the infrequent access option are lower than the standard Object Storage.
This feature allows Oracle Secure Backup to support the
infrequentaccessstorage class option in the same way as the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Storageobjectandarchiveoptions. -
A new utility,
obsum, to generate summary reports.The
obsumutility generates summary reports seamlessly without affecting the Oracle Secure Backup job scheduler. It runs independently so that the scheduler does not get overloaded and completes the backup jobs.
Deprecated Functionalities in Oracle Secure Backup 18.1
This section lists the deprecated functionalities in Oracle Secure Backup 18.1.
The following commands are deprecated:
- The
opendoorcommand to open the import/export door of a tape library - The
closedoorcommand to close the import/export door of a tape library
- Support for OSB 12.1 clients. If you are using Oracle Secure Backup v12.1 clients, upgrade it for any future Oracle Secure Backup release.

Outstanding Bugs and Known Issues in Oracle Secure Backup 18.1
This section discusses Oracle Secure Backup release 18.1 outstanding bugs and known issues.
Bug 27273828
The Windows install fails if the user requests a non-existing temp directory.
Workaround:
Create the temporary directory before running the installer.
Bug 29938309
Installation of an Administrative Server on a Windows platform will fail if the Windows TZ environment variable is improperly set.
Workaround:
Remove the TZ environment variable or set the TZ environment variable to match the time zone listed in the Windows Control Panel.
Bug 30344325
The catalog command is not able to import the checksum meta data from a copied backup instance. A validatechecksum of that instance will report the error "...... does not contain checksum”.
Workaround:
No workaround. This error is restricted to only backup instances that were copied to a disk pool. It does not occur with instances that was initially written to a disk pool or copied to tape.
Bug 27149730
A backup of an OSB v12.1 or v12.2 client will fail if the ENCRYPTDATAINTRANSIT policy is ON.
Workaround:
The problem can be resolved by having the client encrypt the data before sending it
to the media server. Setting both the client’s encryption policy to “required”
(chhost --encryption required host-name ) and the hardware
encryption policy to “off” (setp backupencryption/enablehardwareencryption off )
will force the client to encrypt the backup data.
Bug 30467042
A backup of a client’s file system that uses a non-root OS user will fail if ENCRYPTDATAINTRANSIT IS ON.
Workaround:
This problem is restricted to remote client file system backups up to a tape or disk pool device. Setting the client’s encryption policy to “required” and the hardware encryption policy to "off "will allow the backup data to be encrypted on the client before being sent to the media server.
Bug 32073537
WEB TOOL - VIEW LOCATION REPORTS NOT WORKING
Workaround
Use obtool crtprt command to generate the location report.
Bug 31941188
COPY INSTANCE FROM OCI/OCI-C TO AN AIX MEDIA SERVER DISK POOL FAILS.
Workaround
Use a different platform for a media server such as Linux.
Bug 31778207
OSB SKIP LOCK FILE POLICY WITH "NO" OPTION BACKUP JOB SUCCEEDS WITHOUT WARNING OR ERRORS IN TRANSCRIPT LOG.
Bug 32230705
CLIENT RE-CERTIFICATION FAILURE WHEN ADDINGHOST IS NOT THE ADMIN HOST
Workaround
Update the failing host’s obconfig file ( /etc/obconfig )addinghost field to be the Admin Host’s FQDN and restart Oracle Secure Backup on the host.
Bug 33620500
Backup jobs on Windows Media Server fail with ERROR : CHILD PROCESS STACK OVERFLOW (FSP EVENT MANAGER)
Workaround
A Windows Media Server can only support 32 concurrent jobs. Configure the attached diskpools and cloud devices to support 32 concurrent jobs. This limit is seen only on Windows Media Serves.
Bug 33575972
The copy instance command option --usecloudenc is not available through the WebUI.
Workaround
The copy instance option –usecloudenc is available through the cpinstance command of the obtool command line utility.
Bug 33502632
The stage scan job will fail if the default stage rule is not defined.
Workaround
Configure the default stage rule for the disk pool.
Bug 31778207
A Windows backup job will not report a warning in the backup job transcript when locked files are not backed up.
Workaround
None. It is the expected behavior to not back up locked files.
