Oracle Database Appliance supports three types of backup configuration:
Backup to an Oracle Fast Recovery Area (FRA) disk (Internal FRA)
Backup to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage (Oracle Object Storage)
Backup to a Network File System (NFS) location (External FRA)
You can use the backup, restore, and recovery features with databases that have backup policy attached to them in the system. You can choose to manage your backups, and set up your backup, restore, and recovery options.
ObjectStoreSwift object must be created before creating the Object Store backup configuration. When a database is modified with either Object Store or Disk or NFS backup configuration, Database backup and archive log backup schedules are created for that database. The database can be restored only from Object Store and NFS backups. Corresponding backup report must be copied manually to the system where the database needs to be restored.
