## Backup and Recovery Using Recovery Service

FAQs on backup and recovery on Oracle Database Appliance using Recovery Service.

Is there any pre-requisite for the network setup between OCI and on-premise environment such as Oracle Database Appliance?

Yes. You must ensure that Oracle Database Appliance can connect to OCI services. The Cloud Protect Fleet Agent does not set up the networking. For information about configuring the network, see https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Network/Concepts/connectivityonprem.htm.

Are there any pre-requisites for using Cloud Protect Fleet Agent on Oracle Database Appliance?

Yes. For information about the pre-requisites to use the Cloud Protect Fleet Agent, see https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/recovery-service/doc/prerequisites-oracle-cloud-protect-fleet-agent.html.

Does the database user on Oracle Database Appliance need some permissions to create the Recovery Service resources that are used by the Cloud Protect Fleet Agent?

Yes, the OCI administrator must provide permissions to the database user on OCI Recovery Service to create the Recovery Service resources.

As a pre-requisite, one must configure the network resources in OCI for sending backups to Recovery Service using Cloud Protect Fleet Agent. How can I do this?

See Configuring Network Resources for Recovery Service to configure network resources in OCI to set up the network for Cloud Protect Fleet Agent.

Does Oracle Database Appliance manage the OCI API keys of the database user that are used for authentication?

No, Oracle Database Appliance does not manage the OCI API keys of the database user. The database user must manage the OCI API keys manually.

Does restart of the Oracle Database Appliance nodes affect the backups taken by the Cloud Protect Fleet Agent?

Yes, the automated backup jobs scheduled by the Cloud Protect Fleet Agent are affected by restart of the Oracle Database Appliance nodes. The `SQLcl` process responsible for running the automated backup jobs is stopped after the node is restarted. You must restart the `SQLcl` process manually after the node is restarted.

When I try to onboard a TDE database that uses Oracle ASM storage type using Cloud Protect Fleet Agent, it fails with the error: ASM wallets are not supported. Please configure the TDE wallet using ACFS, regular file system, or external keystore manager like OKV or OCI KMS. Is this error expected?

Yes, this error is expected, as the Cloud Protect Fleet Agent does not currently support onboarding a TDE database when the TDE wallet is stored on Oracle ASM. This limitation is being tracked with bug 38336465.

Do ODACLI commands provide options to backup and recover to Recovery service on OCI?

No. The handling of backup and recovery is performed by Cloud Protect Fleet Agent. ODACLI commands do not support any option for this purpose. See https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/recovery-service/doc/add-premises-database-recovery-service-using-cloud-protect.html on how to use Cloud Protect Fleet Agent.
