Backup Operation

This task starts the backup_database script.

The following RMAN command has to be executed in the protected database and should be used for all RMAN backup operations.

Note:

When the script is run, the channel allocations indicate which Recovery Appliance is logged into and the Recovery Appliance database name.

1. Start RMAN

   $ rman target / catalog /@dr_rahadr

2. Start the backup_database script. If RAHADR1 is running, the script logs into RAHADR1. Otherwise, the script logs into RAHADR2.

   RMAN> run { execute script backup_database using 'Level1'; }
   
   executing script: backup_database
