MOVE_BACKUP

This procedure moves one or more long-term archival backup pieces from the Recovery Appliance to an SBT destination.

The Recovery Appliance copies all backup pieces matching the specified tag to the location specified with the format and template_name parameters. After the Recovery Appliance copies each backup piece successfully, the Recovery Appliance deletes the backup piece from its original location.

Syntax

PROCEDURE move_backup (
   tag IN VARCHAR2,
   format IN VARCHAR2,
   template_name IN VARCHAR2,
   compression_algorithm IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
   encryption_algorithm IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
   comments IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL);

Parameters

Table 21-31 MOVE_BACKUP Parameters

Parameter Description

tag

The tag of backups to copy. The Recovery Appliance removes all backups matching this tag.

format

The naming format of the backup pieces to create. This parameter follows the same rules as the RMAN FORMAT parameter.

If not specified, default format is RA_SBT_%d_%I_<SBT_job_template_key>_%U_<bs_key>.

template_name

The name of the SBT job library template.

The Recovery Appliance copies the backup piece to tape (or cloud), using the media pool referenced in the SBT template name as the copy destination.

compression_algorithm

Specifies the compression algorithm

If compression_algorithm is specified, it will override the compression algorithm defined in template_name for this single operation. If template_name is NULL, it defines the compression algorithm for this operation.

BASIC: Good compression ratios with potentially lower speed than MEDIUM.

LOW: Optimized for speed with potentially lower compression raios than BASIC.

MEDIUM: Recommended for most environments. Good combination of compression ratios and speed.

HIGH: Best suited for operations over slower networks where the limiting factor is maximum network throughput. Provides the highest level of compression with the most negative impact on CPU performance.

OFF: No compression.

NULL: (default) indicates that the algorithm defined in the SBT job template should be used.

encryption_algorithm

Specifies the encryption algorithm

If encryption_algorithm is specified, it will override the encryption algorithm defined in template_name for this single operation. If template_name is NULL, it defines the encryption algorithm for this operation.

Valid values are 'AES128', 'AES192', 'AES256', 'OFF', 'CLIENT', or the constant equivalents ENC_OFF, ENC_AES128, ENC_AES192, ENC_AES256, ENC_CLIENT.

Note:

A value of CLIENT or ENC_CLIENT requires the client to generate encrypted backups. Failure to do so will result in cloud backup job failures on the Recovery Appliance.
