Recovery Appliance Storage

Recovery Appliance uses the following types of storage:

  • Recovery Appliance storage location

    This Oracle ASM location is the main storage for backups on Recovery Appliance disks, serving as the destination for protected database backups.

  • Backup polling location

    An optional file system directory on shared storage, outside the Recovery Appliance, that is a destination for backup pieces and archived redo log files from a protected database. Recovery Appliance polls the directory at specified intervals, retrieves any found backups, and then processes and stores them.
