Pre-requisites for Archive-to-Cloud

The following prerequisites must be met before starting to use cloud storage with the Recovery Appliance.

  • Protected database(s) should already be enrolled and backups taken to the Recovery Appliance.

    This is covered in Configuring Recovery Appliance for Protected Database Access. Brief review:
    • Create a virtual private catalog user.
    • Enroll the protected database.
    • Update the properties for the protected database.

  • The Recovery Appliance has been registered and enrolled at an Oracle Key Vault.

  • Archive-to-cloud features are only supported on small endian databases. Only Linux and Windows.

    Big endian databases that attempt to archive-to-cloud cause error ORA-64800: unable to create encrypted backup for big endian platform, because the operation cannot create encrypted backup for big endian platforms.
