Request for Data Backup for the Decommissioning Environment
The customer can request for a data backup when their environments are decommissioned. The request can be submitted once Oracle sends decommission notification to the customer with a list of the environments being decommissioned. The backup can be requested for future use towards on-premises implementations or with cloud services. Remember, the cloud backups will be available for 60 days by default.
Request Specifications
The customer must specify the environment details (including URL(s)) in the service request.
The customer must specify the justification for the reason the backup is needed.
If data is needed for on-premise, then customer must specify the pre-authenticate object storage URL
In case of restoration customer can raise a request up to 7 business days in advance of the expiry of 60 days retention.
The environment where the backup would be restored to should have the same application version as that of the backup taken previously.
Please note that selective restoration will not be possible from backups. Full database restoration will only be possible.
