Note:
Credentials are validated when you create the backup policy that uses
Oracle Object Storage. The credentials are not validated against the URL
and tenancy.
Advantages to using Oracle Object Storage are as follows:
• Backups are encrypted using the password for non-TDE databases.
Note:
Save the password that you use during backups in a safe location, you
must provide the password during recovery operations.
• Quick recovery from backups. With the Oracle Object Storage, you can safely and
securely use the Web Console to store or retrieve data directly from within
the cloud platform, at any time.
• Automate management of recovery related files (like archived logs)
• Oracle Object Storage is not directly accessed by the operating system, instead it
uses APIs to access the storage at the application level.
The following is a high-level overview of the workflow for backup and recovery when
using Oracle Object Storage:
Create an Object Store object with your credentials.
1.
Create a backup policy to define the backup location (Object Store), Object Store
2.
Credentials Name, the container (bucket) name where you want to store backups,
and the recovery window.
Create a database and attach the backup policy as part of creating the database.
3.
When the backup policy is associated with a database, backups are automatically
created.
Manage obsolete backups.
4.
Restore from backup. When you save your backups to Oracle Object Storage, you
5.
can restore the database to the same system or to a different system.
Recover the database from a backup on Oracle Object Storage.
