Backup
The integration provides online and offline database backups of the following types:
•
ZDB to disk
•
ZDB to tape
•
ZDB to disk+tape
To configure a backup, create a ZDB backup specification.
Archived logs can only be backed up in a ZDB to disk+tape, ZDB to tape, or non-ZDB
(standard backup) session. If you try to back up archived logs in a ZDB to disk session,
the session fails.
TIP:
Create a separate (non-ZDB) backup specification for backing up archived logs.
What is backed up depends on your selection in the backup specification. For details,
