Backing Up Your Database Using the Oracle Suggested Disk Backup Strategy

The following procedure schedules daily database backups. The strategy uses incremental backups and incrementally applied backups to enable quick recovery to any time in the preceding 24 hours.

To backup your database using the Oracle-suggested disk backup strategy:

1. On the Database Home page, click Availability to display the Availability subpage.

2. In the Manage section of the Availability page, click Schedule Backup.

   The Schedule Backup page appears.

3. In the Oracle-Suggested Backup section, click Schedule Oracle-Suggested Backup.

   The Schedule Oracle-Suggested Backup: Destination page appears. On this page, you select the destination media for the backup, which can be disk, tape, or both.

4. Select Disk and then click Next.

   The Schedule Oracle-Suggested Backup: Setup page appears.

   This page describes the backups that are performed each day as part of the disk-based strategy.

5. Review the information and then click Next.

   The Schedule Oracle-Suggested Backup: Schedule page appears.

6. Choose a Start Date, Time Zone, and Daily Backup Time for the daily backups, and then click Next.

   The Schedule Oracle-Suggested Backup: Review page appears.

   Database Control displays the backup script that RMAN will run (although you cannot edit the script directly). The script should look similar to the following:

   Daily Script:
   run {
   allocate channel oem_disk_backup device type disk;
   recover copy of database with tag 'ORA_OEM_LEVEL_0';
   backup incremental level 1 copies=1 for recover of copy with tag 'ORA_OEM_LEVEL_0' database;
   }
   

7. Click Submit Job.
