Scheduling Miscellaneous Backup Tasks

After taking some time to understand the full range of available backup options described in Oracle Database Backup and Recovery User's Guide you may decide to schedule backup tasks beyond those used to implement the Oracle suggested backup strategy.

To schedule miscellaneous backup tasks:

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 Customized Backup section, select the object to back up. For example, select Tablespaces or Archivelogs.

4. Make sure the host credentials have been filled in, then click Schedule Customized Backup to start the Schedule Customized Backup wizard.

5. On the following pages of the wizard, specify details such as objects to back up, and required options and settings. Click Next on each page to proceed to the next page.

   The choices presented on these pages are determined by the type of objects being backed up. For example, to backup a tablespace, on the first page of the wizard you would click the Add button to specify the tablespaces you want to include in the backup job. On the following pages, you would select the backup options, location, and schedule.

   For more information about using the wizard, click Help on any page.
