Oracle Database Backup Configuration

Use the following guidelines when creating your Oracle database backup configuration in MyLiveVault for the LiveVault Online Backup and Recovery Service.

To back up an Oracle database:

• Create a separate Oracle database backup configuration.

• Select all directories and files that comprise this Oracle database, such as (but not limited to) data files, control files and log files. For example, in a default Oracle installation, this is usually:

  C:\orant\database\*

  The directory path shown indicates the path that would be specified for backup. Your directory path may be different from that depicted above; make the appropriate adjustments.

• We generally recommend setting your schedule to real-time backup, 24x7, so your changes are always being backed up. However, you can set any schedule you desire.

Important: It is important to back up the Windows Registry/System State for your computer. If you do not back it up, you will not be able to perform a disaster recovery, and you may not be able to restore your databases or applications. The Registry/System State is backed up by default as part of your Files and Directories backup configuration.
