Before You Begin

 

 
 Before you begin, check the versions of major software components used in this setup, and review the product documentation for later reference

 

 
 
Review Software Requirements

 

 

 
 
- Oracle Database 19.18 and above, or 21.8 and above
 
 
- Oracle Base Database Service 
 
 

 

 
 
Review Documentation

 

 

 
 
- Introducing the Oracle Database Zero Data Loss Autonomous Recovery Service 
 
- About Oracle Database Autonomous Recovery Service 
 
- "Back Up and Recovery in Base Database Service" in Oracle Cloud
 Infrastructure documentation 
 
 

 

 

 
 
Considerations for Configuration

 

 
Before you begin to configure backups and recovery, review these assumptions and considerations. 

 
 
- The virtual cloud network (VCN) where Oracle Base Database Service is configured, must route packages to the OCI Services Network (where Recovery
 Service is configured) via a service gateway.
 
 
- There are two types of backups: Oracle managed backups and unmanaged backups. Oracle managed backups are configured using the OCI console or REST API. Unmanaged backups are configured using dbaascli or RMAN .
 
 
- This playbook uses Oracle managed backups to Recovery
 Service . Unmanaged backups are out of scope of this playbook.
 
 
- Combining Oracle managed backups and unmanaged backups is not supported. 
 
- The Recovery
 Service enables databases to restore to the last known good state with minimal data loss, to a specific timestamp, or SCN. The OCI console, however, does not support restoring a database from a specific backup from the list of backups displayed in the interface. Although it's not possible to restore a database from a backup in this list, the list of backups can be used as a reference as to what data is currently available to restore the database.
 
 
- The OCI console cannot restore a particular pluggable database (PDB) . Only the full container database (CDB) can be restored.
