Oracle Database Backup Configuration

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