Table: Oracle backup types
Backup type | Description |
|---|---|
Application Backup - Script-based policy using streamed data only | The Application Backup schedule enables user-controlled NetBackup operations from the client. These operations include those initiated from the client and those initiated by an automatic schedule on the primary server. NetBackup uses the Application Backup schedule when the user starts a backup manually. Configure at least one Application Backup schedule for each database policy. The Default-Application-Backup schedule is configured automatically as an Application Backup schedule. |
Full Backup - Script-based policy | Stream-based backup: The specified script in the Backup Selections tab is executed. If the script is set up properly, RMAN initiates a full stream-based backup (full or incremental level 0). Note: The schedule properties (For example: storage and retention) are used. RMAN proxy backup: The specified script in the Backup Selections tab is executed. If the script is set up properly, RMAN initiates a proxy backup. Note: The schedule properties (For example: storage and retention) are used for the proxy portion of the backup. The schedule properties (For example: storage and retention) are used for the streamed portion of the backup. |
Differential Incremental backup - Script-based policy | Stream-based backup: The specified script in the Backup Selections tab is executed. If the script is set up properly, RMAN initiates a stream-based incremental level 1 backup. Note: The Application Backup schedule properties (storage, retention, etc.) are used. RMAN proxy backup: This backup type should only be used for BLI backups. If you do not use a proxy backup for a BLI backup, then a schedule should be used. The specified script in the Backup Selections tab is executed. If the script is set up properly, RMAN initiates a proxy backup. Note: The schedule properties (storage, retention, etc.) are used for the proxy portion of the backup. The schedule properties (storage, retention, etc.) are used for the streamed portion of the backup. |
Cumulative Incremental backup - Script-based policy | Stream-based backup: The specified script in the Backup Selections tab is executed. If the script is set up properly, RMAN initiates a stream-based incremental level 1 cumulative backup. Note: The Application Backup schedule properties (storage, retention, etc.) are used. RMAN proxy backup: This backup type should only be used for BLI backups. If you do not use a proxy backup for a BLI backup, then a schedule should be used. The specified script in the Backup Selections tab is executed. If the script is set up properly, RMAN initiates a proxy backup. Note: The schedule properties (storage, retention, etc.) are used for the proxy portion of the backup. The schedule properties (storage, retention, etc.) are used for the streamed portion of the backup. |
Full Backup - OIP Policy | Stream-based backup: Dynamically generates an RMAN script on each client for the instances and or instance groups that are defined in the Instances and Databases tab. The script initiates an Incremental Full (INCREMENTAL LEVEL 0) backup. RMAN proxy backup (Policy is defined to perform a snapshot): Dynamically generates an RMAN script on each client for the instances and or instance groups that are defined in the Instances and Databases tab to initiate a proxy backup. Note: The schedule properties (storage, retention, etc.) are used for both the streamed and the proxy data. |
Differential Incremental backup - OIP Policy | Stream-based backup: Dynamically generates an RMAN script on each client for the instances and or instance groups that are defined in the Instances and Databases tab. The script initiates a Differential Incremental (INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1) backup. RMAN proxy backup (policy is defined to perform a snapshot):
Note: The schedule properties (storage, retention, etc.) are used for both the streamed and the proxy data. |
Cumulative Incremental backup - OIP Policy | Stream-based backup: Dynamically generates an RMAN script on each client for the instances and or instance groups that are defined in the Instances and Databases tab. The script initiates a Cumulative Incremental (INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1 CUMULATIVE) backup. RMAN proxy backup (Policy is defined to perform a snapshot):
Note: The schedule properties (storage, retention, etc.) are used for both the streamed and the proxy data. |
Archived redo log backup - OIP Policy Only | The policy dynamically generates an RMAN script on each client for the instances and or instance groups that are defined in the Instances and Databases tab. The policy initiates a stream-based archive redo log backup. Note: The frequency is granular down to intervals of minutes. |
