Consideration for protecting RDS Custom for Oracle assets
You can perform credential validation using the option, for the Oracle user.
You must disable the option in the Oracle policy, to run full backups of RDS Custom Oracle databases.
Full, Differential incremental backup, Cumulative incremental backup, and Archived redo log backup schedules are supported.
To perform Archive log backup, set the archivedLogRetentionHours to maximum value to retain archive logs for a maximum period on the client RDS Custom Oracle instance.
Do the following:
Create a text file named:
/opt/aws/rdscustomagent/config/redo_logs_custom_configuration.json.Add a JSON object in the following format:
{"archivedLogRetentionHours" : "num_of_hours"}The number must be an integer in the range of 1 - 840.
Locate the sample scripts for backup and restore, in the folder:
/usr/openv/netbackup/ext/db_ext/oracle/samples/rman/samplesCopy the sample scripts to a different directory on your client. Modify script for your environment.
Update the ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, and ORACLE_USER fields in the script.
Create a policy for the clients with the scripts option for performing cold and hot database backups using scripts.
Backup and restore are supported only with RMAN restore script.
Complete database restore and PIT database restore scripts are supported.
Disable deletion protection of the RDS custom Oracle databases for successful backup and restore operations.
For successful restore, move the RDS Custom Oracle instance in an automation paused state.
