Oracle Database Administration Cloud Backup and Recovery

Protecting your Oracle database is paramount for any Oracle DBA. This course equips you with the skills to safeguard critical data and information from potential failures. Learn how human error, hardware issues, and storage loss can impact your database and master the built-in technologies of Oracle 12c to prevent data loss.

You'll discover practical methods using essential Oracle database backup tools and technologies, including RMAN (Recovery Manager), Data Pump, Flashback technologies, and both hot and cold backups. We'll cover strategies to proactively address database crashes and ensure business continuity.

Here's a detailed look at the topics covered:

• Recovery Strategies:
  • Understanding complete vs. incomplete recovery scenarios.
  • Implementing point-in-time recovery for precise data restoration.
  • Identifying common failure categories affecting Oracle databases.
• Preparation & Backup Execution:
  • Preparing the virtual machine for optimal backup performance.
  • Performing user-managed backups – a comprehensive overview.
  • Restoring from manual backups – step-by-step procedures.
  • Utilizing RMAN (Recovery Manager) for full and incremental backups.
  • Recovering a PDB (Pluggable Database) and CDB (Container Database).
• Data Export & Import:
  • Exporting and importing data with Oracle Data Pump for efficient data management.
  • Performing logical backups with Data Pump for flexible data protection.
• Flashback Technologies:
  • Leveraging Flashback Query, Table, and Database for historical data access and recovery.
• Restore Points:
  • Creating restore points for simplified and reliable database recovery.

New additions include hands-on demonstrations and concepts for:

• Oracle Backup (RMAN):
  • Starting and connecting to the database for backup operations.
  • Backing up the database in Archivelog and NoArchivelog mode with RMAN.
  • Implementing Oracle database incremental backups using RMAN to minimize downtime.
• Oracle Backup (User-Managed Backup):
  • Taking cold backups and restoring them for offline data protection.
  • Taking hot backups and restoring them for minimal service interruption.
  • Restoring hot backups to bring the database back online quickly.

Master these techniques to ensure robust data protection and minimize the impact of potential database failures.
