Reviewing the other backup types

Other backup types include:

A Duplicate Database backup lets you duplicate or clone a source database for special purposes that must not affect the overall backup and restore procedures for the source database. RMAN supports duplicating databases to increase a DBA’s flexibility when performing the following tasks:

For example, you can duplicate the production database on hostA to hostB, and then use the duplicate database on hostB to practice restoring and recovering this database without damaging the production database.

The plug-in’s support for Oracle’s Database Duplication is backup-based duplication. For additional information on Oracle’s Duplicate Database functionality, see Duplicating a Database in the Oracle Database Backup and Recovery User’s Guide.

Flash Recovery Area (FRA) backups

Oracle introduced FRA in Oracle 10g. FRA is a disk location used to store recovery-related files such as Control Files, archived redo logs, and RMAN backups. Oracle and RMAN manage the files in the FRA automatically.

An FRA minimizes the need to manage disk space manually for backup-related files and balance the use of space among the different types of files stored in the FRA. In this way, FRA simplifies the ongoing administration of your database. Oracle recommends that you enable a recovery area to simplify backup management.

Enabling FRA can speed up restores by enabling RMAN to restore the needed datafiles from the FRA versus restoring the files from backup media managed by NetVault Backup server. However, storing backups in the FRA does not provide you with offsite protection for disaster recovery protection. Therefore, the plug-in provides the following Backup Destination options when FRA is enabled for the database:

Additionally, the plug-in lets you perform a separate backup of the backup recovery files stored in the FRA-to-backup media managed by NetVault Backup server. Backup recovery files include: Full and Incremental Backup sets, Control File Autobackups, datafile copies, and archived redo logs. If an archived redo log file is missing or corrupted, RMAN looks outside the recovery area for a good copy of the log that it can use for the backup. Flashback logs, the current Control File, and online redo logs are not backed up.

Developing a Recovery Catalog backup strategy

The Recovery Catalog database is similar to any other database, and must be a key part of your backup-and-recovery strategy.

Oracle recommends that you back up the Recovery Catalog with the same frequency that you back up the target database. For example, if you make a weekly whole-database backup of the target database, back up the Recovery Catalog immediately after all target database backups to protect the record of the whole-database backup. This backup can also help you in a disaster recovery scenario. Even if you have to restore the Recovery Catalog database using a Control File Autobackup, you can then use the full record of backups in your restored Recovery Catalog database to restore the target database without using a Control File Autobackup for the target database.

Oracle recommends the following guidelines for an RMAN backup strategy for the Recovery Catalog database:

Run the Recovery Catalog database in ARCHIVELOG mode so that PIT Recovery is possible.
Configure the Control File Autobackup feature to ON.

Examples of backup sequences

Following are a few examples of backup sequences that can be implemented to meet the data protection requirements of your Oracle Database Server.

Full Backups only: When requirements guarantee data protection up to the previous day, performing Full Backups daily should be sufficient. DBAs are only required to recover the database up to the point of the last Full Backup.
Full Backup and Archived Log Backups: When requirements mandate PIT data protection but recovery time is not important, Full Backups coupled with Archived Log backups should provide the necessary protection.
Incremental Level 0 and Differential Incremental Level 1 and Archived Log Backups: When requirements mandate PIT data protection and backups have to be as fast as possible, Incremental Level 0 and Differential Incremental Backup and Archived Redo Log backups are an ideal strategy.
Incremental Level 0 and Cumulative Incremental Level 1 and Archived Log Backups: When requirements mandate PIT data protection and recovery time should be as fast as possible, Incremental Level 0 and Cumulative Incremental Level 1 and Archived Log backups are the best combination.
