Multicloud Oracle Database Backup Support

Recovery Service supports Oracle Multicloud Databases, and also provides the flexibility to store backups in the same cloud location where a multicloud database resides.

Recovery Service supports these Oracle Multicloud Database Services:
  • Oracle AI Database@Azure
  • Oracle AI Database@Google Cloud
  • Oracle AI Database@AWS
Review the permissions required for Oracle Multicloud Databases to use Recovery Service for backups.
Note

For an existing OCI tenancy, you must assign the permissions required for Oracle Database@AWS to use Recovery Service. For a new OCI tenancy, the same permissions are assigned by default.

By default, Oracle-managed keys and Recovery Service backups are stored in Oracle Cloud, so that the recovery assets are stored together to support resilient recovery. You can optionally override this default behavior for your Oracle Multicloud Databases.

If you enable the Store backups in the same cloud provider as the database option for a protection policy, then the policy-linked protected database and backups will be stored in the same cloud location where the Oracle Database is provisioned. For example, for Oracle AI Database@Azure, Recovery Service stores the associated protected database backups in Azure if you have selected the Store backups in the same cloud provider as the database option in the protection policy.

If you do not select the Store backups in the same cloud provider as the database for a protection policy, then the policy-linked protected database and backups will be stored in Oracle Cloud even if your Oracle Database is provisioned in a different cloud location.
