IBackup allows you to backup
Oracle server databases to your IBackup account without interrupting the
already running Oracle server services. You can also schedule the
backups for a future date and time.
To backup your Oracle Server,
Login to the IBackup application and click the Server Backup tab.
Under Oracle Server section, click Backup.
Provide the Oracle Server authentication information when prompted.
Note: Ensure that the Oracle server user who has logged in has SYSDBA privileges. To grant the SYSDBA privileges to the user use the following command:
SQL>grant sysdba to user
Select the database(s) from the list displayed and specify the temporary local backup path.
Select Online Backup or Local Backup radio button, and click Schedule Now.
Note:
Ensure that the selected temporary directory on the local computer has sufficient disk space to hold the Oracle server backup resources.
Also, select the temporary location on the computer where the Oracle server service is running. If you are performing a remote/network Oracle server backup, then select the temporary location on the server where the Oracle server service is running.
The Schedule backup screen is displayed where you can schedule the backup for any future day and time or perform an immediate backup of the selected databases.
Note: For easy identification of the Oracle server backup set, the name of the backup set will begin with 'IBOracleServerBkset' followed by the Database SID (Database System Identifier) name that you have scheduled for backup.
For example: If the Database SID name is JOHN, then the name of the backup job would be IBOracleServerBkset (JOHN_DB).
You can consult your Oracle DBA for details on the configuration parameters.
