You can use the DB instances solution to perform backup and restore operations on Oracle RAC databases.
When you add an Oracle RAC database, you associate a server plan with the instance. The Commvault software automatically performs the backup operations needed to meet the recovery point objective (RPO), based on the backup frequency and backup window defined for the server plan.
Supported Backup Types
Command Center supports the following backup types:
-
Traditional full, incremental, and cumulative
-
IntelliSnap and IntelliSnap backup copy
Supported Restore Types
You can perform any of the following restore operations:
-
In-place restore
When you restore a database in place, you restore it to the same instance on the same RAC client from which the database was backed up.
-
Out-of-place restore
When you restore a database out of place, you can restore it to any one of the following destinations:
-
A different client than the one from which the database was backed up
-
A different instance on the same client from which the database was backed up
-
Database Clones
You can use the cloning feature to create a copy of the database using a full IntelliSnap backup, Application-Aware backup, or a block-level backup for a test environment. The system automatically shuts down the clone database and frees up all resources when the reservation period expires.
