You can use replication to perform incremental replication from a backup of a Oracle database to a synced copy of the Oracle database. The replication operation continuously applies changes from the source database backups since the last sync point.
The replication feature includes the following capabilities:
-
Automatically initiates replication after a log backup is completed on the source database.
-
Minimizes the impact on production systems' CPU and I/O by using the backup data for replication. This method avoids the need to read the source database again for replication.
-
Copies the backup data to remote destination sites with deduplication to minimize the wide area network (WAN) traffic. Replication then runs at the destination site.
-
Initiates replication after the auxiliary copy completes, when you use a copy precedence for replication.
