# Performing Oracle RAC Backups

You can back up Oracle RAC databases, log files, or Oracle RAC datafiles and tablespaces.

Note

Database log files are not deduplicated, even if a backup plan used to back up log files specifies deduplication.

You can back up the database when it is online or offline. If the database must be accessible and you have a small backup window, then run a series of online backups for different database portions.

## Procedure

1. From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Protect > Databases.

   The database overview page appears.

2. On the Instances tab, click the instance.

   The instance properties page appears.

3. To select a subclient, on the Subclients tab, click the subclient.

   The subclient properties page appears.

4. In the upper-right area of the window, click Backup.

   The Backup options dialog box appears.
