A consistent online backup includes the data and the offline redo logs that are generated during the data backup. When you perform a backup on a consistent online data subclient, the data is consistent because the offline redo log files created by BRBACKUP backed up with the database files on the same volume. The logs that are part of the consistent online backup are part of the data backup and included in the BRBACKUP summary file.
You can perform either a full backup or incremental backup of the SAP for Oracle database when it is online.
The following table describes the available backup interfaces.
|
