To back up is to create a copy of a database or database objects on another device (typically a tape drive). Backups are performed using CA ARCserve Backup, the Agent for Oracle, and the Oracle RMAN backup features.
Using CA ARCserve Backup, the agent, and Oracle RMAN, you can back up a complete Oracle Server database or individual objects within the database. To back up a complete database, you configure the backup to include all of the objects contained in the database. Typically, you must back up a complete database when you first create the database or when you change the database structure. Tablespaces and other database objects require more frequent backups.
