Backup Tasks for Oracle

If you use Oracle8i as your database engine, the backup procedure has three steps.

1. Back up the master encryption registry key.
2. Back up your Oracle database

   Note: This topic describes the basic procedure for backing up an Oracle database. Experienced Oracle administrators may prefer alternative methods for configuring backup jobs.

   1. In the Oracle DBA Studio, launch the Backup wizard.
   2. Choose your backup strategy. This can be predefined, or you can define a custom strategy.
   3. Next define the backup frequency. A typical CA DataMinder database will be large and frequently updated, so we recommend that you choose a full back up of your CMS every week, with incremental backups every day.
   4. Specify what time the backups run. You can monitor the status of completed backup jobs in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Console.
   5. Specify the backup configuration. If you have already defined a custom backup configuration, you can choose that configuration now.
   6. Finally, choose the destination database for the backup job. In this case, submit the job to the CA DataMinder database.
3. Back up your CA DataMinder data folder.
