You can enable or disable backup replication on a Autonomous Data Guard cross-region standby.

To enable or disable backup replication for an existing cross-region Autonomous Data Guard standby:

  1. On the Autonomous Database Details page, in the Resources area select Disaster recovery.
  2. In a row that lists a cross-region standby, click more actions at the end of the row and select Update disaster recovery.

    This shows the Update disaster recovery page.

  3. Enable or disable backup replication.
    1. If cross-region backup replication is disabled, select Enable cross-region backup replication to disaster recovery peer to enable the option.
    2. If cross-region backup replication is enabled, deselect Enable cross-region backup replication to disaster recovery peer to disable the option.
  4. Click Submit.

    The Autonomous Database Lifecycle State changes to Updating.

If you select Enable cross-region backup replication to disaster recovery peer, it can take between several minutes and several hours to replicate the backups to the remote region, depending on the size of the backups. After backups are replicated, when you select Backups under Resources on the peer database's Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console, you will see the list of replicated backups.
