Required IAM Policies

use autonomous-container-databases

Procedure

1. Go to the Details page of the Autonomous Container Database whose backup settings you want to change.

   For instructions, see View Details of an Autonomous Container Database.

2. Under More actions, click Edit backup settings.

   Tip:

   You can also edit the backup settings by clicking the Edit link under the Backup section on the Autonomous Container Database Information tab.

3. The Edit Backup Settings dialog opens.

4. If automatic backups are disabled for this ACD, enable them by selecting the Enable automatic backups check-box, and choose appropriate values for the following settings:

   Setting	Description	Notes
   Backup destination type	Select a Backup destination type and then specify options based on the selected type. The possible options are: Object Storage: Stores backups in an Oracle-managed object storage container on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. If you choose Object Storage as the type, you can optionally specify an internet HTTP proxy to use when connecting to the storage container. Oracle recommends using a proxy when possible for enhanced security. Network File System (NFS): Stores backups in a Network File System (NFS) storage location. If you choose Network File System (NFS) as the type, select a previously defined Backup Destination that uses Network File System (NFS) storage. Recovery Appliance: Stores backups in one of your previously defined backup destinations that use Oracle Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance. If you choose Recovery Appliance as the type, select a previously defined Backup Destination that uses Oracle Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance, the DB_UNIQUE_NAME of the Autonomous Container Database, and the VPC user name password. Provide the connection string that connects to the recovery appliance in an Oracle "easy connect" string format, that is, <host>:<port>/<service name>, where <host> is the SCAN hostname of the Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance. Local: Stores backups on the local Exadata storage. This option is only available if you have configured Local storage while creating the Autonomous Exadata VM Cluster. Once an ACD is created with a backup destination type anything other than Local, it cannot be changed to Local backups later.	APPLIES TO: Exadata Cloud@Customer only The backup destination type is set while enabling automatic backups on an ACD and can be changed later. At any given point of time, there can only be a maximum of two backup destinations associated with a given ACD. Note Once an ACD is created with a backup destination type anything other than Local, it cannot be changed to Local backups later. To configure backup destinations on a Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance location, or an NFS backup location for Cloud@Customer, see Prerequisites for Backup Destinations for Exadata Cloud at Customer
   Backup retention period (in days)	Specify a Backup retention period value to meet your needs. You can choose any value between 7 to 95 days.	On Oracle Public Cloud, the backup retention policy value defaults to 15 days. On Exadata Cloud@Customer deployments, the backup retention policy value is as follows: If the backup destination type is local, then the backup retention period is 7 days. If the backup destination type is NFS or Object Storage, then the backup retention period is between 7 days and 95 days as set by the customer. If the backup destination type is a Recovery Appliance, then the backup retention period is controlled by a policy set by the customer on the appliance. All the backups are automatically deleted after the backup retention period.

5. When finished, click Save Changes.
