Glossary
active location
A location in a tape library or tape drive.
administrative domain
A group of computers on your network that you manage as a common unit to perform
backup and restore operations. An administrative domain must include one and only
one administrative server. It can include the following:
■ One or more clients
■ One or more media servers
An administrative domain can consist of a single host that assumes the roles of
administrative server, media server, and client.
administrative server
The host that stores configuration information and catalog files for hosts in the
administrative domain. There must be one and only one administrative server for
each administrative domain. One administrative server can service all clients on your
network. The administrative server runs the scheduler, which starts and monitors
backups within the administrative domain.
Apache Web server
A public-domain Web server used by the Oracle Secure Backup Web tool.
attachment
The physical or logical connection (the path in which data travels) of a tape device to a
host in the administrative domain.
automated certificate provisioning mode
A mode of certificate management in which the Certification Authority (CA) signs
and then transfers identity certificates to hosts over the network. This mode of issuing
certificates is vulnerable to a possible, although extremely unlikely, man-in-the-middle
attack. Automated mode contrasts with manual certificate provisioning mode.
backup encryption
The process of obscuring backup data so that it is unusable unless decrypted. Data can
be encrypted at rest, in transit, or both.
backup ID
An integer that uniquely identifies a backup section.
