Running the Oracle Secure Backup Windows Installer
3-10 Oracle Secure Backup Installation and Configuration Guide
Note:
■ You are required to create the oracle user only if you plan to use
Oracle Secure Backup with RMAN.
■ If you intend to use Oracle Secure Backup to perform one-time,
RMAN-initiated, or unprivileged backup operations on Windows
clients, then you must modify the
Oracle Secure Backup admin
and oracle users to assign them Windows credentials (a domain,
user name and password) that are valid at the client with required
privileges after you complete the Oracle Secure Backup
installation. Otherwise, Oracle Secure Backup cannot perform the
backup operation. This requirement applies regardless of the
platform that acts as the administrative server.
■ The installer assigns a random password to the oracle user. In
most cases you are not required to change the assigned password,
because it is not usually necessary to log in to Oracle Secure
Backup using this user account.
■ Before electing to create an Oracle Secure Backup oracle user, be
aware that this choice involves a trade-off between convenience
and security.
