Backing Up a Database
Apply a backup policy to a database, create a manual backup, update a database
backup schedule, or update an archive log backup.
You can use the Web Console or the command-line interface to create a database
backup. In the command-line interface, use the command odacli create-backup
for a specified Database.
Before creating a database backup, you must have a backup policy. The backup policy
defines the recovery window and the backup destination. You must associate a
backup policy with the database, otherwise you cannot create backups.

1. In the Web Console, click the Database tab.
2. Click a database name to select a database from the list.
3. Review the database information, including the backup policy name and
destination details. To select a backup policy for the database, click Apply
Backup Policy. Select a policy and specify the Backup Encryption Password.
4. Click Manual Backup, Update Database Backup Schedule or Update Archive
Log Backup Schedule.
