by Oracle database backup service is cloud Storage Solution for your Oracle Database Backups. Oracle Database Backup Service provides a low-cost alternative for storing backups in an offsite location. It is an Oracle Public Cloud object-based storage offering that enables you to store your on-premises or cloud-deployed database backups.
If you are familiar with Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN), it should take only a few minutes for you to start backing up your database to the cloud. Here’s all you need to do:
- Download Oracle Database Cloud Backup Module from OTN Site
- Unzip opc_installer.zip file.

[oracle@Clouddb01 opc_installer]$unzip opc_installer.zip Archive: opc_installer.zip inflating: opc_install.jar inflating: opc_readme.txt mkdir wallet Library [oracle@Clouddb01 opc_installer]$mkdir wallet lib |
- Get the service name of your back up subscription. Loin to My services > Oracle database backup service.
- On the right hand corner, make a note of the service/Identity details from the REST Endpoint field.
- Open a putty session to the target DB server. Login as owner of the Oracle RDBMS software.
- Create 2 directories to store the backup module wallet and library.
- Execute the jar file to start the installation process.

The container is automatically created for backups with some random Name. To store backups in custom container, include -container parameter and the custom container name when you run the Oracle Database Cloud Backup Module installer.
Restore and Recover Test:
I deleted one data file and restored database from recent backups.
