Oracle Server Backup
Oracle Server Backup
Complete offsite backup of your company’s Oracle servers including encrypted data transfer for maximum security.
Oracle databases are increasingly relied upon to support the most critical business applications. These enterprise environments can be complex to manage and protect, while allowing little to no tolerance for downtime or data loss.
A reliable high-availability and disaster-recovery strategy requires effective data backup, restore and recovery procedures. To support these, Oracle offers Recovery Manager (RMAN), a built-in utility designed to deliver efficient and manageable backup and recovery capabilities for Oracle databases.
RMAN is a robust command-line tool that provides a comprehensive framework for backing up and recovering Oracle data efficiently. However, it does not include a graphical interface and typically requires an experienced database administrator to configure and operate it properly.
IDrive simplifies Oracle database protection by integrating RMAN into an easy-to-use solution that enables reliable backup and recovery without the complexity of managing RMAN directly.
