Purpose
Prerequisites
Syntax
Use the backup command to create a file system backup request. File system backups
are distinct from database backups, which are initiated by Recovery Manager
(RMAN).
Backup requests are held locally in obtool until you execute the backup command
with the --go option. Oracle Secure Backup forwards the requests to the scheduler, at
which time the requests become jobs and are eligible to run.
Backups made with the backup command are called on-demand backups.
On-demand backups run one-time-only and run either immediately or at a specified
time in the future. In contrast, scheduled backups run according to a user-specified
schedule, which you create with the mksched command.
Each time it performs a backup, Oracle Secure Backup records the name and attributes
of each file system object that it backs up. It writes this data to the Oracle Secure
Backup catalog, which is stored on the administrative server. Oracle Secure Backup
maintains a discrete backup catalog for each client in the administrative domain.
You must have the perform backups as privileged user right if you specify the
--privileged option. Otherwise, you must have the perform backups as self right.
