Manually backing up Oracle databases

Edit online

A manual backup performs a one time backup of an Oracle database.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the production server and use the database instance owner user ID.
  2. Change to the instance directory.
  3. Enter the following command: 
    acsora -f backup
    Table 1. Files used during a manual backup
    File name Description Default location
    acsora IBM® Storage Protect Snapshot production system executable file INSTANCE_DIR
    fcmcli IBM Storage Protect Snapshot production and backup system executable file INSTANCE_DIR
    profile IBM Storage Protect Snapshot profile ACS_DIR
    Note: Using some storage systems, the snapshot backup requires a certain amount of available space on the target storage pool, so that it can create the snapshot. If there is not enough storage space available, you can increase the capacity on the requested storage pool, or free up some items that are using existing capacity. Check the message for the exact amount of storage space that is required.
