Backup and restore
Performing a backup saves all user-created data to a remote share from which it can be restored.
NOTE: It is recommended to perform frequent backups to guard against data loss and corruption.
Additionally, it is recommended to take a snapshot of ASM virtual appliance every time you perform
a restore (for more information, refer to VMware documentation).
