Configure the following settings for Remote Backups:
Setting Description
Source Path
Click to select the folders to back up.
Destination Path
Enter the destination for the backup.
IP Address
Enter the IP address of the remote backup server.
Allow IP
Enter the IP addresses of data sources to allow
backups from those clients.

User Name

Enable SSH
Select this option if the server requires SSH.
Snapshot
If Snapshot is disabled, the data backup can fail if data
is written to or deleted from the DataGuard Appliance.
The Snapshot will freeze the file system when the data
backup will begin, so that changes to the data can be
tolerated while the backup is in process. Any changes
to the data that occur after the snapshot will not be
included in the data backup. Enable this feature if
the DataGuard Appliance will be used during remote
backup.
Schedule
Choose the schedule option and configure the desired
schedule for backups:
Disable—Disables remote backup
• Time interval by hour—Backup is done at the hourly
interval you choose from the drop-down menu
• Daily—Backup is scheduled at the time of day you
choose from the drop-down menus
• Weekly—Backup is scheduled at the day of the
week, at the time of day you choose from the
drop-down menus.
• Default—Disabled (no backup is scheduled)
Backup Method
Add Directory—Creates a new folder and transfers
the contents to this folder. The new folder is named
according to the Hostname and date of creation.
Copy—In the target folder, this overwrites existing
folders with identical names but does not effect other
folders that might be present.
Synchronize—In the target folder, this overwrites
existing folders with identical names and removes any
other folders so that the data contents are identical on
the client and destination folder.
