Oracle Database 11g R2: RMAN Backup & Recovery (3 day)

Description

All of the data within a database installation is at risk unless one has designed, tested and implemented a robust backup and recovery strategy. The objective of this training module is to assist you in doing just that. Furthermore, when a major failure occurs, a variety of recovery and troubleshooting techniques must be employed. The focus of this course is the Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN) tool. Additional facilities covered include the Data Recovery Advisor, Redo Log File Size Advisor and MTTR Advisor. It is tempting to short-cut appropriate backup procedures if they perform poorly, so special attention is giving to performance optimization.

This textbook can be used for advanced self-study, or for instructor-led training in both in-class or virtual-class environments. Textbooks can also be used for ongoing reference long after the course is completed.
