Traditional Database Backup Best Practices

• Local disk backups

• Short term retention

– Example: 7 days

• Quickest RTO

– Image copy

– Backup Sets

• Storage tier based on data value & retention requirements

– Disk-to-Disk (Ex: 30 days)

– Disk-to-Tape (Ex: 90 days)

– Disk-to-Disk-to-Tape (EX:7-30-90 days)

• Tapes physically shipped to offsite (Tape Vaulting)

• Long term retention & Archiving (Ex: 5 yrs)

• Compliance, Regulatory & DR purposes

Local Backups On-site Tiered Storage Off-site Storage

5


Cost

Incurs capital expenditure to procure, higher operation cost to manage onsite & offsite storage infrastructure

Capacity

With explosive data growth, storage capacity planning for the long term retention is a challenge

Accessibility

With Tape-vaulting, offsite data is not immediately accessible

Infrastructure

Not everyone has tape infrastructure or remote (DR) site for taking backups and to store offsite

6

Challenges with Long-Term / Offsite Storage for Backups

Cloud Storage provides a great alternative !!

Client Side Cloud Side


Database Backup

Non-Metered (Classic/Subscription)

• All inclusive fixed price @ $33/TB/month • Standalone - Classic (or) combined with

DBCS non-metered services (Subscription) • Month-to-month or longer • Trial : Storage Cloud / 10GB

Subscription includes cloud storage, RMAN Module, RMAN Encryption, RMAN Compression and support

14

Oracle Database Backup Service – Subscription Models

Database Cloud

Metered Model (DBMB)

• Pay-per-use ($/GB) + Transfer & Request charges* • Cannot be sold separately • Included with Metered DBCS Subscription • Use with DBaaS / Exadata Cloud or from on-prem • 1 Year or longer term • Trial: DBCS / 500GB

* Metering is done only for capacity today.


Cloud : Database Backup Service

• Storage capacity subscription in the Oracle cloud for storing Database Backups

• Object Storage powered by OpenStack “Swift” based infrastructure

• Highly scalable infrastructure

• Data is protected with 3-way mirroring on different storage nodes on every write

• Data centers

• Terminologies

– Identity Domain: Domain in which the service will be provisioned

– Service Name: Service name. By default ‘Storage’ for non-metered

– Container: User created resource to hold objects

– Objects: Actual files (chunks of backup pieces) that are stored

Example:

https://storage.us2.oraclecloud.com/v1/myServic

e-myIdentityDomain/container/object


Cloud: Object Storage Details after Subscription

• Subscribe for the backup service

– Identity Domain

– Service Name (Storage)

– User ID

– Password

• Container is created

– Automatically or by the user

• Objects are created under the container

• Cloud access only via port 443 (SSL)

• Terminology

– Objects – Logical representation of stored binary data

– Containers – A named collection of objects

• Basics

– Objects are referenced by their canonical URL paths

• Protocol: HTTPS

• End Point:

https://<identitydomain>.storage.oracleclou

d.com

• Path: /v1/<ServiceName>-

<IdentityDomain>/<container-name>/<object-

name>

– Objects must reside within a Container

– Containers cannot be nested

– Objects and Containers can have arbitrary key/value properties

– Uploads are limited to 5GB but Objects can be any size


Client Side: Cloud Backup Module (RMAN Plugin) • Recovery Manager (RMAN) interface for backup & recovery

operation to Oracle Database Backup Service

• Download the RMAN plugin installer from OTN

• RMAN to be configured to use Oracle Cloud SBT library (libopc.so)

• Oracle Wallet is automatically created to store certificate & credentials

• RMAN plugin module operation:

– RMAN backup pieces streamed via the cloud module

– Cloud module only allows transmission if the backup is RMAN encrypted

Client: Database Cloud Backup Module Backup Data Cloud Objects

• RMAN streams backup data to the cloud via RMAN cloud module

• Cloud module chunks backup pieces into (100MB) and ships to the cloud

– Failed transmissions are retried automatically

– Multiple buffers (RMAN Channels) for parallelism

• Each chunk is stored as an object inside the ODBS user container

• Uses REST API calls – PUT,GET, POST, HEAD & DELETE over HTTPS

• Typical URL formation for every object – http://<identitydomain>.storage.oraclecloud.com/v1/<service>-

<domain>/<container>/<piece name>/<unique ID>/0000001, 0000002 ..

– Default container name : “oracle-data-[first 8 chars of service & domain]

– Creates manifest XML files in the cloud for metadata

DB Backup

Oracle RMAN

Oracle Database Cloud Backup Module

Customer data center


Client: Required Configuration Files for Cloud Backups File name Location / Creation Purpose

libopc.so User specified library location. Downloaded by the installer. SBT library which enables backup to Oracle Cloud

opc<SID>.ora Configured by the installer under $ORACLE_HOME/dbs Contains ODBS container URL location for the user and also the ODBS credential wallet location

cwallet.sso User specified wallet location during the RMAN module

installation. Oracle wallet which securely stores backup service credentials. This is used during RMAN backups and restore operations .

Wallet for encryption

(optional – only needed for TDE )

Either $ORACLE_BASE /admin/$ORCLE_SID /wallet (or) defined in sqlnet.ora / Existing wallet

Used for backup encryption. Existing Oracle wallet can be used (or) new Oracle wallet can be created using many methods.


Client: OPC Configuration File Run time configurations ($ORACLE_HOME/opc<sid>.ora)

Parameter Name Description

OPC_HOST REST destination URL Ex: https://mydomain.storage.orclecloud.com/v1/myservice-mydomain

OPC_WALLET OPC credential wallet location Ex: ‘LOCATION=file:/home/oracle/OPC/wallet CREDENTIAL_ALIAS=odbs_opc’

OPC_CONTAINER User specified container name Ex:PAYROLL_DB (Customer need to create that using tools like cloudberry until Oracle Cloud has GUI)

OPC_CHUNK_SIZE Specified in bytes. By default, 100MB. Not recommended to change.

_OPC_TRACE_LEVEL For debug purposes only. Set this parameter to – say 100 which generates more trace information in sbtio.log.

https://storage.us2.oraclecloud.com/v1/odbssvc-odbsdom

– If TDE is used (preferred), then simply use SET ENCRYPTION ON before backups and restores

– For password encryption:

SET ENCRYPTION ON IDENTIFIED BY ‘<password>’ ONLY;

– Before doing restore,

SET DECRYPTION IDENTIFIED BY ‘<password>’;

Backup to Cloud: Best Practices

Backup Service (Cloud)

• Make sure you subscribed for proper capacity (unmetered)

• Check for network throughput (Trials)

• For Metered Subscription, you have to create a Container to be used with DBaaS

• One container is enough to store multiple database backups

• Create additional containers if needed

Database Backup Strategy

• Consider size of databases and match with RTO/RPO SLAs for the backup strategy

• Perform weekly full + daily incremental to cloud

• Image copies to FRA Cloud

• Periodically run CROSSCHECK, VALIDATE and DELETE OBSOLETE

• Encryption: RMAN Encryption is mandatory (TDE, Password or Dual-mode)

• Don’t use CURL to manipulate RMAN backups

Optimizing Backups

• Compression: MEDIUM compression is recommended to reduce the size for optimal transfers

• Use Multisection backups (SECTION SIZE..)

• Try increasing RMAN PARALLELISM until you saturate the network throughput

• Try tuning TCP Buffer size to a larger value (1MB)

59


Considerations & Upcoming Enhancements

60

Considerations

• RTO and RPO requirements for each database

• Public network bandwidth availability

• Size of the database(s) to backup

• Choosing cloud as the proper storage tier for each database

• For non-Oracle Database backups like ORACLE_HOME, use Oracle Storage Cloud

Upcoming Enhancements

• Low latency / High bandwidth connectivity

• Backup via on-premises NAS Gateway to Oracle Cloud

• Integration with Enterprise Manager

• Integration with Archive Service

• and many more..
