dataset | backup | restore | orabackup | orarestore

Description

dataset

A dataset job is a backup of a specified dataset. Oracle Secure Backup assigns a dataset job an identifier consisting of the username of the logged in user, a slash, and a unique numerical identifier. An example of a dataset job identifier is admin/15.

backup

For each dataset job, Oracle Secure Backup creates one subordinate job for each host that it includes. Oracle Secure Backup assigns each backup job an identifier whose prefix is the parent (dataset) job id, followed by a dot (.), then followed by a unique small number. An example of a backup job identifier is admin/15.1.

restore

Oracle Secure Backup creates a restore job for each backup image that must be read to initiate a restore operation. Oracle Secure Backup assigns each job an identifier consisting of the logged in username, a slash, and a unique numerical identifier. An example of a restore job identifier is admin/16.

orabackup

Oracle Secure Backup creates an Oracle backup job when the RMAN BACKUP command backs up database files. This job attaches to a parent job whose identifier is created by an Oracle Secure Backup user name, a slash, and a numerical identifier. The Oracle Secure Backup user name is the one that the operating system user is preauthorized to assume (see the --preauth option of the mkuser command). An example of a parent job identifier is sbt/15.

The job identifier of an Oracle backup job is created by using the job identifier of the parent job followed by a dot and a unique numerical identifier to identify each subordinate job. An example of an Oracle backup job identifier is sbt/15.1.

orarestore

Oracle Secure Backup creates an Oracle restore job when the RMAN RESTORE command restores database files from a backup image. This job attaches to a parent job whose identifier is created by an Oracle Secure Backup user name, a slash, and a numerical identifier. The Oracle Secure Backup user name is the one that the operating system user is preauthorized to assume (see the --preauth option of the mkuser command). An example of a parent job identifier is sbt/16.

The job identifier of an Oracle restore job is created by using the job identifier of the parent job followed by a dot and a unique numerical identifier to identify each subordinate job. An example of an Oracle restore job identifier is sbt/16.1.
