A Oracle Secure Backup Directories and Files

This appendix explains the structure and contents of the Oracle Secure Backup directories. The following topics are covered:

Oracle Secure Backup Home Directory
Administrative Server Directories and Files
Media Server Directories and Files
Client Host Directories and Files

Note:

Some of the directories and files listed in this appendix are not created until after a backup has been performed by Oracle Secure Backup.

A.1 Oracle Secure Backup Home Directory

When you installed Oracle Secure Backup, you specified an Oracle Secure Backup home directory for the installation. The recommended defaults for the Oracle Secure Backup home are:

On Windows:
```
C:\Program Files\Oracle\Backup
```
On Linux and UNIX:
```
/usr/local/oracle/backup
```

The Oracle Secure Backup home directory is created on every host where you install Oracle Secure Backup, although the contents of the directory vary depending on the roles you assigned to the host.

A.1.1 Oracle Secure Backup Configuration File

Each host on which Oracle Secure Backup is installed contains a configuration file that records details of the configuration of Oracle Secure Backup on the host. On Windows, the configuration file is called obconfig.txt in the db subdirectory of the Oracle Secure Backup home. On Linux and UNIX, the file is called obconfig and is located in the /etc directory.

A.2 Administrative Server Directories and Files

An administrative server contains a set of executables and data files for each installed operating system.

This section contains the following tables:

Table A-1 lists the directories and files on an administrative server on any operating system.
Table A-2 lists the directories on an administrative server that are specific to Windows operating systems.
Table A-3 lists the directories and files on an administrative server that are specific to Linux and UNIX operating systems.
