Oracle Database 11g: Backup & Recovery Course

Course Code: RT 514
Course Abstract:

As the complexity and sophistication of the enterprise-wide database platform for an organization grows, so does the need for a state-of-the-art backup and recovery strategy. Recovery of contemporary databases goes far beyond the relatively limited tasks of years ago. Traditional strategies involved protecting data against failure, and in the event of a failure, recovering all the lost data.

Today one needs to employ far more elaborate techniques. Regulatory compliance requirements call for data preservation through archival backups. Application testing and migration, among other scenarios, requires database duplication and cloning. Strategies to optimize and tune backup and recovery considering availability demands and large data volumes are also needed. And traditional problem-solving for data corruption, media failure, data loss and the like remain necessities.

Certification Examination
This course along with its prerequisites cover information necessary to complete the certification test Exam #1Z1-053 Oracle Database 11g: Administration II.

Audience: This course is designed for individuals who are Oracle database administrators who will be specialists in backup and recovery duties. Oracle web server and application server administrators, as well as others who must manage an embedded repository database using Oracle database technology will also find this information useful. This course is also recommended for technical consultants, support engineers, project managers and other technical management and support personnel.
Duration: 5 days
Learning Outcomes:

Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to:

> Use Oracle flashback technology to recover from user errors and from database failures, including flashback data archive and flashback transaction backout along with the Total Recall capability.
> Use advanced Enterprise Manager wizards and tools, including the integrated LogMiner, Flasback Transaction Backout wizard, database Recovery Wizard, Recovery Advisor interface, and others.
> Database instance recovery, tuning checkpoints, the Redo Log File Size Advisor and the MTTR Advisor.
> User-managed recovery scenarios, including recovery from temporary, read-only and index tablespaces.
> Automatically managed backup strategies and database recovery operations using RMAN and other database facilities. Complete and incomplete media recovery, including database point-in-time recovery and tablespace point-in-time recovery.
> Build upon basic RMAN capabilities with a centralized recovery catalog. Deploy standardized and consistent backup and recovery procedures throughout the enterprise by means of dynamic stored scripts and variable substitution.
> Optimizing backups for faster performance and parallelization of operations, employing compression algorithms and other strategies for efficiency.
> Data preservation through archival backups.
> Security through transparent and explicit encryption features.
> Duplicate databases for regulatory compliance, Real Application Testing database replay, test configuration and other purposes.
> Detect and handle failures and corruption, including the use of RMAN block recovery and the Data Recovery Advisor.

This course book applies to any operating system supported by the Oracle database. In particular, the examples and notations within this course are based on the Linux/UNIX and MS Windows environments.
