Backup data is kept on disk storage.  Backup Policy (Doc ID 1046592.1)

Oracle RMAN

• Used for short term backups (30 days retention).
• One full backup a week. For most customers, this is done on Friday or Saturday.
• Two incremental backups per week, usually on Tuesday / Thursday or on Wednesday / Friday.
• 6 backups of archive logs (transactions) per day.
• These backups allows for an exact point in time recovery to be performed.
  

Oracle Data Pump

• A full database export usually performed on Friday (weekly).
• 60 days retention.
• Copied on Tier 2 (local) and Tier 3 storage locations.
  

Oracle Data Guard

• All transactions replicated to physical standby databases in Data Replication sites.
  

Backup Restoration

• A database recovery is a billable service and requires a Statement of Work (SOW). Communicate with the Client Success Specialist (CSS / CE) for more information on creating this SOW.
• During a restore, all data on the target zone is replaced by the backup's. It is not possible to restore only specific entities; the whole schema is replaced when applying the backup.
• Any change or new data between the time the backup was taken and the moment the restore is applied is lost.
