Database Backup and Recovery (MOSC)

Database recovery from an archive backup + level1

We have an Oracle Enterprise database, release 19.11 running on RedHat Linux 7 - the database size is 3.5T

Our backup strategy consists of:

  1. Saturday archive backup (backup database tag WABMay27 keep until time 'sysdate+7' restore point WABMay27 ;)
  2. Sunday level 0 (backup incremental level = 0 filesperset=1 database;)
  3. Monday through Friday level1 (backup incremental level = 1 filesperset=1 database;)

All backups go to a local disk on the server. The Saturday backup is copied to tape and kept offsite.

We have now enough network bandwidth to move the level 1 backup offsite. So, the question we have is can we use these two backups, the archive and the level1, to recover the database?

Howdy, Stranger!
