Backing up Oracle database resource groups

A resource group is a collection of resources on a host or cluster. A backup operation on the resource group is performed on all resources defined in the resource group.

1. In the left navigation pane, click Resources, and then select the appropriate plug-in from the list.
2. In the Resources page, select Resource Group from the View list.
   You can search the resource group either by entering the resource group name in the search box, or by clicking , and then selecting the tag. You can then click to close the filter pane.
3. On the Resource Groups page, select the resource group that you want to back up, and then click Back up Now.
   Note: If you have a federated resource group with two databases and one of the database has datafile on non-NetApp storage, the backup operation is aborted even though the other database is on NetApp storage.
4. On the Backup page, perform the following steps:
   1. If you have associated multiple policies with the resource group, from the Policy drop-down list, select the policy that you want to use for backup.
      If the policy selected for the on-demand backup is associated with a backup schedule, the on-demand backups will be retained based on the retention settings specified for the schedule type.
   2. Click Backup.
5. Monitor the operation progress by clicking Monitor > Jobs.
