Review the current limitations and unsupported actions for Oracle Database workloads in NetApp Backup and Recovery.

The following actions are not supported for Oracle Database workloads in the preview release of NetApp Backup and Recovery:

  • After you perform an incomplete recovery by restoring a database to a specific point in time or SCN, if you later need to restore to a point before that recovery, you must also select Control files in the restore destination settings. Without restoring the control file, the database cannot be restored to a point earlier than the previous incomplete recovery.

  • In the Backup and Recovery preview release for NetApp Console local deployment, backups to object storage are supported only for ONTAP S3 and StorageGRID destinations. Backup archiving is not supported in this preview release.

  • Offline backups

  • Restoring a database that is currently a standby in an Oracle Data Guard configuration to the original location is currently not supported. Restore it to an alternate location instead.

  • Oracle Data Guard configurations that use RAC, and Oracle Active Data Guard configurations are not supported.
