-
Select the databases that you want to include in the protection group.
Standby databases aren't listed by default. To list them, select Show Data Guard standby databases. If you select a database that is part of an Oracle Data Guard configuration, NetApp Backup and Recovery also adds the other database in the same configuration. It does this only if that database is discovered, can be protected, and isn't in another protection group.
-
Select Next.
-
Select the Backup policy to apply to the protection group. If the group includes Oracle Data Guard databases, use Data Guard settings in the policy to choose which databases are backed up. See Create and manage Oracle Database backup policies.
If you want to create a policy, select Create new policy and follow the prompts to create a policy. See Create policies for more information.

Select Next.

Review the configuration.

Select Create to create the protection group.

If you add the standby host after you create the protection group, edit the protection group and save it. NetApp Backup and Recovery adds the standby automatically. From the standby host, add only standby databases to the group. Another database from that host that needs a different backup type causes the backup to fail for that host. |

Deleting a protection group removes it and all associated backup schedules. You might want to delete a protection group if it is no longer needed.
