Description

Hi team ,
could you show me the oci cli command to create a separate database backup for a database that has automatic backup disabled (example: in our exacc , all Dbs are backed up to to NFS location) .

Things to keep in mind:

  • We shouldn't break the backup cycle already in place (so this backup is a standalone backup)
    and how to get the backup id once done?

Second part of my question:

  • When backup is generated , the aim is to create a new database in another cluster from that backup :
    oddly enough there are 2 options but which command should be used through oci cli in exa@CC :
oci db database create-from-backup [OPTIONS]

OR

oci db database create-database-from-backup [OPTIONS]

Thank you

Start with the OCI CLI database command help and documentation for standalone backups, including how to retrieve the backup ID. Compare the documented create-from-backup and create-database-from-backup commands for Exadata Cloud@Customer, then clarify which workflow applies without disrupting existing backups.
