Backup and Recovery Commands

As discussed in earlier sections, some of the steps required for user-managed backup and recovery are implemented with operating system commands, some with Oracle’s SQL*Plus commands, and some with special-purpose Oracle backup/recovery utility commands. See the documentation for your particular operating system for information on the operating system commands.

The following sections summarize the syntax of the Oracle commands used for backup and recovery. These commands are common to Oracle across all operating system platforms. Most of the following commands are SQL*Plus commands. Note, however, that only the options that apply to user-managed backup and recovery are shown here; for complete SQL*Plus command syntax, see Chapter 12. For additional documentation on these other commands, see the index for the location of the complete definition and description.

Two of the commands listed here are unique to backup and recovery. Oracle provides the DBVERIFY and the OCOPY utilities to allow you to test the validity of a backup and back up raw Windows partitions, respectively. For detailed information on these utilities, see the Oracle documentation.
