Add a
Cloud Tierobjective to an Oracle protection policy
You can add a cloud tier objective to a protection policy for Oracle centralized and self-service backups to cloud tier.
Prerequisites
Ensure that a DD system is set up for cloud tiering.
About this task
Both Oracle centralized and self-service protection policies support cloud tiering. You can create the cloud tier objective from primary and replication objectives. Objectives must have a retention time of 14 days or more.
Cloud tiering happens at 00:00 UTC each day. Depending on your time zone, this time may be within business hours and thus cloud tiering may impact available network bandwidth. Cloud tiering applies to both centralized and self-service protection policies.
