dbi services recommend following configuration:

• Archive logs and database backup stored in the Fast Recovery Area

  • bck_arc_fra.rcv

  • bck_inc0_fra.rcv

• Archive logs backup and database backups stored in a separate filesystem, but the Archive logs will not be deleted

  • bck_arc_no_arc_del.rcv

  • bck_inc0_no_arc_del.rcv

Archive logs and database backup stored in a separate filesystem (traditional way) is no more recommended and shall be avoided. However, following scripts are ready to use:

• bck_arc.rcv

• bck_inc0.rcv
