Oracle Database Administration from Zero to Hero - Practice - Automating RMAN Backup Jobs (Part 2 of 2)

This video tutorial guides viewers through the process of setting up and automating database backups using RMAN on a Windows VM in Oracle VirtualBox. It covers taking snapshots, creating and configuring backup scripts, and using Task Scheduler for automation. The tutorial also includes testing the backup task and verifying the results, concluding with a summary of the practice and key learnings.

What is the first step before starting the backup process on the Windows VM?

• Create a new folder for scripts

• Take a snapshot of the VM

• Open SQL Plus

• Log in to the database as sysuser

What should you do after creating the 'scripts' folder in the FRA?

• Run the Task Scheduler

• Take a snapshot of the VM

• Log in to the database

• Change the settings to show file extensions

Which file should be created to execute RMAN commands?

• backup.bat

• rman.bat

• oracle.bat

• task.bat

What is the purpose of the Task Scheduler in this process?

• To automate the execution of the backup script

• To create a snapshot of the VM

• To log in to the database

• To edit the RMAN script

Which option should be selected to ensure the task runs regardless of user login status?

• Run whether user is logged on or not

• Run as administrator

• Run only when user is logged on

• Run with highest privileges

What indicates that the RMAN backup task executed successfully?

• The VM shuts down automatically

• The look file shows no errors

• The Task Scheduler shows a 'failed' status

• The database is restored from a snapshot

What is the final step after verifying the backup task?

• Delete the backup files

• Log out of the database

• Create a new backup script

• Restore the VM from its snapshot
