Q1. Describe three ways to backup an Oracle database
- Incremental backups – this method will store only blocks that have changed since the previous backup. This will allow backups to be more compact and will provide faster recovery.
- Binary compression – this method is integrated with Oracle Database and will reduce the size of the backups
- Automated database duplication – creates a copy of your database with various storage configurations, specifically direct duplication between ADM databases
