Oracle Backup Destination

When you run the Daily Server and Database Hot Backup system jobs, the procedure to track the backup file and folder vary slightly from the manual process. 

To view the latest backup file name and the database location:

  1. Go to the %AGILIANCE_HOME%\backup directory and open the Oracle.backupfile.

    By default, this file retains the last 7 backups. The lastBackup property indicates the most recent backup folder.

  2. Open the latest dump folder from the directory%AGILIANCE_HOME%\backup. Refer to the propertylastBackup value and relate the value to the backup folder.

    The backup file is named using -YYYYMMDDhhmmss.zip, where the trailing characters in the filename are a timestamp of the backup date and time. This file normally contains the following back up and zip files:

    • The server backup file:server-YYYYMMDDhhmmss.zip

    • The Oracle dump file appears in the following form:<SID>-<schema_name>-backup-<value>.dmp.log For example, oracle-scott-backup-6.dmp.log.

  3. Open the fileagiliance.log using a text editor to view the database server location in which the backup file is present.
