Using the Oracle Restore Wizard

When you run the Oracle Database Restore wizard, Veeam Backup Free Edition automatically extracts an Oracle database from the storage snapshot and opens it in Veeam Explorer for Oracle.

As part of this procedure, Veeam Backup Free Edition performs the following actions:

1. Veeam Backup Free Edition creates a clone/virtual copy of the storage snapshot and mounts the clone/virtual copy to an ESX(i) host.
2. Veeam Backup Free Edition accesses the configuration file of the virtualized Oracle server (VMX) on the snapshot clone/virtual copy and uses this configuration file to register a temporary VM on the ESX(i) host.
3. Veeam Backup Free Edition mounts disks of the Oracle server to the temporary VM.
4. Veeam Backup Free Edition locates the Oracle database and attaches the database to a staging Oracle server.
5. Veeam Backup Free Edition opens the database in Veeam Explorer for Oracle.

Before you restore an Oracle database from the storage snapshot, check prerequisites. Then use the Oracle Database Restore wizard to restore the Oracle databasea.

1. Launch the Oracle Database Restore wizard
