Using the Oracle Restore Wizard

In this article

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

    As part of this procedure, Veeam Backup & Replication performs the following actions:

    1. Veeam Backup & Replication creates a clone/virtual copy of the storage snapshot and mounts the clone/virtual copy to the ESX(i) host.
    2. Veeam Backup & Replication 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 & Replication mounts disks of the restored Oracle server to the temporary VM.
    4. Veeam Backup & Replication locates the Oracle database and attaches the database to a staging Oracle server.
    5. Veeam Backup & Replication opens the restored database in Veeam Explorer for Oracle.

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

    1. Launch the Oracle Database Restore wizard
    2. Select a VM
