For a Windows-based Oracle server, do the following:

1. In the Server name field, specify a server name to which you want to restore data.
2. In the Specify user account to connect to server section, select one of the following:

• Use current account. To connect to the specified server using the current user account under which Veeam Explorer for Oracle is running.
• Use the following account. To connect to the specified server under a custom user account.

For more information on the required user account settings, see the Permissions section.

Linux-Based Oracle Server

For a Linux-based Oracle server, do the following:

1. In the Server field, specify the DNS name or IP address of the target Oracle server.
2. In the SSH port field, specify the port number of the selected Oracle server.
3. In the Account field, specify an account under which to connect to the specified server. For more information on the required user account configuration, see the Permissions section.
4. In the Password field, enter the password.
5. If you have specified a non-root account that does not have root permissions on the target server, click Advanced to grant sudo rights to this account.

1. To provide a non-root user with root account privileges, select the Elevate specified account to root check box.
