Replication of Oracle Archive Logs with RDS
How to replicate Oracle Archive Logs with RDS:
Replicate Oracle transaction information logs between two or more locations on a regular basis for backup and disaster recovery.
Transfer the minimum of content required, in the least amount of time.
Configure your Oracle Database:
Setup your Oracle Database to ARCHIVELOG mode.
[Archived log files are redo logs that have been filled with redo, made inactive and copied or archived to a backup location.
The set of redo log files for a database is collectively known as the database's redo log. Oracle uses the redo log to record all changes made to data. The information in a redo log file is used only to recover the database from a system or media failure that prevents database data from being written to a database's datafiles].
When in ARCHIVELOG mode, the database can be completely recovered from both instance and disk failure. The database can also be backed up while it is open and available for use.
Configure RDS to:
Define an upload replication job from the server where the Oracle database resides, to the backup server.
Schedule the job to run at the end of each day or at any time interval required. The replication will be submitted unattended through background processes, regardless of whether the user who defined the job is actively logged on.
Enable the Differential Transfer option, to send only the data appended to the log files.
Use e-mail notification, to notify the administrator as to the status of the replication. (Optional)
NOTE: RDS can be used to replicate only Oracle Archived Logs. It CANNOT be used to replicate Oracle Control Files.
