A database replication solution keeps the data in the recovery database in sync with the primary database.

If you do not have a database replication solution, you can also use a database replication tool to back up the database files and then transfer the files to the recovery database server. The database replication solution helps reduce system down time when compared to the manual backup process.

Note

Check with your Oracle Database administrator for the appropriate database replication solution or tool. You must use an Oracle-certified database replication solution or tool.
