8 Backup and Recovery

This chapter provides high-level information to perform backup and recovery on the Exalytics Machine. Backup and recovery refers to the various strategies and procedures involved in guarding against hardware failures and data loss and in reconstructing data should loss occur.

On the Exalytics Machine, you perform backup and recovery both for Oracle Business Intelligence and TimesTen, as described in the following list:

• Backup and recovery for Oracle Business Intelligence is described in "Backup and Recovery Recommendations for Oracle Business Intelligence" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide.

• Backup and recovery for TimesTen is described in "Backing up and restoring a database" in Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Installation Guide.

  In addition, if data was updated since the last backup, then run the aggregate scripts again after recovering the data. For information, see "Using Oracle BI Summary Advisor to Identify Query Candidates for Aggregation" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Metadata Repository Builder's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition.
