Specifying the server

Working with backup sets : Oracle database backup sets (Windows or Linux) : Creating an Oracle database backup set (Linux DS-Client) : Specifying the server

1. On the Select the source for this backup set page, in the Path box, type the IP address of the Oracle server you want in the following format:

Oracle Server\<IP Address>

The Ask for database credentials option is selected by default. You will be prompted to provide database credentials.

2. Click Next.

3. In the Enter Database Credentials dialog box, type a valid user name and password for the database server.

• Type the service name in the corresponding field. This is the name of the Oracle service database you wish to back up. The Service Name is the TNS alias that is specified in the “tnsnames.ora” file on your Oracle client.

For Oracle 12c databases:

• If you provide the service name defined at CDB-level, you will be able to browse the entire container database (Root and all pluggable databases).

• If you provide the service name defined at PDB-level, you will be able to browse that specific pluggable database only.
