To restore an Oracle backup

Use this procedure to restore a database to the original location. Note that the existing database is deleted from the Oracle instance as part of the restore process.

1        Select an Oracle instance under the Oracle client in the Navigation pane and click Restore.

2        Select a Recovery Point Day from which the backup will be restored by clicking on the calendar. Available days display in bold.

3        Select a restore time and click Next (Select Options).

Select from available times in the Recovery Point Times table or by clicking a wedge of time on the 24-hour circle. The database instance to restore displays in the Type column.

4        In the Restore from Backup of Client pane, select Restore to Original Oracle Server and click Restore.

5        To confirm you understand that the existing database will be deleted and a new one created on the target server, check I understand... and click Confirm.

The Restore Status page indicates whether the restore has been queued successfully. Click Okay to close.

6        To monitor the restore job, select Settings > System Monitoring > Jobs.

     The restore job displays in the grid. In a successful restore, status changes from Queued to Active to Successful.

     If you see status Cancelled and job comment Share is unavailable, the restore could not run because a share has already been created for this instance and is in use by another backup or restore job. See Oracle share is unavailable to determine what process is using the share and how to proceed.
