Oracle Backup and Recovery

Oracle database is a major player of the global database management systems market. It’s translated into 63 languages and offers consumers very wide choice of products and services, lifetime technical support and many other benefits. However, it’s still necessary to perform backup of Oracle databases to be able to restore them in case of loss or damage.

With Handy Backup you can back up Oracle database in two different ways. There is a general Database Backup plug-in which backs up database tables through standard ODBC drivers, and a special Oracle Backup plug-in which gives more accurate results but can be used on a local PC only. This page describes the first approach. Learn about Oracle Backup plug-in...

The program provides you a wide range of options regarding Oracle backup – you can select backup destination, choose level of compression, set up timestamp formats (if you want to have multiple revisions of backups), select specific Oracle tables for backup, etc.
