As backup software for Oracle database, Handy Backup supports all versions of a DBMS: Oracle 18c, 12c, 11g, 11c and any lower . It automates standard data-keeping tasks such as organizing Oracle incremental backup, using common and specialized methods.

Backup Methods

Using the Oracle backup RMAN utility: Acting as a GUI over the ODBC or RMAN backup functions, Handy Backup allows both operating in a common environment for all backup tasks and also backing up Oracle data using only stable and reliable methods approved and tested by product developer.

Oracle 12c Backup and Recovery

Making Oracle 12c Backup Database with Handy Backup
