Hello~ ^^

I have a question.

When doing Oracle DB online backup, is the online redo log file backed up? 

 (including RAC)

Are you referring to Selective Online Fulls?  This backup type collects the data, logs and control file.

You can perform a selective online full backup on the following databases:

  • Oracle

  • Oracle RAC

  • SAP Oracle

A selective online full backup is a full backup that you perform when the database is online. A selective online full subclient includes the data, logs and control file. The backup is copied to a selective copy during the auxiliary copy operation, and you can restore it from the copy.  The advantage of a selective online full backup is that the data and logs use the same storage policy, which means that they reside on the same media and are self-contained for long-term archiving. You can use this backup in a disaster recovery, because you do not need to locate different offsite media from multiple jobs to recover the database.
