Zero Data Loss Autonomous Recovery Service

Real-time data protection

Recovery Service preserves recoverability up to the last committed transaction even if connectivity with protected databases is interrupted in-between typical log switch occurrences. If the redo stream terminates unexpectedly, Recovery Service closes the incoming redo stream and creates a partial archived redo log file backup. When Recovery Service detects the redo stream has restarted, all missing archive redo log files are automatically retrieved from the protected database, thereby keeping your recovery window intact.

Continuous recovery validation

Enhance your resilience posture with validation extending well beyond backup integrity checks to what’s needed for successful point-in-time database recovery.

Autonomous Recovery Service delivers unique recovery readiness capabilities with multi-factor, database recovery-aware validation at every touch point, which includes periodic recovery validation for backups at rest—automatically and without overhead on production database servers.

Immutability

Built-in retention defaults and user-defined policies help you consistently meet service level agreements and compliance requirements for backup retention, including a 14-day minimum recovery window safeguarding retention from human error or malicious bad actors. If a protected database is terminated (deleted), Recovery Service automatically retains its backups for a minimum of 72 hours providing a safety net for accidental database deletion scenarios.

All protected databases are associated with a protection policy defining how the backup is managed throughout its lifecycle, including replication, retention (point-in-time recovery window), and retention lock settings for backup immutability.
