Oracle Database Autonomous Recovery Service provides an optimized policy-driven automatic backup and recovery system for the Exadata Database on Dedicated Infrastructure. It also offers a real-time data protection feature that enables protected databases with zero data loss recovery in the event of a database failure. Since Real-time data protection is an extra cost option, you can choose to enable or disable it.
