Backing up Storage

When creating a desktop pool in Secure Desktops, the desktop administrator can optionally select an Oracle defined backup policy to apply to the Block Volumes for desktop storage.

If you select a backup policy, the Block Volumes service backs up the volumes within the desktop pool. You cannot change the backup policy after creating the desktop pool.

Oracle defined backup policies include Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Each policy is comprised of schedules with a set backup frequency and a retention period that you cannot modify. See Oracle Defined Backup Policies to learn more about these policies.

Note

Secure Desktops does not currently support user defined backup policies.

For information about selecting the backup policy during desktop pool creation, see Creating a Desktop Pool.
