Updated in May 2025. This course now features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course. Gain expertise in advanced backup and recovery strategies with this course designed to equip you with critical skills. You will learn to manage RMAN recovery catalogs, implement secure encryption methods, optimize backup plans with RPO and RTO strategies, and perform advanced recovery scenarios, including point-in-time recovery (PITR), cross-platform data transport, and handling corrupted blocks. The course begins by delving into the management of RMAN recovery catalogs, teaching you how to create, synchronize, and manage recovery repositories. Next, you’ll explore secure backup methods, including transparent encryption, password-based keystore, and dual-mode encryption, ensuring your backups remain robust and secure. As you progress, you'll learn best practices for database backups, including how to define effective Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) and Recovery Time Objectives (RTO). Advanced recovery techniques will also be covered, such as point-in-time recovery (PITR), restoring control files and server parameter files (SPFILE), and handling redo log losses. Designed for database administrators and IT professionals, this course is ideal for those with prior RMAN and database management experience. Its advanced focus provides valuable insights and hands-on experience to tackle even the most complex database recovery challenges.
