Getting Protection Policy Details

Use these steps to access information about a protection policy.

Using the Console

  1. On the Protection policies list page, select the policy that you want to work with. See Listing Protection Policies for details.

    The Protection policy details page displays the following information about the policy. Access the various resources associated with the policy by selecting their links or tabs.

  2. Review the information in the Protection policy information tab.
    • OCID - Select Copy to copy the OCID of the protection policy
    • Compartment - The compartment to which the policy belongs
    • Created - When the policy was created
    • Updated - When the policy was last updated
    • Policy type - Indicates whether the policy is Oracle defined or a User defined custom policy.
    • Backup location - Indicates the backup storage location for protected databases using this policy.

      The value OCI indicates that the backups will be stored in Oracle Cloud (default backup location). If the Backup location indicates Store backups in the same cloud provider as the database, then the backups will be stored in the same cloud location where the source database is provisioned. For example, if this policy is linked to an Oracle Database that is provisioned in Microsoft Azure, then database backups will be stored in Azure instead of Oracle Cloud.

    • Backup retention period - The retention period (in days) defined in the policy. The value ranges from 14 days to 95 days.
  3. Select the Protected databases tab to view the list of all protected database that are using this policy.
  4. Select the Work requests tab to view the work requests associated with the protection policy.
  5. Select the Tags section to view the tags applied to the policy.
