Oracle Database Administration II — Question 46

Which two are true about RMAN encryption? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. RMAN encryption keys are stored in a database keystore.
• B. RMAN can encrypt the Oracle Database password file.
• C. Dual-mode encrypted backups can be restored only if both the password and the keystore used for encryption are available.
• D. The SET ENCRYPTION command overrides encryption settings specified by the CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION command.
• E. Password encryption can be persistently configured using the CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION command.

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

Option A is correct because RMAN encryption keys are indeed stored in a database keystore. Option D is also correct since the SET ENCRYPTION command will override any previous settings made by the CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION command. Options B, C, and E are incorrect as they either misrepresent RMAN capabilities or the nature of encryption settings.
