Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2020 Architect Associate — Question 45

You are running a mission-critical database application in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). You take regular backups of your DB system to OCI object storage.
Recently, you notice a failed database backup status in the console.
What step can you take to determine the cause of the backup failure?

Answer options

• A. Ensure that your database host can connect to OCI object storage.
• B. Ensure the database archiving mode is set to NOARCHIVELOG.
• C. Make sure that the database is not active and running while the backup is in progress.
• D. Don't restart the dcsagent program even if it has a status of stop/waiting.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as ensuring that your database host can connect to OCI object storage is essential for successful backups. Option B is incorrect because the NOARCHIVELOG mode does not directly affect backup failures related to connectivity. Option C is not relevant since the database can be active during backups in certain configurations. Option D is also incorrect, as the status of the dcsagent program does not directly relate to the cause of the backup failure.
