Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2019 Developer Associate — Question 42

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 two steps can you take to determine the cause of the backup failure? (Choose two.)

Answer options

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

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

Option A is correct because having the database in NOARCHIVELOG mode can prevent certain types of backups. Option C is also correct since the dcsagent must be active for backups to succeed. Options B and D are not directly related to the backup failure and do not guarantee the resolution of the issue.
