Introduction :
Oracle database automated backups are stored in Oracle Managed Object Store Buckets in OCI. This blog covers step by step process to download the database backup from OCI storage.
Step 1: Download MV2Bucket
Download the latest version of mv2bucket from Doc ID 2723911.1
Step 2: Install the MV2Bucket in target server
sudo rpm -i mv2bucket-2.0.2-4.el7.x86_64.rpm
Verify the package is installed in target server,
ls -l /opt/mv2bucket
Step 3: Download the Database backup
Create a folder to download the backup.
mkdir -p /u01/backup
Run the below mv2bucket command to download the backup from OCI storage to target server.
sudo /opt/mv2bucket/mv2bucket.bin get –dbuniquename <database unique name> –stage <backup location> –begin <Begin Date> –end <End Date> –incremental
Demo :
root$ sudo /opt/mv2bucket/mv2bucket.bin get –dbuniquename PROD_DB –stage /u01/backup –begin 20240221 –end 20240222 –incremental

Conclusion :
Automatic Backups are configured with a click of a button. The backups are stored in an oracle-managed bucket in the same region as the database. You can use the mv2bucket utility to copy the automatic backups to a customer-managed bucket in the same or a remote region.
