The Database resource in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Database service provides an optional auto_backup_window option in its API during creation (Terraform resource: oci_database_database).
The database resource can be used in an OCI Base DB system or Exadata Cloud VM Cluster pluggable database (PDB) for example.
The time window enum value selected for initiating automatic backup for the database system is available in twelve two-hour UTC time windows as the following:
| Slot | Description |
|---|---|
| SLOT_ONE | 12:00AM - 2:00AM UTC |
| SLOT_TWO | 2:00AM - 4:00AM UTC |
| SLOT_THREE | 4:00AM - 6:00AM UTC |
| SLOT_FOUR | 6:00AM - 8:00AM UTC |
| SLOT_FIVE | 8:00AM - 10:00AM UTC |
| SLOT_SIX | 10:00AM - 12:00PM UTC |
| SLOT_SEVEN | 12:00PM - 2:00PM UTC |
| SLOT_EIGHT | 2:00PM - 4:00PM UTC |
| SLOT_NINE | 4:00PM - 6:00PM UTC |
| SLOT_TEN | 6:00PM - 8:00PM UTC |
| SLOT_ELEVEN | 8:00PM - 10:00PM UTC |
| SLOT_TWELVE | 10:00PM - 12:00AM UTC |
Timezone used for the slots is always UTC regardless of the timezone used in the database.
For example, if the user selects SLOT_TWO from the enum list, the automatic backup job will start in between 2:00 AM (inclusive) to 4:00 AM (exclusive)
If no option is selected, a start time between 12:00 AM to 7:00 AM in the region of the database is automatically chosen.
