Duplicating a Backup Policy
Make an editable copy of an existing backup policy. Both Oracle-defined and user-defined backup policies can be duplicated. Use the Console.
- On the Backup Policies list page, find the backup policy that you want to work with. If you need help finding the list page or the backup policies, see Listing Backup Policies.
- From the Actions menu (three dots), select Duplicate This Backup Policy.
-
On the Duplicate backup policy page, enter the following information.
- Name: Specify a name for the policy. Avoid entering confidential information.
- Duplicate into Compartment: Select the compartment to create the backup policy in. It doesn't need to be the same compartment as the backup policy you're duplicating.
- Cross region copy target: (Optional) Select a region to enable cross region copy. This function automates the copying of the volume backup to a second region that you specify after each backup is created. For more information, see Scheduling Volume Backup Copies Across Regions.
Select the checkbox to acknowledge the warning.
When you assign a backup policy with cross region copy enabled to a volume, you can optionally select Encrypt using customer-managed keys for Cross region backup copy encryption to encrypt the volume backup with a Vault key from the destination region. See Cross-Region Backup Copies for more information.
- Tags: (Optional) Select Tags to add tags to the backup policy. If you have permissions to create a resource, then you also have permissions to apply free-form tags to that resource. To apply a defined tag, you must have permissions to use the tag namespace. For more information about tagging, see Resource Tags. If you're not sure whether to apply tags, skip this option or ask an administrator. You can apply tags later.
- Select Duplicate backup policy.
