Welcome to Oracle Database Backup and Recovery, the second course in a three-course series. This course is designed to introduce you to the detailed backup and recovery concepts and methods associated with Oracle8. The first course in this series focused on the general concepts related to Oracle backup and recovery as well as the required Oracle8 structures and processes for backup and recovery.
This course examines the technical details of different Oracle backup and recovery methods that let you diagnose and troubleshoot database problems and failures when recovery is needed.

You will occasionally see the View Image or View Code buttons (as seen at left) when a graphic, table, or applet is too large to display in your course window. It will open a new window, above the current browser window, to display the new graphic. To return to your place in the course, simply close the window.
Applets:
Throughout this course, you will have the opportunity to use several Java applets: the MouseOver, FlipBook, and Simulation applets, as well as the Ordering applet.
Quizzes and exercises
You will find multiple-choice quizzes and hands-on exercises. These learning checks will allow you to assess what you've learned and, if necessary, know what lessons to go back and review.

Backup and Recovery Options & Methods is the second of three courses in the Oracle8 Backup and Recovery Certification Series.
Taken together these three courses will help you to plan and implement a backup and recovery strategy for your Oracle8 database.
