Backup and Recovery Scenarios for Oracle WebLogic Server: 10.3

The goal of this paper is to provide backup and recovery procedures for Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3 deployments. It discusses the mechanism, frequency, and mode for performing backups. It also provides the recovery steps for protection from the most common failure scenarios. One instance of Oracle WebLogic Server in each domain is configured as an Administration Server. The Administration Server provides a central point for managing an Oracle WebLogic Server domain. All other Oracle WebLogic Server instances in a domain are called Managed Servers. The Administration Server hosts the Administration Console, which is a Web application accessible from any supported Web browser with network access to the Administration Server.
