Hi,
Is it possible to protect a VM with Oracle Database 11g Release R2?
I found only documentation for Oracle Database 12g.
Thank you.

Hi,
Unfortunately Azure Backup does not support backing up Oracle databases directly.
Support matrix for Azure Backup
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-support-matrix
You may however make use of the Application-consistent backup of Azure Linux VMs:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-linux-app-consistent
For backing up Oracle databases, please refer to the below documentation:
Back up and recover an Oracle Database 12c database on an Azure Linux virtual machine
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/workloads/oracle/oracle-backup-recovery
Best regards,
Leon
Azure Backup supports application-consistent backup of Azure Linux VMs, you may configure your Linux VM hosting the Oracle Database 11g to become application-consistent, and then you may take a backup of the entire VM as mentioned in the documentation for backing up the Oracle Database 12c.

Hi,
I am concerned about not being able to get back just the database using a procedure that is for a version above.
Or the Oracle DBA will need to adapt the procedure to version 11g using the same concept.
I believe it is more reliable to backup using RMAN inside the VM, to store on a disk.
Is it possible to back up only one volume or file from a Linux VM?
Thank you.
you can now exclude data disks and only backup selected volumes (in preview), see https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates/excludediskpreview/
