View backups for an Autonomous AI Database

This page describes how to view backups for an Autonomous AI Database in Google Cloud.

Autonomous AI Database lets you create automatic backups of your data that can be used to restore lost data or provide protection against errors. Backups are highly available and are stored for the retention period defined in your Autonomous AI Database's settings.

In Oracle Database@Google Cloud, Autonomous AI Database backup retention is set in days and can range from 1 to 60 days, with a default value of 60 days. The retention period is set when you create a database and can't be modified in Google Cloud after creation. To modify the retention period in OCI, see About Backup and Recovery on Autonomous AI Database.

Backups beyond the set retention period are automatically deleted. Automatic backups are managed by Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and billed separately, in addition to database storage.

To see your database's backup settings, View database information.
