Update Disaster Recovery Type

Describes the steps to change to an alternative Disaster Recovery option.

Backup-Based Disaster Recovery is enabled by default for an Autonomous Database with one local peer. Disaster Recovery cannot be disabled for an Autonomous Database instance. However, you can choose to update your Disaster recovery type to Autonomous Data Guard. See Use Standby Databases with Autonomous Data Guard for Disaster Recovery for more information about Autonomous Data Guard.

To update the Disaster recovery type:

  1. On the Primary Autonomous Database, on the Autonomous Database Details page under Resources, select Disaster recovery.
