Five backup modes (dump, rman, rman_sbt, cdp, replicate) covering Oracle 11g R2 through 23ai. SBT v2 (libobk-rs.so) is written in Rust — RMAN streams straight into Bacula with no local staging. Block-hash ransomware canary, Prometheus observability, cgroups-v2 I/O throttling.
What it does
- RMAN-SBT zero-staging — RMAN writes straight to Bacula via libobk-rs.so — no local scratch space.
- Archivelog CDP — Continuous archivelog shipping daemon with RPO tracking and Prometheus metrics.
- DR replicate — Active Data Guard or archivelog-apply automated via RMAN DUPLICATE FROM ACTIVE DATABASE.
- Anti-ransomware — Block-hash mass-change canary catches encryption sweeps before the backup persists damage.
