How to Create Storage Containers on the Oracle Cloud
When creating a Database Cloud Service, you have an option to select “cloud storage” as a backup destination. In this case, the database backups will be stored in “storage containers”. As I see, lots of Oracle Cloud users have problem with setting up storage containers as backup destination.
It’s possible to create a storage container before you create the database service or you can create it while provisioning the DB service. Whichever method you chose, you should first set up the Replication Policy.
Go to the home page of “Oracle Storage Cloud Service”, on the up right side, you’ll see the action menu button (). Click on it and set the replication policy. Be careful about choosing the data centers and replication policy, because the replication policy can not be changed once it is set!
