Oracle's Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance is an engineered data protection solution that protects transactions in real time, enabling you to recover databases within less than a second when an outage or ransomware attack occurs. Recovery automation, backup immutability, and a high-availability architecture help you meet organizational requirements to protect and rapidly recover crucial data.

Oracle Database changes are sent from database server memory to the Recovery Appliance, where they are logged in real-time, protecting customer databases with sub-second recovery point objectives.
Automated, incremental forever backups protect customer databases up to 50X faster than traditional methods, as described in the Energy Transfer video.
Recovery Appliance uses its knowledge of internal Oracle Database formats to validate the integrity of backups when received and during their creation, avoiding a common scenario where database backups are not recoverable. This is crucial for ransomware protection, where data can be infiltrated in any location without warning. Backups are the critical, final layer of defense to recover from a ransomware attack.
Tightly integrated with Oracle Transparent Data Encryption (TDE), Recovery Appliance TDE-aware backups are uniquely space-efficient, reducing storage consumption by 3X or more compared to other solutions.
Recovery Appliance automatically generates a virtual full backup at the start of the recovery process, enabling up to 8X faster recoveries compared with traditional approaches, as described in the Energy Transfer video.
Databases can be protected in offsite locations using built-in capabilities for archiving backups to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure or replicating them to remote Recovery Appliance systems.
“We just weren’t sure that we could avoid having to pay a ransom if hackers got in; Recovery Appliance gives us the confidence we were looking for. Our data is protected in real time, backups are continuously validated, and we can quickly restore to any point in time with zero data loss. This gives us the resiliency to say no to hackers—I’m pretty happy with that device.”
Abel Daitey, CIO, GCB Bank PLC
Effectively protect Oracle databases, continuously validate all backups, and mitigate the impact of cyberattacks with rapid database recoveries to any point in time.

Recovery Appliance offloads resource-intensive backup and recovery processes, such as periodic full backups and backup validation from database servers, freeing up CPU resources for production database operations.
Automatically protect database change data as it’s created and protect it with a highly available data-protection system to reduce the risk of short- and long-term data loss.
Consistently protect Oracle databases across the enterprise with customer-defined recovery policies, and use built-in monitoring to determine whether they’re meeting their recoverability SLAs.
Reduce the duration and financial impact of unplanned downtime with automated recoveries that take less time than with traditional backup and recovery appliances.
Provide zero data loss protection and fast, predictable recovery for your Oracle databases running in OCI, AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud with Oracle Database Zero Data Loss Autonomous Recovery Service.

One of the biggest threats to both individuals and organizations in the digital age is the threat of ransomware. This kind of malware encrypts the data of its victims, making it unreadable unless the attacker pays the ransom.
Protecting your databases requires understanding ransomware, how it works, and how to recover in the event of an attack.
