Backup Strategy in Place

HighLevel 1Manual reviewoceanbase

Description

A backup strategy should be in place.

How it is checked

Audit method: Manual review

This recommendation cannot be checked automatically. A scan lists it with these instructions when you pass --include-manual.

Verify that a backup strategy exists and is actively configured for OceanBase tenants: - If OceanBase Cloud Platform (OCP) is used, review the backup policies and schedules configured in OCP for each production tenant. Confirm that backups are scheduled at an appropriate frequency (e.g., daily) and that recent successful backup jobs are recorded in the OCP job history.

How it is fixed

Fix method: Guidance or infrastructure patch

Establish a formal backup strategy aligned with business continuity requirements: - Define backup scope (which tenants/databases), frequency, retention period, and storage location. - If using OCP, configure automated backup policies through the platform's backup management interface. - If not using OCP, implement and document a repeatable backup procedure using supported OceanBase tools, and schedule it via cron or orchestration systems.
