  • Extending a database recovery point at a disaster recovery site
    Patent number: 11263238
    Abstract: A DBA may pre-generate database recovery jobs on a convenient schedule at a local site, then recover a database at a disaster recovery site. Archive log files for the database that are generated in the interim between recovery job generation and recovery job execution are automatically incorporated into the recovery job when it executes, extending the recovery point closer to the time of the disruption that triggered the need or desire for recovery.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 14, 2017
    Date of Patent: March 1, 2022
