Basic Concepts of Database Duplication

 

Active Database Duplication In active database duplication, RMAN connects as TARGET
to the source database instance and as AUXILIARY to the auxiliary instance. RMAN
copies the live source database over the network to the auxiliary instance, thereby
creating the duplicate database. No backups of the source database are required.
Figure 24–2 illustrates active database duplication.

Backup-Based Duplication In backup-based duplication, RMAN creates the duplicate
database by using pre-existing RMAN backups and copies.
