Creating the Oracle Secure Backup Home

You must create the Oracle Secure Backup home before beginning the process of loading and installing the software. The Oracle Secure Backup setup program uses this directory to store installation files specific to your host.

"Oracle Secure Backup Home Directory" and Oracle Secure Backup Administrator's Guide for more details about the Oracle Secure Backup home.

The recommended location for the Oracle Secure Backup home is /usr/local/oracle/backup. You can, however, create the directory in a different location.

Note:

Oracle recommends that you use /usr/local/oracle/backup as your Oracle Secure Backup home. If you use a different directory, then the setup program prompts you to confirm your selected directory.

After logging in as root, create the directory for your Oracle Secure Backup home. For example:

# mkdir -p /usr/local/oracle/backup
