  * Oracle Database Server must be selected.

  * All databases including SYSAUX, SYSTEM, UNDOTBS1, USERS and related application databases except for “TEMP” must be selected in the backup source when creating the backup set. Otherwise, without a backup of these databases, a full Oracle database instance recovery will NOT be possible.
