RMAN Backup to Disk and to Cloud Parallel I'm currently working on a backup solution for my company.
One part of the solution would be to write the backup to disk and also send it to an oracle cloud archive storage for long term storage.

In the documentation I only found a way to store it in two directories on local disk via:

CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/u01/%U', '/u02/%U';

Is it possible to define the first backup location to be local disk, the second in the cloud and let rman backup to those two in parallel mode?

I appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance, jan
Your local backup uses a disk channel. Cloud backup uses and SBT channel.
The same backup can not be duplexed to mixed kind of channels, see below.

Duplexing Backup Sets


  RMAN can duplex backups to either disk or tape, but cannot duplex
  backups to tape and disk simultaneously.


Even if you used an SBT channel for the local backup, that would require a media manager library that is different from the cloud SBT media manager library, which you again can not mix.

So the answer is no.

Just create some local disk backups, then backup the backupsets to the cloud.
