A company is migrating its Oracle database to Oracle Database@Azure and wants to configure automatic backups and Oracle Data Guard for high availability. Which configuration will ensure automated backups and high availability for both primary and standby databases in Oracle Database@Azure?

For Oracle Database@Azure, enabling automatic backups to OCI Object Storage and configuring Oracle Data Guard with local and remote standby databases ensures both automated backups and high availability (HA). Data Guard provides HA by maintaining synchronized standby databases, while automatic backups to OCI Object Storage (despite the Azure context) ensure recovery. Options A, B, and C either skip automation or rely on manual/third-party solutions, which are less integrated and efficient. Oracle’s documentation confirms this hybrid approach for HA and backup in multicloud setups.
