Backup OCI Autonmous DB to an external drive automatically

Haytham AJul 12 2025 — edited Jul 13 2025

I am using Always Free Oracle Autonmous Database (19c). I want to be take a backup to an external drive. The backup can be a binary file dump that can store on any external drive (Google Drive or OneDrive). Is there a way to do that?

If so, is there a way to do that and automate it so it runs once a week?

Given I am on Always Free version, my DB is backedup, but I can't use the backup for recovery. While it's only for personal usage, I faced cases where I needed to re-create the database from an older backup. I don't want to pay for backup service at the moment, so if there is something I can develop mysefl or a free tool I can use, I appreciate any guidance.
