Abstract
Techniques are provided for creating a backup of a source pluggable database (SPD) of a source container database and porting the backup for recovery into a different target container database. In an embodiment, a source database server retrieves metadata that describes backups of the SPD. The source database server inserts, into an unplugged pluggable database of the SPD, the metadata that describes each of the backups. For example, unplugging the SPD may automatically create the unplugged pluggable database. Eventually, the unplugged pluggable database may be plugged into the target container database. A target database server transfers the metadata that describes each of the backups from the unplugged pluggable database and into the target container database. Based on at least one backup and the metadata that describes backups of the SPD, the target database server restores a target pluggable database within the target container database.
