Recovery Catalog (Oracle specific term) A set of Oracle tables and views that are
used by Recovery Manager to store information about Oracle
databases. This information is used by Recovery Manager to
manage the backup, restore, and recovery of Oracle databases.
The recovery catalog contains information about:
• The physical schema of the Oracle target database
• Data file and archived log backup sets
• Data file copies
• Archived Redo Logs
• Stored scripts
Recovery Catalog
Database (Oracle specific term) An Oracle database that contains a
recovery catalog schema. You should not store the recovery
catalog in your target database.
recovery files (Oracle specific term) Recovery files are Oracle 10g/11g
specific files that reside in the flash recovery area: the current
control file, online redo logs, archived redo logs, flashback logs,
control file autobackups, datafile copies, and backup pieces.

RecoveryInfo When backing up Windows configuration files, Data Protector
collects the information about the current system configuration
(information on disk layout, volume, and network configuration).
This information is needed for disaster recovery.
Recovery Manager
(RMAN) (Oracle specific term) An Oracle command-line interface that
directs an Oracle Server process to back up, restore, or recover
the database it is connected to. RMAN uses either the recovery
catalog or the control file to store information about backups.
This information can be used later in restore sessions.
recycle A process that removes the data protection from all backed up
data on a medium, allowing Data Protector to overwrite it during
one of the next backups. Data that belongs to the same session(s)
but resides on other media is also unprotected. Recycling does
not actually alter the data on the medium.
redo log (Oracle specific term) Every Oracle database has a set of two
or more redo log files. The set of redo log files for the database
is known as the database's redo log. Oracle uses the redo log
to record all changes made to data.
