Oracle have just introduced the catchy named – Zero Data Loss 
Recovery Appliance or ZDLRA .

This is a “data protection solution that’s completely integrated with Oracle Database and eliminates data loss exposure for all databases without impacting production environments.”  – source Oracle

In simple terms it plugs into a live Oracle Database and using real-time logs makes a copy of the live production database.  This clone can then be used to produce tape backups but most importantly in the event of a database corruption or failure you can roll back a few seconds and have a live functioning database.

Oracle technical experts are describing this as “Compliance in a Box” in reference to new EU rules on the protection of data which are due to be introduced later this year.  These rules can fine organisation 4% of revenue for the miss-handling of data.
