Automatic Log Backup 

Automatic log backup is recommended to ensure the safety of data in producing systems.

If automatic log backup is activated, a log segment is saved as soon as it has been filled. This log segment is then released again. This has the advantage that an overflow of the log area is almost impossible.

This mechanism is particularly recommended for all database instances in which extensive write and change-intensive transactions are carried out. In this way, constant monitoring of the usage level of the log area is not necessary.

While the automatic log backup is enabled, no other log backup can be performed, although a data backup can be performed.

You can perform log backups in WARM mode.
