Question
I just installed Oracle on my Amazon's Virtual EC2 Linux (Ubuntu) Server. Because i'm not really familiar with Oracle Database Administration I'm wondering what files and how i need to move to ESB so when i shut down or terminate my instance the data won't be lost.
I have found THIS tutorial, but i'm not sure if this is what i need.
Solution
Backup your database

OTHER TIPS
You might want to start with one of the Oracle AMIs for simplicity. You can find them here:

and an overview of Oracle on EC2 is here:

Watch the demo video there. As you follow along, make sure you've pre-mounted your EBS on the node. When the video gets to the part where you specify the data locations, use your EBS mount point.
