Log Backup 

When you execute a log backup, you use the Database Manager database tool to back up (from the log area to a data carrier) all redo log entries that the database system has written since the last log backup. Once you have backed up the redo log entries, the database system can then overwrite them in the log area.

You can also back up the redo log entries automatically (by switching the automatic log backup on/off).
