Backup and restore of the different States of a database

Hello

In a development and test system, we want to save and restore the different States of the entire database.

This means, we start with a full (TAG 1) backup of the database.
On a day team has done in the database, after that we take a full backup (TAG 2).
The next day, do us a restoration of the TAG 1 and the B team some works, after that, we take a full backup (tag 3).
Then, we want to continue: restore from TAG 2, TAG 4 backup, restore TAG 3,...

I tried follwing RMAN procedures:

Backup (backup consistent cold)
RMAN nocatalog target.

SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
FORCE START S/N;
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
BOOTABLE MEDIA;
backup as BACKUPSET COMPRESS database ' TEST1' tag include current controlfile;
ALTER database open;


Restore (database in time recovery DBPITR point)
# get RCS with tag backup rman list «...» »
# add - one for the RCS, use it in the script for NNNN

RMAN nocatalog target.
stop immediately;
bootable media;
restore the database to the SNA NNNN;
recover the database unitl Yvert NNNN;
ALTER database open resetlogs;

Problem is: when we try to go back to an older version, we get a
RMAN-20208: until this CHANGE THAT either before RESETLOGS change

No idea how to switch between the different States of the database?

Environment: Oracle 11g Enterprise Edition, ASM, Flash Recovery Area, no turning back.

Kind regards

I think you are looking for incarnations. (I know you said 11g, the doc here is 10 g, I love the research/layout better than the 11g docs).

If you use VM, it would be a way to go as well. Restore a snapshot.

    I have no idea what opened the backup files when you have double-clicked, or if you will not quote you took after doing this...  However, the official way to 'Browse' the content of the backup...

    You can view the contents of your backup by opening the wizard to restore files.

    1. Open backup and restore by clicking on the button start , clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance and then click Backup and restore.

    2. Do one of the following:

      • To view your files, click Restore my files.

      • To display files all the, click on restore files for all users. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    3. Do one of the following:

      • To browse the contents of the backup, click Browse for files or click Browse for folders.

        When you browse folders, you will not be able to see the files in a folder. To view individual files, use her browse for files option.

      • To search the contents of the backup, click search, type all or part of a file name, and then click search.

    According to the edition of Windows Vista that you have (and how useful, you will find the possibility to look at old versions of a given file and possibly restore), this could be useful to you:
    http://www.ShadowExplorer.com/
    (not a replacement of relief.)

    With regard to the rate of success vs. failure rate of backup - it is difficult to measure.  Indeed most of the people backs up incorrectly.  It's really * not * enough to set a backup and forget about it.  If you test ever that your backups work/glance to see if you are backing up the good thing - it's just not wise.  Although most people expect that it is essential that the backups were working properly (not a test, a real emergency) to be discovered.  Most individuals who report failures, unfortunately, fall into this category "when my aircraft crashed and I went to my backups - it turns out _ backup _ does not and never told me...» ».

    A question... If you manually create a ZIP file (not a backup) - can you still Explorer in it as a folder?

    To test... Create a folder on your desktop.  Copy some files into it - of different types.  I say COPY and not MOVE on the goal here - because you can just blow this folder and all that results from this folder later if it was all fair copies of things.

    Make a right click on this folder and choose "send to" and "compress (ZIP) file and give a name to the new 'folder '.  (It's really a file.)  On your desktop, you should have the original folder you created and copied some stuff in, and a new "folder" with the name you just gave.  If you open the 'new' folder - you should see the name of the folder that is still on the desktop and go to this folder, you should see the files.  You literally use Windows Vista to the 'discovery' inside a ZIP file as if it were a folder.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones really backup and restore for the OS upgrade

    Hi all

    I'm new in the world of BB and I love it.

    I've recently updated the OS of my BB "BOLD" and was a little surprised by the backup and restore process...

    He missed some relevant info such as: BB Messenger discussions, certain parameters (network, wifi, email passwords options options...).

    Is there a way to really back up everything before the update of the OS? That's all just annoying (even if it's no big deal, the vast majority is here...)

    Thank you and have a nice day.

    See you soon

    We are not effective, we are just bored.

    The difference is this: I saw the backup upgrade automatically deleted at the end of the upgrade process. Your backup beforehand will ensure you the data for use if necessary.

  • How to backup C40 - No. backup and restore in the Maintenance menu

    Thank you in advance.

    You must update your system to get the option "Backup and restore" - I can't remember in which version it was introduced however, but given the current version is TC7.1.4...

    You can easily backup the configuration if you have a MSDS, but if you haven't, then you can download the codec xconfig file using PuTTY.

  • Cannot reinstall Dell backup and restore support center

    Hello

    A new Inspiron 3521. Upgrade to 8.1 Windows before you create backup discs. Now when I try to create the backup, get the message:

    To use Dell backup and restore with this version of Windows, you must reinstall it from the original installation media or download files. If you are unable to locate the files or media, contact Dell, the manufacturer of Dell backup and restoration for more information.

    Cannot access it from support center - only lists updated, pilots not original (I already installed). When I try to do a scan for drivers, it never ends (leave it on for hours).

    I decided to backup per 24 hours.  Since them my PC goes through a cycle off, restart and informing me that it configures updates with State 0% who never changes, after about 3 minutes, it stops and starts the process of starting again.  When the backup process started, I learned that I can't cancel it.  As restarting the round has now worked for 15 hours, what can I do to cancel it?

  • Backup and restore > Creat an Image of the system: program cannot find a WD external hard drive

    I recently bought and installed a MyBook 2 t Western Digital network drive.  It installed fine and I can see listed on the 'Computer' desktop and icon within the Norton backup program.  I have setup my regular backup routines successfully.  On the bottom: I recently lost a hard drive and replaced with a new one and spent several days to restore the system and install any patches, etc.  It was particularly difficult to get the installed Windows 7 SP1.  I wanted to install this drive external hard to use Windows built-in Backup and Restore to "create a system image.  When I select this option, the program asks me where I want to save the backup. I select the button of "on a hard drive" and search for the external hard drive.  It notes the two internal hard drives, external hard drive is not found.  Support WD provided the following instructions:

  • Why can I not see the files I back up by using the backup and restore of Vista

    Can someone help me?  I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 and implemented backup and restore feature Vista so that every Sunday he automatically backs up my computer to my external drive.  I was on the computer when he said it starts up and that upward was completed successfully.  I assummed everything was fine until today when I show my father my drive external and noticed that none of the backup of files were there... or at least I did not see them.  The only files on the disk were the ones I put manually on here from my old computer.  I then ran a manual upward using Vista and again it says backup successfully completed.  I then watched the external hard drive and once again no new files.  The strange thing is the back up and restore program shows all the dates he has saved and also allows me to restore files from the back to the top.  To do this, I deleted a file I didn't really need out of my hard drive and then is gone to restore program and found the file and restored.  Problem is that the program does not say where he makes the file from.  What is going on?  Are backup files of certain types of hidden file I don't see unless I use the backup and restore program under vista?  I am currently running Vista Home Premium on a 32 bit system and the external hard drive I have is a Western Digital My Book Essential Edition.

    Windows backup is stored in a folder with the same name as your computer.  Open a command prompt and type echo %ComputerName% or startup, right-click on computer, properties.  You should see that % ComputerName % folder on your external drive, and in this context, a backup set.
