Backup script advice please

It is a question of both parties

Part 1

We tested the restoration of the smartcopy on one of our virtual machine, this virtual machine has a single 60 GB vmdk disk, the restoration of this virtual machine took about 45 minutes to complete, is 45 minutes of time consumption normal duration for the restoration of a single 60 GB vm? I thought that it would take 5-10 minutes to recover.

Part 2

In a scenario where I need an immediate recovery of entire virtual machine (as oppose to wait 45 minutes for the restore to finish) I have everything just bring the snapshot online and make it writable and let users access this virtual machine while troubleshoot us the original virtual machine, obviously that would take lass than 5 minutes to bring the snapshot online , but what are the implications of this method.

I think you will find VSM 3.5 faster than the ASM/VE.

Re: snapshot.  As long as you realize how it works, in the short term, it is fine.  Another trick I use is typically trying to recover a file, not the whole VMDK.   Bring the snapshot online, add this VMDK to a different VM.  One that you can stop eventually.  By adding the VMDK from the snapshot, you can see the files, then simply restore the files on the network.  Then stop the virtual machine, you can remove the VMDK and the instant back offlne.  ESX allows you to add a direct VMDK, but not delete one.  It is a very fast operation compared with a copy of 60 GB.

    Hi all

    I want to take RMAN backup with date wise new folder creation scripts. e.g. today, it's 31 Oct so when I run the backup script it should create a folder name Oct. 31 and then take backup. My goal of this nice script, is that I will move daily tape backup. kindly advice.


    Thank you
    Krishna

    Hello

    I would just give you the highlights as I would:
    (1) create a shell script which create directory unix with date (e.g., mkdir/somepathhere / 'date' +%Y.%m.%d__%H%M%S ")
    (2) generate the script in which backup command in "xyz" will have xyz format, replaced by the path of complete directory of point 1.

    This line in a backup script used to synchronize the folder my documents with my Synology NAS:

    A ran in the Sierra, he deleted the contents of the folder/Volumes/Documents on the NAS. Nothing is copied.

    The ~/Library/"Mobile Documents path" / com ~ apple ~ CloudDocs/Documents is valid in the terminal. I don't see what has changed.

    It's a delicate issue... like some patches cannot stipulate pitchbend...

    But to quickly test your pitchbend wheel actually works properly...

    Download the free lunch monitor...

    Run and see if it sees pitchbend data sent by your keyboard... and therefore by logic.

  • MAXL - Backup Script Essbase for lack of encrypted password

    I went through the steps of...

    1. creation of public/private keys

    2. password encryption

    3. pass these components in the backup script Essbase

    From the kick-off of the EssbaseBackup.bat, it fails to connect with the username password / encrypted.

    If I remove the encrypted password and instead, encode the password, it connects fine and generates the backup file Essbase.

    Anyone of you people seen this behavior before?  All good pointers trying to solve this problem?

    Appreciate any feedback.

    It would have been useful to see your script too, but looks like you are missing $key in your statement at the opening session.

    It should be something like:

    login administrator $key 23958236592475923472398969868968756 ON HYPERION;

    I'm assuming you use you're maxl script with the parameter-d and the provision of key private after him.

    If you set UP CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON, then you don't need separate steps to back up the control and the spfile.  In fact, I do not think that you don't even need to do. Any time that the backup is a backup of the table system (datafile #1) space, it will also create a backupset to include the control file and the spfile.  Try it yourself.

    Everything in your summary of the list 'backup' is already included in your backup of 'list '.

    I would add 'delete all entries "for the backup of the archivelogs. '.  If you do not, then eventually your archivelog destination fills. (Well, if you check in CRF, then it will delete archives when there need more space - if it can and do not compromise your position of recovery.)

    In addition, to overlap/remove expiration on safeguards, I would do the same for the archivelogs.
