Catalog db for tape backup

Hello

I have a question about the tape backup. In my system, we have the database of 12-15 in linux, HP, and windows OS. We used to take backup on disk for the latter. Now we intend to take tape backup. The version of db are g 10, 11.1, etc.. The maximum size of the db is 1 TB and db are 300 GB or less. My query is:

1 can I use catalog db or not? Many said catalogue is not necessary as long as it is necessary to maintain 1 server more.

2. as my db are in different versions, can we use catalog db as version 11.2 so that each db can be included?

3. can we run the rman catalog server script?

Maybe they're stupid for many of you.  But still, it is important:

Kind regards

Technically, a catalogue is not necessary, but it certainly is another layer of insurance.  You certainly not 'need' a server, but it is certainly preferable.   A server for an rman catalog alone would not be powerful or very important and should not be a burden for an organization whose databases you describe.  Avoiding a catalog rman in this situation is false economy.  Please note that if you want to run the catalog db itself on a separate server, if it is used exclusively as an rman repository, no additional license is required from Oracle.  (Oracle Database Licensing Information 11.2, publication E10594-26, pp. 1-9, 'Infrastructure Repository Database')

2. as my db are in different versions, can we use catalog db as version 11.2 so that each db can be included?

Yes.  There is nothing magical about a recovery catalog.  It's just a different schema from database.  It contains metadata on the backups.  Nothing version dependent.  Now, the catalog itself (the collection of tables have been created in the catalogue schema) should be upgraded to the same level as the highest level of the rman client who will use it, but it's a command simple rman. It does not itself with the version of the database that hosts the catalog.

3. can we run the rman catalog server script?

I have never tried or seen a need.  All my scripts (shell scripting in linux, .cmd scripts under Windows) rman backup function on the server of the database to back up.

It isn't really "can run us the rman from the catalog server script" but "can we run rman from a remote server from the saved database.  Why do you believe rman provides the syntax to connect to a remote database? (rman target user/pwd@orcl as sysdba)

Maybe they're stupid for many of you.  But still, it is important:

BTW, it would really help if you go to your profile and give you a recognizable name.  It doesn't have to be your real name, just something that looks like a real name.  Who said that my name really is Ed Stevens?  But at least when people see a message, they have a recognizable identity.  Unlike the name of system generated from 'ed0f625b-6857-4956-9b66-da280b7cf3a2', which is no better than the posting as "Anonymous".

  • Using tape for RMAN backup concerns

    Dear all,

    I use the library of networker for rman backup. I have some problem/question about what I don't use catalog db. Here it goes:

    1. think you that automatic backup controlfile should set to strip? or better to keep in the disc.

    2. How can I configure autoback controlfile format on TAPE?

    3. If I need to restore control to another HOST file, how can we do this?

    4. I've read a few books we can't CATALOG element of tape backup. If it's the fact that, after the disaster, how do I Catalog backup piece and restore this backup piece in another host?

    Kind regards

    Hello

    1 when RMAN channel tape is allocated when running RMAN backup, autobackup controlfile will be created in the Ribbon to place on the disc. If structural change to the database is made, for example by adding a new data file, then the controlfile autobackup will be created in the disk, regardless of the device type of the default RMAN configuration.

    Control file autobackup after structural changes of data and the Type of device SBT_TAPE (Doc ID 1190354.1)

    2. set below:

    RMAN > CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' TO '%F ';

    3. If the automatic backup location is not the default location and then set the location first.

    Use this command to set the location:

    RMAN > SET FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE SBT_TAPE AUTOBACKUP CONTROLFILE to '< auto="" backup="" format="">';

    Then use the command

    RMAN > restore controlfile on "" automatic backup;

    4. starting with 10 g, it is possible to use the rman CATALOG command to add backuppieces stored in the disc to the rman repository. But it is not possible to use the order CATALOG for items stored on TAPE backup, but note below explains undocumented commands to add backuppieces stored in the RIBBON for the repository.

  • DUPLICATE TAPE BACKUP DATABASE


    Hello

    I wonder if someone can help me. My environment is Linux, and the Oracle version is 11.2.0.3.0. I'm trying to clone a database from one server to another by using a tape backup (no database). I implemented the appropriate TNS entries, so that the two systems can communicate. I created a password file and a PFILE in the destination server, and I started upward (NOMOUNT) of the instance.

    Initially, I tried the operation from the destination server; I received the error message such as: RMAN-06100: no channel to restore a backup or a copy of the data file 11

    Suspecting that the destination server have not may not be the level of appropriate access to the MLL, I tried the operation from the source server.

    I finally understood what was wrong with my approach. I had missed a bit in the literature: the definition of AUXILIARY channel should be the same as that used for the backup. Of course, RMAN normally does you not clear in its mystical error messages.

    In addition, according to the document, it's a good idea to create a SPFILE in the auxiliary instance. I did it.

    Therefore, in my case, the same channels as those used for backups on tape. So is the syntax I used successfully:

    target connection.
    connection Assistant sys/***@MBA

    Run {}
    allocate channel 'dev_01' type 'sbt_tape '.
    parms ' ENV = (OB2BARTYPE = SAP, MM1, OB2BARLIST = WYC_CENTRICA_wycvlsapx115_SAP_MM1_ON_Weekly = OB2APPNAME), SBT_LIBRARY = / opt/omni/lib/libob2oracle8_64bit.so ';

    release the string "dev_02";
    release the string "dev_03";
    release the string "dev_04";
    }

    To improve the programming of schedules, the next time I can increase the number of auxiliary channels. I need to know how many tape drives, I have at my disposal.

  • Destinations of recovering data from tape backup

    I am doing some tests with data recovery in a lab environment and wonder now to get the destinations of tape data recovery.  Is there a way or a need to suspend the destination for the backup to tape?  I am considering this hypothetical: data recovery destination is on a NAS device and begins the task of band.  During tape backup, data recovery backup another machine, updating the catalog and DATS mi backup.  Which could cause problems when you try to recover?

    Ideally we would keep separate data recovery window of the tape backup window, but I was wondering if we will have problems if the two annexes never collided and we need to restore.

    Thank you

    I do store deduplication backup tape since I use VDR. I'm testing the recovery from tape and deduplication deduplication to vm on a regular basis because I will never approve a disk to disk backup. Still worked well.

    But I do not use a NAS share as deduplication store, I use a RDM. You must close VDR to get the store of deduplication to tape. Just look at this thread http://communities.vmware.com/message/1505632#1505632. There are two ways presented, RDM and SMB share.

    There is no risk that VDR is hitting the backup process of the band at least using RDM. When VDR tries to start while the store of deduplication is mounted anywhere else, VDR does not start.

    You'll also somehow influence the integritiy check the timer. It's just a work around until VMware gives us a real control in this topic, but it works - at least for me. Just look at this thread http://communities.vmware.com/message/1508463#1508463

    I'm trying to get a tape backup to work on my ESXi host, so I can save my win2003 VM.  I get this error under VMDirectPath, 'host does not support configuring passthrough ".  Under Configuration > storage adapters > I don't see my tape drive listed.  Also, I noticed that my SCSI controller card is NOT on the HCL (Adaptec 39160).  See.  This is probably why passthrough doesn't work.

    So, I was thinking of buying this one (Adaptec 39320) because he seems to be on the list.  This will solve my problem or is this server too old for passthrough to work?

    To use VMDirectpath on an Intel Server chipset used must support Intel VT - d (Directed i/o).   I don't think that's the case with the models of 2850, but if it was you would see an option in the BIOS to enable this.  It is a separate option of VT - x, which allows the host run the 64-bit clients.

  • Everyone is dismayed to see that there is no password recovery or reset secure put in place for encrypted backups?

    I am absolutely amazed that there is no recovery password for iPhone backups encrypted.

    (1) no password is required to access the iTunes application. He launched and the phone connects automatically.

    (2) someone might maliciously put a password. The password for Mac or device using iTunes OSx need at least before setting the encryption password.

    (3) there is no recovery option. None. Tell me: what password-protected sensitive data have NO option of recovery? No secret questions, no e-mail link, no OSx password, nothing. It's horrible.

    I'm in a situation where I remember not the password, and even if I had the foresight to write it somewhere, that the hard copy has disappeared. I suffer a miserable condition where I lose memory. I have reset passwords on all my stuff course often. That's just my new reality.

    I am faced with a situation where if I ever need to restore my device or upgrade to a new, I won't lose all my old texts and local health data in my applications (which is essential for a person with health problems). The loss of memories of conversations for a person who relies on these devices, precisely because I lose my memory is a slap in the face.

    What the risk of COMPUTER audit team approved this feature, Apple? It's quite incredible that a company of your size would be created people to fail like this. Please post a fix in iTunes for password recovery and substitute it. PLEASE, I BEG YOU.

    N ° if there is a way to recover or reset, the encryption would be completely useless.

    Exercise good security practices on the computer where you have installed iTunes and you will not you care about someone maliciously setting a password for backups.

    There is no way to recover your information or disable backup encrypted if you lose or forget the password.

    You cannot use a backup encrypted if you do not have the password. If you have forgotten your password, the only way to turn off encryption on the backup device is to wipe your device and set up as new. Clear deletes all data on your device.

  • TM is not only sufficient capacity for continuous backup

    Time Machine is not sufficient capacity for continuous backup, I examine in order to free up space in the time Capsule, but I like to keep a complete backup/restore source for my MBP.

    If I could keep the backup history to start now I don't like to take some backup stories are duplicated or doubled. At least, I could recover my MBP if replacement of HDD, new MBP migration or data recovery after the MBP were repaired by Apple Store Home.

    How can I delete the history of backups to free up some space and maintained all the data while restore or recover any catering MBP?

    Identical to this thread, I just answer.

    Do not attempt to remove the files... He eventually didn't save almost no space and you're more likely to corrupt the entire backup.

    Just the archives outside the TC, wipe it and start over.

  • What is normal for the backup of XP SP3 and the startup type of the removable storage service?

    I was getting ready to plan and attempt a clean full backup for tonight.  I have the backups created on several entities, currently backup but have a very stable system at the moment and wanted to try to make a clean backup file.  That day has finally arrived after been forced a corrupted system files hard drive failure "repair" critical and forced me to go back to SP1a (my Windows Genuine valid CD which I highly appreciate) in order to obtain any boot system, including safe mode and console mode.  Repair has presented many incompatibilities at the level of program and system, including the basic WMI and COM of the corruption system.  Three months later... it of time to update my backups and recovery procedures and hope that this does not happen!

    In preparation, I decided to refresh my memory on the use of the backup and by browsing the Help and Support Service Center files.  One of the first things I noticed was "storage removable service must be started for the backup works correctly."  Audit and inspection of my existing Services using computer (Local) management, I have observed that after a normal windows startup, the removable storage service is not started with manual startup type.  I use a USB drive connected as my backup media, and it is fully operational as a normally formatted NTFS data disk volume.  I have windows indexing disabled on this volume.  Is the type of service required removable storage of normal manual started?  The backup program will automatically start this service?  I know I've never manually started it myself and backups seem to work well.  Should we change the startup type to automatic?

    -Thanks, Jerry

    I would like to leave as a textbook.

    The Service will start (if capable) as soon as ntbackup.exe begins.

    If you want to see, with your Services window related to the function of RS place and it will not work and the manual.

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    Ntbackup.exe

    Click OK to start the backup and the Restore Wizard.

    Go back to your Services window and press F5 to refresh and SR Service should now work.

    When you exit the backup and the Restore Wizard, the RS Service stops (it may take a few minutes), and you may need to close the Services applet and reopen it to notice she's moved to manual and not running.

    You will see things like present to the event system log viewer:

    It's like aid and assistance...  Most of the people (including the technical support engineers who are hired by Microsoft) say to set the Startup Type to automatic, but you don't have to...  Set it to manual and it will start fine when he needs start (if he can).

    There is no need for these Services (and many other Services in XP) as starting at each restart and run all day without doing anything.

    Here is a good list that will help you understand your XP Services:

  • Which card to use for the backup of Win8

    Windows 8 requires a minimum of 32 GB card to use for the backup. I bought a PNY 32 GB (http://www3.pny.com/32GB-Pro-Elite-Series-Hi-Speed-SDHC-Class-10-UHS-1---35MBs-233X-P3122C442.aspx ), but it wouldn't work. Even though it says 32 GB it is actually a little less. If I buy a 32 GB SanDisk will, that I meet the same problem? Exactly what the size is a SanDisk 32 GB card? (http://www.sandisk.com/products/memory-cards/sd/standard-class4/?capacity=32GB)

    Thank you

    any card 32 GB will be less than 32GB after it is formatted to be used in a computer. It is a standard for all types of storage.

    If you need 32 GB of actual useful storage space, you will have to get a 64 GB card.
