  Hi experts. I know about backup of backup without rman example sets but I want to know is there a way to backup with rman backup sets.

  Perhaps it works for your condition.

• Cold DB RMAN backup & restore on the other server: best procedure?

  Hello

  A few days ago I did a cold backup of the GR 2 CARS DB 11 with the following commands:

  srvctl stop database d DBPOC

  RMAN target / < < EOF

  bootable media;

  run

  {

  assign the channel c1 type disc format ' / tmp/dump/coldBkp/%T_%d_DBID%I_s%s_p%p.bkp';

  backup of database TAG 'BKPCOLDDBPOCC' keep until 'sysdate + 1000';

  backup current controlfile TAG 'BKPCOLDDBPOC_CTL' keep until 'sysdate + 1000';

  backup spfile TAG 'BKPCOLDDBPOC_SPF' keep until 'sysdate + 1000';

  output channel c1;

  }

  SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;

  quit smoking;

  FO %

  srvctl start database-d DBPOC

  srvctl start service d DBPOC

  Then noticing that I need a copy of controlfile I also did:

  backup current controlfile copy format in ' / opt/dump/oracle/coldBkp/currentctlfile.ctl';

  He made a set of files in the file/tmp/dump/coldBkp system that I copied to another server, resembling:

  20130912_DBPOC_DBID23987234897_s371_p1.BKP... plus my currentctlfile.ctl.

  I copied everything on another machine in/tmp/rest, where the same structure of fs and ASM

  starts existed; then run the following commands to restore this DB on

  This new server:

  1 / set some env variables

  2 / cp initDBPOC.ora /opt/oracle/app/ora11g/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs

  3 / sqlplus: Startup nomount pfile=/opt/oracle/app/ora11g/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs/initDBPOC.ora

  4 / rman: restoring controlfile to ' / location/of/coldbackup/files/currentctlfile.ctl';

  5 / rman: sql 'alter database mount;

  6 / rman: catalogue start with "/ location/of/coldbackup/files";

  [Type here YES]

  7 / rman: restore the database;

  8 / sqlplus: recover database using backup controlfile until CANCEL;

  [immediately cancelled the first required archive log]

  9 / sqlplus: alter database open resetlogs;

  The procedure has worked.

  But I'm not happy with this, I thought I could have done with RMAN. However, I discovered

  e.g. a CONTROLFILE RECOVER with the HELP of BACKUP is not possible with RMAN etc etc.

  and I had to swith back to sqlplus, surprisingly.

  Am I missing orders RMAN should I used? Y at - it another way - more simple? -of

  perform this restore/recovery simple thanks to the RMAN utility only? Or is my error in backup

  the first place and I should have used other commands for backup?

  Thank you very much in advance for any advice you can give me...

  Hello

  You can use

  RMAN > RECOVER DATABASE;

  and for the time being, you can use

• Creating a new controlfile with RMAN backup data files

  Hello
  
  I use oracle 10g (10.2.0.1) in RHEL5 server. I am trying to restore a RMAN backup from one server to another server again with the new name of the comic. I took on the RMAN backup spfile and created her pfile and edited the file pfile with new dbname and directory structure and launched the db in nomount with new pfile.

• Two questions relating to the archive redo logs with RMAN backup

  DB version: 11g
  
  I am new to RMAN.
  
  My database is in ARCHIVELOG mode. I intend to make a weekly backup for my db (02:00 every Monday). There will be all the incremental backups between these windows(Monday-to-Monday) of backup that I have would function for retrieving archived redo logs.
  
  
  Question1.
  I want to save the archived logs every day (for example at 23:00). How can I configure that?
  
  These are the configuration setting, that I intend to implement. I don't know how to set up the archive log backup
  

  configure default device type to disk;
  configure retention policy to redundancy;
  configure device type disk parallelism 1;
  configure channel 1 device type disk clear;
  configure channel 2 device type disk clear;
  configure channel 1 device type disk format '/u05/rman1/datafiles/rmnabackup1_%U';
  configure channel 2 device type disk format '/u05/rman2/datafiles/rmnabackup2_%U';
  configure controlfile autobackup on;
  configure controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to '/u05/rman1/control_files/rmnabackup1_%U';

  Question2.
  After that a new full backup is taken at 02:00 on Mondays, the archived redo logs accumulated since the last 7 days become unnecessary. How can I automate the removal of the archive redo logs with RMAN?

  Archive the log delete them all input command will take the destination of the log archiving log backup archive and delete this destination.

  In the log archive destination he has archived log in the sequence 1 to 100 then will he take the backup and delete any of the destination (Monday 23:00).

  In the log archive destination he has archived sequence journal 101 to 150 then will he take the backup and remove those in the destination (Tuesday 23:00).

  In the log archive destination he has archived log in the sequence from 151 to 180 so will he take the backup and delete any of the destination (Wednesday 10:00).

  It will continue like that.

• archivelogs with RMAN backup

  Hello.

  Version of the database is 11.2.0.4

  I implement RMAN. I'm setting up FRA and I have a general question.

  I understand that the DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST is necessary for FRA - this is where the logs archive saved will be stored?

  The location of archive records however (which must be separated from the FRA) - this still can be set according to the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST parameter?

  Thank you

• RAC with RMAN backup

  Hi gurus
  
  I want to know what is the reason that we need to make a backup of all the ways to instacnes why rman needs to create a channel for all instances while performing a backup? Since CARS use a shared storage, then we can take a backup of an instance of one is enough right? Clarfiy me please.
  
  
  Concerning
  Bathrinath

  You must backup all archive log threads one instance.
  If all your redologs archived for all threads are on the shared storage, AFAIK you don't need multiple channels.
  If these wires are on local storage, you need to allocate a channel instance or you won't have a full backup.

• We can schedule with rman backup in the windows platform?

  My question is about the backup settings of my
  
  the idea is to all on the windows platform
  
  a weekly full backup (compressed backupset level 0)
  daily incremental backup of (cumulative) (even, level 1)
  an incremental backup every hour (bonus) (level 1)
  
  
  
  could you please tell me if the following examples will be adapted to my needs

• Duplicate RMAN with specific backup location

  Hello

  I explain here my architecture:

  -Server Oracle 11.2.0.4 production: prod db with the instance name PROD with RMAN backups on the F: drive

  -Test the Oracle 11.2.0.4 Server: test-db with the instance name TEST with RMAN backups on the F: drive and production available on the G: drive backup drive

  -Customer name: customer

  My goal is to reproduce the production server to the test server instance and I can't achieve this goal. The connection is client-side.

  I do it like this:

  -startup nomount TEST

  -On the client, run the following "rman target sys/pass@PROD auxiliary sys/pass@TEST.

  Then in RMAN, I run the following:

  RUN

  {

  CHANNEL AUXILIARY ALLOCATE ch01 DEVICE TYPE DISK;

  CHANNEL AUXILIARY ALLOCATE ch02 DEVICE TYPE DISK;

  DUPLICATE THE DATABASE TO THE LOCATION OF THE BACKUP TEST "G:\RMAN";

  }

  RMAN does not see my "LOCATION of BACKUP" command because it tries to reproduce the F: drive and can't find the backup files.

  I have the thing like this:

  CH01 channel: reading of the element of backup F:\RMAN\CTRLFILES\CTRL-PROD-C-2267984545-20150826-00

  CH01 channel: ORA-19870: error when restoring full backup, F:\RMAN\CTRLFILES\CTRL-PROD-C-2267984545-20150826-00

  ORA-19505: impossible to identify the file "F:\RMAN\CTRLFILES\CTRL-PROD-C-2267984545-20150826-00 '

  ORA-27041: could not open the file

  04002 - OSD: could not open the file

  S/O-error: (OS 2) the system cannot find the file specified.

  Single quote, double quote, tried almost everything and RMAN always look for the backup in the F: drive. Can you help me to use the G: drive?

  And at the beginning of this thread someone told me not to connect to the target database.

  You use the clauses unwanted duplicating without connecting to the target database. SPFILE clause is not necessary, but you seem to use it in the block of the RACE.

  Create a simple PFILE with all the parameters required for the auxiliary instance, startup nomount and run the duplicate.

  Also worth db_file_name_convert log_file_name_convert parameters in the PFILE to the auxiliary instance file, run the duplicate.

  run

  {

  CHANNEL AUXILIARY ALLOCATE ch01 DEVICE TYPE DISK;

  CHANNEL AUXILIARY ALLOCATE ch02 DEVICE TYPE DISK;

  DUPLICATE THE DATABASE TO THE LOCATION OF THE BACKUP TEST "G:\RMAN";

  output channel ch01.

  output channel ch02;

  }

• With RMAN for backup, but not with the archive logs

  We run a 10.2.0.4 database and the rest 11.2.0.3. All databases are on RHEL 5.7.
  
  Our backups are via RMAN, with the data files, controlfiles and spfile saved to disk, then each day, it is copied off site to a backup server.
  
  My question is around logs archiving and RMAN.
  Our current situation is:
  -We do not save the logs to archive via RMAN. for example: backup of the list of the archivelog all; gives "specification does not match backups in the repository.
  -We set the archive_lag_target so archiving logs is produced every 30 minutes.
  -a cron job running on a remote server runs periodically to synchronize data (rsync server) the directory of archives with a remote control.
  -daily archive logs on the server host are bzip. Purge of these newspapers is scheduled for more than 3 days rman 'window of recovery '.
  
  I'm interested in feedback as to if our strategy around archiving logs is correct or not.
  
  Should we be backup logs archiving via RMAN? Are there potential problems with our approach?
  We just kept our backups in this way the DBA in the past want to see newspapers archived as opposed to it while a backupset.
  
  Curious to know what others are doing.

  Hello

  Welcome to OTN!

  Archivelogs with RMAN backup is a better option. When the archives are supported by RMAN, RMAN would be aware of the backup items which are required at the time of the recovery archives. You don't have to do it manually.

  On the disk space, you can delete the archives once they were saved by RMAN.

  RMAN > delete any backup archivelog entry;

  This supports the archivelogs and then remove the archives from the disk.

  If you have a dataguard configured, you can set the deletion policy 'applied on Eve', which removes the archives as and when they are applied to the database ensures there by the management of disk space again.

  RMAN > configure archivelog political of deletion to applied pending;

• It is advisable to use RMAN backups?

  Hello

  Currently in our production databases, they took only the export dumps in every day.

  Is it advisable if we use RMAN backups?

  Expdp/impdp we can import the dump and create a database in UAT as same as production.

  If we opt for RMAN, is it possible to restore the backup as expdp to test if necessary?

  Thanks in advance.

  As others have said or implied, it is MORE than advisable.  I would declare it like this: If you want to stay independent as a DBA, it is mandatory.  Without him, there will come a time where you will lose data.  And which violates the Prime Directive for the DBA.

  Expdp/impdp we can import the dump and create a database in UAT as same as production.

  Which may or may not be very well to "Refresh" a test database, but it is not acceptable for the recovery of a database of lost output unless you accept BOTH of the following:

  (1) potentially to recreate an 'empty' database to replace the lost production database.

  1 a) potentially lose required components of database and/or configurations because you have forgotten/don't do them after the recreation of the empty database

  (2) lose all data that has been added to the database once your instant export has been taken.

  Do you think all the foregoing as an acceptable risk for your organization?

  If we opt for RMAN, is it possible to restore the backup as expdp to test if necessary?

  Definitely.  Why wouldn't be?  With rman for your primary backup strategy does not prevent you to export for any purpose you want to do with them.

  I have 4 key production databases.  For three of them, I update their counterparts in test with rman backups. For the fourth, I use exports.

  Thanks in advance.

• Can RMAN backup in 2 places due to the lack of space?

  Oracle 11.2.0.4 on RHEL 6.4

  We have a DB production with RMAN backup (L0) enlarged with compression of 400 GB. We usually tape backup. But, today, I need to save this DB for the local file system.

  I don't have a single file with 400 GB of free space system. But, I

  /ora_backup with 300 GB freespace

  and
  

  /U04 with 150 GB freespace

  Is it possible to load RMAN instead of 300 GB of backup in the directory/ora_backup/rman pieces and the remaining items of backup to the directory/u04/rman ?

  Hello

  You can use a running script rman with two channels and write each channel on a different disk location, but be sure to choose the number of data file (size of the data file).

  RMAN > run

  {

  ALLOCATE CHANNEL c1 DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT ' / ora_backup/%U';

  ALLOCATE CHANNEL c2 DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT ' / u04/%U';

  BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL = 0

  (CHANNEL DATAFILE 1,2,3,4 c1)

  (DATAFILE 5,6,7 CHANNEL c2);

  }

  In this example:

  I choose to backup datafile 1, 2, 3 and 4 on the /ora_backup directory, I choose to backup datafile 5, 6 and 7 on the /u04 directory.

• How to remove a deleted database RMAN backups?

  Hi people,
  
  1, created a 10g database
  2, rman (with recovery catalog) to create and manage backups
  3, dropped to the database (I forgot to use the drop backup option)
  
  
  Is it possible to purge with rman backups now? Or will I have to manually delete all the files?
  
  Thanks in advance
  
  rogers42

  You can cancel the registration of catalogue database, but you must delete the backups manually. To uregister execute under connection as the owner of the catalog. First get DBID form rc_database view and anticipate that, as an argument to the procedure below:

   exec dbms_rcvcat.unregisterDatabase(db_id => 3888161139);
