Hot and cold backup

Hello, in my system (oracle 9), we take, we take backups hot quite frequently.
We also take cold weekly backups.
Today, our system requires more running time, and so there was a discussion if we stop taking cold or no backups.

Can someone please advise, whether cold backups are necessary in this case? do us injecy any additional risk risk of loss of data if we stop cold backup?


If not, when and under what circumstances cold backups are necessary?

Many databases never get a cold backup due to time requirements.

As long as you continue to take hot backups and keep your logs archive saved should be no reason why you should continue taking cold backups.

There are databases that I supported who have never had a cold backup.

  • Is make Journal required for backup of database hot and cold water?

    Hi Experts,

    Please explain--again it takes to backup of database hot and cold water?

    Thank you

    Did you backup managed user or RMAN backup. In RMAN backup, you only need logs archived. But in the cold backup managed user, you don't need the redolog also if the PB was properly arrested. Jut copy the DBF and controlfile and put it there to the target server and during the recovery of redolog files will be created automatically.

    Please note that the database must be correctly stopped before cold backup is taken.

  • Connect hot and cold sealing

    I just wanted to check the terms.

    A USB keyboard with a wire tangled at the back of the computer can be disconnected, sort out and reconnected without shutting down the computer first. USB devices are hot pluggable

    However, in the case of a PS2 Mouse tangle, the computer should be stopped first, then mouse can be plugged, unplugged and unraveled back in, then the computer can be restarted. PS2 devices are cold pluggable

    Should I have it correct?

    Hello

    Or the other of these two can be used. I'll you given scenarios.

    Scenario 1:

    You use your computer for internet, games, or other documents. Then all of a sudden the PS2 Mouse or keyboard has been deleted by someone at the back of your computer. Automatically the function of the mouse or keyboard does not work even your PC is on. If you have plugged their return, the mouse or the keyboard still does not work until you turned off the power and turned it back.

    Scenario 2:

    You move all of your PCs to another location. If your PC is turned off, you can unplug the PS2 Mouse and keyboard just a way. You have connected before you start the computer to the new location. Can you unplugged the keyboard and mouse PS2, while the PC is turned on. The problem is that you cannot close the PC correctly. Only by removing the power cable to the power outlet.

    The rule for connecting cold is, whenever the connection is broken you need to restart them. It allows a device to synchronize.

  • It is advisable to apply and take cold backup daily

    Dear all,

    It is advisable to stop the entire application and take a cold backup on a daily basis and start the application after taking the backup to cold every day.

    Please advice...

    Thanks in advance...

    It is advisable to stop the entire application and take a cold backup on a daily basis and start the application after taking the backup to cold every day.

    For a backup to cold, it is a good practice (if you can afford downtime). However, it is always recommended to have a backup hot for you do not have to kill the application/database, and in this case you can consider having a backup to cold at least once a week (depends on what changes you make to the application level).

  • Need for clarification for cold backup and restore

    Hi all...

    I have a lot of confusion about the cold backup and restore section.

    Already I posted a scanario this topic and I would like to know a few points of clarity to understand.


    1. I had cold backup two days before
    2. I create an object * (EMP) * and inserting some records can deliver log switch continiously.
    3. manually I deleted all the physical files (data files, files of control, files, papers, redolog files)
    4. then I published STARTING FORCE MOUNT;
    5. in this case, I get error identification control file.
    6. cold two days before all of the restored files backup
    6 then I run database recovery using backup controlfile until cancel;
    7. I'm issuing select * from emp; I get error
    select * from EMP
    * ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
    my QUESTION IS

    After that cold backup is complete, I created the table emp...
    during the restoration of old back "there is no emp table"

    * - Then I can retrieve table emp? -If Yes, please explain about this... *.


    Note: REF - LINK https://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=11056341#11056341

    -Link above says what I did? In this thread, I ask you to concept and logic...

    Please, consider NOT like ' * DOUBLE. "

    Not sure why you're confusing this issue? In your other thread, you applied a backup who had two days and there is no evidence that you apply to this log file to archive that had the table create in it. So if you have not restored this log file to archive who had your create table command, it will not be recovered. The most important for you to understand, it's that you have to have the newspaper the point for which you want to retrieve other archiving your recovery will not be able to move forward.

  • Is there a difference between a Hot Backup and online backup?

    Yes, these terms are used interchangeably.

  • Cold backup RMAN

    Basically I ask this question for a problem surrounding in another thread, but here go us:

    Suppose we take a COLD backup. I know, not something directly related with RMAN, but further action is:

    This guy says: I take a backup to cold, I copy the files to another server, on which he has made the necessary in order to start this database.

    But then, since the backup and the time of the action above, time is up.

    So, there are archived redologs... because the database is in archivelog mode.

    And he wants to do what is obvious: use these Redos archived, to update the database at a later stage in time.

    To be clear; the Oder archived are created by the source database. The target database has been copied and started, nothing else.

    If the backup is a backup hot, without issue. But because the backup is cold, it is not possible, right?

    My idea is that he must also take a hot backup, in addition.

    I asked already, and despite the execution of the database in archivelog mode, the backup must be taken cold, backup mode for some reason. It is probably the old method, who they now want to just add redolog recovery, but without change from cold to hot.

    At some point, RMAN must be running, of course.

    I guess that RMAN is used for the entire operation, not "at some point" (I see no reason not to).

    The cold food at the start is to make a clone. THEN, the question is asked, but can we also restore to a point more recent in time?

    Yes, you can recover the "clone" until a more recent point in time as long as you do not OPEN it, and you have all necessary archivelogs. The sequence:

    1 startup nomount

    2 restore controlfile

    3. change the editing of the database

    4 restore your cold backup (do not open the database)

    5. If necessary, catalogue archivelog backups

    6 back to the desired point in time

    7. alter database open resetlogs.

    But I repeat, why did you stop your databases, if that is not necessary? (of course I think of my dozens of databases 24 x 7).

  • Cold backup with online redo logs

    I'm working on 10G in AIX for a single instance
    It's just a general db backup & restore issue, but I have something confused.

    I'll take a cold backup with my database ARCHIVELOG.
    No wonder why make a backup of cold because it's a test database that can suffer from loss of data and the time during backup.
    I read some guides. They all mentioned to back up all the data files and control files.
    When restoring I copy all saved data files and control files to the default location.
    Then mount boot;
    Is the last step before opening the database recover database until cancel;
    For the acknowledgement, I do the database recovery command, because again the online newspapers were not saved, so we must recover in order to reset the redo logs.
    For my question, I would be in a position of order recovery of database, then directly the database starts, if I backed up online redo logs and copy the default location when restoring?
    However, I have read a lot of documents that mentions that it is not proposed to backup online redo logs. Is it simply the case that ONLY applied in the backup hot? Do you think all that for my case, cold backup online redo logs is recommended?

    Thank you all

  • cold backup

    Hello

    (1) can be applied cold backup archive logs (if we create controlfile & apply archives 'recover database using backup controlfile until Cancel;');

    As I have no doubt, so cold backup is a consistent backup it will allow to apply archives?

    (2) can restore us single file of the cold backup set?

    Yes, the application of archive logs is not limited to the cold/hot backup but depend on State that if there is a gap between the current redo and backup files. If this is the case, you will be asked to fill the gap by using newspapers to archive.

    As I have no doubt, so cold backup is a consistent backup it will allow to apply archives?

    Yes. There is nothing that backs up the cold/hot has to do with it. To make the coherent base, its going to be necessary.

    (2) can restore us single file of the cold backup set?

    You can, but you would need to apply the archivelogs to transform the file consistent with the rest of the database.

  • cold backup can use archivelog to recover the database to the point of failure?

    Hello

    I have little doubts. In any DB saying we have following conditions:

    (1) DB is running in ARCHIVELOG mode.
    (2) cold backup is performed every Sunday.
    (3) no backups hot or the RMAN backup is taken.

    so if any failure occurs during the week say Friday. can recover us our database to the point of failure with cold backup? If yes then pls specify the steps how to do it.

    Archiving log could apply on cold backup?


    Thank you
    Shailesh

    Yes. Just make sure that you use "with the HELP of BACKUP CONTROLFILE' so that Oracle ignores the sequence numbers and the SNA in the controlfile and guard"rolling-forward"until the last archivelog that provide you.
    If you have not lost all over again the logs files and want a complete recovery, you must provide log redo file names "as if they have been archived" after applying the last archivelog. This way, you will be able to achieve a complete recovery.
    Of course, you will need to OPEN RESETLOGS.

    Note:

    We suggest that you should try to update the Bios.

    The update of the Bios?

    Download the latest update of the Bios for your model specific here.

    Connect the power adapter to the netbook.

    Disconnect from the Internet. Close all running programs. Disable anti-virus and firewall.

    Double-click the Bios update exe file. It may take some time, so it is important to remain patient, not to interrupt the process. Allow the laptop to restart after applying the BIOS update.

    Although this update is running are not:

    • Turn off your laptop,
    • Disconnect the power adapter,
    • try to run any software or do anything on the laptop.

    Note:

    The Bios update process is always risky. You do this at your own risk.

  • How Controlfile SNA remain synchronized after moving the database with the cold backup

    Hello DBAs,

    I doubt that:

    Every time you pass a cold backup database. We create a new controlfile with new locations of data/redologs etc.

    And then we execute "create controlfile reuse...". noresetlogs...; "to create the controlfile.

    After that, we will open the database as > > alter database open;

    Now the question is:

    We are able to open the database without clause "resetlogs.

    Here, we create a new controlfile so SNA to controlfile will not be synchronized with the SCN of the datafile and redo the file.

    Please let me know how the new controlfiles' SNA is synchronized with the data file and redofile and wea are able to open the database without resetlogs clause.

    Oracle: 11.2.0.4

    OS: Linux

    If your cold backup also includes online redo logs, a RESETLOGS is not necessary.

    The controlfile is created if it does not have a SNA, it reads the data file headers the YVERT database. For a cold backup, all the headers of data file are consistent.  (This is also the reason why a RECOVERY is not required).

  • Recover the database by using cold backup

    Hi all

    One of the table is deleted accidentally by one of our DBA of PROD. We have a backup to cold on a day before.

    Now, we try to restore from the backup to cold. DB PROD is in archivelog and all the archives are in tact.

    The resulting table truncated today at 20:00. We can apply the database until 20:00 so that we can restore the table truncated using cold backup.

    Please find the steps we use to restore below.

    create controlfile

    from the db in State of Mt.

    recover the database;

    It will ask for last log archive when we try to get it back.

    ENV details-

    DB - 11.2.0.1

    Please suggest.

    Thank you

    create controlfile

    from the db in State of Mt.

    This method is not correct. Here are the four steps for incomplete recovery (which is what you need):
