How to skip unwanted tablespaces restoration and recovery

DB version: 11.2.0.1.0
Version of the OS: AIX 6.1

I have a full backup (level 0, level 1, archives, controlfile, spfile) for a database. Now, I have to restore and recover the database on another server. I know that some storage spaces that are not necessary. This means, the tablespace are just for the backup of tables etc. and storage spaces are not recovered & restored then also it very well. My main idea is to save time by not restore & recovery of unwanted files. Here is the output of outline report.

But in the newspapers, I don't see that datafile 4 is always restored which means that I spend more time on the restoration of files that I need. Is it possible to do that?

Hello;

You can make a leap like this:

RMAN > RECOVER DATABASE SKIP users TABLESPACE; (for multiples use the comma between)

Temp history, RESTORE DATABASE SKIP TABLESPACE;

You will need to provide the Tablespace names in single quotes.

Your RESTORE command must also include SKIP TABLESPACE tablespacename or SKIP FOREVER TABLESPACE tablespacename to exclude the specific tablespace.

  • DB restoration and recovery when you use followed the change block

    Does anyone know of a document that explains the restoration of the database and recovery when you use the block and the incremental backups the track changes? I understand how to turn the OTC market, and how it can shorten the time to do an incremental backup. I need advice when choosing the frequency of backups of 1-0 and level level and how it affects my food options. I also need to decide if the level 1 backups update the copy of most recent data on the disk file.

    If the copy of the data on disk file is updated by each level 01:00 am I right to say that I can restore to point in time that this moment occurs after level 1 has been taken? If so, then maybe I don't have level 1 update the copy of the data file on disk. If I take a level 0 Sunday and daily level 1 Monday - Saturday, so I think I can restore to any point in time after the 0 level.

    A lot of documentation explains my backup options, but there is less material tell how my backup choice affects my food options.


    Thank you
    Bill

    BCT applies to backups only, there is no connection with the restoration.
    I think you are confused about the difference between

    (1) incremental of backups
    and
    (2) "normal incremental backups".

    In the first case (see http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmbckba.htm#CHDEHBFF), in the base implementation because an incremental backup is applied to a still image copies and you cannot go back to an earlier point in time – before the changes applied.

    'Normal' incremental backups are done after a full backup (level 0), you can return to the level 0 backup earlier.
    RMAN follows rules of detention, in the basic version of an incremental backup that is updated, you have a retention of redundancy policy 1. This means that a full backup (image of copies, which are updated by the incremental backups again and again) is available.
    Backup incremental 'Normal' in most cases after a few days recovery windows - a time window.

  • [HELP] Problem with the restoration and recovery in the new host

    Hi, guys!

    I have tried for two days, but still can't make it work.
    I took a hot (online) full backup archive as well as the control file logs with the SPFILE and then copy the backup to the new host with the same directory structure and parameters. Finally, I tried to restore and recover the database on the new host, but failed during the restore process.

    The original host and the new host have the same subject Oracle installed until the patch level. I couldn't understand the solution to this problem based on my knowledge on Oracle DB.

    Could someone help me out here? Any advice would be appreciated!

    In short, the RCS of the controlfile will be generally higher than corresponding SCN of the data in the event of hot backup (online) file; However, the two SNA will be the same in the case of cold (off-line) backup. Am I entitled?

    Yes, it's true. In a backup cold (assuming that the CLOSURE was not a SURRENDER but was NORMAL, TRANSACTIONAL, or IMMEDIATE) all files in the database (data files, redo log and controlfiles files) are 'compatible' - at the same point in time, to the same SCN. In a hot backup, the files are updated. RMAN is not necessarily take all the data files at the same time - for example when you have several data files, RMAN would backup the files in batches of 4 or 8 - data files are therefore controlled at different points in time. Similarly, the controlfile is saved last.

  • How to format a Dell Backup and Recovery DVD disc copy?

    In 2013, when I bought my Dell Inspiron 15R is 7520, it was preinstalled with the Windows 8.0 operating system. Using the Dell B & R software right now, I created 8.0 Windows system image in different regions in 3 DVDs.

    Since then I have had then improved to 8.0 Windows 8.1 and year last at 10.

    To avoid the loss of data in case of failure of equipment/system, I created the image of the system of Windows 10 in an external hard drive (WD Passport 1 TB).

    But other readings suggested that I also need to create a bootable in case system repair disc if Windows refused to load. That's why I wanted to format the disks from windows 8.0 image I created in the year 2013. However, the disks are write protected and I can't format it.

    Can someone tell me how to format disks that are protected from writing software Dell B & R?

    Thank you.

    If the media is DVD-R or + r, it is write - once.  You will need new discs to make a new recovery boot disc.

    If it's on DVD - RW or + RW, you can format the disks using Windows or another utility (Cyberlink, Nero, etc) and re-use the disks.

  • RMAN restore and recovery

    Hello

    If I have two full backups in my FRA (say 7 to 14 days)

    Q1. I assume that if I run it.

    RMAN > restore database;

    It will go to the last backup (7 days ago)?

    Q2. How to restore the backup of ago 14 days instead?

    Q3. If I restore the database of 14 days but then question

    RMAN > recover database until < 3 days >

    RMAN would simply apply the recovery logs archived for 14 days to the point of recovery or it would be smart enough to realize, there a backup to restore all first 7 days ago, then apply 7 days recovery logs, to the point of recovery?

    Q4. Can you do an online backup as a copy of the Image instead of a backup set or you can offline backups when you use a copy of the Image?

    All wisdom, greatly appreciated

    Jim

    (1) switching is not required for recovery. You have just enough do to standardize the data files. It doesn't matter if the switch is produced or not.

    (2) "extra small set of archivelogs" can be enormous if the backup is long-term with many DML during backup.

    You need a sufficiently archivelogs, regardless of the copy backupset or image, to make the data files in compliance.

    (3) hot RMAN copy backup data files, while they are updated, but in order to avoid a block inconsistent read to avoid corruption. The data files are not frozen, as with the hot user managed backup.

    It may depend on what type of failure, you mean. You can check with the BACKUP from the LISTavailable backups, but you can also consider using RESTORATION... OVERVIEW. You can also consider RESTORATION... VALIDATE, but it may take much longer.

  • How can I recover the files and programs before a system restore? my document folders are all empty and my programs will not open!

    How can I recover the files and programs before a system restore?  my document folders are all empty and my programs will not open!

    I know they are there and hidden somewhere, but this restoration took my settings of the computer to 2004! We lost all our data, our software that we use to operate our company at home, our quickbooks that has all our financial data, family photos, videos, Outlook will work not so no e-mail, all turned in time and 6 years ' worth of documents have disappeared.

    What happeneded was that I was trying to upgrade to quickbooks software when I got an error, I cancelled out of the facility, then restarted and that's when I got an error hal.dll something? I thought about a system restore would allow me to go back in time to just before when the error occurred, but he basically took my computer back to factory settings, so all the programs that I installed and paid hundreds of dollars for the past six years has disappeared, Microsoft Office and very expensive construction estimating software that we wil have to pay once AGAIN for If I can't get this program working properly.

    I am a fool! I can't believe what's happening.

    Someone at - it instructions on how I can retrieve either the programs and data that I need specifically or how to go and seek shade from the files I read online on and restore my computer for about 12 hours ago?

    Thank you all!

    Looks like you did a system rather than a system restore recovery.  If you have inserted a disc supplied with your machine and booted from it, you probably erased the disc and installed the original operating system provided with your computer.  Usually, a step in this recovery is to do a full format or quick of your drive.  If you did a full format, your data is permanently lost.  With a quick format, your data may still be there, somewhere but inaccessible by normal means.  Applications must generally be installed, in order to recover the files probably will not help unless you have the original installation media.  Your other data files (images, videos, financial data) may be salvageable, but at this point, it would be advisable to take your computer or your disk to a business/professional who is experienced with data disc recovery.  It will be cheap and there is no guarantee.

    Impatient, remember investigate you a backup strategy for your computer and critical data.  Hard drives can go wrong with little or no warning.

  • Statrted of Vista in safe mode and systm recovery restores and no recoverydisk not found?

    Statrted of Vista in safe mode and systm recovery restores and no recoverydisk not found? Sys restore is off and will not turn on and due to safemode noting els / programs will not work. is there a way out?

    Hi Jeff,

    1. you receive messages or error codes?

    2. did you of recent changes on the system?

    If you are able to boot into safe mode without any problem, you can try to perform a clean boot and check if it helps.

    Method 1:

    A clean boot to check if startup item or services to third-party application is causing this issue.

    You can read the following article to put the computer in a clean boot:

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

    Method 2:

    If you are always faced with the question, then you can check if you can start your computer by using the known last good Configuration feature and fix the problem.

    You can read the following article to do the same thing:

    Using the last good known Configuration

    Method 3:

    If the steps above fail, then you must have a full version of Windows Vista disk and try to perform a repair of the boot to WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment) boot from the installation disc.

    If restarting fails, then try to perform a restore of the system to WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment).

    For more information, you can consult the following article:

  • I ran a restore and lost all my files. I can get back them some how

    I ran a restore and lost all my files (more importantly photos).  I can get back them some how

    Hello

    Log in as ADMIN

    Your photos and other files should still be there under C:\Users\Your user Name\

    Sounds like your account became corrupted or affected by malware?

    You can try to fix it with Safe Mode - repeatedly press F8 as you bootup. The ADMIN account in trunk
    Mode has no default password (unless someone has changed the password so it should be available).

    Use the Admin account hidden to lower your user account APPLY / OK then wear again to
    ADMIN. This allows clear of corruption. Do the same for other accounts if necessary after the
    above message.

    You can use the hidden - administrator account to make another account as an ADMINISTRATOR with your same
    password (or two with the same password) use a test or difficulty to another.

    You can run the command Admin account hidden from the prompt here if
    necessary.

    always leave to an Admin who is not used except for testing and difficulty account).
