It's safe I have delete my backup of data files? -Help-

I am running a windows 7 Ultimate and I was just wondering if it is safe to delete my backup file because it takes a huge amount of space. And data backup files continue to grow and more and more, they can take a huge amount of space! With mine it reached 71 Go all of a sudden and I really who has not noticed until that moment!


There is an option called view backups and when I open it, it shows me the backup file that contains a Go Go 71! and when I clicked once, he asks me if I want to remove it. So please help me guys, I'm really confused... is it safe?


It's just like that...




I said that your backup doesn't seem to work correctly because the image of your backup you posted above does not appear weekly backups and there is no way you have 71.5GBs data unless you have a lot of photographs and others.  Try your backup again and see what happens.  You can experiment as well now that you have removed your old backup. It won't matter if you delete again at this stage. It's only further down the road if you lose some of your data and you need to restore the lost data backup is useless. Let me know how you get on if you wish.  See you soon

  • Backup of Windows 7 - automatically delete old backups of data

    Hello

    I use Windows 7 backup tool to back up my files and create a system image. I found a way under "space management" to affect the backup automatically only keep the latest version of the image of my system. Is it possible to do this with the file level backup? I do not want to have to continue to go and Delete older backups?

    Thank you

    Hi David _Triumph Technologies_,.

    There is no option available for saving file as its by design you will need to manually delete the backups to free up space.

  • Restore a specific full backup of data file to a new location

    Hello

    I have a test instance (10.2.0.4). I took a full backup of the database and has fallen to a data file.

    Now, I created an auxiliary Instance where I restored the controlfile since the full backup to help:

    RMAN > run {}
    up to the time "to_date('2011-03-16:15:09:00','yyyy-mm-dd:hh24:mi:ss')";
    Restore controlfile to ' / home/rtest/aux/control01.ctl';
    }

    Now, what is the procedure to restore the deleted data file in ' / home/rtest/aux/***.dbf';

    Help, please.

    Thanks in advance.

    Kind regards.

    You can 'Transport' the Tablespace containing the datafile after completing the Point in time of recovery on the auxiliary.

    All data in the tablespace must be made up - for example, you can't FKs referencing tables in other storage spaces.

  • Failed to backup all data files

    Hello
    I registered my DB goal in the catalog DB.
    Then when I checked the rman DF table I could see only 6 data files while I have 7 data files.
    Here, I could see my temp datafile.

    total - system, tools, WITH data files, rbs, HLCC_LOB. Temp Index

    can one explain why it's happening like this, and how can I ackup my temp folder

    Tablespace TEMP is not saved. They are not necessary for recovery. Since the 10g, temporary datafiles will be recreated by RMAN during recovery of the database, otherwise, you can re-create the temporary file yourself.

  • RMAN change the backup of data files directory

    Hi all!

    I have question for RMAN. My backups keep in fast_recovery_area (/ opt/oracle/fast_recovery_area). I want to change the path of my fast_recovery_area to another location. I've changed that through SQL more command: ALTER SYSTEM SET DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST = ' / opt/oracle/backup ' SCOPE = BOTH SID ='* ';

    Now, my fast_recovery_area is in this path/opt/oracle/backup. In the fast_recovery_area, I have 4 folders (archivelog, autobackup, backupset datafile). All folder is created in the new location and RMAN write successfully the file on the new location except a single file (datafile). How can I change this option for this folder that writes to the new location. P.S datafile directroy have * dbf files backed up nightly.

    Thank you!

    You use an incremental update strategy of backup.  The level 1 backup is always aware of the 'previous' 0 level backup in the old location, so it is not a fee L0 backup in the new location.  You can remove the old backup, run a BACKUP DUPLICATION and OVERLAPPING COPY OF DATABASE for Oracle to be aware that the L0 backup no longer exists.  Then, run a fresh backup for Oracle create a new backup of L0.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or

  • Computer crash update to OS 10.6 / funny backup of data &amp; files

    Hello.  My OS 10.4.11 macmini crashed.  I had saved web data.  I installed Dreamweaver 8 on a new MacBook Pro OS 10.6 and transferred the data an expternal hardrive.  When I used my finder to try to open the local/html it opens the actual web page not the Dreamwearver window.  The icons in my Dreamweaver Finder file do not have the small icon "D"; Instead, they have what looks a bit like a Quiktime icon, square with a blue graph in its Center (very small and difficult to distinguish).  My site works perfectly. so I think the correct data is there somewhere and I can reset up my local and remote files so I can get back to work (local and remote files are not set right, no more). The Dreamweaver has opened, but the file pages were not good; local and remote of were files ' visible nt.  If my site (www.scorby.com) still works fine, I think that this is not a lost cause.

  • Retrieve a data file from a backup on another server

    Hi all

    I usually take backup hot data files to a different like that server because I don't have enough space in the same server. I have

    SQL > alter tablespace XXXX begin backup;
    SCP/bu1/oradaTA/XXXXX/XXXXX host [email protected]: / db1dw/oradata/backup/dec2010/XXXX
    alter tablespace end OPS backup;

    If I want to recover the datafile can I normally do the drop offline from the data file and copy the backup data file that is located in differnet thorugh scp server and check the online data file? and the database is in archivelog mode, but I dislike abt log files. I just need to recover the data file as the last backup.
    or do we have to use all the controls recover datafile? If need to use everything recover datafile command go where it will recover the data file?

    I have not any backup or restore script, I just manually PCs from data files.

    Help please, thanks in advance...

    It is a ' user backups managed by "in the terminology of the Oracle.
    The database does not care how you copy (backup or restore) the data file from a backup location. So, you can use scp to copy the backup to the backup file.
    HOWEVER , you can recover only a datafile to the single point of the backup. Given that the rest of the database (i.e. all the other data files) have advanced further, you must RETRIEVE the DATA file and apply all ArchiveLogs since this backup of data file point to the current point (i.e. recovery would be until it again online that would apply automatically).
    Therefore, if you have had the "transactions" (e.g. deletions) against this tablespace, they will be replayed.

  • Windows 7 backup the .pst file

    I am using windows 7 backup and restore files from backup on a portable drive external usb. When I look in the files*.zip of backup, I don't find my local Outlook .pst file. Backup and restore tell me that this file was skipped. Why this file should be excluded from the backup? What is the size of the 5 GB .pst file?

    You need to do a small amount of work at home in order to determine the current settings on your machine. If you let Windows choose what should be saved and then the user AppData folder is included in the backup:
    Let Windows choose

    If you let Windows choose what is backed up, the following items are included in your backup:

    Data files that are saved in libraries, on the desktop and by default to the Windows folders for all people with a user account on the computer.

    Notes

    • Only local files in libraries are included in the backup. If you have files in a library that are saved on a drive located on a different computer on a network, on the Internet, on the same drive that you are saving the backup on, or on a drive that is not formatted using the NTFS file system, they are not included in the backup.

    • The default Windows folders include AppData, Contacts, desktop, downloads, Favorites, links, saved parties and searches.

    If you have made your choice, then you go and do control the folders that you have included in your choice:

    Since there is no brand graduation against my AppData folder, it will not be saved.

  • Way to delete a data file

    Version: 11.2.0.2
    Platform: AIX 6.1

    My first post on this has been moved by someone from the community of ASM. I deleted this post and I post it here.

    Our tablespace application ran out of space, and we had no free space left in our system of data files. We had little space left in the file system for archiving logs. Because it was urgent, I added a file of 10 GB data to this tablespace BUT in the files system to archive logs. The next day, administrators added system space to our system of data files. Now, we have enough space in the data files system and we want to move the data file mentioned above for the file system to store the data files.

    The data file resides in the archive disk group
    /ltmprod_arch/LTMPROD/cmdata07.dbf
    I want to delete the data above and add it in the file system for the data: /ltmprod_data
    /ltmprod_data/LTMPROD/cmdata07.dbf
    What is the cleanest way to do this?

    Published by: Kavanagh on March 27, 2012 08:08
    Removed the word disk group

    This can be done without a DB downtime. But the tablespace must be taken offline

    Step1. Take the tablespace offline
    ALTER TABLESPACE yourtbs OFFLINE ;
    
    Step2. Take a bkp of the datafile and move to the new location

  • Problems with duplicate DATA when the data file was added after the backup completes

    Hello

    I am facing a problem when running of duplicate database with the command of database duplicate RMAN on a 10 g database. If I have the duplication from a full backup that is missing a data file that has been added to the database after the full backup of preforms, I get the following error message:
    Starting restore at 10-10-2009 18:00:38
    
    released channel: t1
    released channel: t2
    RMAN-00571: ===========================================================

    RMAN-06026: some targets not found - aborting restore
    RMAN-06100: no channel to restore a backup or copy of datafile 43
    Redo log which was Pond at the time of the creation of 43 of the data file is also available in the backups. It seems that RMAN cannot use the log information archived redo to restore the content of the data file 43. I guess that because failure is already reported in the RESTORATION and not in the RECOVERY phase, so again the archived logs are not available yet. I get the same message even if I do another backup of the data file 43 (so a backup that is not in the same backupset as the backup to all the other data files).
    The script, the command duplicate product, I guess that RMAN reads the contents of the source database controlfile and trying to get a backup that contains all the data files to restore the database Assistant - if such a backup is not found, it fails.


    Of course, if I try to perform a restore/recovery of the source database, it works without problem:
    RMAN> restore database;
    
    Starting restore at 13.10.09
    using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
    allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
    channel ORA_DISK_1: sid=156 devtype=DISK
    
    creating datafile fno=43 name=F:\ORA10\ORADATA\SOVDEV\SOMEDATAFILE01.DBF
    channel ORA_DISK_1: starting datafile backupset restore
    channel ORA_DISK_1: specifying datafile(s) to restore from backup set
    restoring datafile 00001 to F:\ORA10\ORADATA\SOVDEV\SYSTEM01.DBF
    .....
    The 43 data file is re-created and then redo is applied to the course.

    So, does anyone know if the duplicate database can use archived redo logs to recreate the contents of a data file, as does a normal restore/recovery? If this is the case, then it is necessary to perform a full backup before each duplicated if a data file has been added after such a backup database.

    Thanks in advance for any answers.

    Kind regards
    Swear

    Hi swear,.

    I got exactly the same problem during replication.
    Because we backup archive logs every 6 hours with rman, I added an additional block of running this script.
    run
    {
    backup incremental level 0
    format "% d_ % s_ %%t p_ bk_ '.
    filesperset 4
    database not saved;
    }

    (I also hit a bug in the catalogue which was resolved by patching up the dbs catalog 11.1.0.6, 11.1.0.7 for.)

    This will restrict the data not making file not part of any backup rman 6 hours while jumping for which there is already a backup of data files.

    Kind regards

  • Delete older backups time machine from the server

    I have a small number of iMacs here that back up using Time Machine on our local network to an external hard drive on an iMac running server. I added a second external hard drive and I say most of the Mac to use instead. Once they have saved once the new drive safely - how can I remove the old backup of the first disc? Is it safe to just delete the sparsebundle to it? Or is there a way to do it properly

    TIA

    Andy

    Yes, it is safe to delete the sparsebundle in the old media from backup after you remove as the backup location and create your 1st upward on the new location. Since your iMac is now pointing to the new backup media, they are more associated in the former. If you have no other Mac backup on old media, you can simply reformat.
