• RMan backup to tape

  Hello
  
  1 at - it no differnece between rman full backup and backup of level 0 to increment. If so, what is that.
  
  2. why tape backup, taking a lot of time to fill in when comparing the type of backup device.
  Backup size is also very high. Why is it?
  
  
  Imran

  1. Yes, there is a difference - you cannot perform any additional number 1 or above backups on a backup however on an additional workforce 0 you can (see documentation).

  2. the device may be SBT or DISC - SBT means Media Manager which can technically be somewhere, a disk drive. When you write data on broadband network is slower than directly on the drive (if it's asking your question). Size of backup depends on the database, if you want to reduce the size at the expense of the syntax «backup as compressed backupset...» "use backup/restore time.

  So, I issue the command 'lsvol - a - c' and could not display expired on all media content.

  Why OSB no has not select and replace the tape media despite the rman rman default retention policy (3days) all show the setting.

  Why OSB does not have the expired status of rman content on tape media?

  Q2 > selection procedure for the tape media all backup rman

  Suppose the total number of tape media is 5EA. (1,2,3,4,5) with an available tape LTO5 drive.

  Status: 1 (full-rman content already expired), 2 (content integral-rman not expired), 3 (editable, remaining space), 4 (new media), 5 (currnet wring media)

  If OSB burn now 5 and reach at the end of the Strip and possibly another media, media to be selected by the OSB?

  Advanced thanks.

  If I place the order obsolete in the rman script as 'delete type 'SBT_TAPE' noprompt obsolete device;' the results will be the same as your

  the syntax because rman default setting (CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY to RECOVERY WINDOW OF 3 DAYS ;) has already been fixed on the command "Show all", right? @)

  Yes.

  I use the catalog of recovery on a different database and backup script has catalog db connection string.

  And if I only use controlfile instead of recovery catalog to save the backup information and put in place "control_file_record_keep_time" a default of 7 days to 365 days, "remove obsolete" command to remove several weeks backupset works well, is it not?

  Possible problem are existing backups for several weeks if you left default control_file_record_keep_time. Change now will not help unless you catalog later manually all the old pieces not catalogued on tape backup.

  After you clean up the situation and particularly to remove obsolete in your script, rman, you will never make problems with control_file_record_keep_time from this moment. By default will do just fine because it is larger than your window of recovery.

• 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.

• Cloning of DB on another tape RMAN backup server

  RDBMS version: 11.2.0.2 on Solaris 10
  Media management layer: Netbackup v7
  
  I did only the tape backup. I never did restore, recovery of a band.
  
  We have a production DB named NEHPROD currently running on the server qualmh214. Every Monday morning a RMAN full backup to NEHPROD is taken on the Strip.

  Production server : qualmh214        DB Name:NEHPROD
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  run
  {
  ALLOCATE CHANNEL c1 TYPE 'SBT_TAPE';
  SEND 'NB_ORA_CLIENT=qualmh214,NB_ORA_POLICY=qualmh214_rman,NB_ORA_SERV=qualmh238,NB_ORA_SCHED=Daily';
  backup database   FORMAT 'NEHPROD_%d_%U_%t.rbk' tag='NEHPROD_full';
  }

  I need to create a Test database in another server (qualmh199) by restoring directly since the full backup from NEHPROD Ribbon.
  
  
  Of qualmh199, how can I connect to the server to tape media?
  
  Even if I connect to the server to Tape Media, how can I have access to backups on tape to another DB? In the block RMAN run, you can specify a name of the comic. Right?
  
  Although I have access to the backup of the DB, how can I specify full backup of Date to which I need to use it to restore?

  Of qualmh199, how can I connect to the server to tape media?

  You must assign channels to strip & need to mention the NB settings like example below.

  in the RMAN script
  ALLOCATE CHANNELS CH1 DEVICE TYPE SBT_TAPE PARMS 'SBT_LIBRARY=/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/libobk.so64 ';
  SEND "NB_ORA_SERV =, NB_ORA_CLIENT =';"

  Even if I connect to the server to Tape Media, how can I have access to backups on tape to another DB? In the block RMAN run, you can specify a name of the comic. Right?

  If the libraries are installed and you able to perform, you can go for the double or single RMAN restore database. You can also mention other DB names

  Ex: duplicate target database to 'test ';

  Although I have access to the backup of the DB, how can I specify full backup of Date to which I need to use it to restore?

  You mention the tag if you use RMAN restore.

• RMAN using netbackup tape backup agent

• RMAN backup to disk vs. tape

  AIX R 2
  Oracle: 10.2.0.4
  
  I tested strategies of rman backup on a database in noarchivelog (development) using the following command:
  (*) note: if db is in noarchivelog then you must make a backup, cold have mounted db but not opened.
  
  RMAN > backup database format ' / a010/d01/bck/%U'
  
  I found that this rman backup disc about 2 GB per minute. Now, I want to test it on tape to compare settings.
  
  Question: Which configurations RMAN should write directly to tape?
  What are the safeguards to write to tape? I have to specify the channel of the band and also where the output format is written?
  
  Thank you all.

  Ok

  You must install the Oracle for Tivoli driver (eventually sold with Tivoli) and install it in your Oracle software tree.
  You can set up your channels to write to tape (this is documented).
  For the rest, there is no difference, although there is no directory name.

• How to restore RMAN backups

  Hello

  I tried to include works of RMAN Oracle 12 c

  If I use the following command, I should have the backuppiece and the archivelog saved in a folder:

  RMAN > BACKUP database DATA PLUS ARCHIVELOG;

  If I ran this command in 4 different days, which I ended up having 4 folders with different inside files

  I guess that, in these files, I have the data files and the archivelogs

  Now I move these folders to tape, re-cutting the backups and delete expired

  Say that in a month, I need one of these backups if I put a band records and I added start with 'c:\path_of _restored_folder _L', so I added all files in the folder that I restored from tape

  Now, if I try to restore the basis of all is well but when I run the recover, it is missing some archiving logs it says

  If I put all the files for 4 days then he finds the archivelog she needs and pick up without problem

  on this basis I understand that in the folder containing a backuppiece of a specific day there is the newspaper of archive that I needed to recover from the DB, is that true? How can I know if the backups folder I need to replace in order to have all the required log archiving?

  At the moment my DB retrieves only if I handed out the Ribbon last backup folder, if I handed out the previous, it restores, but is not recover

  Also I have this configuration of the oracle recovery 3 days window maintains backups in order to be able to restore and recover the last 3 days and he simply deletes all obsolete if the FRA is full

  I tried earlier to set up the window of 3 days as a test recovery

  I ran a few backups and after that I ran the 5th FRA leak out of space and the backup fails

  I expect rman to remove the old backup and make way for a new that I have 5 backuppiece and the FRA is full, why he not do?

  Thank you

  The default behavior of RECOVER is to make a full recovery - right until the transactions today.  So it must all archivelogs.

  If you want to restore and recover to a point in time, use the SET clause to THAT specify a sequence of the newspaper or time or SNA.  Oracle will then not get beyond that point in time - that is to say he will not seek further archiving logs.

  (Ideally, when you restore an old backup, I also begins to restore the old controlfile, then using this controlfile).

  If you use the FRA in this way

  a. set db_recovery_file_dest_size and db_recovery_file_dest

  b. * not * used a FORMAT clause in the BACKUP command

  Oracle will recognize all backups in the FRA (you can check by querying V$ FLASH_RECOVERY_AREA_USAGE before and after the backup).

  In this case, Oracle can and will automatically purge outdated backups - that is to say any backup older than the retention period, provided that there is at least a L0 or backup complete closest to the retention period.  You should see messages to this effect in the alert of the instance database log file.

• Restore the RMAN backup on another server

  Hello

  ENV: Oracle 10 g 2 64 bit, RHEL 5.8 64 bit on ASM, Database size = ~ 1.3 to

  Backup RMAN of PROD will FRA and then backed up to tape. I have limited access to the PROD because it is maintained by 3rd party.

  My client is planning to move this database on their own datacenter (from the 3rd party data center). For test purposes, I asked DBA of 3rd party to provide us with an export of drawings required data pump. Export takes about 8 hours, and the import takes the same time to the new location. To copy the files exported to new locations takes another few hours (over the network). The total size of the dump file is around 500 GB. Thus, a whole cycle of Export-Import-copy takes about ~ 20 + Hrs.

  I want to try another option to reduce the time required for the updating of the database of PROD and which is "use RMAN backup of PROD ' and restore it on the data center server. RMAN full backup takes ~ 4hrs PROD and the restoration should be at the same time (new server has better and faster HW, storage with a SSD). I found this thread very useful on the Oracle Forms on this topic:

  Restore backup RMAN on another server

  This thread contains very good example for a restoration of database on the file system.

  I have a bit of confusion because my database uses ASM. The default location of the backups in PROD is FRA (on ASM == > db_recovery_file_dest = + FRA ). If I understand correctly, the RMAN backup must be in the same place where he was on the PROD Server - i.e. the diskgroup FRA.

  If I get a copy of the part 3 RMAN backup, how would I copy on FRA?

  OR can / should I just change the init parameter "db_recovery_file_dest" on the new server to point to the file system directory where the backup (say "/ ora_backup") and RMAN will pick up and restore the database?

  Please advise!

  Best regards

  You can restore the backup files to any location, then you must configure the channel using the "CONFIGURE CHANNEL device type disk format 'new location ';

  FRA does not support automatic growth. So if you have exhausted the space, you have to check what backups you have on it and try to move to the tape and then drive delete or just delete using the delete backup command. To increase the space within the FRA, you must have with you the additional disks that would improve your FRA.

• 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';

  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.
