Restore database from a cold backup

• 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

• 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).

• Restore database from a specific location

  Hello

  I'm on 11.2.0.3 on Windows 2008.

  I have a backup of my database of production on the network drive and I need to use this backup to construct my test database. To build the database of test, I copied the backup to network drive on my local drive on the test server and then restored the controlfile. After that, I catalogued the backup to local drive.

  Now, RMAN can recognize the backup on the network location (as controlfile has all the information of all backups) and also local backup. If I try to restore, it goes on the network to get to restore backupset. Is there a way I can ask RMAN to use my local backup rather than go on the network for the elements of the network drive backup?

  I know there is a "uncatalog" option available, that should be used for each backup piece and so tedious.

  (1) can I force RMAN to use my local backup only without going to the network drive for the archives?

  (2) at - it order to complete wipe all backups in a swoop of the repository so that I can catalog only local backups before I run the restore command?

  SAQ

  Yes, that's what I did.

  I should end this question by concluding that there is not available for the following commands

  (1) cannot specify backup location in the RESTORE command to mention a specific return, if there are several backups available.

  (2) there is no single command to remove all items from backup to a single backup set, from the RMAN Repository

• Creating a database from backups of the production test

  Hello Experts,
  
  I'm a newbie with a lot new in Oracle. I got the backup inc0 (which includes even backup controlfile) (PROD) production base taken by RMAN and asked to create a new test database (TEST) by using the backup. Can someone please give me the steps on how to restore and create the new database?
  
  The 10.2.0.4 basic version
  I am aware of the concept of duplicated with RMAN database, but I was asked to do not connect to the target (PROD) database while duplicating. So, I need to create the test database using the prod database backup without being connected to the PROD database. Please guide me.

  =====================================================

  You don't have to restore the full database. You just need to restore the backup controlfile and restore the database.
  The steps you mentioned are good restore the controlfile. After recovery, you must open the database in resetlogs.

• 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.

• Restore the cold backup

  Hello
  I made a cold backup of the database, and now I need to restore it.
  The problem is, when I did the back upward, it was in the C drive.
  Now I want to restore in the F drive.
  I get the error:
  ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 11 - see DBWR trace file

  What else should I saved the backup, with the exception of the data files?

  You do not have to re - create the controlfile.

  Just rename the data files

  Make sure that the database is in condition to ride .

   select ' alter database rename file '''||name||''' to '||name|| ';' from v$datafile;
  alter database rename file 'c:\appl\oracle\test\ystem01.dbf' to 'f:\appl\oracle\test\system01.dbf;
  

  The above will display your information data file of the controlfile. Change the drive/directory after to accordingly pointing to where you have these files and run the script.

  Now, try to open the database.

• A question about the restoration of cold backup (backup of control file is not clear)

  Hello
  
  I had another question about restoring from backup to cold. My database is in noarchivelog mode and after that take a consistent backup of cold, all I have to do is restore the backup right? -Why I got this question is because: when I save my control to trace file, I see statements like this: -.
  -Orders to recreate the table of the incarnation
  -Under journal names MUST be replaced by names of existing files
  -disc. The log files from each branch can be used for
  -re - create the folders of the incarnation.
  -LOGFILE of REGISTRY ALTER DATABASE ' / uo1/app1/arch1_1_647102958.dbf';
  -Recovery is required if any of the data files are restored backups.
  - or if the last shutdown was not normal or immediate.
  RECOVER THE DATABASE
  -Database can now be opened normally.
  ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
  -----
  My database is in noarchivelog mode now so don't know why these statements (of the registry the logfile) is there in the backup of the control file? so when I restore the cold backup of this database, it will still work OK? (there is no log file I only have the CRD files in cold don't backup - no log file archive.)
  
  Thank you
  Cedric

  It is a generic message in trace control file. It's not affect you.

• Backup and restore database, tablespace

  My oracle's 10g.
  I'm new to rman utility. When I tested the backup of database and a tablespace before making certain changes made to the data (e.g. Add folders to other tables or change or delete some records) and did surgery recovery and the restoration of the database and a tablespace after these changes. But I found that these changes have remained there.
  
  My directions of test:
  SQL > shutdown immediate;
  SQL > bootable media.
  RMAN > backup database;
  RMAN > backup all archivelog entry delete;
  SQL > alter database open;
  SQL > alter tablespace ABC offline immediate.
  RMAN > backup tablespace ABC include current controlfile;
  SQL > alter tablespace ABC Online.

  RMAN > restore tablespace ABC;
  RMAN > recover tablespace ABC;
  SQL > alter tablespace ABC Online.
  = CHANGES OF DATA SHOULD BE LOST. BUT NOW THAT ILS IS REST. WHY? ====
  
  Also, what is the difference between the database backup/restore/recovery and backup/restore/recovery tablespace? Or when is the time to use them?
  
  More practical is if I made a backup of database, at 10.00 and 3 backups tablespace ABC at 10:00 12:00, 14:00.
  Today at 20:00, I have 2 tasks:
  1. restore tablespace ABC 12:00 the status and create a new tablespace DEF, which is the same in ABC 14:00;
  2 put all the data of the ABC from 10:00 tablespace to another oracle newly installed in a newly installed machine.
  
  Can someone tell me how I can finish these tasks? Thank you very much!

  Hello

  Sorry for not being clear enough.

  This means that I can only recover data to the tablespace recovery state?

  Restore/recovery tablespace controls may lead to a full recovery.

  but I want only to restore a space at the beginning everything while keeping others more recent. What do you suggest me?

  If you want to make a point in time recovery for a subset of tablespaces, you must run a TSPITR.
  To do this, follow the link in my previous post.

  What you said really works. These changes losts. But I encounter another problem when retried the delivery and received a msg "RMAN-20207: until THE MOMENT or.
  RECOVERY WINDOW is before the RESETLOGS time' to the command "restore." What should I do now?

  By the , you have created a new incarnation of the database.
  If you want to restore to a point in time of the resetlogs before you change the incarnation (check first with: INCARNATION of the rman LIST).
  To restore an incarnation previous use:
  < reset="" database="" to="" incarnation...;="">

• can application not available I restore the data from an encrypted backup?

  I had to get my iPhone repaired, so I did a full backup to iTunes and reset Once it was fixed, I have restored the backup, but a few apps "could not be restored. In the case of the one that interests me, the app no longer seems to exist on the App Store - I found a link for it from a review of old, but the link is dead: the app no longer exists. Since it is an application that stores data on the heights of our children, and I had used it for a few years, I would like to be able to recover at least the RAW files of my support, even if the app no longer exists. It is not a large amount of data. The backup is encrypted, so none of the files have names that are meaningful, it is impossible to guess what file is associated with that particular application. Any suggestions?

  If you have the app in the iTunes library on your computer you can restore it from there.
