  This command is the full backup or a backup of level 0?

  full backup as compressed backupset
  data include current controlfile more archivelog deletion entry;

  We use command below for the full backup of database.
  database backup incremental level 0 FORMAT ' / backup/RMAN_Backup/rman_bkp_%U_%d_%T_DATAFILE_LVL0_%D_%M_%Y'
  include current controlfile
  tag 'datafile_full ';

  We use the command below to the increment backup
  database backup incremental level 1 FORMAT ' / backup/RMAN_Backup/rman_bkp_%U_%d_%T_DATAFILE_LVL1_%D_%M_%Y'
  include current controlfile
  tag 'datafile_Incr ';

  What is the different when we use
  CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBY;

  or

  full backup as backupset compressed database include controlfile current more archivelog delete all input;

• Only RMAN backup, restore the temporary files?

  DB version: 11.2
  Operating system platform: Solaris 10
  
  Can RMAN backup and restore temp files?
  I'm to recreate a database in a new server, when restoring, it's recommended to restore a temporary RMAN backup file? (if Rman can indeed save and restore temporary files). Or is it better to manually create temporary files in the new server?

  N ° RMAN does not backup TEMPFILEs. (so it does not restore them).
  You can not even explicitly issue a command to BACKUP for TEMPFILEs.

  The TEMPORARY file is re-created automatically when you OPEN the database - it is created at the location specified in the controlfile.

  So that's a little different situation from the initial, general issue.

  This situation Yes, create a new instance when the user that contains the data catalog rman since your last export import. The rman catalog is usually low volume enough this import will have no problem (we will assume that the export has not held while all backups rman-ducts were running).

  We know that your environment already relies on rman, since it is the rman catalog you save, you must familiarize yourself with rman still. Set up rman backup and restore for your sounds of database catalog rman as the perfect learning exercise that you improve on the procedures of your predecessor.

• recover the database by using the RMAN backup archivelogs

  Hello
  
  I tried to find the resolution of this problem in google a lot but couldn't find something useful.
  
  Location:
  
  We try to clone the dev environment of production that are completely on different servers and do not share a common mount point.
  Backup RMAN of PROD with RMAN as well as arch newspapers are kept in this mount point.
  We took control of backup files of PROD restored in DEV fired restore with recovery until a when not.
  Turns out that the sequence was not saved in right backupsets there if recovery has not requested more arch newspapers that are present in the PROD.
  Archs are stored in ASM and only way out is to take of RMAN backup of them.
  We control the file as a repository for RMAN.
  
  my questions are
  
  1. surely, I need to take backup of the control file after I take the log arch by RMAN backup and restore this file command in the DEV of so that when I start RMAN recovery in DEV, database will be able to find the backupset with arch newspapers. But the new restore a control file will delete the data files restored information?
  
  2. If we did not have a point of common Assembly and then after sending the backup destination elements how the database would be the locations of the game copied to the new location of the control file that is restored from the backup source?
  
  Suppose that in the source backups are stored in/backup/rman
  in destination copy us in/backup/clone
  in the PROD control file, their locations are saved in/backup/rman
  so if I restore this command file in custom DEV it find the elements of backup in/backup/rman?
  is it possible to save a backup of outside item in the control of a database file?
  
  
  3 al ' ASM, is there another way to extract the PROD archive logs and apply them to a cloned instance? (sending of newspapers without DR)
  
  The help is very appreciated.
  
  Kind regards

  1. .... But the new restore a control file will delete the data files restored information?

  N ° provided that you do not have renamed, moved or abandoned any of the data files that were already copied in DEV. (also, subject that you did not add da new Production data between two backups - otherwise the new controlfile file will wait as datafile also to be present at DEV).
  You will do an incomplete recovery until a certain SNA / sequence # if information subsequent archivelogs beyond your point of recovery in the controlfile are redundant. In addition, a RESETLOGS would be done when you OPEN the database.

  2... how to know the locations of the game copied to the new location of the control file that is restored from the backup source database?

  What is the order CATALOG. In 9i, CATALOGUE could only of catalog datafilecopy. In 10g and more, you can BackupPieces CATALOGUER. Thus, it would "update" the controlfile (which is the RMAN Repository) with information about the BackupPieces that are present in a replacement / new location.
  See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14194/rcmsynta011.htm#sthref230

  3. ... ASM, is there another way to extract the PROD archive logs and apply them to a cloned instance?

  According to the version you are using, ASMCMD has a 'cp' command to copy the files from the DSO for the operating system. However, you cannot use ASM to apply directly the archivelogs. You always use the 'RECOVER' of RMAN or SQL command line command.

• extract the rman backup data file

  Hello
  I want to search when logical corruption occurs in my database, so I want to extract my rman backup and test a file with db_verify.
  But I don't want to recover the database. How to extract a file without recovery and destroing database work?

  You must perform the RESTORE in an auxiliary instance - preferably on another server.

  Note: If you do it on the same server, make sure that
  a. you do not connect to the same database instance
  b. you set NEWNAME so that the data file is extracted to a different location

• cross-checking of backup and delete obsolete;

  Hello
  10 g R2 on a Win 2003 server. Connected to the catalog and target database, that I run:
  RMAN > backup duplication
  
  RMAN > remove obsolete;
  FILE 1
  FILE 2
  ....
  .....
  .....
  You want to delete the above file? O/N: YES
  
  And then:
  RMAN > backup duplication
  RMAN > remove obsolete;
  FILE 1
  FILE 2
  ....
  .....
  .....
  You want to delete the above file? Y/N
  
  I don't understand. If the first time that I answered YES and the obsolete table then deleted why they appear again and again?
  Can we all be kind to explain to me?
  Thank you.

  "crossover" has nothing to do with obsolete backups, this command verifies backups, which are always saved in the controlfile/recovery catalog, but do not exist physically on the disk/tape. The order correct after 'overlap' is 'remove expired', 'deprecated' are backups is more necessary because of the defined retention policy.
  I guess that your backups are both obsolete and outdated, but "remove obsolete" does not work, because these backups were abducted outside RMAN. It could also be a permission problem, RMAN is not allowed to delete the backups at the OS level. This happens on Windows, when using shared disks.

  and are used in many media of rman backup band (about 50EA media, perhaps 46EA are full and 4EA are appendble)

  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?

  -> I need the rman (delete expired, delete obsolete etc...) command to share the summary status of OSB and rman rman?

  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.

  Kind regards

• How knowledge/check if the RMAN backup was performed using a current control file or database catalog?

  Hello

  How knowledge/check if the RMAN backup was performed using a current control file or database catalog? I mean RMAN prompt or sqlplus is it possible to know.

  Thank you

  You're welcome my friend

  You can see them using two methods.

  as I mentioned above, you can see them connect to the catalog database and you can query using the view that I sent

  http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmreprt.htm#BRADV89601

  the other method is the list command, you must use the list command after connecting using rman "rman target / catalog cat_user/cat_pass@catdbtns" command

  http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmreprt.htm#BRADV8136

  Check the value of the control_file_record_keep_time parameter. The default value is 7 days. in the output of the list command, if you can see the old backups to the value, you must be sure that the backup information comes from the catalogue database

  SELECT * FROM parameter $ v where name = 'control_file_record_keep_time '.

  an example of command list

  the list of completed database before backup ' sysdate-10'.

• [RMAN BEGINNER] Backup and recovery

  Hi all

  Can I ask a question?

  1. they are the same ARCHIVELOG = newspapers archived DB log?

  2. can I use the tracking order cross server

  #Server 1

  RMAN > run {}

  immediate stop

  Startup mount

  allocate channels disk1 disk format='d:\backup\ora_d%_%T.bak'

  backup current controlfile

  database backup and archiving log

  }

  # Server 2

  RMAN > run {}

  allocate channels disk1 disk format='d:\backup\ora_d%_%T.bak'

  restore database

  output channel disk1

  }

  I have to create before catalog?

  (1) logs archiving is essentially a copy of your recovery logs, once it is filled.  Archivelog and db archivelog terms can be used interchangeably, but essentially in a database there is a redo log, then a newspaper archive.

  Archives Redo Log Management

  (2) what do you mean cross server?  Tell you backup a database on a server and then restore to another?

  If so then Yes, you can back up a database on a single server and restore to another.  If your database is in archivelog mode, then you don't need to stop the database first.

  http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/rcmrecov.htm#i1007814

  Before you launch your start command to restore your database in nomount mode, restore the controlfile, set up the database and then do your restore, recover and then open resetlogs:

  SQL > startup nomount

  RMAN > restore controlfile from "xyz";

  SQL > bootable media.

  RMAN:

  Run {}

  restore the database;

  recover the database;

  ALTER database open resetlogs;

  }

  (3) you do not need a catalog of recovery, RMAN will use the controlfile.  However, if you have several database in your environment, you can use a recovery catalog.
