• RMAN backup to tape and disk script

  Hi all,

I want to be able to do it from the location of the files. I want to back up the database complete, kitchen sink and everything.
  
  Can anyone help?

• 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 ';

  Hi.There occur error because you used format(for backup) is a mistake. Because used this format, rman cannot generate a unique name for each backupset. RMAN create the first backup set using this format, then want to also eponymous and the error occur (backupsets cannot be the same name). You can use %U this guarantees uniqueness in
  generated backups.

• Block Media Recovery and RMAN backup incremental level 1

  Hello
  
  I read somewhere that block Media Recovery will not work if a database is backed up with 1 incremental rman. Is this true and if so is there a work around?
  I can't find it in the documentation of oralce.
  
  Concerning
  Me

  Hello

  Yes you are right, for the recovery block media, you must have full rman backup. Incremental backups are not used by block
  media recovery. Only full backups and archived logs are used.

• Import of schemas and tables of RMAN backup

  Hi all

  I have here are 3 requirements:

  (1) is it possible that I can import a single table using RMAN backup, because I have no more than one day of EXPDP dump file and the requirement is to store the data of three days.

  (2) is it possible that I can import a single SCHEMA using RMAN backup, because I have no more than one day of EXPDP dump file and the requirement is to store the data of three days.

  (3) can I import a package from the RMAN backup?

  I have incremental backup of level 1 and level 0.

  My database is 11.2.0.3

  Thank you and best regards,

  Mukesh

  Hi Mukesh,

  All of your needs can be met with output up to 11g using RMAN database, but beyond of 12 c, you can restore a single table RMAN backup (RMAN BACK TABLE new feature to the 12 c (Doc ID 1521524.1) Oracle database). For your condition impdp/expdp is the best Utilities option until oracle provided up to version 11 g.

  I hope this helps.

• RMAN backup location must change and remove obsolete

  Dear Experts,

  I'm working on the following environment,

  Operating system: Windows server 2012 R2

  Oracle version: 11.2.0.1.0 release

  Type of RMAN backup: Cumulative (preferred by the direction and I can't change it in differential backup)

  My current situation,

  I set up RMAN and H: drive for purposes of backup and G: for Archivelog.

  Recently, my city was covered by the flood waters and the server works not for a week so that we delete obsolete level 0 does not work.

  Currently there is not enough space to run a level 1 and level 0, while I should change the backup location.

  My Question is,

  (1) I need to change this location of drive H: to G: drive backup backup correctly without error not enough space.

  (2) after having taken a level 1 and level 0, depending on my 1 redundancy, RMAN mechanism should delete obsolete backup disk without failure G: and H:.

  Kindly help me how to get to my need. This will help me, thanks in advance

  You can

  1. replace the DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST G:

  2 run backups

  3. wait for the DELETE OBSOLETE delete obsolete backups of H:

  and then

  4. change the DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST return h as it was more early

  In this way, you don't have to use the FORMAT or CHANNEL of CONFIGURE commands (I was referring to CONFIGURE CHANNEL, not ALLOCATE CHANNEL) to change the destination of the backup

  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.

• RMAN LEVEL BACKUP INCREMENTAL 0 AND 1 OF CUMULATIVE LEVEL

  Dear friends

  This is Eliza, I need some clarification, your suggestion will help me more...

  Currently I am working in RMAN backup and restore, recovery and I need to take the extra SIZE 0 AND LEVEL 1 CUMULATIVE

  I know something about what level rman incremental 0 and level 1 cumulative can do is, first I have to take the level 0 and then level 1 respectively.

  As follows

  SUNDAY: LEVEL 0 CUMULATIVE

  MONDAY - SATURDAY: LEVEL 1 CUMULATIVE

  SUNDAY: LEVEL 0 CUMULATIVE (repetition of this cycle)
  

  MY QUESTION IS

  Can I use after an order to take INCREMENTIELLE LEVEL 1 CUMULATIVE backup of,

  CUMULATIVE DATABASE INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1; # has changed since the level 0 blocks

  But, if I want to take CUMULATIVE INCREMENTAL level 0 BACKUP, that is me I want to use the following,

  INCREMENTAL LEVEL 0 BACKUP CUMULATIVE BASIS;

  (GOLD)

  DATABASE INCREMENTAL LEVEL 0 BACKUP;

  (GOLD)

  Suggest me your valuable idea. Thanks in advance.

  
  

  Hello

  I think that this CUMULATIVE or incremental level 0 backup specification makes no sense so INCREMENTAL level 0 BACKUP database; = INCREMENTAL CUMULATIVE 0 DATA LEVEL;

• RMAN backup and cross-checking script

  Hello
  
  I just joined a new company this week. As would any s/n, I was going just through the RMAN backup scripts used in the new environment.
  Here we run weekly RMAN backup complete for some of the databases that I am responsible for managing. The script and schedules are as follows.
  
  Every Sunday from 21:00, we organize a weekly job overlap
  
  Connect target username/pwd@DBNAME
  Connect catalog username/pwd@DBNAME
  
  Run {}
  CROSS-CHECKING OF BACKUP;
  DUPLICATION OF COPY;
  OVERLAP BACKUPSET;
  OVERLAP ARCHIVELOG ALL;
  DELETE NOPROMPT OBSOLETE;
  }
  
  Every Sunday from 9:30, we run the RMAN backup command which is
  
  Connect target username/pwd@DBNAME
  Connect catalog username/pwd@DBNAME
  
  run
  {
  CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY OF 7-DAY WINDOW;
  SQL 'alter system archive log current';
  backup as backupset database include current controlfile;
  SQL 'alter system archive log current';
  ARCHIVELOG BACKUP of time ' SYSDATE-8';
  DELETE ARCHIVELOG ALL COMPLETED BEFORE ' SYSDATE-15';
  }
  
  
  A database that I will handle has been set up just over a week before I join.
  28 FEV 21:00 - no set of backup/copy/backup of overlap. I hope it will be cuts across all archive logs available in the database. No obsolete backup/copy/backup/archivelogs to remove.
  28 FEV 21:30 - sets the retention policy at 7 days, full backup of database backup and backup all archivelogs (sysdate-8). No newspaper archive to remove the database was created (migrated) less than 15 days back.
  
  7 March 21:00 - contre-vérifie the backupset (taking the 28 fev 21:30). No backup/copy of overlap.
  Question 1: Is there a backup obsolete here to delete?
  Own thought: Recovery window is 7 days. RMAN needs a backup in order to recover the database in any time-7 days to the present time (7 March 21:00 - 7 days = 28 fev 21:00). No obsolete backup to delete.
  
  7 March 21:30 - full database backup and fails to save all logs archiving (sysdate-8). No space in the Flash recovery disk group. As the archivelog backup failed and RMAN complete, it has not removed the archivelogs ' sysdate-15'.
  
  Backup is running again on 14 March. Of course, it will fail because there is no enough space in the Group of recovery disks.
  
  Future: I'm confused
  March 14, 21:00: contre-vérifie the backupset (supported March February 21:30). No backup/copy of overlap.
  Question 2: How do I know what is here obsolete? From the window of 7 days recovery, 14 March 21:00-7 days is March 7, 21:00. Last backup was taken on March 7, 21:30.
  To get back to 21:00, RMAN makes keep the backup of 28 March?... Does this mean whenever I'll have copies of backup 3?...
  
  14 March 21:30 - backup database... Log Archive backup will fail because there is no space. (I think to make a compressed backup).
  
  Question 3: How those wise commands?
  ARCHIVELOG BACKUP of time ' SYSDATE-8';
  DELETE ARCHIVELOG ALL COMPLETED BEFORE ' SYSDATE-15';
  
  If I take a successful backup of the archivelogs sysdate-8, why I need to keep the archivelogs before that? What could be the reason the previous DBA kept DELETE ARCHIVELOG COMPLETED BEFORE ANY 'SYSDATE-15 '; Rather than give DELETE ARCHIVELOG FINISHED FIRST and FOREMOST ' SYSDATE-8 "?

  If your database to 9i and above, then you don't need to pass - sql 'alter system archive log current;' before you perform the backup as RMAN automatically archives the log during recovery.

• Implications of losing the directory ArchivedLogs and RMAN backup.

  DB version: 10 gr 2
  We have a database of test that is important, since this is a pre-production DB used by the application for the final test team.
  
  Currently this DB is not in Archivelog mode. Every night a cron job runs to create the dump of datapump expdp of patterns in this PB.
  
  We want to test the RMAN backups online in this PB. So, let's put this db in ARCHIVELOG mode for a week.
  
  The RMAN backup items will be stored in c++ / u03/data1/orabkp + and archived logs will be stored in c++ / u04 / directory ach_logs +.
  
  We want to know the impact of/u04/ach_logs, the directory of archived newspapers getting accidentally deleted. I know that the accidental removal of the RMAN backup directory should not affect the normal operation of the database. But we want to know if the accidental deletion of archive redo logs directory will affect the DB.

  NO, it will not affect the database. If you delete the files of the database archive logs will work normally. But you restore your database to the point in time. For recovery, you need your full backup of all data files + archivelogs online redo log files.

  For a policy of backup of a production database where you won't lose any transaction that you must book your archive saves files of rman backup.

• Where Thunderbird to save contacts and emails and can change somewhere else?

  I am running Ubuntu LTS 14.04

  Under Linux, it's ~/.thunderbird or ~ / .mozilla-thunderbird.

  It is pretty simple to change the location of e-mail in a different directory (1), move the profile together somewhere else is a bit more effort (2).
