RMAN expired Backup
Hello10 g R2 on Win 2003 Server
in my backup RMAN script, I have this command:
crosscheck backup
and I always (since some month ego):crosschecked backup piece: found to be 'EXPIRED'
backup piece handle=S:\BACKUP\ARCHIVE_LOGS\DATABASE\DATABASE_RMAN_ARCH_LOG_20090329_03H30.BCK recid=5 stamp=682745403
................................
.......................................
and many lines like this.What should issue for either these?
Thank you.
'backup expired' means a backup that no longer exists on the mentioned place.
This occurs when you delete backups using o/s instead of RMAN commands.
To get rid of these lines, you must
-question
delete the backup expired;
in RMAN
-engage adequate maintenance procedures, that is to say: do NOT delete the backups using del or erase, but using RMAN
-read the documentation of RMAN. Your question is a question of doc, and you shouldn't need to ask here, demonstrate that you refuse to read the documentation.

I realized that in this way D:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\DB10G\DATABASE\ I have a lot of files that I don't know what they are useful for, among them, the 6MMD64LF_1_1, with a similar format.
I can remove them? They are the reason for unsuccessful expired backup?

Problem with the archive log when you use RMAN for backup and restore (11g 2)
Hello world
Please help me solve this problem.
I'm just beginner in Oracle Database (11 g 2). Today, I had a problem, I tried to back up and restore my db by RMAN. I delete all the files in /u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl / * , then I restore them easily, but the point is I have a table, I can restore Hungarian, but cannot restore anything ranks in it (something wrong with step restore database). I'll tell the detail below.
-First, I create a 'Day' with command table create table hr.day (varchar (20)) day. Then I backup complete by this:run{
allocate channel bkp device type DISK FORMAT '/u01/backup/DB_FULL_%d_%T_s%s_p%p' ;
backup as compressed backupset incremental level 0 tag 'DB_FULL' database include current controlfile;
backup as compressed backupset tag 'ARCL_BKP_FULL' archivelog all delete input;
crosscheck archivelog all;
crosscheck backup;
delete noprompt obsolete;
release channel bkp;
}
D ' other hand, I have insert 'Monday' to table. then do an incremental backup by this:run{
allocate channel bkp device type DISK FORMAT '/u01/backup/DB_INC_%d_%T_s%s_p%p' ;
backup as compressed backupset incremental level 1 tag 'DB_INC' database include current controlfile;
backup as compressed backupset tag 'ARCL_BKP_INC' archivelog all delete input;
crosscheck archivelog all;
crosscheck backup;
delete noprompt obsolete;
release channel bkp;
}Repeat 7 times (Monday-> Saturday). And I got these files:
[oracle@rac ~]$ ls -l /u01/backup/

> 1 and from the 1205841 SNA sequence
The SCN that indicates Oracle is above the range of SNA that you have in the ArchiveLog backups for sequence 1 to 15 (15 sequence ends at 1205840).
The message

RMAN bypass backup can be taken from question?
Hi all
pretty simple question (I hope that ):
I use the suite at the moment for example:
run
{
Backup CONFIGURATION DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 2 to compressed backupset;
TIME 01:00 PARTIAL minimize THE time data BACKUP FILESPERSET 1;
}But I was wondering if there is some way to this running as a backup script planned to restart backup, if it does not (due to problems of space file etc.)
run
{Configure the disk channel CH1 device type format ' / alternate/path/for_backup/%d_DB_%M%D%Y_%p_%s_%U';
Configure the disk channel CH2 device type format ' / alternate/path/for_backup/%d_DB_%M%D%Y_%p_%s_%U';
TIME 01:00 PARTIAL minimize THE time of BACKUP data NOT BACKED UP SINCE TIME ' SYSDATE - 1' fileperset 1; < < < I know it won't work like that but y at - it another way to accomplish this? (work around to restart the backup time and the option to reduce time?)cleaning etc release channels
}
PS: question side bonus points
who can tell me more about the loss of speed MB/S compared to the rate of compression: low/medium/high?
I hope that there are some brilliant minds out there willing to help!
Thanks in advance.
The themes you mention seem to be covered in the Advanced documentation of RMAN:
http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmbckad.htm#BRADV89540
I don't know if anyone can really give you an opinion about which compression will have the best size vs time full report. But the next test by using a simple vanilla ORCL database shows the result of the compression of 'low '. It was done on sub Oracle 11 GR 2 one running a VirtualBox VM. As you can see there is a reduction of the large size of the backupset, which however has taken so long to complete as to the 'no' compression.
RMAN> CONFIGURE COMPRESSION ALGORITHM clear; RMAN> backup database; RMAN> list backup; BS Key Type LV Size Device Type Elapsed Time Completion Time ------- ---- -- ---------- ----------- ------------ --------------- 40 Full 1.20G DISK 00:00:08 22-JUN-15 BP Key: 40 Status: AVAILABLE Compressed: NO Tag: TAG20150622T123329 RMAN> CONFIGURE COMPRESSION ALGORITHM 'LOW'; RMAN> backup as compressed backupset database; RMAN> list backup; BS Key Type LV Size Device Type Elapsed Time Completion Time ------- ---- -- ---------- ----------- ------------ --------------- 44 Full 400.38M DISK 00:00:08 22-JUN-15 BP Key: 44 Status: AVAILABLE Compressed: YES Tag: TAG20150622T123811
Why did you write that I know that it won't work like that? According to the example below, I don't see the problem. As you can see on the 2nd run of the backup command, it ignores the data files that he has previously treated.

How to expire backup manually image via VDP
Hello
I want to expire backup manually image after successful backup, everyone knows?
Thank you
Walker
Well, now I need to backup VMs, it will compare the data with the deleted data from deduplication, do you mean this?
Yes. I mean that it will always use the deleted data for deduplication because the deletion to the user interface is as marking for deletion and is still not deleted in the destination of deduplication. As says, it is actually deleted only during the blackout window.
You will also note that deduplication is not at the level of the image, but at the level of the blocks.

RMAN incremental backup continue to make backups "complete"?
Hello, I am new to RMAN. I used only the full backup by RMAN, and it was OK. Now, due to lack of disk space, I decided to make incremental backups.
I put 'to recovey retention policy window of 3 days; then made a new backup (by MS) job, looks like:
$rman_script = ' backup database cumulative device type disk tag '% TAG' extra strength 1;
backup disc tag '% TAG' type device archivelog all not saved delete all entries;
But, always visible, size of the backup is the same all the time as a full backup? Where is my mistake?
This is a backup log:
RMAN > database backup incremental level 1 cumulative device type disk tag "BACKUP_DB10_00002_070413021501".

There is a Note of support Oracle ' size of level 1 or level 1 cumulative backup greater than level 0 backups [ID 1534691.1].
which applies if you use the DUNGEON and change the tag.
I note that you change the tag every day, but do not use the clause to KEEP this note should not apply.
Why not explicitly run EXTRA STRENGTH 0 backup once and then monitor subsequent LEVEL 1 backups?

RAC RAC CLONE OF RMAN cold backup
Hi all
I need your help in my Oracle RAC 11.2.0.2 to remote host environment cloning. Here's the disc structure
DGVOT (disc ASM holding OCR and voting disk group)
DGDATA (disk group ASM containing data files)
DGFRA (disk group ASM files for fast recovery)
Remote host is on a different location so cannot use duplicate RMAN with auxiliary channel.
Have the luxury of downtime so I wanted to take coherent RMAN (Cold Backup)
SAME structure of the disc is available on remote hosts.
11.2.0.2 CLusterware (IG) over the oracle binaries are already installed.
Can any body tell me the steps to
(1) how to take cold backup on the disk so that I can tar and copy to the remote host
(2) clone of the database on the remote host
(3) how do I add the listener for the database and other resources of this databasee clusterware.
in fact, it's my first clone CARS, so I'm well aware of the steps in detail.
I went though a lot of notes metalink but nobody fits my needs. your tips will help me a lot
Kind regardsHello
(1) how to take cold backup on disk so that I can tar and copy to the remote host.
Use Rman cold backup
At the stage of the mountain run
RMAN > backup database archivelog format '%U /dbp ";
RMAN > backup controlfile current format "%U /ctl"; Copy these to the remote host backup sets
(2) clone of the database on the remote host
Create groups of similar ASM disk as source
create pfile/spifile, starting in nomount mode instance
backup set from catalogRMAN > catalogue start with "
"; Restore controlfile
RMAN > restore controlfile;
RMAN > restore database;
RMAN > restore database;
On the success of the recovery
RMAN > sql 'alter database open;

Roll forward standby with RMAN incremental backup when used DG broker
Hello
I'm about to use the process defined in the note: steps to roll forward a database ensures the RMAN incremental backup using during primaries and Eve are in the file [836986.1 ID] ASM system. I'm on 11.1.0.7.
However, it does not mention the DataGuard broker.
Did someone played this process when you use the broker.
The broker he manages properly?
Does it matter if the broker is upwards or downwards during the physical recovery of standby or replacement of control file?
Should the broker configuration be re-created?

Dear friends,
I'm with RMAN to back up my database.
That means backup obsolete and outdated?
When they reach such a State?
Please guide me.
Thank you>
A backup is obsolete when the REPORT OUTDATED or OBSOLETE REMOVE determines, based on the user-defined retention policy, it is not necessary for recovery. A backup is considered a backup expired only when RMAN performs an overlap and can not find the file. In short, obsolete means that a file is not necessary, whereas expired way, it is not found.
>Please read about the RMAN backup retention policies: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmcncpt.htm#BRADV99966.

Hi all
I have a question, I am on RHEL-6 / Oracle 11 GR 2.
After taking the backup of level 0 (RMAN), if I plan tale level1 backup then how oracle knows that they are the backup piece is considered a level 1 backup.
I mean, that's how oracle knows that these are the blocks that had to be backeup.
Kind regards.

These 'individual files' report to the FRA. What you need to do is allow rman use the FIU, which it wants to do by default. Then clear your default settings trying to name/place your backups differently.

Export vs rman as backup strategy
I just joined new company and owner oracle DBA confessed that they have never used in all of their many years as a DBA Oracle rman. Currently, they have 7 days of files dmp to export for each prod database. I started to create backups rman for each prod dB and I asked if we can stop exports altogether. Holder s/n, says exports are still needed in case we need to restore a table or in the case where we need to refresh a development/test environment. I submit that rman can do and I communicated that I never used exports in a special or as needed case either to move an oracle dB between different operating systems or incompatible versions. All export their production databases every night? I've been an Oracle DBA since 10g but I've always been the unique oracle DBA in the shops/companies that I worked. It is the first time I had a DBA experienced to work with. I'm surprised actually kind of which my colleague has never used rman being that they are so widely experienced. Dig deeper, they say they have used the NetApp as their backup method and they try to get configured in my current company that tells me will make rman irrelevant. What do you think?

My, my, my. Your recent history of the display, you seem to have a lot of questions with your new business.
In this case, you are partially right. It is unacceptable for this "very experienced" s/n do not use rman and see no need of it. If his backup strategy should only take nightly exports, it has been lucky and lives on borrowed time. If the database is corrupted or lost, these exports don't you a good few until what you create - from scratch - a database of work. And even then, only, you will have a point in time as a recovery point.
NetApp is concerned, that I've never used but I understand that it is simply wraps around rman. Perhaps, this can be handy. Until the disaster where you also get trashed NetApp configurations. No, when it comes back up, and more important again, recovering from a disaster, I want to work closely with the oracle supplied and approved method. The extra layers less potentially go wrong, the better.
If they want to continue taking exports every night, he certainly won't do any harm, as long as they realize that is secondary to the required rman backups. All my databases are backed up with rman. Some but not all also have nightly exports. It depends on the requirements. There are some things for which having a practice of export is better than to rely solely on rman.

ASM files using RMAN backupset backup system migration
my script to backup daily as below
backup in the format of compressed backupset "$BACKUP_DIR/db_%U" database
backup current controlfile "$BACKUP_DIR/Cont_%U" format
backup as backupset archivelog Tablet format all '$BACKUP_DIR/arch_%U ';
It is possible to migrate the database ASM uses above backup backupset RMAN?
because I restore the database is restored, the problem is when he try to recover it, unable to understand the archivelog and redlog files.
Hello
in fact, after I moved the pieces to another server and called with RMAN (including the archivelog files)
1. When you have moved to another server, then at this stage - my hypothesis, you have restored the controlfile to fileystem and mounted
2. as you said moved to another server, the parts are on file system or (ASM location - still the second server can see)? If your answer is no, when you catalog now, controfile must save it with the file system path but not ASM
Note - If you're still see ASM path then. the migration of the ASM to no - asm (the steps are not correct) logically you went wrong and implementation/execution thrown.
3. provide the plan and execution - what you did (while we can fix). To be honest, while on the move DB to non - asm, why you need first to recovery? Tell me about your backup procedure itself is gone bad.
To be honest, you try to database host of ASM no - asm as backup in function (but no real process of moving). Therefore, in spite of the use of rman backup in dual function duplication... you have implemented in the wrong approach.
This is the reason why I have provided the link and examples to understand.
Hope you understand now.
