RMAN restore and recovery

Hello

If I have two full backups in my FRA (say 7 to 14 days)

Q1. I assume that if I run it.

RMAN > restore database;

It will go to the last backup (7 days ago)?

Q2. How to restore the backup of ago 14 days instead?

Q3. If I restore the database of 14 days but then question

RMAN > recover database until < 3 days >

RMAN would simply apply the recovery logs archived for 14 days to the point of recovery or it would be smart enough to realize, there a backup to restore all first 7 days ago, then apply 7 days recovery logs, to the point of recovery?

Q4. Can you do an online backup as a copy of the Image instead of a backup set or you can offline backups when you use a copy of the Image?

All wisdom, greatly appreciated

Jim

(1) switching is not required for recovery. You have just enough do to standardize the data files. It doesn't matter if the switch is produced or not.

(2) "extra small set of archivelogs" can be enormous if the backup is long-term with many DML during backup.

You need a sufficiently archivelogs, regardless of the copy backupset or image, to make the data files in compliance.

(3) hot RMAN copy backup data files, while they are updated, but in order to avoid a block inconsistent read to avoid corruption. The data files are not frozen, as with the hot user managed backup.

Database is underway after the restore and recovery

Database is in the waiting state after the restore and recovery.
The database cannot start today and it displays an error message: 2 log file can be archived. Then I run the following command:

But when I try to log on by using the EM console, it shows that the database is not open. Then I restore and recover the database by using the EM Console. But the database and then enter in pending status.
What to do next?

Stop the console 'EM, and then restart it. I hope all is well.

How to skip unwanted tablespaces restoration and recovery

DB version: 11.2.0.1.0
Version of the OS: AIX 6.1

I have a full backup (level 0, level 1, archives, controlfile, spfile) for a database. Now, I have to restore and recover the database on another server. I know that some storage spaces that are not necessary. This means, the tablespace are just for the backup of tables etc. and storage spaces are not recovered & restored then also it very well. My main idea is to save time by not restore & recovery of unwanted files. Here is the output of outline report.

But in the newspapers, I don't see that datafile 4 is always restored which means that I spend more time on the restoration of files that I need. Is it possible to do that?

Hello;

You can make a leap like this:

RMAN > RECOVER DATABASE SKIP users TABLESPACE; (for multiples use the comma between)

Temp history, RESTORE DATABASE SKIP TABLESPACE;

You will need to provide the Tablespace names in single quotes.

Your RESTORE command must also include SKIP TABLESPACE tablespacename or SKIP FOREVER TABLESPACE tablespacename to exclude the specific tablespace.

DB restoration and recovery when you use followed the change block
Does anyone know of a document that explains the restoration of the database and recovery when you use the block and the incremental backups the track changes? I understand how to turn the OTC market, and how it can shorten the time to do an incremental backup. I need advice when choosing the frequency of backups of 1-0 and level level and how it affects my food options. I also need to decide if the level 1 backups update the copy of most recent data on the disk file.

If the copy of the data on disk file is updated by each level 01:00 am I right to say that I can restore to point in time that this moment occurs after level 1 has been taken? If so, then maybe I don't have level 1 update the copy of the data file on disk. If I take a level 0 Sunday and daily level 1 Monday - Saturday, so I think I can restore to any point in time after the 0 level.

A lot of documentation explains my backup options, but there is less material tell how my backup choice affects my food options.

Thank you
Bill
BCT applies to backups only, there is no connection with the restoration.
I think you are confused about the difference between

(1) incremental of backups
and
(2) "normal incremental backups".

In the first case (see http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmbckba.htm#CHDEHBFF), in the base implementation because an incremental backup is applied to a still image copies and you cannot go back to an earlier point in time – before the changes applied.

'Normal' incremental backups are done after a full backup (level 0), you can return to the level 0 backup earlier.
RMAN follows rules of detention, in the basic version of an incremental backup that is updated, you have a retention of redundancy policy 1. This means that a full backup (image of copies, which are updated by the incremental backups again and again) is available.
Backup incremental 'Normal' in most cases after a few days recovery windows - a time window.

[HELP] Problem with the restoration and recovery in the new host
Hi, guys!

I have tried for two days, but still can't make it work.
I took a hot (online) full backup archive as well as the control file logs with the SPFILE and then copy the backup to the new host with the same directory structure and parameters. Finally, I tried to restore and recover the database on the new host, but failed during the restore process.

The original host and the new host have the same subject Oracle installed until the patch level. I couldn't understand the solution to this problem based on my knowledge on Oracle DB.

Could someone help me out here? Any advice would be appreciated!

In short, the RCS of the controlfile will be generally higher than corresponding SCN of the data in the event of hot backup (online) file; However, the two SNA will be the same in the case of cold (off-line) backup. Am I entitled?

Yes, it's true. In a backup cold (assuming that the CLOSURE was not a SURRENDER but was NORMAL, TRANSACTIONAL, or IMMEDIATE) all files in the database (data files, redo log and controlfiles files) are 'compatible' - at the same point in time, to the same SCN. In a hot backup, the files are updated. RMAN is not necessarily take all the data files at the same time - for example when you have several data files, RMAN would backup the files in batches of 4 or 8 - data files are therefore controlled at different points in time. Similarly, the controlfile is saved last.

Simulate the operation restore and recovery RMAN
Hello

RMAN allows us to clone our production database which is 3 TB in size.
Often we set until sequence set wrong for which the recovery fails.
But it takes several hours just to see him fail.
is there a way simulate the RMAN backup before restoring?

as it is there noapply order patching to see what changes patches will be.

Kind regards
Marjorie Dutta
It may depend on what type of failure, you mean. You can check with the BACKUP from the LISTavailable backups, but you can also consider using RESTORATION... OVERVIEW. You can also consider RESTORATION... VALIDATE, but it may take much longer.

RMAN restore error - recovery of media asking unknown journal: thread 1 seq 7
IM using RMAN to copy a database to another server. The new server is IDENTICAL to the former. By identical I mean she has the same break the name, ip address, operating system, directory structure and the Oracle version.

The new server has already created instance, (same name as the old server example, paths etc.)

The backup files have been restored manually on the new server, the same places that they were on the old. (RMAN makes a backup controlfile automatic and also the archivelogs on the old server).

Ive restored the control file to the new server from the elements of RMAN backup.

Ive cataloged items of RMAN backup on the new server.

So far its all perfectly fine.

Now I want to restore the data files and recover. So I ran:

RMAN run {restore database; recover database; alter database open resetlogs ;}}

This gave me the result below is going very well, but I get a final error, I think that the error is because its search for an archive log that is not in the backup set, but it should be. However, I think 560851 SNA is for a journal that had not yet been created on the old server when the backup was run?

I address, how to fix the error? Its interesting to note the journal, "archive log filename=C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\FLASH_RECOVERY_AREA\SAT\ARCHIVELOG".
\2011_05_11\O1_MF_1_6_6WOK1X4W_. ARCH-recid = 10 = 750881741 "stamp is not on the old server or which explains why this isn't in the backup set.

I can do an alter database open reset connects but Id prefer to know why its failure.

Any help would be appreciated.

He asked all of the available archives, whenever you give the database recovery, he keeps searching for the next archives, actually these archives are not yet generated, then you can ignore.

Now just connect to SQL and give

SQL > alter database open resetlogs;

It should work.

confusion about rman restore
Hello world
I have some confusion about rman restore and recover procedures. I read doc available in this regard and google as well. A few more questions unanswered in my mind.
1. do the restore backup command restore controlfile also alongwith datafiles.
2 database is running in noarchivelog mode. Suppose one of say users.dbf data files has been removed. control files intact. the same seq # is available since the last log backup. Now to restore the database, I use the following steps.
1 rman > shutdown immediate
2 rman > startup mount
3 rman > restore database
4 rman > restore database
5 rman > alter database open;

I'm wrong. This is the one. In this scenario, the steps above can be used.

3. even when logseq is not available when the database is saved, I take the following steps.
1 rman > startup nomount;
2 rman > restore controlfile autobackup.
3 rman > change the editing of the database;
4 rman > restore database;
5 rman > recover noredo db;
6 rman > alter database open resetlogs;
It is a right. can I adopt this procedure in my scenario.

Please do not give all the links I want some explanation of your minds.

If after the last COLD backup is there not get command of newspaper (this means journal seq number is the same), so you can restore your database since the last backup and can retrieve it. And if thi does not need perform full restoration/recovery. At instead step 3 with DATA RESTORE (or RESTORE TABLESPACE USERS) file and step 4 instead with RECOVER DATAFILE (or RECOVER TABLESPACE USERS) and after that you can open the database by using ALTER DATABASE OPEN. If you have lost datafile users.dbf it means that this (tablespace) datafie has been automatically disconnected.

3. even when logseq is not available when the database is saved, I take the following steps.
1 rman > startup nomount;
2 rman > restore controlfile autobackup.
3.RMAN > change the editing of the database;

Yes you are right in this case. There, you have to restore/recovery complete database, because of your database running in NOARCHIVELOG mode. But after database restore (step4) you can just issue RESTORE database and can open with RESETLOGS options also. Also if you have incremental backups can run NOARCHIVELOG mode even RETRIEVE the NOREDO of DATABASE then you can open the database.

Restore and backup RMAN recovery in a new server

Version: 11.2
Platform: Solaris

I did several restorations of RMAN backups to new hosts. Whenever I do a full recovery of a cold backup, when I run the

RECOVER DATABASE

I used to get

archive log filename=/u04/mvf/data/dbase/arch/arch.log1_235_678649266.dbf thread=1 sequence=235

I considered this as being 'Normal' and always used to cause

But I read the below mentioned informative post yesterday.

Question on create Redo log after restoring files and recover

According to the guidelines of this post, I shouldn't use

alter database open resetlogs

for a full recovery.

So, what should I do
a.
Should I use

ALTER DATABASE OPEN ; -- I think I got some error with this command when i issued it after RMAN-06054 error . Can't recall what error

OR

b.
Should I use

recover database until sequence 236;

Here is how I could use a combination of RMAN (for RESTORATION) and SQL (for the OPEN RESETLOGS):

[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.

RMAN restore level 0, 1 incremental level and ARCHIVELOGs
I can't understand it and I read through the documentation and the web.

On linux 64-bit in 11.2.0.3, I do weekly backups of level 0 and increments of 1 level every night. During the day, I also do ARCHIVELOG backups.

I know I need to restore the LEVEL 0 database files (which I can do it), then later increments of 1 LEVEL of restoration (which I just can't), then apply ARCHIVELOGs (what I do).

My problem is HOW to apply files of database LEVEL 1 of the above LEVEL 0 incremental backups restored?

Thanks in advance!
default channel: deletion of Journal archives

And I haven't used the command "recover archivelog deletion of database; I used "recover the database.

This isn't a problem. At the time of recovery, it is common that you see these messages.

During restore, RMAN restores the archives at the local site, and finally when the recovery is complete, it deletes the temporarily stored archives.

My question: why are the information stored in the database control file (Faure) target so that its stored in the recovery catalog?
Hello

By default, RMAN stored metadata in the file control, all the RMAN is first written to control the file and then catalog of recovery if leaves. For example, when rman creates a new backupset, you can view the information in the v$ backup_set and you can also view the same information of the recovery RC_BAKCUP_SET catalog views.
So every change repository is stored in two places... Control file and optionally recovery_catalog

The catalog of recovery of the RMAN Repository versions are stored in database tables and version control repository os file stored as files in with in the control file.

Use 'restore factory of Rescue and Recovery' to upgrade 32-bit to 64-bit windows 7

I have 6 GB of ram on my Lenovo SL410. It runs win 7 32-bit.
Windows shows that it is capable of 64-bit.
Can I use "restore factory Rescue and Recovery" to perform the installation of win 7 64 bit?

Thank you

Your recovery DVDs are listed here:

http://support.Lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/ThinkPad-SL-series-laptops/ThinkPad-SL...

I guess if your recovery partition factory is win 7, 32 bit, it will restore win 7, 32 bit.
