• STRATEGY OF RETENTION and incremental backups.

  Consider the following scenario.

  Sunday: level 0
  Monday: level 1
  Tuesday: level 1
  Wednesday: level 1 cumulative

  If we make the recovery Friday, rman uses Level0, last level 1 and all logs after him. All other newspapers and incremental backups are not necessary.

  Now assume that the retention policy is window of recovery of 1 or 2 days. RMAN will review these logs and backups as obsolete Friday?

  Obsolete backups - backups are performed before the last full backup that is not obsolete. Because level 1 is not full backup, rman will retain all of the incremental backups and archive logs that are created after the 0 level.

• How to find sizes backupset for full and incremental backups

  How can I get the exact sizes of backupsets, full and incremental backups RMAN? In addition, it would be nice to separate the backupset size in data and archiving logs files.

  Don't know exactly what you can include in your output, but the following is an example:

  SQL> select ctime "Date"
    2       , decode(backup_type, 'L', 'Archive Log', 'D', 'Full', 'Incremental') backup_type
    3       , bsize "Size MB"
    4  from (select trunc(bp.completion_time) ctime
    5          , backup_type
    6          , round(sum(bp.bytes/1024/1024),2) bsize
    7     from v$backup_set bs, v$backup_piece bp
    8     where bs.set_stamp = bp.set_stamp
    9     and bs.set_count  = bp.set_count
   10     and bp.status = 'A'
   11     group by trunc(bp.completion_time), backup_type)

• difference between cumulative backup and incremental backup

  Hi all
  
  
  What is the difference between cumulative incremental and differential backup incremental backup.

  Go and take a look at the link below

• Duplicate the database and incremental backups

  Hello
  
  I reviewing options to maintain a test server that is "relatively" updated compared to the production server.
  This is my first contact with RMAN and I went through the books, but as I have not had a chance to play with it I could have missed something.
  
  It is an Oracle devoted to a Redhat Enterprise Linux (not sure of the complete version number) 11.2.
  
  The test server must be writable and must be synchronized with the server in production about once or twice a month. Due to the size of the database (~ 600 GB) we are studying solutions that could make using incremental backups that are already taken on the production database.
  
  While launching the test using RMAN DUPLICATE server seems to be honest, I'm not sure how the "sync" can be done as effectively as possible - especially because we are changing the data on the test server.
  
  After the RMAN BACK command description, is not clear to me if this could serve to 'recover' the database of test based on the incremental backups to the 'current state' of the production database, even if the test database has been changed. After reading a few posts here, it's not seems to be the case.
  
  A restore point would make such a possible incremental restore? Creating a (name?) point of restoration immediately after duplication, and once the tests are finished making back to the restore point and then apply the incremental backups that have accumulated since then.
  
  
  Another of the options seems to be to create a database of the previous day. Then when running the tests, we turn to the backup database in one instantaneous standby database open read/write and run tests. Once we have finished, we he switch back to a physical standby. This switchback to rewind the changes and recovery logs accumulated are applied as "incremental" catching up with production - which is basically what we want.
  
  Is there another solution to this? Or use a watch of the snapshot, the most effective solution? If possible, we would like to avoid transferring the 600GB whenever we want to re - synchronize the database to test.
  
  Thanks in advance

  Hi Tomas. I think you're right. Ensures the most effective solution in your situation of snapshot.

• Full and incremental backup files storage

  Hello

  As a result of a previous full backup of I photo catalog, I recently realized an incremental backup.

  By mistake the incremental files are in another folder as the backup files.

  Can I just move all the additional files to the folder that the full backup is in.

  Thank you

  Jim

  When I do another incremental backup, that too will have to be in another folder?

  Yes.

  Am I right in assuming that an incrremental backup copies all files that have been added to the photo library after the initial backup completes.

  Yes, it copies files recently added and modified.

  If this is the case can I delete previous incremental upward when I performed a new differential upward.

  Yes you can.

  If you start another incremental backup, it will ask you to point to the initial full backup, or the last incremental backup. Each incremental backup knows that the previous incremental backup is there is one.

  Should I must point rrestore upwards do I start from the last incremental and is that all I need d, o or I do restore a differential and a full save or vice versa?

  You should start by the last incremental backup, which will send you to the previous, previous... and so on until the original full backup is used.

  In addition,

  Assume that you have a monthly backup with 6 additional seals.

  You want to restore to the State after the third incremental backup. No problem, you stard with Inc. Nr 3, then full then 2, then 1.

• Restore from a backup and incremental backup

  In a recent catastophe I had to restore my PC to deliverable facotry, and at the same time lost an external hard drive with a good number of my images.  I was able to reload the images that are on my C drive but my catalog has gone, as are all the images that were on an external hard drive.  I would like to do a full backup of Photoshop since the end of May and an incremental backup took about a week before the disaster on a second hard drive.  I guess I have to restore using the first backup completes, then restore using the incremental backup.  Is this correct?

  If I specify that the images are loading on my new external hard drive, keeping the same directory structure images go to the new drive or will restore the original images on the drive C on the C drive and only the pictures stored on the previous external drive go to the new external drive?

  I did not in a while, but I recall, you restore the differential and the software is smart enough to know how to use the differentials and complete properly.

  If you ask the program to restore the external hard drive, that's where all the images go.

• Fullback vs incremental backup

  Oracle 11g R2.

  I can use two methods to make the backup.

  (1) make the full back a day

  (2) make the backup the Sunday of the week are the incremental backups from Monday to Saturday

  Ideally, I would have preferred the method 1, that is, do a full backup daily.  But at some point, if the size of the database becomes more broad, the backup may take longer time to complete, so I can move on to method 2.

  My question is, in general, what should be the point of siwtch depending on the size of the database?  If my question is confusing you, allow to say that, from your experience, how much time take to backup 1 GB, 10 GB and 100 GB of data on the disk of the FRA, respectively?

  Thank you

  Scott

  This will depend on your infrastructure as the number of processors on the server, the speed of the CPU, the speed of your network if when you save to disk to tape backup, or the speed of the San.  This can vary considerably and my environment could be very different to yours.

  As a general rule I would say a full once or twice a week and incremental backup the rest of the days should be enough, but there may be a reason to do a full backup of every day.

  Time to recover is likely to be the engine of any backup strategy, depends, and it is likely to be an appeal from the judgment on your part.

• Incremental backups of POS?

  Dear guys,

  so far, I'm not able to tell if the version standard POS is it possible to have incremental backups, do you know if it's possible?
  Cause I need to run the backup complete and many incremental or VDP consider additional backups as incremental after a backup completes?

  Thank you very much in advance guys.

  Daniele

  Hello

  I think you could run the 5.1 version, the user interface is improved in 5.5

  But however 5.1 run incremental backups after a FULL backup.

  Recalling again... it is based on the CBT.

  AFAIK, backup of POS on a virtual machine can become FULL in both cases

  -If the follow-up of CBT can be identified for some reason any (rare)

  -If the virtual machine is migrated to another data store.

  Then, subsequent backups after FULL are always to be incremental.

  There is a downside wrt to UI in POS 5.1 it does not differentiate between FULL and incremental backups, but there is no incremental backups in-house.

  RMAN backup is not compatible and easy to follow on-line transactions. If it's something any purpose of migration suggest taking COLD backup.
  If it's no way suggested, then after your entire + cumulative backups, however, that data will be available in archives

• NOLOGGING with DEC and RMAN incremental backup

  DB Version: 10.2.0.4
  OS : AIX
  
  We use RMAN for our backup scheduled via cron.
  Retention Policy : REDUNDANCY 1
  Type             : Incremental 

  On the 31 of every month in most of our patterns, we recreate a lot of tables using DEC.
  
  Due to the size, the CREATE TABLE instructions take a while. Because we run on the Standard edition, we cannot use the PARALLELISM.
  NOLOGGING is the only option to improve performance. But we are concerned the roll forward not being generated for these tables and the potential loss of data in case of crash.
  
  Currently we take a Level0 backup every Wednesday and Sunday night and LEVEL1 backup on the rest of the days.
  
  I know that all will be saved on Level0. But what happens if 31 falls on a day which occurs the only backup of level 1. We will be safe only until the next Level0 arrives.
  
  No work around for this?

  HI T.Boyd,

  NOLOGGING is the only option to improve performance.

  So no recovery will be generated but the blocks in the data files will change.

  But what happens if 31 falls on a day which occurs the only backup of level 1.

  Only blocks changed since the last level 0 (or level 1 if you use differential differential) will be saved which includes blocks modified by the ETG.

  No work around for this?

  No need for a work around. You can check at any time whether a certain activity nologging will compromise a restoration with < report="" unrecoverable;=""> .
  Kind regards

• RMAN incremental backup issue

  Hi all
  
  I'm read on Oracle11g release2 doc RMAN.
  
  In Chapter 9:
  
  "For example, you can implement a three-tier backup plan as well as a level 0 backup is performed every month, a cumulative level 1 is taken from the week, and a premium of level 1 is taken daily. In this strategy, you will never have to apply more than one day to complete recovery redo. »
  
  First I got an error when I try to make a level 0 backup

• Problems with the retention policy that removes a Cumulative incremental backup

  Hello

  I have following two scripts:

  1 RMAN script runs the weekend and made a full backup of level 0.

  2 RMAN script works on a daily basis and a level 1 Cumulative backup.

  at the end of each script I delete noprompt obsolete redundancy 1; (I don't need a single copy of local disk)

  My problem is that it seems that remove obsolete handles only level 0 (full) backups.

  for example, my goal is:

  Saturday = > level 0 + delete obsolete (level 0 + all the incremental)

  Sunday = > obsolete level 1 cumulative + delete

  Monday = > level 1 cumulative + Delete obsolete (backup Sunday)

  etc...

  What happens in reality is rather that remove obsolete Monday, completely ignores Sunday 1 cumulative level.

  and he keeps all the up to the next level 0 backup

  its actually covered in the Oracle Documentation:

  http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmconfb.htm#BRADV8400

  but it's just not make sense.

  in order to have redundancy of 1 copy I only need to level 0 + unique Level 1 cumulative backup.

  I don't have level 0 + all level 1 cumulative backups between full backups.

  
  

  so my question is there a way to make the retention policy to keep only the last level 1 cumulative?
  

  It's true window of 1 day recovery ignores several backups of cumulativ made the same day as being obsolete. Regular retention strategies rman probably cannot provide what you want. You can manually identify the backupset and delete them or change of cumulativ backups to incremental backups.

  That would save the space of several cumulative backups and and would work even for several backups on the same day. Of course with the disadvantage that you need all of the incremental backups and your recovery time may be longer
