  Hello

  The problem is the syntax:

  Examples:

  RMAN > ARCHIVELOG BACKUP ALL.

  RMAN > delete any backup archivelog entry;

  Note: This save your archive and delete them;

  BACKUP DATABASE MORE ARCHIVELOG;

  Note: This will backup your database and your archive without deleting the archives.

• Full syntax for backup using RMAN

  Hi all..
  I have Oracle 11g installed on M5000, Solaris 10
  I want to take a full backup of my database through RMAN
  I enter on the backup server
  
  . .DB/env
  Connect catalog rrkas/rr345
  (connected)
  connect target sys/root123@grid1
  (connected)
  
  RMAN > run {}
  disc type allocat channel dev1;
  backup database
  format ' / export/home/oracle/dumps/grid3_%t_%sp%p';
  output channel dev1;
  }
  
  
  He began the work. On my dbserver file is created according to the format.
  
  just want to ask, is it the right way to take complete or physical backup? Backup is enough fully to recover the files, in which case a new RAC is added to the cluster?
  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  its ok.

  hope that you have configured the control file auotback on.
  and also take the files from archive log.

  use backup database and journal archiving;

• 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.

• It is advisable to use RMAN backups?

  Hello

  Currently in our production databases, they took only the export dumps in every day.

  Is it advisable if we use RMAN backups?

  Expdp/impdp we can import the dump and create a database in UAT as same as production.

  If we opt for RMAN, is it possible to restore the backup as expdp to test if necessary?

  Thanks in advance.

  As others have said or implied, it is MORE than advisable.  I would declare it like this: If you want to stay independent as a DBA, it is mandatory.  Without him, there will come a time where you will lose data.  And which violates the Prime Directive for the DBA.

  Expdp/impdp we can import the dump and create a database in UAT as same as production.

  Which may or may not be very well to "Refresh" a test database, but it is not acceptable for the recovery of a database of lost output unless you accept BOTH of the following:

  (1) potentially to recreate an 'empty' database to replace the lost production database.

  1 a) potentially lose required components of database and/or configurations because you have forgotten/don't do them after the recreation of the empty database

  (2) lose all data that has been added to the database once your instant export has been taken.

  Do you think all the foregoing as an acceptable risk for your organization?

  If we opt for RMAN, is it possible to restore the backup as expdp to test if necessary?

  Definitely.  Why wouldn't be?  With rman for your primary backup strategy does not prevent you to export for any purpose you want to do with them.

  I have 4 key production databases.  For three of them, I update their counterparts in test with rman backups. For the fourth, I use exports.

  Thanks in advance.

• Using RMAN/Flashback to restore or passage / failover to the backup database

  Hello

  I'm new on the protection of the data.  I read the documentation and have implemented the Data Guard for my database of test called PPRD.  So I PPRD for the primary database and PPRD_DR0 for sleep.

  I've implemented the custody of data with the default, maximum Performance. I'm testing. (That's 11 GR 2.  I also use SQL/RMAN to set everything up.  I can implement Grid Control to administer it.

  What I was asking is - as the case may be, are there times where I'm better NOT do a failover to the standby?  Given that the PPRD is in archivelog mode (of course) and we have full and incremental backups archivelogs all being written to the disc, AND my expectation is mode maximum performance... is there times where there was NO data loss by restoring the database and he recovering from RMAN? Indeed, recovery logs are intact, not if the first line of conduct?

  Now, obviously if there is some sort of disaster and the primary is destroyed we would failover to our expectation. But for most typical failures, wouldn't we want to use RMAN and the backups/archivelogs as a first course, because there MAY be loss of data with the maximum performance mode? Also, I know there are views, that we can use to see how in sync is the day before, but I'm a little unclear on this.  At the time of a database problem, if we do not have an automatic failover enabled and configured, exactly how can we check how to synchronize the standby is with the primary?  (I know that this response is common and there, I don't want to ask the obvious question.)

  Since I was in archivelog and flashback as well on mode the primary... If the primary is still intact (but has a problem) I use RMAN, flashback, etc. before making failover/switching in high school?

  Thank you for any response.

  Hello;

  Yes. For me, a failover is a last resort. Ask yourself a few questions:

  My company requires an availability of 100%?

  How long the principal will be not not available?

  How long and how to recover from failover?

  I can make a move to the place?

  Each year we turn off the room of servers for a weekend. What I do, it is a failover, then a switch after the old primary appears as the day before and catch up.

  Here are my notes of failover test:

  If you are able to access the RMAN utility from your client machine and you are able to access the database (Production) target of your client machine, then you should be able to take backup of the client machine but backups would not be stored on the client computer. Backups are stored on the target server (PRODDB) only. Even if you try to take backups using the format specifier, the path is enabled on the target server and if not found, then RMAN throw out error.

  You must have a disk that is shared and accessible from your target server and the client computer.

• CATALOG RESYNC after taking backup using current controlfile

  Hello

  In my environment, I have 8i, 9i, 10 g and 11 g databases. We take RMAN backup tape online using the database catalog running on a different server.

  There was a hardware problem on the catalog server, due to this catalogue, database is down. We took RMAN online backup tape using file of current control for two days.

  Database upward and RMAN Ribbon online backup happing using the catalog catalog database now.

  My doubt is that we take RMAN backup tape using current two days control file online and now we return to our original, install what I need to run RESYNC CATALOG or automatically catalogue will get sync.

  Please let me know what to do.

  Thank you.

  You have two options:

  ----1

  RMAN > RESYNC CATALOG;

  -----2

  The next time that you run a full backup using the catalog, it will synchronize your metadata.

• Backup Controlfile RMAN

  Hello

  If I configured the RMAN for using backup controlfile option:

  RMAN > configure controlfile autobackup on;

  I always have to do this:

  SQL ' ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO "${CTRLBKP}" ";

  I have a script to backup RMAN (written by someone else) who issues the SQL above once the backup is complete.

  My understanding is that if the controlfile is automatically RMAN backup, there is no need to run the SQL above.

  Please notify.

• Re: is the cold backup of rman includes onlinde redologs?

  Hello
  
  cold backup of rman includes onlinde redologs?
  
  So that at the time of the recovery when I restore the database the redologs online also restored at this point?
  
  Please, please add your suggestions. I read in 10g database in condition to mount everything taking the backup RMAN as cold as the oracle process overall are down we cannot copy the redologs online.
  Am I correct, otherwise please someone answer me why the redologs online are not copied.
  
  Thanks in advance
  SAI

  A cold backup (i.e., MOUNT but not given) to RMAN does not backup online redo logs.

  If you restore this backup you will need OPEN RESETLOGS to recreate the online redo logs to the target.

  Hemant K Collette

  PS: Oracle Documentation prefers to call an RMAN backup backs "Cohérent" when the database is mounted but the State is not OPEN. "Cold Backup" is today used for the non-RMAN methods.

  Prashant;

  I took the time to demonstrate using a tablespace that was NOT a reserved word in the hope that you would see how bad idea using a reserved word is.

  A tablespace is a logical structure and it can be almost any other name.

  Why create this problem yourself when there are simple alternatives?

  Time is the most precious thing in my life and I don't know that it's in yours also.

  Please consider using another name of the tablespace.

  ALTER TABLESPACE TEST RENAME OTEST;

  There is no sense, make things more complex, then they already are.

  If this is really not an option then:

  RMAN> backup tablespace "TEST";

• Updating of database without using RMAN duplicate

  Hi all
  
  I intend to update my test instance in a PIT using backups RMAN of PROD. I would like to know the process without being connected to the PROD database and without using RMAN dual.
  
  Thank you.

  Imran khan says:
  Please delete your concepts about the process of backup and restore RMAN... It is not possible to update your db test for prod db RMAN backup parts without using RMAN dual and without connecting to the PROD database...
  I would be very surprised if you can get this answer to your pointless question...

  It is most details too throw an insult while making false statements on the displayed issue.
  Maybe you are the one who does not know how to use rman.

  There is a way to clone (refresh) a database of development of a backup of the production without using the command DUPLICATE.

  In summary, you must do this:

  (1) with rman, restore the backup piece controlfile.
  (2) startup mount
  (3) with rman, restore the database.
  (4) recover database using backup controlfile until Cancel.
  (5) use the 'nest' utility to change the name of the database.

  Good luck!
