We can to restore the content of a game without the backup control file?

Hello

I went in earlier today, a situation when someone (it wasn't me this time!):
(1) a to back up a database and its archivelogs, in a compressed backup sets;
(2) pushed the files to another server and
(3) deleted everything on the server source, including ALL control files and control files.

As he tried to recover the control file was missing and asked for help... I worked around the issue by using the snapshot controlfile he had forgotten (lucky me!)

Now I can not remove from my mind the idea that I won't be so lucky the next time... I wonder if there is another way to work around this problem?

Does anyone have an idea how to restore the contents of a backupset when we lack ALL control files and their backups? I tried to save the backup in the controlfile to a different database, but it does not work. I didn't find anyway to recreate a controlfile with a specific dbid without data files (and those who are in the backupset...).

Any other idea? Best regards

Gregory

Hi arkzoyd,
Is the only way to restore data from a backup set files using rman an instance and a controlfile so the answer is no.
Kind regards

  • Retrieve by using the backup control file

    Hello

    I was reading a book called Pro Oracle Database Administration by Darl Kuhn. There, under the theme of "The valuation of the loss of all control files", noted that all data files and control files are restored from a backup, because if we do not restore the data files the RCS in control files would be lower than the data in these scenarios files. Since online redo logs and archived newspapers is applied to the data files to roll forward in a current consistent state and does not roll forward to a control file.

    It is then mentioned to use 'recover the database by using the backup control file' then apply the logs (archive and redo if necessary).

    However I personally tested this script in a test environment and to bring all the backup control file could issue the same command as above and recover the database.

    My question is I know again and archives are applied only to the data files. So how does the control file are synchronized back when we do not restore the backup data files.

    Thank you

    If we do not restore the data files, the RCS in control files would be lower than the data files. Since online redo logs and archived newspapers is applied to the data files to roll forward in a current consistent state and does not roll forward to a control file.

    It would be incorrect you have determined. You can only restore the control files. You can manually create a control file and always do the restore.

    My question is I know again and archives are applied only to the data files. So how does the control file are synchronized back when we do not restore the backup data files.

    The control file is updated as well.

    See you soon,.

    HI. You actually mingle a few questions. You cannot restore controlfile from this snapshot controlfile. Snapshot controlfile goal being the other. At the resynchronization with recovery catalog RMAN must snapshot controlfile. That means and this purpose. You can restore controlfile from automatic backup or backup (controlfile) compatible.

  • Can I restore the backup Windows XP on a new computer with Windows 7 COA and upgrade to Windows 7?

    Original title: upgrade question.

    I currently have a PC running XP in a system with an IDE drive. The system has many applications that the company has moved the installation discs, so I need to move the contents of the entire disk to a new system. I was about to do the following:
     
    System backup with a recovery boot disk, in this case a USB.
     
    Restore the entire operating system to a new system that will have a SATA drive in it. The new system will have a COST for Windows 7.
     
    Start the XP and upgrade to Windows 7.
     
    My question is, will it work or the absence of the COA of XP on the new system will prevent me to install?
     
    Any help would be appreciated.
     
    Thank you

    Short answer, "no, this will not work."

    It is unclear what you mean by 'backup' and 'restore', but it seems that if you are referring to the creation of a disk image or a clone of disk on an external drive and then either restore the image or cloning to the new computer.  Assuming that both of these computers was provided with Windows pre-installed, this process will almost certainly result in a facility that cannot be 'activated '.  In addition, unless the software you use has something like Acronis Universal Restore, restore the image from your old computer to a player in a new computer with a different hardware simply will not work.

    In addition, the lack of an XP license is not the issue.  There are several problems with the process you describe, but basically, an "upgrade" from XP to Win 7 requires a "custom installation" which means that applications should be re-installed.

  • Identify the elements of L1 backup and restore the last control file

    DB version: 11.2
    Platform: Solaris 11

    We went to a database of development last month. But we kept backups rman Level0 and Level1 more archive logs generated after the last L1.
    Our N0 and N1 were planned with an interval of 4 days.

    The dev team now wants this DB restore in another machine. In a catalog schema, we did not keep the rman metadata. All we have is the backup pieces.
    stcdev_p4lor85q_1_1.bkp
    stcdev_yls3gkjl_3_7.bkp
    stcdev_mhfr8293_5_4.bkp
    stcdev_ipxsr8293_5_4.bkp
    .
    .
    .
    I don't know which of the backup are those who is from L0 and L1. If I managed to restore the last file to control the last backup of L1, then things will be easy. What happens if I am wrong to restore the old file of control of L0, which has no info on any new datafiles/tempfiles that I added after than L0.

    You guys, how such situations?

    After you restore the controlfile, simply ALTER DATABASE MOUNT, and delivers then a BACKUP of the LIST. The list will show you what knows the controlfile-if it shows the L0 and L1 of backups, you can use it. If it shows only the L0 backup, try to restore the 'other' controlfile.
    If you can see the timestamps of the backuppieces, which could help identify who's the backup "later."

  • I have 2 copies of open Firefox (two different windows with lots of tabs), if I reboot can I restore the two sessions?

    I have 2 copies of open Firefox (two different windows with lots of tabs), if I reboot can I restore the two sessions? I am familiar with clicking history / restoration of previous session, but do not want to reboot to let windows update to do it's thing unless I can restore the two sessions.

    If they run different profiles, then Yes.

    Thanks, but I use only 1 profile. However, I found the answer! If I restart/turn off / down pc WITHOUT closing a firefox session, he will come with the screen 'well, it's embarrassing"and list the TWO sessions to restore. The trick is not not to close before stopping! If you close them first, then you can only restore the session first (?).

  • Recently upgraded to El Capitan, I had that problem for Mail stop unexpectedly when I saw some posts.  I followed the steps and was able to remove the trouble messages.   Now I can't restore the mail window message viewer component.

    Recently upgraded to El Capitan, I had that problem for Mail stop unexpectedly when I saw some posts.  I followed the steps and was able to remove the trouble messages.   Now I can't restore the mail window message viewer component.  When I try to catch the separator bar to go back to the left, only half of the small arrow icon and line appears, and it cannot be moved.   Can open the message by double clicking a message viewer.

    Hi there, alicefrompa!

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. From your post, I understand that you do not see the Message Viewer box which allows you to read your e-mails; only see you the Inbox that includes a brief overview of the message and are unable to restore access using the separator bars. I have had this happen to my own Mail app and am happy to let you know how I could fix!

    You are really on the right track - you want to roll your mouse over the divider between the Inbox and sections Message Viewer (which should now be on the extreme right edge of your mail window) and drag it to the left.  When you click on the receipt/Message Viewer box, the cursor turns into a line continuous black with a single arrow pointing to the left. When you see the cursor change, click with the left button of the mouse and (while holding down the mouse button in) drag the combination line / arrow to the left. You may need to drag a little further than before to get it. I had to hang mine almost completely in the middle of my Mail app before the display of the message box appeared.

    From there, you should be able to adjust the boxes to your widths you want as expected.

    If you are still not able to get the display of the messages visible after have try this, here are a few more things that you can do.

    1. Press command + O on your keyboard.
    2. Exit the Mail application, and then press on and hold the SHIFT key on your keyboard while reopening.
    3. Restart your Mac by selecting the menu  Apple in the upper right of your screen restart from the menu drop down.

  • Can I reset my MacBook Air and restore the backup I made before to reduce others' storage space?

    Hello

    so I have the 126 GB MacBook Air. My problem is that the other takes 87 GB!

    So can I reset my laptop and restore the backup later like you do with iPhones to reduce the "other"?

    I guess this could work, but I'm afraid something away...

    I hope that there is someone who can help me!

    Thank you!

    There is nothing necessarily wrong with 'other' as long it's documents, etc. that you need.

    Make a backup and a restore just grow what you have now. I would not recommend it.
