So i need to restore archivelogs by using sequence
RMAN>RESTORE ARCHIVELOG FROM SEQUENCE 20 UNTIL SEQUENCE 28;
So the restore is completed successfully
So its very hard to monitor archivelog files
i feel i should have included all archivelog files while taking RMAN backup
RMAN >backup database plus archivelog all delete input;
but the problem is my RMAN backup is already 360GB in size and it takes 4-5 hrs to complete .so i need to schedule RMAN backup at one time (e.g sunday) ,delete the archivelog files older than sundayand now schedule the archivelog backup at another day (e.g wed &sat)
my question is where i have to change my script to backup all avaialbe archivelog files if old archivelog files are deleted at os level?
RMAN> run {
2> allocate channel c1 type disk;
3> sql 'alter system archive log current';
4> backup archivelog all format 'D:oracleackuplog_t%t_s%s_p%p' delete input;
5> release channel c1;
6> }
We have a nightly rman backup that was complete and clean.The backup contains a Data File, Control File and a backup Archive Log file.The database server crashed with all the subsequent archive logs lost.
We are trying to recover from the three backup files.We are bumping into the backup piece missing as all the archive logs are done. how to restore with the exising backup files. the lost archive logs are probably salvageable.
Today we have taken a backup of the Live database, due to some issue, it got deleted before applying into the Disaster Recovery Location.

I am trying to setup incremental backup on my windows OS based server using RMAN command in batch file. When I use batch file in OS scheduler it is working fine, when I am calling same batch file from my LOCAL desktop PC it throws errors as below.

This is what I run

So /dd_oraback is a Data Domain mount. Not sure if that makes any difference or not.
I'm trying to write a bat file for the rman backups that can be used for any of our databases. I'm passing variables into the bat file and that is working fine (i.e. oracle_sid, drive letter, oracle_home), my problem is when the rman actually runs and calls the ctl file, the variables aren't being passed thru to that file.

During the last week, we faced many network issues that prevent our RMAN files to be copied completely. Backup team offer a temporary solution that we have to generate only one backup file to be transferred from source to destination (tape).
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a RUN file within a script to duplicate a database. As part of this RUN file I also run the command configure controlfile autobackup off; as part of this RUN file. However, this command has turned off backup of the control file on the AUXILLARY database (i.e. production) as well as the TARGET database (test). Is this supposed to happen?
My run file is:
rman TARGET sys/XXXX@${DB}-SOURCE AUXILIARY /

allocate AUXILIARY channel a2 type disk;
allocate AUXILIARY channel a3 type disk;

Can the control file be used to store scripts which are used to perform backups? I know the RMAN recovery catalog can.
Does the SHOW command display detailed reporting on the RMAN catalog contents other than configuration information?
Is there any way I can get all the archive log files present in a backup piece. I tried following but it always gives me all the log files for each piece:
****
SQL> select s.set_stamp, s.set_count, s.PIECES, s.backup_type,
s.controlfile_included from v$backup_set s, v$backup_piece p where

Actually, i have test database open in read only and i want to apply archive files carry from production database at daily level.
When i'm going for recovery, since database is already in consistent state, it is not asking for recovery.
We are having an intermittent problem related to failing RMAN archive log backups. Normally everything works fine but once every fortnight or so the archive log backup starts to fail with the below message. We run two Oracle instances on this windows box, so they are using same oracle and TSM client binaries, but it is only of the instances that have this problem - the largest instance though. Restarting the Oracle instance solves the problem and everything is back to normal, until next time ...
This is the error message in the rman log file

I have the incident file as well if that is of any use.
Could the problem be related to running two backups in parallel?
We run full backups once a week and both this time and last time the archive log backup failed it was in conjunction to when the full backup also was running.
Is there any other solution to the problem than restarting the oracle instance?
Since this is a busy production instance it is a big problem for us to restart it outside of maintenance windows.
We have 100 archive log files out of that 20 archive log file are deleted, We want take full Database backup plus archivelog files using RMAN
Is it possible to take backup without 20 archivelog file using RMAN?
Is it possible to take full database backup with 80 archivelog file using RMAN?
We are trying to restore a database on the different server using RAM incremental level 0 and 1 backups. We have weekly Incremental level 0 backups along with incremental backups on daily basis. During recovery of Incremental level 0 backup, RMAN is expecting/looking for Incremental Level 0 backup of prior week as well. Is this the usual process for RMAN to look for prior level 0 backup though we need to restore from the current level 0 backup and roll forward by a week with subsequent Level 1 backup.?
We intend to restore from the Level 0 of 1/16 and roll forward with daily incrementals till 1/22. RMAN is expecting level 0 backupsets from 1/9 backup as well and keep failing since those backups are not available. quick inputs since we are in middle of recovery and trying to resolve if this is even doable.
We are going to implement oracle 11g. Now I wanna use rman to take the incremental backup in the follwing way:
Level-0 backup weekly, in the way:
run
{
allocate channel c1 type disk;
allocate channel c2 type disk;
BACKUP incremental level 0 DATABASE
TAG 'Weekly_full' FORMAT 'E:RMAN_backupweekly_full_%d_%Y%M%D_s%s_p%p.bak';
backup archivelog all not backed up 1 times delete input
TAG 'Weekly_full_arc' FORMAT 'E:RMAN_backupweekly_full_arc_%d_%Y%M%D_s%s_p%p.bak';
[code].....
and RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW is set to 10 days, so that there is no chance that i will delete expired backup before taking backup.
Now my question is,
1) Is the way is correct that there is no wrong configuration. My main concern is about archive log, is it correct?
2) As i am deleting archive log files with the backup and after that the expired archive log backup is also deleted, so is there any chance of failure in recovery.
3) here how archive log backup will work with 10 days retention policy.
There is a archive log backupset,and the backup set contains many archive log file,and now i want extract to a directory,how can i do?

I have one question to clarify regarding backup.
There is an incident that in production database 1000 archive log files generated.From 1000 files, 100 archive log files have been removed.When i take incremental backup next day , what will happen in database?
I have Oracle 10gR2 database on a windows server, I have scheduled rman backup for this database from Solaris server
set echo onrun {
crosscheck archivelog all;
backup check logical database plus archivelog;
delete noprompt obsolete device type DISK;
}
exit;
It is deleting the obsolete backup pieces but it is not deleting old archive logs (obsolete archive logs) and it is not even showing old archives as obsolete when I check thru report obsolete
How one should know whether RMAN is using target database control file or using separate catalog database. Also what one should do if he dont have catalog users credentials.

Are there supposedly complete folder by dates each day? So I am missing archivelogs of 27th, 26th,25th, etc?
I have problem on using "delete obsolete" in RMAN.
First, let describe my backup configuration.
1. Full backup every Monday (17-Oct, 10-Oct, 3-Oct, 26-Sep)
2. Incremental backup for other days
3. Enable autobackup of control file
4. Backup archive log every day
5. RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 30 DAYS
6. Execute "Delete obsolete" every day
7. control file is used instead of catalog
The results observed:
1. Backup of control files older than 30 days will be deleted
2. Backup of archive log files older than 30 days will be deleted.
3. Backup of datafiles older than ~14 days but before 30 days are also DELETED.
In my example, the backup of datafiles created at 26-Sep is deleted at 16-Oct.
I tried "restore database validate until time "sysdate-22"" at 17-Oct. And RMAN reported "datafile xx will be created automatically during restore operation". It seems that RMAN failed to do restoration up to 22 days ago. The retention policy I set seems not effective on datafile backups.
I checked view v$backup_set and the "Keep" is "No" and "Keep until" is empty.
The only thing I can think of, is the settings of "CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME". It is marked "7" in the Oracle, which is less than the retention. But I suppose this only causes the backup not deleted, but NOT be deleted earlier.
We have a 9.2.8.0 database in archive log mode. We want to restore that db to a specified point in time. What is the fastest way to do it ?
