Backup & Recovery :: Backing Up / Restoring Oracle Database Via Entire Backup Of Server
Aug 7, 2012
I've read a lot about the different types of backup available with Oracle (hot and cold backup). However, I was thinking of a different way of performing this task. I'm currently using Windows Server 2008 R2 and Oracle 11g Standard Edition. I'd like to schedule an entire backup of my server via the utility "Windows Server Backup" (available for free).That way, I could recover my entire server with all the programs and files in case the latter crashes.I'm wondering if this solution could be used as a way of backing up (and recovering) the Oracle database. Should I still set up a regular hot backup with the Archivelog mode enabled in case some operations/transactions were being done at the time of the crash (for the data integrity)?

Backup entire database, without archived logs, while the database is open for user activity and also This backup should be the base for an incremental backup strategy.

I have an issue with restoring a RMAN backup that i have with me to a new database instance. What i have with me are: 1. Backup of SPFile.
(O1_MF_NCNNF_CTLFILE_BU_92DVGYO2_.BKP)2. Backup of Control file (O1_MF_NNSNF_SPFILE_BU_92DVGW9H_.BKP)3. Full database backup (O1_MF_NNSNF_FULLPROD_BU_92DVGW9H_.BKP)
I have received these files from a customer environment and I need to restore these to a new database instance in a local machine. I have given a attempt as follows (in Oracle 10g): 1, Created a new database instance (Test75) using Oracle Database Configuration Assistant2. SET ORACLE_SID = Test753. Connected to this instance using RMAN4. Tried to restore the SPFILE from the received BKP file.I am getting errors and cannot proceed. I am not sure whether I am executing the correct steps.

I have a live server on which Oracle 10g Database is running. We take full RMAN Backups everyday. Now we want to restore the RMAN Backup file from the Live server to another machine (which is going to be a test system). I want to restore the latest RMAN backup on the test machine (which is not on network).
When I copy the RMAN backup set in the flash recovery area of the test machine and then use "list backup", the backup set is not listed. I also tried "crosscheck backup" and then "list backup" but still the backup set does not appear. how can I register the backup set from live server into test machine and then restore it.

Just inherited an 8i DB that is being backed up with then common techniques used prior to RMAN. The tablespace is placed in backup mode, an OS copy of the file is taken, the tablespace is returned online, and the process is repeated until all files captured in an usable state.
It is running in archive log mode on a Linux OS and daily backups are initiated through crontab as well as jobs to purge the redo logs after backup. Backup storage recently filled - working since 2004. Not bad!
I have documented procedures for using these files with an operational 8i DB. Will I be able to restore these files directly into an 11g environment? What is the implication of 8i having DBA managed "RBS" (roll back segments) vs. 11g?
I am thinking I will have to build both versions.

I've pasted some of the results of an RMAN backup that I ran. It says that it's backing up both the Control File and the SPFILE, but it appears that only one file is being created. Is this correct? How does this work? Are both files combined into the C-3843121877-20120619-00 file?

Also, regarding the below configuration of RMAN - I can change this directory to whatever I want, correct? In other words, is it just the directory where I am putting the backup?

My boss gave me a 1GB Oracle .dmp file, and I told him that I could handle it easily (ie, install Oracle on a machine, import the .dmp file, and export / move it onto a MS SQL server).
Oracle has turned out to be far more difficult to learn than I originally thought, however. Even after a week of reading search results and watching YouTube videos, I still feel completely in the dark.
Restoring an Oracle backup? (Once the backup is restored, that should be it - I have an ETL tool (Scribe Insight) for reading an Oracle database and moving it to SQL. I can use GoToMeeting for screen sharing.)

I am trying to clone a database on another server with different direcory structure. So that path on the source db server are /u04 whereas on on target db server it would be /u03.
Since this I am testing it on small database initially I have kept all datafiles, backup and archivelogs at /u04 and /u03 on the source and target db servers respectively Now I have copied the backups from source db server to target and since path is changed, I cataloged it
However during restore I am getting

shutdown database.
Place available dbf files in the location for new database, replacing existing files.
edit trace file to create new controlfile. Script is:
STARTUP NOMOUNT

We are using Oracle 10g R2 in Windows Server 2003. I'm trying to restore a database in a new server, using RMAN backups.
Our external consultant configured RMAN scripts for full and incremental backups but never tested them . Since he just doesn't show up, I'm forced to tested them, restoring the whole database in a new server.
My instance is named MTDPROD, and I will create all from scratch.
At current server, RMAN files are generated in:
//192.168.1.149/g$/XXXSRV4-ArcLogs/MTDPROD/RMAN
At new server, I run all these commands:
C:>oradim -new -sid MTDPROD -intpwd mtdprod
Instance created
-- I created the relevant folder hierarchy under <ORACLE_BASE>
directory
-- Then, I created the relevant directories for Oracle Database, as
follows:
--a. Create BDUMP, CDUMP, and UDUMP directories under '<ORACLE_ BASE>
[code]....
By instance, I see a lot of this kind of files:
- FULL_MTDPROD_20110529_386_1.BAK
- INCR_MTDPROD_20110621_480_7.BAK
And only see these two files:
- C-2169285856-20110527-03
- C-2169285856-20110527-04
It seems that this C-2169285856-.... files only were on 27/05/2011 and then no more. However, the FULL_... and INCR_.. files are generated every day. The FULL is generated at the end of each month and INCR is generated every day.
This is the backfull.sql:
run {
allocate channel c1 type disk maxpiecesize=4G;
CROSSCHECK archivelog all;
backup
incremental level 0
format '\192.168.1.149g$XXXSRV4-arclogsMTDPRODRMANFULL_
[code]....
This is the backincr.sql:
run {
allocate channel c1 type disk maxpiecesize=4G;
CROSSCHECK archivelog all;
backup
incremental level 1 cumulative

I am attempting to use an rman backup form our live server to restore live data over an existing dev database with a different name. I cant use the duplicate command as the versions of oracle are different (10.2.0.4 EE on live, 10.2.0.5 SE on dev) So I copied the backup sets including an autobackup control file onto the dev server. I set the ORACLE_SID to the DEV version (SUN43DEV) and startup nomount and restore controlfile from the backup location. This works and restored the live controlfile. However, I then wanted to mount the database and catalog the backupsets before making a note of the last archivelog etc and restoring the backup with set newname options. But when I try to mount the database I am told that the database has a different name (SUN43 is not SUN43DEV). I read somewhere that I need to set the ORACLE_SID to the live value (SUN43) and restore as that, then use nid TO RESET THE DBID and DATABASE NAME. However, my tnsnames on DEV has no entry for the live database, and we do not have any service defined through ORADIM for the live instance on the dev server. Should I be creating an entry in DEV tnsnames that actually looks at the LIVE server? or do I need to create a service and tns entry etc for SUN43 on my DEV server pointing at the DEV server I have not seen any mention in instructions of creating a service or adding the entry to tnsnames, or indeed adding an entry to the listener for the original live sid. I am worried that if I actually point to the live server then the restore would be attempted on the live server not dev even though I am running it from Dev.
Also, do I need to drop the existing database on DEV before I restore or will RMAN just restore over the top of it?
Finally, if I try to add an entry to the LISTENER.ORA for the new sid, when I stop and start the listener, or reload, the entry is not recognised. I also noticed that the existing SUN43DEV entry is not in there either, yet I can still use that SID - I am assuming that is because the listener is not being used and the sid is recognised from the existence of the service in windows services instead?

We are running a 5Tb database backup which takes really a long time to backup and impacts the performance in general during the backup. We got a DataGaurd database in place which we want to utilize to run the RMAN backup on to avoid performance impacts and just use DG database for backup and DR purposes. My Question is if we run the backups on DataGaurd Database, How would a RMAN DG database backup would clear the archive logs from Primary production and from DataGaurd Database during the backup process?
