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.
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?
Starting Control File and SPFILE Autobackup at 19-JUN-12 piece handle=C:ORACLEPRODUCT10.2.0DATABASEC-3843121877-20120619-00 comment=NONE Finished Control File and SPFILE Autobackup at 19-JUN-12
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?
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO 'C:ORACLEPRODUCT10.2.0DATABASESNCFPLDG.ORA'; # default
I have an oracle autoback of controlfile and spfile. I am trying to restore the production database using this backup, into a new server with a different directory structure.
I have completed the following steps in the restore process.
1. Creating a pfile from spfile
2. Changing the the location of cdump, udump, bdump and the control files ( there are three )
3. Then creating a spfile from this pfile
I am stuck on the next step where to rename all the datafiles and tempfile and restore the database. Following is what I did.
After mounting the database in RMAN, tried to run the following.
RMAN> run 2> { 3> allocate channel c1 device type disk 4> ; 5> @/home/oracle/rman_scripts/newloc.rman 6> SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 1 TO '/u02/oradata/dorian/system01.dbf'; 7> SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 2 TO '/u02/oradata/dorian/undotbs01.dbf'; 8> SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 3 TO '/u02/oradata/dorian/sysaux01.dbf'; 9> SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 4 TO '/u02/oradata/dorian/users01.dbf';

I am getting the following error message.

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)?
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.

* on my DB server I am login using my administrator account, on my PC I dont have admin account.
* I have checked remote execution using local user as well as admin user.
* I have checked the permission and my local ID & EVERYONE has all permission in that folder.
run { CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON; CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/dd_oraback/tkprod/%F'; CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 22 DAYS; sql 'alter system archive log current';
[code]...
So /dd_oraback is a Data Domain mount. Not sure if that makes any difference or not.
I have taken the RMAN Full database backup through the following command.My database is in no archivelog mode.
AT RMAN prompt Shutdown immediate; Startup mount; run { allocate channel c01 device type disk format 'd: man_bkp est_%U'; allocate channel c02 device type disk format 'd: man_bkp est_%U'; backup full database tag 'full_bkup_test_081111'; backup current controlfile; backup spfile; release channel c01; release channel c02; }
Now i have deleted my all controlfile and spfile/Pfile from the database.So how can i recover my SPfile and controlfile? i do not have autobackup on of SPfile/Controlfile.
7 of days ago Full backup has been taken to disk due to issues with tape devices.3 days ago tape devices have been fixed and we switched to CommVault managed tape backups. CommVault calls RMAN with following command:
These backups done successfully.Then archivelog backup taken similar way.But when I issue RESTORE DATABASE PREVIEW SUMMARY; RMAN starts with Full backup set, though newer Incremental Level 0 ones are available.Why it does not use these newer ones?
I configured recovery catalog and started Full online backup using EMC Networker. In EMC Networker I set three months policy to keep Backup.I didn't change redundancy.
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default
My question is, if I need to restore Backup of last 15 days then I can ?.
I am trying to practice some RMAN configuration settings.Version 11.2.0.1OS - Linux X86-64 What i wanted to validate is if there is no level 0 backup of database taken, then the level 1 backup will be automatically backing up all the blocks of the database(similar to full backup). RMAN> report schema; Report of database schema for database with db_unique_name DB101 List of Permanent Datafiles
I am not sure what these input bytes are which is not matching with the database size(posted in the beginning of thread)? why it has to show as db full when i actually run a incremental?

after i backup my database,i check the alert log ,i found the following errror:

online backup done thru RMAN.Suppose i am taking online backup of full database. During the backup, user's are inserting/deleting/modifying data. This data is getting stored as online archives. Once the database backup is finished, how these archives are applied to the database to make the database up to date.
I am using the following query to determine if my rman backup succeeded for failed. I look for "COMPLETED WITH ERRORS"

I know that the DB INCR is an INCR 0 backup but is there some way query I can join with my example above to tell me this is INCR 0 or FULL BKUP?
I was thinking maybe setting "COMMAND_ID" some text like INCR 0 or INCR 1 or FULL BKUP. Does that sound feasible
I have 2 seperate rman backup one backup is of only datafile ,spfile and controlfile which i am able to restore and recover without any problem say bkp1 taken at 10 am
other set of backup is of only archive log files of same day but later time than datafile backup say bkp2 taken at 8pm...if i restore and recover bkp1 and try to restore bkp2 it gives error datafile exist (possibly due to fact both backup have control file)
if i just restore bkp1 and try to restore bkp2 so that i can do one recover at time it gives error datafile permission issue (possibly due to fact both backup have control file)
I want to restore database upto 8pm time how can i use both bkp1 and bkp2 to do it(restore datafiles and apply all archive logs on it)
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.
We're running 10.2.0.4 Database on AIX with no catalog Database.We keep all the backup info in controlfiles only.When we do that backup, we're able to successfully back it up (including archivelogs). But I'm unable to find any records in the controlfiles.

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).
We are doing RMAN Duplicate set until time to refresh daily our test database for our developers and it taking long time to finish. We noticed on the restore log that RMAN was using a day old old backup pieces to refresh the test database and don't immediately use the latest backup pieces instead.
For additional details here's the rman duplicate command we are using which we run daily(mon-sat) at 4am once daily full backup on production completed.
RMAN Duplicate commands: run { set until time "to_date(to_char(sysdate,'Mon DD YYYY') || ' 04:00:00', 'Mon DD YYYY HH24:MI:SS')"; allocate auxiliary channel ch1 type disk; duplicate target database to testdb; } exit
Is there a way on how to let RMAN use the latest backup pieces instead?
Is this script is enough to delete the backup pieces older than 2 days.
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 2 DAYS; configure device type disk parallelism 1 backup type to compressed backupset;
run { allocate channel d1 type disk ; backup filesperset 5 format '/u06/backup/EBSDEV/EBSDEV_data_t%t_s%s_p%p' database ; sql 'alter system archive log current' ; backup filesperset 20 format '/u06/backup/EBSDV3/EBSDV3_arch_t%t_s%s_p%p' archivelog all delete input ;
We have configured tivoli and getting the below error while execute rman backup.

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_
