My server hard disc crashed yesterday and i don't have any backups.
I am able to recover the .dbf files by using a recovery tool.
is it possible to use this .dbf files into new server and recover my data.
I have the following situation: a customer sent me a group of files, that he said to be a "backup" of an old database, that is no longer online (he doesn´t use our software anymore). However, he needs to recover the data in this database. The person at the company who generate these files doesn´t work there anymore, so we don´t have any of the following information:
- Database version, connection details, service names, user names neither tablespace names.
We were just told that these files were recorded in a DVD, and is que only source remaining.
The files he sent are the following:
ctrlcf_satp_01.ctl
ctrlcf_satp_02.ctl
ctrlcf_satp_03.ctl
daddf_satp_dad_01.dbf
[code]......
Is there a way to access this data? Or can I tell our costumer that your data is lost forever..
how to take backup and recover of oracle database and which method is best for to protect our data from lost
View 3 Replies View RelatedOur client has this scenario:May 23th 4:00 PM a user truncate a critical table. The customer need to recover the data before truncate.
The recover materials list like this:
1. A cold backup of this database at May 1th.
2. The archive log except May 1th ~ May 15th.
3. Every day exp at 00:30 and 12:00.
Is there any way to recover the data before truncate table with these material?
I delete some of the data from a table unfortunately and make commit on that on my production server.
getting back my all data of this table only of last 15 minutes.
I have a database for which I use RMAN for backup & recovery. The database is in archivelog mode. Online redo log files are multiplexed and I have more than one destinations for archive logs. If, due to a disk crash, all data files and redo log files are gone - and I have archive logs, one member of each redo log group and a full database backup available, I can recover till the last archived log. But I want to ask that what about the transactions which were not archived at the time of media failure? How can I recover committed transactions which were not archived at the time of crash, and I have a mirrored copy of log group which was current at the time of failure?

I have completed the following steps in the restore process.
1. Creating a pfile from spfile

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.

1. Why aren't my data files backed up to the location I specified when I backup using PLUS ARCHIVELOG syntax?
2. Why are my redo logs saved to two different backup sets and not just one?
3. Is there a way to combine backup of all files (data files, control file, spfile, redo logs & arch redo's) in one backup set, one file?
I have a 10G Express system running. I Have 2 tablespaces in production. WHen taking backup, it terminates unsuccessfully saying system01.dbf is damaged. The application works fine and no data loss is found through the application interface.

I am trying to create my database on a new server using rman incremental hot backups.
I have already restored and recovered my level 0 database on new server, but i am not able to restore/recover the level 1 backup on the new server. I have transported level 1 backup irom the old server to the new one. Do i need to recover lvl 1 bkp only or restore it also.
I'm in the process of testing a restore/recover from a simulated full system and media loss. A level 0 backup was taken from the server, and I'm trying to restore/recover to a point in time on a second server. I have created the database (with the same name) and have been able to successfully restore both the controlfile and spfile from the autobackup.
how does RMAN treat the "set until time"? The level 0 was taken on a database/server that is in CST while the database I'm trying to do a restore/ recover to is in EST. So when trying to do a point in time recovery, should I specify the time in EST or CST?

Current time :05 Apr 2011
I have to perform the TSPITR of a tablespace to recover it to a time 03-apr-2011 5 pm.Now I have done that.
Now I find that I need to actually recover it ti 04-apr-2011.Can I again recover the tablespace to 04-Apr after recovering it to 03-Apr by mistake I am not usng recovery catalog;
I am doing some test, seeking your expert opinion.I have a database and have the following backup strategy.
1) Database running in archive log mode.
2) First I backup all the table space excluding one tablespace 'DP_TS_LOB'.
RMAN> CONFIGURE EXCLUDE FOR TABLESPACE 'DP_TS_LOBS';
RMAN> BACKUP DATABASE;
3) I take a separate Backup of DP_TS_LOB tablespace.
RMAN> BACKUP TABLESPACE DP_TS_LOB;
4) I backup all the archived redo logs.
RMAN> SQL 'ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT';
RMAN> backup archivelog all delete input;
Now I wanted to restore the database from the backup excluding the DP_TS_LOB and bring it up and running. DP_TS_LOB is huge and used only on certain work flows. I don't want the database to be down until we restore DP_TS_LOB. I wanted to restore all the other tablespace and bring the database up operational and restore and recover the DP_TS_LOB tablespace datafile's in background taking the datafiles of DP_TS_LOB tablespace offline.I tried the following but unsuccessful.
RMAN> restore controlfile to 'g:ctl_bckctl_01' from autobackup;
RMAN> restore spfile to 'g:ctl_bckspfile' from autobackup;
RMAN> sql "create PFILE = ''G:ctl_bckPFILE'' from SPFILE = ''G:ctl_bckSPFILE''";
Update the new parameter with new control file name. Copied the control file and parameter file to corresponding location.
RMAN> startup nomount pfile=D:appdivaproduct11.1.0db_1databasepfile;
RMAN> restore database skip tablespace 'dp_ts_lob';
RMAN> alter database mount;
RMAN> sql 'alter database datafile 8 offline'; ==> datafile of DP_TS_LOB tablespace.
First I assumed "Recover Database" will only recover online database files. But got the following error.
RMAN> recover database;

I am having a issue, we are trying to restore our db from control files using Symantec Backup exec, but job fails giving me error go to table spaces select all table spaces and unchecked roll forward.
i am unable to find way to uncheck the table spaces. Here is the complete description.
Cause
The system catalog tablespace "syscatspace" contains all of the system catalog information for the tables. Syscatspace needs to be rolled forward first, and then the other tablespaces must be rolled forward.
Solution
Workaround:
When the restore operation is run from a tablespace level backup, perform the rollforward for the syscatspace tablespace first and then for other tablespaces.
Execute the rollforward operation as a DBA operation. The sequence of the recovery process should be as follows:
1. Select all tablespaces, uncheck the rollforward option and run the restore job.
2. Run the rollforward operation as a DBA initiated operation:
rollforward syscatspace to point in time / end of logs. e.g. db2 => rollforward database UEXIT to end of logs and complete Tablespace (SYSCATSPACE) online
3. Perform rollforward of all other tablespaces.
e.g. db2 => rollforward database UEXIT to end of logs and complete tablespace (SYSTOO LSPACE,USERSPACE1) online
Refer to IBM DB2 documentation for more information on DBA-initiated operations.
When we backup .arc files we issue a RMAN command similiar to this:
KEEP_ARCHIVE_HOURS=2
rman <<EOT
connect target ....
connect catalog ...
sql "alter system archive log current";
[code]....
The problem is at times there may not be any archive files that meet this criteria and RMAN throws an error
RMAN-06004: ORACLE error from recovery catalog database: RMAN-20242: specification does not match any archived log in the recovery catalog
I was considering using the following code to see if there are any available .arc files that meet the backup criteria.
set pagesize 0 feedback off verify off heading off echo off;
select count(1) from v$archived_log where
COMPLETION_TIME < sysdate-$KEEP_ARCHIVE_HOURS/24
and backup_count = 0 and name is not null;
While testing on several systems, I found that the above-mentioned query picked up some redo-logs (*.rdo) I can only assume that these redo logs were used for a DB recovery.
/u05/oradata/dmartdev/redo_01a.rdo120724-JUL-1125-SEP-11
/u15/oradata/dmartdev/redo_01b.rdo120724-JUL-1125-SEP-11

/u07/oradata/dmartdev/redo_03a.rdo120324-JUL-1125-SEP-11
[code]....
I have a few questions:
1) Is my assumtion correct about the .rdo files in the v$archived_logs table
2) I would hate to add special logic and look for something like name substr(name, *.arc) (pardon the syntax). Therefore, is there a way to get rid of these *.rdo files?
I had a production db with archive logging enabled

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;
