RMAN :: Size Of Level 1 Differential Backup Greater Than Full Backup
Jul 22, 2013I 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
File Size(MB) Tablespace RB segs Datafile Name----1 300 SYSTEM +DATA/db101/datafile/system.257.8208254172 200 SYSAUX *** +DATA/ db101/ datafile/sysaux.268.8208254253 820 UNDOTBS1 *** +DATA/db101/datafile/undotbs1.261.8208254294 5000 TPCCTAB *** +DATA/ db101/ datafile/tpcctab.266.820832485 List of Temporary Files=File Size(MB) Tablespace Maxsize(MB) Tempfile Name---- 1 200..

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?

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

Recovering Standby DB From Incremental Backup
Nov 11, 2010I've got a physical standby (10g) which is missing some archive logs, and thus the managed recovery is stuck. I followed the procedure for taking an incremental backup of the primary from the last SCN in the standby, and then recovering the standby from that backup using rman.
It seemed that everything went according to the instructions, except that the "recover database" of the standby from the backup went much faster than I expected. Afterwards I checked the SCN of the standby (select current_scn from v$database) and it had indeed updated to a number beyond where it was stuck originally. The standby controlfile was restored from a backup of the primary's current controlfile, and the standby restarted. The problem is that when I started up standby recovery again, the standby is still looking for the logs which were missing. I can't figure out why! I've been googling around and digging through the docs, and the only clues I can find suggest that this would happen if the standby controlfile wasn't updated. But I did that.
RMAN :: Incremental Backup - Archive Log?
Jun 6, 2012We 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.
Backup & Recovery :: RMAN Recovery Failing With Incremental Level 0 Backup
Feb 10, 2011We 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.
RMAN :: How To Move Datafile Copies From Incremental Backup
May 17, 2013As part of an incremental backup I recover copies of the tablespaces. These by default are stored in the disk backup location diskgroup. Is it possible to move these copies to another disk group / location whilst still backing up to the default disk backup location diskgroup. I know how to do it with the main datafiles but not with the copies.
e.g.
Current situation:
Original Datafiles in +DATA
Backups in +FRA
Recovered Datafile copies in +FRA
New setup to be:
Original Datafiles in +DATA
Backups in +FRA
Recovered Datafile copies in +BACKUP
Recovery Manager (RMAN) :: Restore From Full Backup While Incremental Lvl 0 Available
Sep 10, 20127 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:

}
exit;
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?

Oct 22, 2012Can you take an incremental backup level 1 or level 0 without archivelogs?
syntax would bebackup as compressed backupset cummulative level 1 database.
The reason I ask is because when I run backup as compressed backupset cummulative level 1 database plus archivelogs # it runs fine, but when I run backup as compressed backupset cummulative level 1 database it just hangs.

RMAN Incremental Backups?
Sep 3, 2010"If no level 0 backup is available, then the behavior depends upon the compatibility mode setting. If compatibility is >=10.0.0, RMAN copies all blocks changed since the file was created, and stores the results as a level 1 backup. In other words, the SCN at the time the incremental backup is taken is the file creation SCN. If compatibility <10.0.0, RMAN generates a level 0 backup of the file contents at the time of the backup, to be consistent with the behavior in previous releases."
So yes, that's it. Even in the Oracle 11g OCP course and exam, the information given is for Oracle 9 (pre 10g). Seems like a major functional regression.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Original problem.
Am I not understanding something about rman????
Using oracle 10g standard edition and rman.
No existing backups.
When I run repeated level 1 cumulative incrementals, the appear to back up everything (like a level 0 would).
My understanding is that if a level 1 is run w/o an existing level 0 backup, it will generate a level 0 backup.
All subsequent level 1 backups should be level 1's as expected.
If I explicitly generate an level 0, followed by level 1's it all works as expected.
I am determining what got backed up by the size of the resulting save sets.
Do I have to do an explicit level 0 and then explicit level 1's? I thought not.

Incremental Statistics Gathering?
Sep 12, 2012 am having Oracle 9i RAC on IBM AIX .
I have large partitioned tables ( 4 partitions are added every month ). Is is possible to collect Incremental Statistics Gathering on these objects ( 9i ). If I collect stats with Ggranularity => ALL and ESTIMATE_PERCENT =100 the stats are accurate but it takes so much time .
One way may be to collect stats as Ggranularity => PARTITION for each new partition ( this quite fast ). but what about the Global Table Stats?
Full And Incremental RECOVERY WINDOW
Sep 5, 2010I have RMAN configured TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 7 DAYS;I do a Level 0 backup on SAT, SUN-FRI I do a Level 1 (all to disk)
After I do a successful Level 0 backup, why would I need to keep Level 1 backups around on disk?I know the recovery window is 7 days but is there any way to remove the other 6 days of Level 1 backups after a successful Level 0?To me this seems like a waste of space since I have a succesful Level 0 or am I missing something?
RMAN :: Manage Incremental Backups?
Feb 15, 2013We just purchased NAS (Raid5) unit to manage our data storage. I am planning to create a virtual partition on this nas device and use one partition for oracle data storage and another virtual partition will be used by other data (files and may be sqlserver data files....etc..)
We will have oracle installed on seperate oracle server. Can we use RMAN to manage incremental backups in this environment? May main worry point is that our data storage device will have many different type of datas and will we be able to tell RMAN to make backups only from certain virtual drives?

In the execution plan of STEP-3, against ID-1 the operation RESULT CACHE is shown which shows the result has been retrieved directly from Result cache. Does this mean that Oracle Server has Incrementally Retrieved the resultset?
Because, before the execution of STEP-2, the cache contained only 2 records. Then 1 record was inserted but after STEP-3, a total of 3 records was returned from cache. Does this mean that newly inserted row is retrieved from database and merged to the cached result of STEP-1?
If Oracle server has incrementally retrieved and merged newly inserted record, what mechanism is being used by the Oracle to do so?
Oracle Database Concepts 11gr2 - Incremental Checkpoints Behavior?
May 3, 2012Oracle database concepts 11gr2 manual states that "An incremental checkpoint is a type of thread checkpoint partly intended to avoid writing large numbers of blocks at online redo log switches. DBWn checks at least every three seconds to determine whether it has work to do. When DBWn writes dirty buffers, it advances the checkpoint position, causing CKPT to write the checkpoint position to the control file, but not to the data file headers."
As i have understand the DBWR write DIRTY BUFFER (that are under active checkpoint requests in the ACQ) to the datafiles from The Buffer Checkpoint Queues and after that the CKPT process may write the checkpoint RBA to the control files.[URL]...
The CKPT porcess write the chekpoint RBA to the controlfile after that the DBWR write the Dirty BUFFER in the datafiles, so as i understand at some point the datafiles containt block with higher RBA than the controle files. am i wrong ?
So if the instance craches before the CKPT record the chekpoint RBA in the controlfile what will be the recover behavior.Will the redo record be reapplied from the last recoded chekpoint RBA in the controlfile to the tail of the log ?
Data Guard :: Configuring RMAN For Incremental Backups In Environment
Aug 24, 2012Here we have a dataguard environment with db1 as primary and db2 as physical standby database. We configured dataguard in 10g environments and we are not using grid control. What are the steps for configuring rman for incremental backups in this environment?
We want to schedule the backups to be taken in standby db, (that is applicable in case of switchover too). In the case of switchover to db2 what all do we need to do in rman manually to resume backups in db1?
