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.
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:
run {
allocate channel ch1 type 'sbt_tape'
PARMS="SBT_LIBRARY=/usr/local/bin/simpana/Base/libobk.so,BLKSIZE=1048576,ENV=(CV_mmsApiVsn=2,CV_channelPar=ch1,ThreadCommandLine=BACKUP -jm 45 -a 2:71 -cl 9 -ins 9 -at 22 -j 294321 -jt 294321:4:1 -bal 1 -rcp 0 -ms 1 -data -ma 89 -cn oraclehost -vm Instance001)"
TRACE 0;
setlimit channel ch1 maxopenfiles 8;
backup
incremental level = 0
filesperset = 32
database
include current controlfile spfile ;
}
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?

Backup & Recovery :: Incremental Backup Level 1 Or Level 0 Without Archivelogs?
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.
Recovery Manager (RMAN) :: How To Delete All Archivelog Backups Of The Day
Sep 3, 2013Oracle 10gR2 on 64-bit RHEL.Backup Strategy:There will be a level-0 backup of the database every Sunday and level-1 every weekday.Archivelogs will be backed up up every 30 minutes.
Q: How can I delete ALL the archivelog backups that were taken that day (every 30 minutes) right after successful completion of level-0 or level-1 backup?
I want to delete them because they may not be of any use after the level-0 or level-1 backup (am I right)?
Backup & Recovery :: RMAN Restore / Recovery To Previous Cold Backups
Aug 13, 2013My scenario is: database is in archivelog mode.
I run DLY cold backups including controlfile & archivelogs and keep 3 gens of backups and archivelogs to 3 days also. What is the correct procedure to restore back to an old cold backup. Database is backed up Mon,Tue,Wed on Thur we require to bring database back to Tuesday DLY security.
I have tried:
startup mount
restore database from tag 'DLYTUE'
recover database
( this just rolls forward on all archive logs once it restores datafiles, not getting to point to alter database open resetlogs.)
Next tried to :
recover database archivelog tag 'DLYTUE'
( same outcome )
What is the correct rman procedure including should I remove old archive logs from working OS directory ? Also need to know once I restore back and open database to TUE security how do you tidy up the archive logs and dumps which are no longer require i.e. : weds..
I have read about using the set until time option but how to I get absolute time from when cold backup completed if this is the correct procedure.

Backup & Recovery :: RMAN Not Removing Backups
Sep 10, 2012RMAN is not removing obsolete backups and now the backup directory is nearly full.Retention policy is 1, however, there are backups more than 6 weeks old still in the backup directory.crosscheck and delete obsolete commands run every night, and I have also run these manually, yet the backup files still remain.It is like RMAN is not aware of their existance.How can I confirm that RMAN does not need them and therefore delete them manually using OS commands.

Backup & Recovery :: Restoring RMAN Backups On Another Server
May 10, 2011I 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.

View 8 Replies View RelatedBackup & Recovery :: Interoperability Between RMAN And VSS Snapshot Backups?
Jun 8, 2012is it possible to have a vss snapshot backup on the top of an RMAN backup. Because the link [URL] says that we can have an incremental level 1 backup on the vss snapshot backup.
So I need to know if interoperability between RMAN and VSS exists or not.
Also is it possible to have mixed backups meaning vss snapshot backups and rman backups. Whenever we take snapshot backup, is it updated in the control file?
Backup & Recovery :: RMAN Incrementally Updated Backups
Jan 20, 2013I am trying to learn about RMAN Incrementally Updated Backups. I created a database on Server A with the parameters and configurations as shown in image attached. I would like to restore full database on Server B (Test DB).The Server B is exactly same in directory structure as the Server A
e.g. ('E:archive','E:incr_backup'). I would like to automate this process so that it updates the Server B on daily basis for R&D purpose.
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.
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?

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?
