Am trying to configure rman to backup to a directory to a linux server on the network. Database is on windows server. Here is the parameter changes
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '\\204.47.240.126\bexdisk\backup\%U'
;
new RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/oraback/rman/sde_backups/%U';
new RMAN configuration parameters are successfully stored
starting full resync of recovery catalog
full resync complete
Here is my rman script
ALLOCATE CHANNEL FOR MAINTENANCE DEVICE TYPE DISK;
run
{
crosscheck archivelog all;
[Code]....
instead its backups but to my ORACLE_HOME\database directory..
We have production database.We would like to have 15 last online full backups (sheduled once a day) and to be possible to restore database to a point in time only between last backup and current time.
If I configure retention window for 15 days, archive redo logs in last 15 days are also backed up, and this consumes lot of space, which is a problem here (database files and arhive logs are of a huge size).(There is enough space for 15 full backups and archive log for one day though)
How to configure RMAN for this?I was thinking about configuring retention policy for 15 days and adding this lines at the and of a daily RMAN cronjob:
backup archivelog all not backed up; CROSSCHECK BACKUP DEVICE TYPE DISK; DELETE NOPROMPT ARCHIVELOG ALL;
We are running oracle 10g on a solaris system. We were taking the backup to the tape system previously. But the tape system is broken due to some reasons and cannot be used now. Now I am trying to take a rman full backup with archivelog to a NFS disk. The server in which the NFS disk lies is in Ubuntu. I have also considered that there is some problem with the NFS rman backup but can be solved by using hard and noac while mounting. Now I wanted to know is, what parameters should be changed to direct the backup sets to the new location in NFS instead of the old disk ? Do I need another media manager as in tape?
Accidentally without checking the channel allocation I have given the backup archivelog from sequence until sequence with delete input. This backup piece went to the disk but it should go to Tape.I know that we can catalog this backup piece but I want to move this backup files in disk to Tape using RMAN. Is there anyway or I have to lie with Backup team or OS team for this file movement?
I've been asked to configure RMAN on an existing Oracle 11g R1 database running on Windows Server 2003 (32-bit) & when I connect using RMAN client to the database instance, I'm getting the following error setting the Fast Recovery Area and don't know why:

I just made the swich to have my RMAN backup directly to tape and here are the parameters I have set.
CODECONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO 'SBT_TAPE'; CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE SBT_TAPE TO '%F'; CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' PARALLELISM 4 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET; CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE SBT_TAPE TO 1; # default
[code]...
When I do an active clone I need to set my parameters back to the following in order to makeit work.
CODECONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE OFF; # default
[code]....
Instead of un-doing my RMAN TAPE settings, is there something I can do in my active clone script to tell it read/write from/to disk instead of tape. I tried allocatiing disk channels but was unable to get my script to work. The only way it worked was to back out all the tape settings and put everything back to disk.
CODErman catalog=rman/rman@prod target=sys/sys@prod << EOT connect auxiliary sys/sys@dev duplicate target database to dev from active database nofilenamecheck pfile=/u01/app/oracle/product/11g/dbs/initdev.ora; exit
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)
multiple disk failure, the database was open at the time.We have managed to recover the data from the disk and have put it on another disk.We have got a new server with oracle 9 running.
A blank database has been created.I have copied the control files and redo files onto the new server and left the datafiles , (.dbf,.ora) on a seperate external disk F drive (this is because the original database resided on F drive)I can mount the database , however when I try to open it I get the following
ORACLE instance started.

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?
I am tryign to run a split onlike full backup from the os useign the sap command which is linked to rman..Command that i am useing is ...

The backup goes thru but i get this erro on the end...

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;

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_

This is the backincr.sql:

Tape streaming is not happening while performing RMAN tape backup. On investigation, you find that it is not because of the incremental backup or the empty file backup and that RMAN is sending data blocks to the tape drive fast enough.What could be a solution to make tape streaming happen during the backup?
A.Configure backup optimization
B.Configure the channel to increase MAXOPENFILES
C.Configure the channel to increase the capacity with the RATE parameter
D.Configure the channel to adjust the tape buffer size with the BLKSIZE option
We have the requirement of performance testing of our proposed production platform, for this i am asked to take RMAN backup of clean position (Say Day0 or baseline backup) and restore it multiple times for few rounds of testing. My question is after 1st restore (with set until time of day0 position) if i open the database with resetlogs, would i be able to restore same clean backup again? I am using control file in the environment instead of RMAN catalog database. What i can do to make this scenario work? I am already in preperation of setting rman catalog database.
