Cold backup tablespace restore

From a cold backup can you restore a tablespace to a different database.
A datafile was created and dropped and now we are recieving ORA-1186, ORA-1157 cannnot/identify lock datafile
We know that if our database goes down it won't come back up. The table space has about 250 tables and its huge about 100g in size. Does anyone know of what steps needs to be taken?
Edited by: user10767182 on Jan 6, 2009 8:35 PM

I couldn't quite workout what you were saying, but I think you were suggesting that copies of the lost tables and data are sitting in a second database somewhere, and you would like to pull them out of that database and plug them into the broken database. Is that right?
If so, you cannot take a datafile from one database and plug it into another, unless you use the transportable tablespace option.
Basically, on your broken database, you'd shut it down, bring it back to the mount state and then say alter database datafile X offline drop
That will let you issue an alter database open followed by a drop tablespace X, and your broken database will at least be open, minus the important tablespace
You then get your second database open and make the important tablespace read-only
You'd drop to the command line and do an export using the TRANSPORT_TABLESPACE option -the command is too susceptible to the specifics to show you here. Check the documentation at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14194/rcmsynta063.htm
You then copy the datafile and the export dump file to the server where your broken database is running
You then run an import, again specifying the TRANSPORT_TABLESPACE option
Effectively, the datafile copy gets 'plugged in' to the broken database and gets adopted as a native, brand new tablespace, complete with contents. You finish off by making the tablespace read-write in both databases once more.
Obviously, you lose data using this sort of process: the data comes back into your 'broken' database in the same state it was in your second database, and you can't apply redo to it to recover it to a more recent state. But that's going to be the best you can do if you don't have proper physical backups of the file. Your subject mentioning cold backups confused me a little on that score too.
So I won't go into any more detail for now. It may be that I misunderstood the reference to 'restore a tablespace to a different database' and your requirements completely. But if this sounds like what you are after, and if you are stuck on any of the details, then you can always post a follow-up.

Restoring backup tablespace onto another new TB

Hi
I'm new to Oracle and running 8i on Solaris. Backup is done online and one of the existing TB may have been corrupted (computation error on batch runs).
I'm trying to restore a single TB (consisting of several .dbf files) in the same instance but on a new TB to verify the computed data. I've tried unsuccessfully to:
1. create new TB eg test01.dbf
2. offline this TB and copy the backed up dbf files onto the new ones
3. try to online the TB
I'm getting the error:
ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors
ORA-01122: database file 5 failed verification check
ORA-01110: data file 5: '/mnt/dev_oradata/test01a.dbf'
ORA-01251: Unknown File Header Version read for file number 5
I'm not sure whether what I'm doing is possible (also, do not have any export done). Is there any way to restore the DBF file?
Many thanks for your assistance
Kind regards
Brian

Please have a look to tablespace point-in-time recovery.

How to backup read only tablespace in rman

Hi,
I am using oracle 10gR2 in solaris 10.
I am taking Rman full backup using catalog.
My target database have 5 datafiles, in that one datafile is in read only mode.
When I issue the backup command in rman. it takes only 4 datafiles. its not taking the readonly datafile.
I want to take backup of all 5 datafiles.
kindly help me..
Many Thanks

My target database have 5 datafiles, in that one datafile is in read only mode.I presume that you mean to say that 1 Tablespace consisting of 1 datafile is Read Only.
What does SHOW ALL in RMAN present ?
If you have BACKUP OPTIMIZATION set to ON, the Read Only Tablespace will not be backed up after the first backup.
You could still explicitly backup the tablespace with a BACKUP TABLESPACE tablespacename; , although a BACKUP DATABASE would exclude it.

Backup - recovery tablespace + database Using RMAN

Hi,
database : 8.1.7.0.0
OS : windows nt workstation
I have taken the backup using following script thru rman.
e:> rman target = "system/manager@pso" nocatalog
rman> run {
allocate channel DefaultChannel type disk
format 'd:\ORACLE\pso_b_%u_%s_%p';
backup
( tablespace 'USERS' include current controlfile );
It created following file : PSO_B_14DFIFQ5_36_1.
Before executing this script I created a user vasu with default tablepspace as "users". Created a table EMP with spacifying tablespace to "users"
After taking the backup (no problems in this), I dropped the table. I want to restore the table EMP from the backup copy. So what I did is, I tried restoring the tablespace "users" itself, by using following script.
rman> run {
allocate channel DefaultChannel type disk format
'd:\ORACLE\pso_b_%u_%s_%p';
sql "alter tablespace USERS offline immediate ";
restore ( tablespace 'USERS' );
recover tablespace 'USERS' ;
sql "alter tablespace USERS online ";
There is no problem in restoring it also. But when I tried checking for my table EMP in the user vasu, table is not available.
Am I doing something wrong in this.
I tried with taking complete backup of database and restored it. That is also not getting my table which is there before backup.
Can anyone help on this.
Thanks in advance.

Backup of one tablespace in noarchivelog mode

Hi,
I am running 10g.
Is it possibe to backup a specific tablespace in noarchive mode?
Thanks

Hi
I am able to backup the tablespace,
but after the recovery loosing the table data.
The database is in noarchivelog mode!
here is what I am doing:
my_table TABLE has 100 rows, and is saved under my_tablespace TABLESPACE.
RMAN> sql 'alter tablespace my_tablespace offline';
RMAN> backup tablespace my_tablespace;
RMAN> sql 'alter tablespace my_tablespace online';
Now I truncate the table
TRUNCATE TABLE my_table;
RMAN> sql 'alter tablespace my_tablespace offline';
RMAN> restore tablespace my_tablespace;
RMAN> recover tablespace my_tablespace;
RMAN> sql 'alter tablespace my_tablespace online';
Now the my_table TABLE is after the rcovery empty :-(

Restoring a Rman Tablespace backup to noarchilog mode database

Hi All,
Is it possible to take a backup of a tablespace through rman from archivelog mode database and restore the same to noarchivelog mode database through rman ? Please suggest if it is not possible why it is not possible.
We have a testing database from which a tablespace has been dropped. Can it be restored from the Prod database ?
Please help. The database version is 9.2.0.8..

I think it's possible to backup/restore a single tablespace:
BACKUP TABLESPACE nome_tablespace [FORMAT 'path/bkp_file'];
Being able to backup a single tablespace is NOT the same as grafting that TS into a different database.
First, you are not really backing up a 'tablespace'. You are backing up files. In this case, just the files that implement the named TS, but files, nevertheless. And files belong to a database. Header info in each file defines, among other things, the dbid of the database the file belongs to. And the current scn. That will be a severe mis-match if you tried to 'restore' it to some other db.

Online Backup of tablespace

Hello,
I have a Oracle 9i database which is running in Archivelogmode mode and I perform online backups with RMAN. I use the command:
backup tablespace <tablespace_name>;
My documentation now says that I would have to put the specific tablespace into backup mode first. I understand that applies with user-managed (with O/S command) backups of the datafiles but why for online backups too ? My documentation says that if I do not do the step the backup is faulty.
But I tried it ... it works. I performed the online backup...deleted the datafile...and could restore it without no problem.
So is the documentation wrong ?
Thanks Marcus

Putting a tablespace into backup mode is required for
**user managed** online backups. It is not required
for RMAN backups.
Hope this helps.

RMAN Backup specially for tablespaces

Hi@everybody,
we have a Oracle 11gR2 (11.2.0.3.0) Server, based on RedHat 6, running in our company. For the Backups i'm using RMAN with a script. In that script this code specially creates the backup:
        run {
            allocate channel oem_backup_disk1 type disk;
            backup incremental level ${level} cumulative as COMPRESSED BACKUPSET tag '${tag}' database;
            backup as COMPRESSED BACKUPSET tag '${tag}' archivelog all not backed up;
            release channel oem_backup_disk1;
${level} is for 0 or 1, full backup or incremental backup. ${tag} is the name for the backup. This script is for the hole database. But now i want to change that script to tablespace level. We have some "test" tablespaces, where a backup is not needed. I just found that one:
backup tablespace TEST tag='BACKUP_TEST';
But now i'm not shure how i can implement that into my script.
Can you guys help me?
Thanks and best regards,
David

I've just to ask again to understand it right:
In RMAN - Console i just exclude the tablespaces that should not be backed up with:
CONFIGURE EXCLUDE FOR TABLESPACE Tbs1, tbs2, tbs5;
And then RMAN knows, when he is doing a backup of the database, he will exclude that tablespaces that i've told him? Thats awesome! And easier to handle!
EDIT: I've tested this on my Oracle Test server and it works! Thanks a lot for the answers!

Backup and recovery tablespace.

Hi all,
one is production server and second one is totally fresh server. I had created database manually.
We are migrating the database from hpux to hpux but from one server which is in boston and second server is on chicago.
which is the fast way to do it.
is there any good documents which i can refer?.
thanks a lot.

Logical steps for database backup and recover.
1)     Take RMAN full backup of the 5 customer tablespaces being migrated from
H1 to the mounted Data Domain Server
Read the script for convert tablespace. :Convert data files for non asm server.
2)     Restore table space to the tower hpux server for the new database.
3)     Take an incremental backup from HPUX Burlington. Then repeat step 2nd again for the restore tablespace.
Physical steps for database backup and recover.
1)     This will take a Full backup of table space automatic.      TABLESPACE BACKUP=
RMAN> run {allocate channel d1 type disk;
     backup
     tag tbs_users_read_only
     convert tablespace (table space_name) format '(location for backup tablespace
/backups/ (NEW NAME)tbs_2_%U.dbf '
     (tablespace users)(TABLESPACE SYSTEM)(REST);
     release channel d1; }
2) At HTTOWER database make a table space offline and restore and recover the system.
sql ‘alter tablespace tablespace_name offline;
restore tablespace tablespace_name;
recover tablespace tablespace_name; (change no);
sql ‘alter tablespace tablespace_name online;
3) Take a Incremental level table space backup from burlington.
BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1
     TABLESPACE (tablespace_name)
     DATAFILE 'ora_home/oradata/trgt/tools01.dbf';
(For all the data files.)
4) At HTTOWER database make a table space offline and
restore and recover the system.
sql ‘alter tablespace tablespace_name offline;
restore tablespace tablespace_name;
     recover tablespace tablespace_name;
sql ‘alter tablespace tablespace_name online;
something like this..

Tablespace Backup & Restore

Hi Team,
I am working on the TableSpace Backup & restore operation.
I can able to take backup of the tablespace using the rman script. Also I can able to restore that table space properly without any errors.
Now my query is that How can I verify that tablespace is restored properly or not.
Like in whole database backup & restore , we will create table in database & take a backup of the whole database after that we delete that table. & then we will perfom the Incomplete recovery to get back that table.
Can we have any method to verify for Tabalespace.?
Plz comment ,
Regards,
S. Tiwari

Hi edrian,
Thanks for the reply,
I had created the table in the EXAMPLE tablespace as testing
Now after that I had taken the backup of EXAMPLE tablespace using follwing script.
run
BACKUP TABLESPACE 'EXAMPLE' FORMAT 'C:\BK\EXAMPLE_%d_%s';
& its taking the tablespace backup succesfully also .
Now after that I am dropping that table from the database.
If I do Incomplete recovey for the EXAMLE tablespace , I am expecting the table back in the database. But its not there in the database.
I am using Incomplete restore Script as given below.
run
RESTORE TABLESPACE "EXAMPLE" UNTIL TIME "to_date('Feb 08 2007 11:54:56','Mon DD YYYY HH24:MI:SS')";
Plz comment if I am going wrong anywhere. Also suggest me the proper Incomplete tablespace restore script.
Regards,
S. Tiwari

DROP TABLESPACE RMANTBS INCLUDING CONTENTS AND DATAFILES;..
Will cause the control file to be updated also.
So RMAN> SQL 'ALTER TABLESPACE RMANTBS OFFLINE';..
gives ERROR..
RMAN> SQL 'ALTER TABLESPACE RMANTBS OFFLINE';
sql statement: ALTER TABLESPACE RMANTBS OFFLINE
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================

So only if the physical file is corrupted your solution is Ok..which I know..
Or you have to go for point-in-time recovery..which was Ok
