Alternative Database backup solution's?

Currently I am backing up my database by running an export and backing up the dump file to tape. What can be the major pitfalls of doing it this way? Is there a better way without having to buy the Oracle agent for my backup software? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

scott - kevin is correct in that an export backup will not be much good in the event of a drive failure or other large failure affecting multiple drives/datafiles/tables/...
the benefits of hot backup should be obvious. i think the backup agent software is a really good idea because these agents: typically integrate with the backup management software to provide tracking of what database backup is on what tape, when it was backed up, what to do if there is a tape error, and stream data to multiple tapes, etc; typically integrate with oracle EBU or recovery manager; typically automatically detect when additional oracle datafiles have been added; and typically back up and manage the archive log directory as well. sometimes they can also provide snap backups, and other sophisticated backup schemes if you are using emc or other high-end disk systems.

2x 10.5.2 xServe + raid backup solutions - Suggestions please!

Hello,
I'll give a brief overview of what I'm rolling out. *Limited budget* So keep that in mind
Basically I'm just looking for suggestions on backup solutions for this particular setup. I have been hearing mixed reviews of most backup solutions under 10.5.x... (In 10.4.x server I was relatively confident with Retrospect and had performed restores before).
--2 xServes, One web server, one for local services like mail, OD, AFP, Cal, etc. each has 2x 80gb drive (boot volume + mirror). Advanced server config.
--1x raid configured as raid6 with 4TB useable after formatting and parity. Data (user directory, mail store, calendar, web sites and database, etc) will be on the raid volumes, the 80 gb drives in xserves are only for OS and log files.
--All clients are using MacBook Pro's and most users have minimal data. Most data will be mail and quicktime videos (compressed for web, originals on mini dv tapes).
--MacBook Pro's already live, current server is SBS 2003 and it handles backups via Retrospect.
--Backups will have to be D2D, tape is not an option in this case. This means two external drives for backup (one on site and one off site, cycle on friday). Probably 2TB FW800 for each drive as entire raid isn't being backed up, some of it is scratch storage so 2 TB is plenty for now).
Naturally I want to use time machine but I am hearing of horror stories using time machine to backup advanced server in 10.5. Also seeing issues with cyrus (mail) and time machine (I will be running mail services). In addition, I don't think I could do any sort of cycle with the two external drives using time machine? The lack of configurability in time machine worries me. And finally, I don't know how time machine does with active database' (Ie: sql database for web server, I just don't know if time machine will cause problems when trying to back live database up). If someone has experience with time machine in a similar setup I'd love to hear your thoughts / suggestions.
Alternatively there is retrospect. We already own a license and I am familiar with administering it on 10.4.x. How reliable is it for backing up 10.5.2 clients and 10.5.2 server? Including active databses (Again the web server sql databases, etc? Kind of a pain restoring anything from retrospect (Especially entire server if / when it has to be done) but it was tried and true for me in 10.4.x server installations.
These MacBook pro's will also likely become mobile homes once all is said and done (But currently are not as the xServes are not installed yet). Time machine + mobile home directory seems like a lot of data being backed up that is probably redundant?
To top it all off, until new office is ready (All gigabit when that happens in ~1 year) network is as follows:
Servers have 100 mbit full duplex connection
Clients have 10mbit half duplex (This is where time machine really frightens me with hourly client backup).
Considering above, I can either:
A: Run proactive backup script from retrospect for all clients and then nightly backup for select raid volume contents + server boot volumes.
B: Not backup clients directly via retrospect and only backup contents of the raid volume (Which is where the mobile homes will be stored). Mobile home sync would be set to occur on login / logout only (Considering 10mbit client connections, I don't want active or user initiated sync heh).
Thoughts / suggestions? Thanks in advance, any suggestions are much appreciated. Hardware is set in stone but backup solution is not so most aspects of backup solution can be changed =)

First of all, thanks for your reply!
Well I should clarify in that I wasn't going to operate "network" homes and that they were just going to be the mobile homes with sync only occurring at login / logout. Even then, I think I'd run in to issues with the 10base-T for the client systems. The servers are on 100base-T full duplex. Currently All of the Windows systems do the same and logging in / out isn't too terrible but I couldn't imagine actually running the home directories off the server on 10base-T.
Do you still think mobile homes would be too much with just the login / logout sync? If so, I'll simply avoid this option until we get our new building and gigabit networking all around in the next year.
You're correct in that all clients will be running 10.5.2.
If I am not running mobile homes, I suppose the easiest way then is to in fact backup clients via time machine to the raid volume and then backup the entire raid volume (Hence all of our sites, compressed video files and databases to a large external drive (Maybe I'll get a couple 3 or 4 TB raid drives instead... lol). Naturaly I'd select the scratch disk directories and tell time machine to ignore them. Only issue there being that I may run in to space concerns like you say. If it becomes a huge problem and apple still hasn't made TM more configurable by then, I could use the time machine editor app or modify the intervals myself. I'd rather not and will only do this if it becomes an issue
From what I can gather, time machine is not making complete duplicates of an active database (MS Entourage in this case) and is only backing up the changes. I was worried about how it handled this and whether it would detect a change and just backup the entire database again (Which would be a nightmare if it did this for our web directories as they have active databases running).
Do you know of time machine will wreak havoc with active databases (Like the ones our websites use, a couple small sql databases and one larger one).
I think time machine would work well with the method you suggested. So I can just set it to backup all clients to the raid volume and then setup time machine to backup the raid volume to the external disk? For my off site... I suppose I could just bring in the second identical external drive every Friday and copy the time machine backup database from the on site backup drive on to it and then get it out of there each evening.
As for backing up the servers themselves, they will not be storing much of anything and most everything will be pointed to the raid volume (Hence the 80GB drives). Because of this, the data on the servers themselves will not change THAT much compared to the raid volume which will change drastically every day so full backups of the servers is fine. Perhaps just setting psyncX (assuming it works in 10.5) to backup the 80GB boot volume for each server would be best? I could just set psyncX to backup each server boot volume to the same external drive the raid volume is backing up to and then each friday just copy the data from the on site drive to the external, killing two birds with one stone. (Tape would make this all easier but it isn't gonna happen in this case sigh).
I worry about the cyrus / mail issues I'm reading about on servers running time machine though.

Incremental cumulative backup solution?

Hi to all,
I want to use rman cumulative incremental backup strategy i.e.I want to take one full database backup LEVEL0 every week (Sunday), and one incremental cumulative LEVEL1 database backup every day.
RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;* *// I did this to avoid doing backup on the same archivelogs files, in this case RMAN will backup only files that were not backed up.*
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP OFF;# default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%F';# default
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET; # default
CONFIGURE 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
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM 'AES128'; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO 'C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\DB_1\DATABASE\SNCFORCL.ORA'; # default
Here are my RMAN scripts:
weekly.rman
+run {+
BACKUP AS COMPRESSED BACKUPSET
INCREMENTAL LEVEL = 0 CUMULATIVE
DEVICE TYPE DISK
TAG = 'LEVEL0-SUNDAY'
FORMAT 'D:\RMAN_BACKUP\DB_%d_%u_%s_%T'

crosscheck archivelog all;
delete expired archivelog all;
BACKUP AS COMPRESSED BACKUPSET ARCHIVELOG ALL FORMAT 'D:\RMAN_BACKUP\arch_%d_%u_%s_%T';
CROSSCHECK BACKUP;
DELETE NOPROMPT OBSOLETE; // To delete backup (LEVEL0 and LEVEL1) and archivelogs files because RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1 and to make free space for new LEVEL0 backup.
DELETE NOPROMPT EXPIRED BACKUP;
crosscheck archivelog all;
delete expired archivelog all;
DELETE NOPROMPT ARCHIVELOG UNTIL TIME "SYSDATE-3";
+}+
daily.rman
+run {+
BACKUP AS COMPRESSED BACKUPSET
INCREMENTAL LEVEL = 1 CUMULATIVE
DEVICE TYPE DISK
TAG = 'LEVEL1-MONDAY'
FORMAT 'D:\RMAN_BACKUP\DB_%d_%u_%s_%T'
DATABASE;
BACKUP AS COMPRESSED BACKUPSET ARCHIVELOG ALL FORMAT 'D:\RMAN_BACKUP\arch_%d_%u_%s_%T';
crosscheck archivelog all;
delete expired archivelog all;
DELETE NOPROMPT ARCHIVELOG UNTIL TIME "SYSDATE-3"; *//To delete archivelog files older than 3 days, I do not have enough space to store archive files from all week.*
+}+
What do you think about this RMAN scripts?
Do you have a better solution?
Thanks in advance for any proposal or suggestion!

Your script looks good. As an alternative, you can also use the following command:
Backup archivelog until time 'sysdate-3' backedup 1 times to 'sbt_tabe';
Any suggestions are highly appreciated.

Error restoring SQL 2008 R2 DB into SQL 2012: BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup.

I have a SQL 2008 R2 database that I am trying to move to 2012. Made a full backup of the database in 2008 R2. Recovery model is Simple, compatibility level is 2008 Went to 2012, created a dummy database, did Tasks--> Restore -->
Database , located the backup file, selected it, changed the file locations and tried to restore the backup (with overwrite option), got the following error:
BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup.
This is a simple task that has always worked in 2008 R2. Does anyone know what the problem is and a possible solution?
Thanks

Hi,
This error occurs when the database recovery model has been changed to Simple and/or the recovery model has been changed back to Full but a full backup has not been performed since the change.
If a full backup has been performed, the following conditions will require that another full backup be taken:
· The recovery model had been changed without taking a full backup
· A SQL maintenance plan task had changed the recovery model (reindexing can cause this)
· A backup specifying TRUNCATE_ONLY had been run on the database
· The database was detached from another server and attached to the current server
Additionally, if we take full database backup after the Database is set to readonly, Then transaction log backup we will end up with this error. This is expected behavior. I have list an example within the link below.
Please check above conditions and fix your issue, if you have any concern, please let me know.
Example:
BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup.

How to use icons (database, database backup, save, delete etc.) in Oracle f

Hi Everyone,
I am using Oracle forms 5.
I want to use iconic buttons in Oracle forms 5 for database, database backup, save, delete etc.
Example:
Like Oracle Enterprise Manager, a GUI tool, we can see the different icons for different items (icon for database backup, database etc).
How should I get these icons? How should I attach these icons to the buttons/Image item in Oracle Forms ?
Should I give the file path of these icons in property palette of an item in Oracle forms?
If yes, then which property of item, will I use in order to attach the icons?
Please send the solution.
If some one can also send the related icons, I will thankful to him.
Regards
Martin

Hi FRANKS,
Thanks for your useful information.
WIth regards to attach icons to button/text item in Oracle forms,I am still facing problem.
As you said, I created the parameter/variable UI_ICONS in Forms Home and gave the value pointing to the directory holding the .ico files.
And then set the iconic property of the button and the icon's name without its extension.
But it didn't work.Could ypu please let me know what is going wrong?
I am thankful to you.

Does anybody know what is meant by "Alternative data architecture solutions"?, I know when working with computing systems and databases like Oracle, we can have several solutions to a problem, and we have to choose the best solutions among them depending on the current situation, so a general definition of "Alternative data solutions" can be that we can adapt different alternating approaches to solve a problem. But I want to know is there anything specifillay called "Alternative data architecture solution.

Amir.No, there is no "special" meaning to "alternative data architecture solutions." It is not some professional jargon with a meaning known only to the cognizenti. It means just what you'd expect it to mean with common, non-technical definitions of the terms.

Best practice PDW database backup strategy/plan

Hello All,
We are ready with PDW infra , appliance is almost ready. we are planning for implementation.
but before that , I have to document best practice for PDW database backup strategy/plan.
since PDW environment is pretty new . Please help me with best backup strategy/plan which can
be followed to implement in my proposed PDW solution.
your suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Hi Anish.S,
According to your description, you want to backup SQL Server Parallel Data Warehouse (PDW) database.
Before we get to the backup and restore syntax, it’s worth noting that the Parallel Data Warehouse (PDW) appliance architecture offers an environment that greatly enhances backup times (due to dedicated storage and network interfaces, see the following post
for more information -
https://saldeloera.wordpress.com/2012/07/09/lesson-1-of-parallel-data-warehouse-basic-architecture-overview/).
For more details how to backup and restore database on PDW, please refer to the following blog:

Hi,
- RMAN backup solution for the database which is represented by the DB folder Correct.
- OS tar command" to copy the Oracle application which is represented by the apps* folder --> correct me if I am wrong, I am not sure...Correct.
- I am not sure what is the function of the INST folder and what is the best way of backing it up.Please refer to the "Oracle Applications Concepts" manual for details about the INST folder.
You need to use the OS command to backup this top, just the same way you back up the application tier node files.

Why to use SQL Server's native backup facilities, not other backup solution?

I've been asked in my company: why to use SQL Server’s native backup facilities? Instead, they currently rely on other backup software, like Backup Exec, BrightStor, or even Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager. Those solutions let the
company manage all of its backups—including SQL Server—in a single place, whereas SQL Server’s native backup abilities only apply to SQL Server.
So what does SQL Server native backup facility give us more to be forced to use it?

Satish and Pawan ... thanks but, a backup solution is just there. they don't need to pay anything. even though, having a backup solution that backup everything on the server, like files, software.. etc is needed regardless if you have SQL Server databases
or not, and if it does database backup it would be even better and more complete as a backup solution. So sorry your answer is not an enough reason that will force me to leave that complete backup solution and use the SQL Server backup tools specifically to
backup databases.
Olaf ... thanks as well. But I was just counting a number of solutions that i think they are related to backup things. yet I believe that Symantec backup exec does backup for SQL Server database, ain't?! what I understood from the link that you gave me,
that some backup applications (if not all) use SQL Server backup facilities to do database backup, is what I understood correct? if yes then the question will be, is there any situation or reasons that force me to use SQL Server backup tools even if I have
those backup solution (that some of them in the backgroud they are using SQL Server backup facilities)? does SQL Server backup tool give me more capabilities in backing up databases than what I find in backup solutions?
The answer is NO, as of now you get all these features in 3rd party native backups...
So in nutshell Microsoft never forces you to use SQL Servers Native backup -----The only reason why you get native backup featues is since SQL Server is an Enterprise Solution MS provide you all features in-built within the bundle so that you don't have
to purchase any other license (incase you\your company doesn't have one already)

Rsync or other backup solution- single source multiple target?

Seems from http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions … ly-774225/ that I can't do what I want, but I thought I'd ask as well.
My laptop hard disc is going to be backed up to two external hard discs (regular script). What I do right now is run two separate rsync commands, but of course this means that the data (all 300+ GB of it, currently) needs to be read twice. Seems it'd be much more efficient if the data were read once and then written to both external hard discs.
It doesn't seem from the above link and other google resources that this is possible. Can anyone suggest an alternative short of scripting a file-by-file cache?

Doesn't this partially undermine the point of doing two backups? I realise one is off site and that they are on separate devices which rules out some sources of corruption/loss but if you run the backup as you wish and something bad happens to the source during the backup, you are likely to end up with three corrupted copies rather than only two.
I don't manage to do this as I only have one complete backup but I thought that best practice involved not touching one backup while the other backup was being created (or restored or...). That way, you always have one "known good" backup whatever happens.
EDIT: not "whatever happens" but "whichever of any of a larger number of possible catastrophes occurs". Obviously, the third copy could be on a device that dies or explodes or gets drowned by a peeved goldfish at just that moment when mice eat your source during a backup, thus corrupting your other two copies. But you can only plan so far...
This isn't my complete backup solution. I have two hard discs in one location (what I'm asking about here) and another one at a different location. The reason I have two is simply because I have a spare which doesn't have any other use, and it may as well be put to use in this way.
Besides, if something happens to the source, using --backup-dir means I'll still have the last known good copy anyway (not taking into account the backup which is at the different location.

Oracle database backup

I want to format my hard disk. but i want to take a copy of my oracle database
so anyone can please give me the solution for how to take a back up and again how to reload to my new oracle database? if it succeeded is it possible to retain all the schemas of my old database?

One way to do this is to take a cole backup
and restore with backup controlfile.
1. alter database backup controlfile to trace
2. find this trace and backup it to another drive
3. shutdown immediate
4. Backup you database files - if you don't know them (issue when db is open select name from v$session) on another drive5. format you r drive
6. restore your files from backup
7. Open trace file and creater a script from it yous copy and paste one of two cases
8. if it is win nt. make an instance oradi,m -NEW -SID db
9. sqlplus /nolog
10. conn / as sysdba
11. startup nomount
12. execute script created in point 7

<b>    I want to implemente before go live, backup system in my company.</b>
We have received backup schedule from our implementation partner. Our backup system is as follows.
Backup device is HP Surestore Autoloader.
Cartridge capacity is 100/200GB
Backup software is Veritas (version 8.6)
Note: Through this we take backup of our legacy system and it takes around 3 1/2 hour to 4 hours to take backup of 60 GB of our legacy data.
     Right now the problem is our backup software version is old and i even believe, the hardware we have is not sufficient to take daily database backup and fortnightly, SAP system backup.
    The only solution to the problem i can see is
1) to go for another backup device exclusively for SAP system
2) Even go for SQL Agent software used to take backup of SAP system thorugh Veritas.
3) Even upgrade my Veritas version.

Hello,
A indication of the size of each database would be helpful.
However, its NOT a good idea to take only one on line backup a week. What if you have a tape error and cant recover a TL? You have no chance for recovery. This is not best practice. Can the business except a 4,5 or even 6 days loss of data - id guess not.
This is what id do if you don't want to purchase a new device, I would take an online backups from SQL to disk every night - this would be a separate disk! From the disk you can the pick up the backup to take at a time to suit that wont impact the existing backup. Plus you always have two copies of the backup. One on disk, one on tape.
My normal transaction log strategy is similar, again backup to disk, every hour on a production system. Then after midnight move the existing 24 logs into an archive folder. This folder would also be picked up by the existing device at a suitable time before being moved to a 'saved' folder and deleted the next day. Again you always have multiple copies of the data. two on disk, two on tape.

DPM 2010 Cancel Jobs -Database Backup

Hi All,
We have an Exchange 2010 Environment with DPM 2010 Backup Solution.
I am facing issue to Cancel one of the Database Job. We have three mailbox servers and configured 8 database backup per server.

    s>]
    Stop-Job [-State {NotStarted | Running | Completed | Failed | Stopped | Blo
    cked}] [-PassThru] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
    The Stop-Job cmdlet stops Windows PowerShell background jobs that are in pr
    ogress. You can use this cmdlet to stop all jobs or stop selected jobs base
    d on their name, ID, instance ID, or state, or by passing a job object to S
    top-Job.
    You can use Stop-Job to stop jobs that were started by using Start-Job or t
    he AsJob parameter of Invoke-Command. When you stop a background job, Windo
    ws PowerShell completes all tasks that are pending in that job queue and th
    en ends the job. No new tasks are added to the queue after this command is
    submitted.
    This cmdlet does not delete background jobs. To delete a job, use Remove-Jo
    b.

Is there any doc about netbackup as OVM backup solution?

HI
IHAC who is going to purchase OVM, but currently the only concern is they are planning to use netbackup as the backup solution, so they want to know clearly which version of netbackup certifies with OVM.
I can find a certify link as below:

Oracle 7.1.3 on Linux was probably never released -- 7.1.3 predates generally available Linux.
You would
a. install Linux on the new server
b. install Oracle 10g or 11g on the new server
c. create an empty database on the new server
d. export data from the 7.1.3 database
e. import it into the new database
