Backup of backupset and FRA
Hi,
seems like I need some clarifications about two scenarios:
1. When we do backup of backupset from disk to tape how recovery procedure looks like ?
- are we able to restore directly from tape or we need to restore from tape onto disk and do restore with that backupset after that
2. in case of FRA backup to tape
- do we have to restore that backup back to fra and then do restore/recovery or are we able to restore directly from tape ?
Please clarify .
Regards

My guess is that a BACKUP BACKUPSET (to sbt_tape) would cause Oracle to register the tape location of the backuppieces as well.
There is no RESTORE BACKUPSET but a RESTORE DATABASE should be able to restore from the tape location (although I suspect it would first look for the backuppieces on disk and then fallback to tape if they are not on disk or are expired from disk).
However, that is the behaviour I expect --- without ever having tested it.
As for the FRA (BACKUP RECOVERY AREA or BACKUP DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST), I expect a similar behaviour -- that Oracle would register the tape location of each backupset-backuppiece that is copied to tape.
Note : Per the documentation for 11.2.0.3 BACKUP RECOVERY AREA / DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST can also backup to an alternate disk.

8174 RMAN: Is there any way to backup a backupset like in 9i
Hi All,
Currently we are using 2 database versions for development, one
being an Oracle 101202 database and another being a Oracle 8174 database.
I am currently looking at implementing a backup strategy using RMAN.
Is there any way to backup a backupset which has been created using Oracle 8174 from a flash recovery area to an external backup tape?
If not, then to do this do we need to manually use 2 channels when backing up a Oracle 8174 database, one to a flash recovery area, and another to a external backup tape (Tivolli being used).
I know this is not a problem with Oracle 10G databse as we can use the command
"backup backupset all" using the 10G rman version.
Can anyone help us in regards to this.
Cheers
RodneyWell we are not actually using RMAN currently, but are in the planning stages of implementing a RMAN backup/recovery strategy for use with 8i business databases and also 10G metadata repositories (for app server 10G).
Currently what I am planning to do is store 8i backups using RMAN onto a network disk as well as onto a Tivolli tape storage medium. The disk backup will be kept for like 1 week at a time.
I am also proposing to store 10G FRA onto a network drive, and then use RMAN to backup the database to tape and disk. Not sure how FRA interacts with RMAN, and will need to do more research regarding this. This can be done using the command backup backupset ....
Note that 8i backups will be separately stored in different network drives to the 10g FRA.
I will also use 8i RMAN for 8i databases, and 10G RMAN for 10G databases for backup/recovery.
Both backups will be using incremental level 0 weekly backups with differential incremental level 1 backups for weekday activity. This is still to be decided on though in regards to retention periods etc. -
Installed Oracle 11g R2. Configured ASM +DATA (for data files) and FRA (for backups).
If the FRA diskgroup (which is non-raided) stops working due to the disk failure, assume all other disks (OS and DATA) are still operating normally, will the Oracle database can still be used/accessed by the user?MORE INFO to add:
Ideally, the FRA should be on RAID 1. But due to the configuration limitation, I can only use one disk for FRA and the spare one for holding the multiplexing files such as REDO, CONTROL, and ARCHIVE.
By this way, DATA (Two ASM disks + raid 1), FRA (One ASM disk, non-raid), and Multiplexing (one regular disk, non-raid).
DATA (redo log + control + others) --> multiplexes to --> Multiplex Disk (mentioned above to hold redo log + control)
FRA (archive + all other backups) --> multiplexes to --> Multiplex Disk (mentioned above to hold archive)
Like to hear your opinion and comments.
P.S. The FRA will hold the backups only, nothing else. And DATA (Two ASM disks + raid 1) will hold the regular oracle data files + redo, control and other related files, nothing else.

I have in my ipad icloud backup window open and I can't close and I can't do anything I tried to press OK and nothing happen is freezing
Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Please I need a help. I cannot backup my ipad and can not get into the iclous storage to delet them, because its read icloud storage is full. Please do you have a knowledge of how I can get rid of the message and get into the ipad?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it. -
ASM Disk preparation for Datafiles and FRA in Oracle 10g RAC Inst
Dear Friends,
Please clarify wheteher the below method is correct to confiure ASM disks for Datafiles and FRA
Partitions provided by IT team for OCR and Voting Disk
/dev/sda1 - 150 GB (For +DATA)
/dev/sda2 - 100 GB (For +FRA)
OS : RHEL 5.6 (64 Bit)
kernel version = 2.6.18-238.el5
Steps:(Node1)
1) Install the RPM's for ASM
rpm -Uvh oracleasm-support-2.1.7-1.el5.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uvh oracleasm-2.6.18-238.el5-2.0.5-1.el5.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uvh oracleasmlib-2.0.4-1.el5.x86_64.rpm
2) Configure ASM
/etc/init.d/oracleasm configure
Default user to own the driver interface []: oracle
Default group to own the driver interface []: dba
Start Oracle ASM library driver on boot (y/n) [n]: y
Scan for Oracle ASM disks on boot (y/n) [y]:
Writing Oracle ASM library driver configuration: done
Initializing the Oracle ASMLib driver: [ OK ]
Scanning the system for Oracle ASMLib disks: [ OK ]
3) Cretae ASM Disk
/etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk DISK1 /dev/sda1
/etc/init.d/oracleasm createdisk DISK2 /dev/sda2
4)/etc/init.d/oracleasm status
5)/etc/init.d/oracleasm scandisks
6)/etc/init.d/oracleasm listdisks
7) Nothing to perform on Node2
8) In dbca choose ASM and map the DISK1 for datafiles and DISK2 for FRA
Please confirm the above steps are right?if not please clarify

Can i use my time capsule to wirelessly backup my macbook and its external hard drive, which up until now was it's time machine and storage? How?
The external drive must be connected to the Mac using either USB or FireWire
You must remove the external hard drive from the list of items that are "excluded" from backups in Time Machine Preferences.
Here's how:
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Time Machine
Click Options
Look for the name of the hard drive in the list of "excluded" items and click on it to highlight it
Click the -- (minus) button at the bottom of the list to remove the hard drive from the list of "excluded" items....so it will now be backed up
Strongly recommend that you do the first backup using Ethenret from your computer to the Time Capsule since the entire contents of the external drive will be copied on the first pass. Ethernet will be 3-5 faster than wireless.
Once you have the first backup done, you can use wireless for subsequent backups since they will nornally be much smaller....unless you add large files to the external drive. -
I have about 130 gigs of movies on my iTunes and was wondering if I can just put them on my backup hard drive and remove them from my main computer to free up the space.
I haven't done this with an external drive, but I would imagine it works the same way as if you have multiple internal drives. Also hopefully it works with less headache in OSX than in windows.
Anyway, move all your music over to your external, and then go into itunes -> preferences -> advanced -> iTunes media folder location. Navigate to your drive, and pick the folder you want. Ensure that your folders are set up like they are in your ~/Music/iTunes folder, or wherever your iTunes is currently pointing. Then quit and restart itunes. If your music doesn't show up, try dragging your music folder from your external onto itunes, and it will hopefully update your library.xml.
As far as Jerry's problem goes, you could try adding another music folder to your library.xml, but I really have no idea whether this will work or not. If you want to give it a try (can't promise you won't corrupt your library.xml, so make a copy beforehand) you can find the music folder xml element right near the top of the xml file (open it with textedit/textmate/whatever text editor you want (NOT WORD)). Curious to know if this works, and if it doesn't I have other ideas so let me know. -
It seems that I must have the wrong settings in place but after going through my preferences, I could not find anything that gets rid of older backups. Its as if it is keeping every backup it ever made.

Thanks, I guess I always thought that Time Capsule did everything automatically and seamlessly.
Time Machine (the backup software) does, if it can, but that depends on the circumstances:
(A Time Capsule is a piece of Apple hardware combining a wireless router and hard drive.)
Effective with Snow Leopard (10.6), there's an option on the Time Machine Preferences > Options window to Notify after old backups are deleted. If that's checked, you might see this message when the disk is nearly full (we don't know just how close it has to be):
Once it is out of room and Time Machine has to delete old backups, it will send this message (after the deletions and new backup are done):
If you don't want to see that anymore, either check the Do not show... box or the Warn after ... box in TM Preferences. If you don't mind seeing it, just click OK.
If your backups fail with this one, the disk really is full, and TM can't delete enough backups to make room (it won't ever delete the last remaining one, though):
However, if you're on Leopard (10.5), the option is Warn when old backups are deleted and instead of deleting any backups, it sends this one:
Badly worded; all you have to do is remove the check from the box in TM Prefs > Options; then it will delete old backups as needed.

I have a Seagate Freeagent 1TB external drive that ejects it's self in the middle of the time machine backup, then disappears and can't be found unless I turn it off and back on again. Any ideas?
Hmmm.. sorry to jump in but...
I Wish I had seen this before I got mine.
Mine has been doing this auto eject stuff too.
I think I just plugged it in and TM let me select it but is it possible
I should have reformatted it with DU first, like with all the WD drive problems ?
Is it too late for that ?
Or just try to return it or get rid of it ?

I have my Time Machine on an external drive (not connected to Airport Extreme) and I have an external HD attached to airport extreme. Is it possible to have Time Machine backUp computer HD AND external HD connected to Airport Extreme. How?
Is it possible to have Time Machine backUp computer HD AND external HD connected to Airport Extreme.
Sorry, but no.
Time Machine will backup your Mac, but not the hard drive attached to the AirPort Extreme.
Time Machine will back up a hard drive only if it is attached directly to your Mac via USB or FireWire. -
my iPhone was stolen. I just got a new one and am trying to backup my contacts and data from iCloud. How do you do that?
If your backup is in iCloud, and your new iPhone is already set up, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go throught the setup screens on the iPhone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts. (If it isn't set up yet, just choose this option when setting it up.)
Be sure your iPhone it connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup. -
I cannot backup my iphone, it keeps telling me the backup is corrupt and not compatible. All forums have suggested I delete the last backup but that was months ago and I'm afraid if I do that and it still doesn't work, I won't have anything saved. Can anyone help?
Try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
Before that, back up your device, explained here:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

Am running Tiger 10.4.11; just got Snow Leopard 10.6.3 (regular OS disk, not upgrade). When I install Snow Leopard, will it wipe everything? overwrite Tiger? Do I need to make backups of applications and files to reinstall after Snow Leopard Loads? thanks!
Hi Donald,
No it doesn't erase anything by default, it does what we used to call an Archive and Install feature, which can give you a new OS, yet preserve your files and settings if you have enough room on your HD...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
But it does it automatically unless you specifically erase the Disk, but will replace Tiger completely for the OS & several Apple Apps like Safari, Mail, etc, yet preserve your old settings for those!
If you think you may need Tiger to run any APPs that do not work in SL/10.6, then clone or backup first.
I would recomend 2 things before installing though...
Make sure you have enough RAM & HD space.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
* Mac computer with an Intel processor
* 1GB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
* 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the new Mac OS X SL/10.6 Install Disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
