Backup restore scenario problem

Hi Experts,
One of the user accidentally truncated a table(exp_data) in morning. that table is in exp_tab01 tablespace. that tablespace only contains exp_data table. we want to recover that table. backup was taken yesterday.
Flashback doesnt work as table truncated. it says definition changed. we dont want to recover whole database, because database size is more than 1 TB.
our backup mount point doesnt have sufficient space to hold complete database backup at one time. we run are backups in chunks because of space issue.
Is there any way i can just only recover a tablespace?
Thanks in advance.
Dave

Hi,
If you have space constraints on your current production server might be a partial restore and recover on a second server could help out.
Than use data pump to re insert the lost data.
The datafiles needed for the partial restore would be:
select file#
from v$datafile
where ts# in (select ts#
from v$tablespace
where name in ( 'SYSTEM','SYSAUX','EXP_TAB01')
or name like 'UNDO%');

DBCA backup/restore scenario

Greetings Oracle Experts,
I am trying to use DBCA to duplicate database on another machine. Here are the commands used:
# To backup database
dbca -silent -createCloneTemplate -sourceSID $DB_NAME \
    -templateName $DB_NAME -sysDBAPassword $PASSWORD -maintainFileLocations false
# To restore database
dbca -silent -createDatabase -templateName $BACKUP_DB \
    -cloneTemplate -gdbName $SID -sid $SID \
    -sysPassword $PASSWORD -systemPassword $PASSWORD \
    -datafileJarLocation /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/assistants/dbca/templates \
    -characterSet AL32UTF8 -nationalCharacterSet AL16UTF16Here's a few questions I have come across:
1. After restoring the database, all users accounts except SYS and SYSTEM are locked. Is there any way to make user account_status same as the original database in silent mode?
2. When doing restore, I can specify the NLS_CHARACTERSET and NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET. Is there any way to make it keep the character set of original database? If I specify the same character set, will there be any conversion (and possibly data loss due to conversion) occurring?
3. What else is different between duplicated database and original database? (ie. File locations, user privileges, etc.)
Appreciate your input and help.

For backup, we create a template based on source database including all data with dbca. During restore, we create a new database from the template.
The actual command:
Backup:
dbca -silent -createCloneTemplate -sourceSID srcdb -templateName srcdb -sysDBAPassword password -maintainFileLocations falseRestore:
dbca -silent -createDatabase -templateName srcdb -cloneTemplate -gdbName srcdb.domainname -sid srcdb -sysPassword password -systemPassword password -datafileJarLocation $DBCA_TEMPLATE_DIR -characterSet $NLS_CHARACTERSET -nationalCharacterSet $NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET

Had 3G, moved to 3GS. Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem. When I want to add songs, I get itunes message that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything. How can I add music?

Had 3G, moved to 3GS. Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem on a Dell computer. But now when I want to add songs, I get itunes message of death that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything. How can I add music without erasing everything on my new iphone?

Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me. Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?

What doesn't iTunes backup? Backup\restore resolves network comm problem

What doesn't iTunes backup? An app of mine is having issues with certain communications, and backup/restore resolves issue. Deleting and re-downloading the app doesn't resolve. This isn't acceptable solution, so I want to know what isn't backed up to figure out what is going on.

An interesting scenario. I thought deleting the app deleted everything, not only the app filesystem but NSUserDefaults, associated keychain items, etc. Does it matter whether you delete the app in iTunes or on the device?
Rather than ask what iTunes doesn't backup, start with what is does backup. See iTunes will back up the following information on this page for an extensive list.

Restore Scenarios when backup was taken on Standby exadata cluster through zfs

I have a question here.
We have a dataguard environment in our exadata clusters. Primary resides on full Rack and standby on half rack. Both x4 and backup are disks to disks through zfs.
The backups are full once a week and incremental afterwards , happens on the standby side per oracle best practice.
However we try to test restore scenarios now and how do we restore the backups to primary?
Thanks in advance.

Hi..
To validate the RMAN backup you need to restore it at some new host server.You can go through
[http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/rcmrecov.htm#BRADV908]
You can even use the RMAN validation command.

E71 Backup/Restore problem after firmware update

after i restore the data using the PC suite, I'm facing a connectivity problem, No MMS and web browsing are working, even after i re-install the settings from the provider and setup wizard, same thing, even the wireless connectivity is not working.
note that they are working be4 i do the restore (plain phone).
any recommendation.
It's never too late to learn ....

I upgraded my firmware (why do nokia call it 'software'?), which i kind of regret now. I don't see any difference to my phone, plus i hit a major problem.
Before upgrading i backed-up my phone.
After upgrading firmware i tried to restore the backup to my phone - wouldn't work!?!?!?!?! - plus the phone said that i had a massive error and had to take my phone back to retailer. it would not restart.
Seriously crazy
FIX:
'Hard-reset' the phone (erases memory and takes you back to basic nokia phone software) - While turning the phone on you hold down 3 buttons: " green-phone & 3 & * ". Hold down for about 10 sec's. The phone should start working again with the new firmware - albeit with only basic settings.
Go to the backup-restore, and restore from your last backup.
HOWEVER, UNTICK 'phone settings'.
This should get almost everything back for you (calendar,contacts,etc), except for any software that you had previously downloaded and installed on your phone (e.g. google maps, fring, skype, youtube, etc). Easy enough to download & install again. Also, you might want to ring your phone company and get them to mms you the configuration settings for internet and mms again.
WHY WAS THERE A PROBLEM? I believe that the old settings of the previous firmware are NOT compatible with the new firmware. This makes the phone effectively stop working when you restore the backup.

I have a new SIM/service and want to transfer all my contacts from the current 4S to the new SIM in my old 3GS. I do NOT want to backup/restore the entire phone contents (iTunes or iCloud), JUST the contacts. How?

Current phone 4S with service from one provider. Also have a new SIM with another provider, and want to copy my contacts from the 4S across to my old 3GS which I will be using for a bit as an alternative. Definitely do not want anything except the contacts copied across so a full backup/restore is NOT what I'm after, and I can't see (in the iTunes backup) how to only do the contacts.

Sorry, my bungle - from what devices I am used to - these Apple things still have me confused at times.
The core requirement is the same - to get the contacts from the 4S onto the 3GS without backing up the whole device/apps etc.
And a second part of that is how to get the contacts onto a SIM for a device that DOES store them there. No doubt that will be a problem as it only has name/number combos, not all the fruit the iPhone keeps under a contact. Maybe it can't done. A simple export to CSV or something that could be edited would suffcie if there were an import tool to get it onto the SIM in the simpler format.

Erase and sync issues (backup/restore)

Hello.
I have an issue with the backup/restore with my iPhone.
Sometimes, it is difficult to find an answer that fits your problem exactly on the forum! Lots of good stuff though!
This post will be little longer than normal, but I need to get all the facts on the table.
I'll try to keep this brief. Please hear me out!
From another post ...
https://discussions.apple.com/message/12273122
Kwopau stated ...
if you do a restore, you only have 2 options, Restore as new, meaning nothing will go on it
and you will just have to start fresh and no contacts will go in there.
The other option is "Restore from Back up _______" it will completely restore your phone
from your last back up and everything will be on there.
End of quote ...
Here is my situation.
I have a 3g 16GB iPhone.
I am still running IOS 3 (not IOS 4).
I do not use sync. I manually manage the music and books with iTunes.
I have an HP laptop.
A while ago, I had to completely rebuild the computer.
The computer has a new computer and user name (I don't know if this matters in iTune/iPhone matchup)?
I have not been able to connect the iPhone since then.
Let me rephrase that.
I can connect with iTunes. I can see all that is on the iPhone.
When I try to add or delete music or books on the iPhone with iTunes or set the manually manage check box, I get the following message ...
The iPhone "myname's iPhone" is synced with another iTunes library.
Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with the this iTunes library.
Most commands appear to be grayed out, I can't add or delete anything.
I do not have anything in current iTunes library at the moment.
My fear is this.
If I do the erase and sync as suggested (iPhone message above) to the iPhone and then use the new iTunes library, will I be able to use the backup (I just created) to restore to the iPhone that I just reset?
If so, will it have contacts and all the other stuff?
I can afford to lose the music and books, and perhaps the apps on the iPhone.
I cannot afford to lose my contact list.
I need to find another way to backup the contact list, Outlook, etc?
If there other posts relative to this, please point me to them.
I am afraid to pull the trigger for fear that iTunes will not recognize the iPhone after the erase and sync and then not allow me to restore.
Perhaps someone can put my mind at ease and convince me that it will all be good if I proceed!
Thanks for you time and help in this matter ...
Bob

Do you know how to transfer purchases? Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes. Click on the iPad nema on the left side of the iTunes window to select it. Then go to File>Transfer Purchases. That should put all of your purchased iPad content into the iTunes library on the PC.
Here are instructions in a very short, easy to follow article.
Transfer iTunes Library to a new computer
This discussion will be helpful to show you how to make the PC work wTunes from the iPad.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3305461
This is the discussion from which I borrowed the some of the text in my post from the discussion above.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
What puzzles me is that if you had updated with the PC, I would have thought that you would have backed up and synced with that PC as well, but read the articles and instructions and post back with questions.
You can email the pdf files to the iPad, or use iOS file sharing, and open and save them in iBooks or another pdf reader app, but start with getting your stuff onto the PC.

Embedding a backup/restore process inside an application

Hi,
I'm writing an application and I want to create a screen where the user can perform database backups and restores. I have a default install of SQL Server Express 2012 and I am executing a query to perform the backups.
The problem I have is that it would appear that there is no common ground on the file system between a standard user and the MSSQLSERVER user installed with MSSQL Express. Every time I try to perform a backup I get the message:
Cannot open backup device 'xxxx' Operating system error 3 (The system cannot find the path specified.).
When I check the permissions it would seem that the MSSQLSERVER user only has permission in areas that the standard user doesn't.
What is the best way that I can get round this problem? (bear in mind that this software will be installed on remote machines therefore whatever I do needs to be reflected in an setup/installation process).
Regards
Chris.

Hello Chris,
Every SQL Server installation do have a "Backup" subfolder, where SQL Server do have permissions to write to; the user needs admin permissions to access the folder. You can query the folder location for a instance with:
exec master.dbo.xp_instance_regread
N'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE',
N'Software\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\MSSQLServer',
N'BackupDirectory'

Backup/Restore for my demo database

Howdy all. I am running Oracle 10g Standard Edition on Windows 2K Server. I have the following situation ...
I would like to make a standard demo database for my company. This database would be put on several machines and used by sales people to demo our software to possible customers. I need to be able to restore this database on a machine with Oracle 10g installed and then run our software on it.
I can make the database and run our software on it just fine on my machine. I am, however running into problems when trying to learn how Oracle and RMAN work with backups and restoring those backups. I am coming from the MSSQL2K environment where backup/restore is fairly simple and straightforward.
Will somebody please give me a basic idea of what I need to do in order to take the database on my machine and back it up and then restore it on another machine. I don't want to have the restore depend on a given file/directory structure. Our software depends on two tablespaces in the Oracle database. So, if it is easier to somehow backup the two tablespaces and restore them than it is to backup the entire database and restore it - then that is great. I will do it that way.
I am basically looking for the simplest approach for restoring this demo database wherever I want to quickly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jeffrey, here's what I use to do this, I have a production database that on occassion I need to make a copy of to perform some testing on, so I just use this to create an "auxiliary" database using the RMAN backups from the production database. I thought in 10g there was a database clone function, I'll have to look that up and get back to you, anyway, here's the instructions I use.
Target Database = RMAN Target (Source database to be copied.)
Auxiliary Database = RMAN Auxiliary (Duplicated database end result)
1. Copy the target databaseâs init.ora file to the auxiliary databaseâs location.
2. Modify disk locations for control files, archive logs and dump dests in init.ora if required
3. Create locations for data files, dump dests, control files and log files
4. Copy RMAN backup files and archive logs to same location on auxiliary DB server as they are on target DB server
5. Create Oracle Service using ORADIM utility
6. Start instance in nomount
7. Create listener.ora entry on auxiliary server
8. Create tnsnames.ora entry on target server
9. Connect to rman catalog, target and auxiliary from the target server:
     RMAN> connect catalog rman/<password>@<catalog db>
     RMAN> connect target sys/<password>@<target db>
     RMAN> connect auxiliary sys/<password>@<auxiliary db>
10. Run the following (modify the sequence count and datafile renames as required.)
run{
allocate auxiliary channel d1 type disk;
set newname for datafile 1 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\SYSTEM01.DBF';
set newname for datafile 2 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\RBS01.DBF';
set newname for datafile 3 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\USERS01.DBF';
set newname for datafile 4 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\TEMP01.DBF';
set newname for datafile 5 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\TOOLS01.DBF';
set newname for datafile 6 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\INDX01.DBF';
set newname for datafile 7 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\SMDBDATA.DBF';
set newname for datafile 8 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\SMDBIDX.DBF';
set newname for datafile 9 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\SMDBTEMP.DBF';
set newname for datafile 10 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\AUDITDATA.ORA';
set newname for datafile 11 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\AUDITAR.ORA';
duplicate target database to mtsd
logfile
'e:\oracle\oradata\mtsd\redo01.log' size 10M,
'e:\oracle\oradata\mtsd\redo02.log' size 10M,
'e:\oracle\oradata\mtsd\redo03.log' size 10M,
'e:\oracle\oradata\mtsd\redo04.log' size 10M;}

Backup/Restore Testing Regimen

I am coming up with a list of scenarios to test our backups. Here are the scenarios that I can come up with. Can you guys think of more?
1. Whole database restore to current
2. whole database restore to point in time
3. missing datafile
4. missing control file
5. restore dropped table to current
6. restore dropped table to point in time
Also, I plan to test back ups as often as I can but of course this will depend on the workload one has, but how often do you guys think recovery tests should happen? monthly? quarterly?
Thanks!

items 5 and 6 are not restoreable by use of a proper backup. Backups restore data blocks of data files. It has no knowledge of specific objects that may be stored on those blocks. You can restore whole databases, data files, or tablespaces (which really are just an abstraction of a data file). To restore a table, you have to restore the entire database.
But as the other poster said, if you can do a full db restore, then your backup is good.

How long do you want to go before you find out you have a bad backup? What is your recovery windows defined in the rman repository?

Backup/restore a system that has 2 OS installed

Hello Guys
I have 2 OS –both are windows XP- installed on a machine on 2 different partitions
Using Rescue and Recovery, I created a backup inside OS number 1,
I tried to restore the backup, but unfortunately, Rescue and Recovery restored only one OS(and didn’t restore the second OS)
So my question is: how can I backup/restore a system that has 2 OS installed
Thanks

Dear Sir
I am a graduate in computer science engineering .For
the past few months I had training in java. There is
serious doubt that has arisen & no body in my contact
has the answer for it.Sounds interesting.
My doubt is that can JVM be installed in a system that
has only OS- DOSOS-DOS ? Is that a variant on the microsoft DOS (like e.g. DrDOS).
1)     If yes then
?     Why cant sun Microsystems starts developing a well
secure OS on that base like Microsoft did.They did, only microsoft failed and Sun worked it out nicely with Solaris (aka SunOS) which is a UNIX variant (which DOS isn't).
?     Can applet be run (or developed) in a purely DOS
based systemYou can develop them, just not run or compile them ;-)
>
2)     If not then
?     Why java is said to be platform independent.Because it is, the specs are out there, you're free to write a JVM for DOS (I'd suggest version 6.22).
Hope that my simple doubts will be cleared through tech personals.If those are doubts about a language I'd see you need to straighten out your prioritiets.
Tech personals? Are those personal advertisements for technical dating or something?

Thanking you
Yours sincerely

No problem.
p.s. to other guy that posted that IBM wrote MsDOS (aka DOS, the most widely spread version, which I'm assuming we're talking about), no they didn't, microsoft did, that's where Bill Gates got his money with.
IBM had it's own variant and was pushing the PC hardware market (the ancestors of our pc's were either IBM or IBM compatible).

Backup/restore questions LMS 4.2

Hello,
I have several questions regarding data migration from LMS 3.2.1 to LMS 4.2.We will perform backup and restore procedure on new LMS4.2 server machine .
1. I am wondering what will happen with admin password aftrer restore, and all the other passwords in LMS. What will be effective? What will happen with database passwords?
2. Other thing is : LMS 3.2.1 is installed on D:\ProgramFiles\CSCOpx and the new LMS 4.2.1 is installed in D:\CSCOpx
Will there be problems during restore, because the paths on old and new LMS server are not the same?
3. When to perform the licensing? Should I apply license before restore? I think I would have to apply it before beacause customer has 300 devices and eval license iz for 100 only.
4. Does PI_CM license - Compliance Management License comes with the product? How do we get this license? I am aware that this CAAM is new feature in 4.2 version so I am not sure does the customer have rights on it. They have bought upgrade from 3.2 to 4.1 and they have valid support contract so we will go to 4.2 version.
Thanks!

Following are the answers :
1. LMS's user info and passwords are stored in cwpass file under NMSROOT\lib\classpath\com\cisco\nm\cmf\servlet, which is also
backed up with DB backup. Hence restore would bring all previous user names and passwords.
2. Ciscoworks has a mechanism which doesn't bothers the install directory. It sets environment variable as NMSROOT which is replaced by
the install directory and hence there should not be any issue. Please note that Inter-OS resotre are not supported.
3. You can apply the license anytime, but it is good to install it before backup restore, else the excess of devices, more than 100
will go to unmanaged state and will have to be brought back to managed state once lic is applied.
4. CAAM lic has to be purchased separately. You can contact lic. team or your accounts team for this.Till that time you can use it with its 60 days eval lic.
