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 Test on SQL server. Am I right?

Hello Colleagues,
We want to execute the following plan in order to test our backup&restore infrastucture. Please couls you point me if I´m leaving something back?
SQL Server 2005 SAP nw2004s based system (I think that the below procedure is valid no matter the system is Abap standalone, JAVA standalone or ABAP+JAVA standalone)
We want to Stop SAP production System HRP in production host.
Detach HRP SQL server in production Host.
Restore from the last full backup on production Host changing the database name to HRPNEW (logical name and filenames)
Attach the new restored files to the SQL Server 2005 (I think that this point is not needed because the restore will leave the database operational if I mark the corresponding option)
Start Sap System and check that everything is OK inside.
Stop SAP system again
detach HRPNEW database
attach HRP original database
Start SAP system and check
FInally delete db files and log files from HRPNEW database.
What do you think?
Thank you very much in advance!
Regards

Thank you for your response.
But, is it needed if I´m restoring in the production server (same host name) the database with another name?
Or you meant to change the database name in anywhere?
Thanks
Regards!

Backup/restore tablespaces in noarchivelog mode

In our office there is a oracle 10g box that's used for testing purposes.
It's only got 1 database, but each user has their own tablespace.
As it's not a 'live' box, archivelog and flashrecovery have been disabled by the dba probably in favour of speed.
I have a NUnit test suit that runs across a tablespace, and I am trying to restore the tablespace before each run.
In noarchivelog mode, RMAN allows me to take the tablespace offline, and create a backup - so far so good.
Later on, I am able to take the tablespace offline again, and issue a "RESTORE TABLESPACE" command.
But then I cannot bring the tablespace online without issuing a "RECOVER" command.
I have tried the NOREDO option but it still says that the file needs a media recovery before it can be brought online.
Is there a way to bring the tablespace online without applying the REDO logs ?
Or is tablespace backup/restore not possible because of noarchivelog ?
Thanks.

I tried the TTS method, and it was only marginally quicker than a data_only impdp.
I suspect this is due to the nature of a fresh nunit test database, where the metadata (huge tables structure, stored proc, etc) is often larger than the table contents itself.
In the grand scheme of things it might even end up slower, as i need to drop the tablespace including contents if i want to use TTS to load up the backed up dbf.
From the comments I'm guessing that there's no way of just updating the timestamp of the tablespace without applying the REDO logs then ?
I've tested other methods as well.
Flash recovery could only work on a table or db level, I can't take the db offline as there are other users on it with their own tablespace/schemas. (it was an old dev's box, we're reusing what we can)
impdb with the truncate and data_only flag seems to be the only viable option so far, with TTS up for consideration.

Backup - restore and missing app

Hi,
I upgraded from IOS4 to IOS5 during this progress I was prompted "backup your Iphone?" yes to my Mac airbook external drive.
After upgrades I was missing all (notes,pictures adresser etc)
I tried to restore but Itunes only pop´s up an older backup.
Where can I find the newest backup?
secondly
I miss a App (100 dollar) where can I find this without repurchacing?
BR
Lieuwe

I had a 'glitch' during a power outage that required me to restore from the backup. The app folders appeared only where a website shortcut had been stored in the folder. After investigating what got restored and what didn't, I attempted a second restore from backup (no sync operation attempted). The results were the same. I'm actually glad the results were the same in some respects since it indicates a consistent (but incomplete) backup/restore operation. Note, even the folders that did get recreated (with website shortcuts) did not have their apps correctly restored, there appeared to be no pattern to what happen.
To the persons who did the 'double restore'; how many apps do you have on your iPhone?. Was it less than the iOS 3 limit of 180 (including Apple Apps)? I have about 300 apps which means they don't 'fit', without folders, within the 180 app limit. I'm thinking that the double backup worked since you had less than the 180 app limit, but I'm not sure without knowing the number of apps you have.
The unanswered question is: Does iTunes backup the app folder configuration and can it correctly restore the folder configuration (apps correctly placed in folders)? Since I had the glitch iTunes has been upgraded twice (if I recall). Did the upgrades fix the app folder issue? I don't really want to be the one to test this since it takes hours to rebuild the folder/app configuration.
Thanks for any help.

Single Tablespace Backup, Restore and Recovery

Hi Experts,
I need your kind help. Actually I want to take hot backup by RMAN for a particular TABLESPACE ..
I know this is possible. My question is when I restore a tablespace to any other test database
I need to create new database or I can restore it to any existing database? Just like adding new tablespace??
To recover this tablespace I need to archive log backup ?
How I can open the database on which I m going to restore/recover this particular tablespace ???
Regards,
Rizwan

You cannot copy a tablespace from one database to another using the normal Backup/Restore methods.
You have to use the TTS (Transportable Tablespace) methods.

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 loses "Groups" in "Contacts" - request for fix

Hi,
I am a new Blackberry user and have found that the Blackberry Link backup/restore functions fail to keep track of my Groups within my Contacts list. When I carry out a Restore all my Contacts are restored but all my Groups within Contacts disapperar (although the contacts within my Groups are still retained in my Contacts list).
Does anyone have a fix for this issue please?
I am using Link v 1.2.1 (build18) and BB release 10.2.1.2977 on my Z10.
I do not want to Sync my phone contacts with my Address Book on my Mac since I use them independently.
Thank you for your advice!!

Yeah, for some reason Groups are not restored. Syncing wouldn't work anyway since groups are not sync'd either.
I would suggest updating to the latest version of LInk which is 1.2.3.48. I haven't tested for the backup/restore of groups, though.
1. Please thank those who help you by clicking the "Like" button at the bottom of the post that helped you.
2. If your issue has been solved, please resolve it by marking the post "Solution?" which solved it for you!

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

Make a backup/restore of an user in Beehive

It it possible to make a backup/restore(mailbox) of an user in Beehive?

Hello Miguel,
Well, you need place for your backup - You can say me that you store them on tapes it's less expensive than on disk - that's right it's also less efficient and quick if you have to restore your environment. You can use a dev/test environment for that - no need to install the same hardware (cpu/mem) or the same architecture - you "just" need the same space disk -
Moreover, you will install only one the machine/os/rdbms and beehive as well as the local PC.
When an user delete a mail, it is still on the trash - so whatever the client used it can recover it from there. Just configure your client to avoid to empty the trash on exit.
There are other solutions, like set up a Data Guard and apply a delay on archivelog application - all is function of your retention policy and until when on the past you accept to recover an email
Not sure to follow you, when you say that storing the wastebasket on the server will reduce you the the probabilities of having to retrieve an email from the backup. Outlook and Zimbra have the same trash folder, so for example if I delete a mail on Outlook it goes on the trash. I can see it on Zimbra & on Outlook trash folder. Now if I purge my trash you won't be able to retrieve it neither on Outlook nor on Zimbra.
About your question on the Inconsistency of trash folder between Thunderbird and Zimbra, the trash folder is as far I know created by the client, and so stored locally. Outlook and Zimbra do not use IMAP to retrieve the messages but internal protocol, that's why they share their trash folder.
Recover email is definitively on the roadmap, - unfortunately I do not have date to share - as you can imagine many customers have the same request.
Regards,
Fred

Backup/Restore Coherence cache

Hi!
     Is there any existing solution to backup/restore a Coherence cache ?
     I'd like to store a snapshot of Coherence cache periodically. Unfortunately, I didn't see anything about that on the site. Does this exist or should I plan to develop a specific solution ?
     Thanks for your answer.

We are doing EHP4 installations for our live ECC6 (ABAP+Java) landscape. We wanted to achieve EHP4 installation more consistently and accurately in our test system first. We are performing system copy from our Production system (sapecp) to TEST system host (sapecb) using full file system backup and restore.
We have restored most recent full file system backup of our PRD(sapecp) on our TEST System (sapecb). Due to the different host name of test system we aslo finished the host renaming steps from note 8307 and 757692. Our DBAsu2019 also adjust the new
host name in Oracle after the file system restore. After this we are able to start SAP instance successfully on TEST system.
However we have noticed that configtool.sh is now showing two nodes automatically instead of a single node in both PRD and TEST systems.
Q: Is their anything else we still need to change in configtool.sh in our TEST system to remove references of PRD ?
Q: is this a normal behavior of configtool.sh after a file system backup and restore ?
Q: is their a way to clean up the configtool nodes in both system ?
Please advice if anyone has faced the similar issue ?
Thanks,
Harshal

Dear Reagan,
Infra team did only the Backup Restore of the Prod system and no Export Import of Prod using the sapinst.
Should I do the export import as it sounds by your and Pavan's reply that it might be required
We are doing Restore for Dual stack first time done the backup restore for ABAP stack a couple of times for ECC Quality refresh.
Should this be the option that I should select in sapinst for JAVA Export and JAVA Import:
JAVA Export
JAVA Import

Win 7 Backup/Restore Questions

I have questions about Windows 7 Backup & Restore. From everything I am reading, it would appear that the program performs as advertised, but some of the traits I am witnessing just don't make any sense to me, and when it comes to Backup/Restore
(B/R), things need to make sense.
Q1: I have a machine that is configured with three (3) accounts: one is a privileged account (admin), and the other two are normal non-privileged accounts (acct1 and acct2 for reference purposes). I perform the backup from the admin account, backing
up the entire machine (all accounts). The backup completes without error. If I then Restore Files to view what was saved, I am shown the admin account, and acct1 as available to restore. Acct2 is not visible! Why not? Am I not
allowed to restore this account as admin? If it is a permissions issue, then why can I see and select acct1? If I logout of admin and login to acct2, and run B/R from there, the admin and acct2 backups are visible, but not acct1. So I know
the data got backed up, but why am I not able to see all the backup accounts when running as admin? If I had a machine with 15 accounts, does this mean I would have to login to each account to restore its files when rebuilding after losing a drive?
Q2: Backups are tagged by date. If I run B/R daily, it appears that the backup is retagged with a date range. If I wait a number of days to perform the second backup, I may get a second backup entry with the new date. What algorithm is
being used to determine when to extend a backup, and when to create a new entry? Is there a trigger that I can use that will force the creation of new entry, and not extend an existing entry, or vice-versa?
Q3: Everything suggests that with multiple backups, the oldest backup represents a full set of files, and subsequent backups are incremental. Exactly what is meant by incremental. I would expect this to mean that any file that has not changed
since the last time it was backed up would not be part of a new backup. Or stated the other way, any file that has changed since the last time it was backed up would be part of the new incremental backup. If I have 4 backups, will B/R examine all
4 to determine whether a file needs to be included in the new incremental backup (I assume so)? If I have 15 backups will B/R examine all 15 to calculate the new incremental (I assume so)? If I decide to manage space and delete the oldest backup,
will a subsequent backup operation resave all my old files that have not changed since the first backup but are now missing from the backup set (I assume so)? If so, then any space gained by deleting the original backup will disappear after the new incremental
completes. Would it be better to delete only the older incremental backups to free up space?
Q4: If I were writing this program, I would expect that contained in each backup is an index to all the saved files along with their dates of existence. I would have to scan ALL backups to create an index of ALL files with their respective save dates.
I could then compare the current file path and date with the name and date in the archive to determine whether the current file needed to be included in the new incremental. If this is the case, is there some point where deleting some of the older backups
will improve the overall efficiency of the backup operation by reducing the number of backups that need to be scanned to build the current backup file list? If so, what is a good rule of thumb for the number of backups to retain to preserve program efficiency?

Hi,
First question, I'm sorry for never heard this problem, I would made a test in our test enviroment, After that, I would provide the result at here.
For other questions , I would like to suggest you read the link below for some details about system backup.

SAP ORACLE BACKUP RESTORE

Hi all,
+Please assist me with a guideline of carrying out a backup restore,this is to test and ensure that we can be able to restore the backup in the case of a disaster. we perform a Full backup daily and are using BRTOOLS.+
Thank you.
Regards,

Hi,
you need to do the following
1) Copy the log files of the backup date which u want to restore.
2) Create controlfile from production using command alter system backup controlfile to trace;
3) restore the backup on target system using brrestore command.( assumption here is your target system is already installed)
For more details you need to refer help.sap.com

Backup & Restore non-administrators Group Policy Settings

Hi,
I'm trying to setup a few reference images of Windows 7 which will be deployed to our client computers. The baseline Group Policies are configured through Local Group Policies set in the image. I've setup a Master GPO machine on which to build the policies
and test them.
The Local Group Policies have been set for Local Computer Configuration, Local User Configuration and for Local Non-Administrators Configuration. The thinking is that members of the local Administrators group on the computer are unrestricted and still have
the ability to do most things. Users which log onto the computer abide by the more restrictive Non-Administrators Group Policy settings.
Using the "LocalGPO.wsf" script I'm able to backup and restore Computer and User Configuration which affects all users of the machine but it does not backup the Non-Administrators Policies. Is this possible?
After some digging around in the "GPOPack.wsf" files I've found that the Machine & All Users Policies are restored by the "LocalPol.exe" file. This utility has command line switches for '-m' machine and '-u' user. So I'm guessing
that it's not possible to restore the Non-Administrators Policies?
For what it was worth I've tried copying the "Registry.pol" file from "%windir%\System32\GroupPolicyUsers\S-1-5-32-545\User" folder on the GPO Master machine and placed the file in the same location on target computer. A test which had
one value set worked on the reference computer but when the policies were copied form the GPO Master machine, the target computer ignored all the settings.
Any ideas how to backup/restore Local Machine Non-Administrator Group Polices?
Thanks!

Not entirely sure of the specific policies you're dealing with, but you would typically use the Microsoft Security Compliance Manager to create GPO packs that you would then apply using the Apply Local GPO Package task sequence step in MDT.
I'd encourage you to look over the Applying Group Policy Object Packs section of the
Using the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit.docx file in the MDT 2013 documentation for more details.
