Backups of system databases

can anyone elaborate on the risks associated with not backing up default MSSQL system databases (i.e. master, msdb) etc. When would you need to restore data from those databases? What kind of data do they hold? How often do you back them up?

System databases are the core of your SQL Server. Assume a disaster happens, and you lose your system. If you want your system back you need System Databases.
A corruption to your SQL server can cause at any time, if you need your whole system then system databases are required.
Assume you have all your user databases backup after a disaster/corruption and you manage to restore them to a different system, but still you wont be able to login to servers, all your jobs would be lost etc.
You need to backup those as a minimum when you have changes made to the system, eg Any configuration change, Any settings change, Any job created/updated/deleted, any new login created/updated/deleted.
Ideally as these are very small databases once you should not have much issues backing it up. On a safer side a week once would be enough, but as I said, if there is a major change which impact system databases I would back it up.
Read this http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/ms178028.aspx to get an understanding about different system databases.

System database Backups

Should I backup my system databases?

The answer is "yes" for master, model and msdb.
The answer is "no" for tempdb and the resource database.
I usually do my system databases daily, same job as the other databases' full backup.

How to take a Hot backup of Oracle database

1: put the db in archive log mode
2: set the db_sid to correct one
3: login to sqlplus
4: verify the name of the db that you are connected to
select name from v$database;
5: check if the db is in archive log made
select log_mode from v$database;
if not in archive log mode
another command to check
archive log list;
6: find where on disk oracle writes archive log when it is in archive log mode
sql> show parameter log_archive_dest_1;
if the value is found to be 0, that means no values will be recorded, so we need to change it
sql> alter system set log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=c:\database\oradata\finance\archived_logs\'
scope=spfile;
7: shutdown immediate; < this is done just to prepare the db for hot backups >
8: startup the db in mount mode
startup mount;
( 3 startup types : nomount - just starts the instance, mount - locates the control files and open up according to the values, open - finds the datafiles from the control files and opens up the db )
9: put the db in archive log mode
alter database archivelog;
10: open the database
alter database open;
11: check the status of the db
select log_mode from v$database;
SQL> archive log list;
12: create a directory for archived log
check if its empty, if empty we need to switch
sql> alter system archive log current;
run it 5 times < need to put / and enter > , then check the archive log dir , we will find files
13: make a table in the database and insert data in it
create table employees (fname varchar(2));
check the table
desc employees;
insert values
insert into employees values ('Mica');
14: tablespace must be in hot backup mode
check the status
select * from v$backup;
if found not active, then we need to change
we cannot put the db in hot backup mode, unless it is archive log mode
change to hot backup mode
alter database begin backup;
check the status
select * from v$backup;
15: now we can only COPY DBF FILES
copy *dbf <distination location>
16: need to take the db out to hot backup mode
alter database end backup;
17: need to make another archive log switch
alter system archive log current;
18: need to copy control files now, need to do a binary bckup
alter database backup controlfile to '<location>\controlbackup';
19: insert more values to the table
insert into employess values ('NASH')
COMMIT;
make another archive log switch : alter system archive log current;
do the same process for more values
20 : backup all the archive logs to a new location
21: shutdown the db and simulate a hw error, delete all the files from the database folder
22: try to start the sqlplus and db ::: error
23: copy all the backups to the db dir
need to copy the control files, rename the binary backup of the control file and make the copies as needed
24: try to mount the db, error < must use reset logs or noreset logs >
25: need to do a recovering of the database
shutdown
restore the archive logs
startup mount;
recover database until cancel using backup controlfile;
it will ask for a log file :
yes for recovery
cancel for cancelling recovery
26: check status: open the database in readonly
alter database open read only;
check the tables to see the data
shutdown immediate
shartup mount;
recover again : recover database until cancel using backup controlfile;
if oracle is asking for a log that do nto exist , all we have to do is type cancel
27: open the database
alter database open;
need to do reset logs
alter database open resetlogs;
28: check the db that you are connected, check the tables

A very long list ... let me make it shorter.
SQL> archive log list;If I see this:
Database log mode No Archive ModeI put the database into archivelog mode and leave it there forever.
If it is in archivelog mode:
RMAN> TARGET SYS/<password>@<service_name> NOCATALOG
RMAN> BACKUP DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG;Though there are a lot of things one could do better such as incrementals with block change tracking, creating an RMAN catalog, etc.

Windows 7 Backup "The System cannot find the path specified" - Error Code 0x80070003

I'm having severe problems backing up my own machine to a share on our
FILE-SERVER as \\FILE-SERVER\Backup\
I have already backed up another PC successfully using exactly the same settings I have used on my own PC. So I presume it is nothing to do with the
FILE-SERVER or the Backup settings. It has to be something to do with what I'm trying to backup from my machine.
First some background.
This exercise all began when the Windows Server 2008 r2
O/S fell over on one of our Servers. I tried reinstalling the O/S several times, without success. In the end I grabbed another drive and re-built the O/S. I then had problems promoting it to a Domain Controller on the network.
In the end I renamed the Server from FILESERVER
to FILE-SERVER.
We routinely share four folders on what is now
FILE-SERVER:
\\FILE-SERVER\Backup
- a Folder where backups from all other machines are written, so that they will be backed up with the Server
\\FILE-SERVER\Company
- holds all our Company data
\\FILE-SERVER\GEM
- this is the application folder for our own database
\\FILE-SERVER\Install
- holds all Install files for the software we use
These are all held on a RAID 1 Array that is separate from the System Disk that fell over.
Prior to the Server falling over, I had Backup working fine on my machine.
On my Notebook PC I had made these shared folders 'Available Offline', so that I still had everything available to me when I was out of the office. They were
of course shared as \\FILESERVER\... not \\FILE-SERVER\...
Having got the Server up and going again, I began to get the Backups from the Windows 7 Client PC's going again.
I started with a Desktop, which of course did not have any Offline Files.
That proved relatively straight-forward.
I then started with my machine. Initially I did not make the above shared folders 'Available Offline'. I set up my Backup using exactly the same settings that
had worked OK on the desktop machine. But when I ran the backup I got:
The System cannot find the path specified, Error Code 0x80070003
I tried all sorts of things to get it to work:
I restored the system to the earliest point possible,
I ran chkdsk,
I defragged the drive
All to no avail, so I tried backing up:
with and without a system image,
reducing the backup to a single folder,
a single Folder with only one .txt file in it,
making the Folders 'Available Offline' again.
Nothing made any difference.
In the end I looked in the Sync Center to look at the Offline Files Folder.
Under Mapped Network Drives I discovered I still had the Files and Folders from
\\FILESERVER. In their Shortcut Menu 'Always Available Offline' was greyed out. So I deleted the Offline Copies. This deleted the Files in the Folders but not the Folders.
Since I could find no way of deleting the old Mapped Network Drives, I decided I'd painted myself into a corner by renaming the Server.
So I bit the bullet and re-installed my Notebook too. This did get rid of the unwanted old Mapped Network Drives - BUT NOT THE ERROR!!
I’ve been through all the troubleshooting procedures in:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/629597bb-7be0-455c-b81e-a149472d3f9b/windows-7-backup-the-system-cannot-find-the-path-specified-error-0x80070003?forum=w7itprogeneral
Method 1
It had none of the symptoms reported in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/973455
but I scanned for ‘reparse’ points anyway. Found several “Junction Points” but none that were “Mounted Volumes”, just ordinary ‘File Folders’.
Method 2
Check a drive for errors.
Looked at:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Check-a-drive-for-errors
Checked
both boxes. I closed machine down, to check for errors when it re-started.
It didn’t seem to find anything.
I say seem, because I did not actually see it finishing checking the empty space, but stages 1-4 found no problems and Windows 7 restarted normally.
It did detect 66 ‘Reparse’ Points, which is more than it found when I scanned for them earlier.
Method 3
Yes, I am an administrator or my own machine and, as such, I have ‘Full Access’.
I downloaded an ran the Process Monitor, filtering for Process Name “Wbengine.exe”, but did dot get a single event.
So I’m not sure what’s going on.
HELP - I'm out of ideas!
I have a WORD Document that documents all the Settings I've used on both the Server and the Clients, together with the reasoning behind those settings, but
I cannot find a way of uploading it.

I am having the exact same problem with Windows 7 Professional. Out of the blue, this issue just started a few months ago when running my monthly Windows Backup where I have used a USB drive for the last 3 years, and never ever had this issue before. Most
of the solutions listed on the Microsoft websites and answers deal with
"Restore" functions, not the
"Backup" itself. I have 3 folders being skipped during the backup.
So I went and changed the Backup from "let Microsoft choose files, directories, etc" to "Let me choose". I included the files and folders that were being skipped, and ran the "Backup" again, and got the same error message,
but the files that were skipped the first time were "Backed up" finally. This issue is somehow related to my "Libraries"?
The 3 backup problems are:
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book Recordings. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book CD Label-Cover Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book MP3 Tag Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
Did a "checkdisk" - no problems. Ran a program to fix registry - no problems. All updates up to date. I guess I could eliminate these folders from the Backup folders in the
Library, and just choose them under the "Users" locations, and be done with it. But I really want to understand this, and fix it. This is within Windows 7 and may be related to Windows Media Player or
some recent Windows update. Thanks.

Rman backup with standby database

Hi All,
I am looking for some suggestions for rman backup with standby database with datagaurd but no active DG. I wanted to do a rman tablespace backup. but I am stuck at sql 'alter system archive log current' in rman with standby as target. which gives following errors with or without noswitch clause

Howto make a consistent RMAN backup in an Standby database in Active DataGuard mode (Doc ID 1419923.1)

Consistent Backup Of Online Database

Hi
How can I take consistent backup of online database.
If I open database in read only mode and take RMAN backup + Full Cold Backup from operating system commands.
Did the above backups will be consistent?
If yes please advise how to alter the status of system to read only.
Wishes
Jawad

Cold backups are known to be a consistent backups , while Hot Backups are not considerd as conssistent backups, you required archivelogs to make them consistent . I am bit strange that you are using two backup methods . I would suggest you to use Hot Backups , if you have production database , otherwise cold backups will do the trick for you .

SQL2012 System Databases Restore on a different environment

So While I was playing around I wondered if it was possible for me to setup a similar version of SQL 2012 on a different environment and restore it quickly.
Master Env
SQL 2012 - 3 databases , 2 SSIS packages , 2 Sql Agent jobs and 1 report.
The idea would be to copy this on another Server altogether.
Slave Env
So the first thing I thought was the system database should go across before all else. Now it states that both versions have to be the same which I confirmed using;
Use Master
Go
SELECT
SERVERPROPERTY
('ProductVersion
')ASProductVersion,
SERVERPROPERTY
('ProductLevel')ASProductLevel,
SERVERPROPERTY
('ResourceVersion')ASResourceVersion,
SERVERPROPERTY
('ResourceLastUpdateDateTime')ASResourceLastUpdateDateTime,
SERVERPROPERTY
('Collation')ASCollation;
Both showing the same.    Having backed up both system databases on both sides the restoring of the model and msdb databases where straight forward.
The master was a different ball game and is one I still cant get past
1. Stopped the SQL SERVER on the Slave Env
2. Open Command shell
3. Net Start MSSQLServer /m”SQLCMD”
4. sqlcmd -S. -E
5. RESTORE DATABASE master FROM DISK = 'D:\SQL\Backups\master.bak' WITH REPLACE
Go
what this will do is restore the master database from the live to the slave and this is where the problems begin because once you do that restart the SQL server and get out of single user mode you cant logon .
Question
Assuming the Master has different windows logons to the Slave is there any way once this restore has been done to negate this or do you create a user straight after the restore?
Also with ReportingServices and Integrated Services are they straight forward Db restores ?
Any Help one this would be great!!
As I really want to know how quickly I can jump from one environment to another.

Not very simple. Requires DBA skills.
The standby (secondary) server usually refreshed through database mirroring or log shipping.
BOL: " About Log Shipping (SQL Server)
SQL Server Log shipping allows you to automatically send transaction log backups from a primary database on a primary server instance to one or more secondary databases on separate secondary server instances. The transaction log backups are
applied to each of the secondary databases individually. An optional third server instance, known as the monitor server, records the history and status of backup and restore operations and, optionally, raises alerts if these operations fail to occur as scheduled.
Benefits
•Provides a disaster-recovery solution for a single primary database and one or more secondary databases, each on a separate instance of SQL Server.
•Supports limited read-only access to secondary databases (during the interval between restore jobs).
•Allows a user-specified delay between when the primary server backs up the log of the primary database and when the secondary servers must restore (apply) the log backup. A longer delay can be useful, for example, if data is accidentally changed on the
primary database. If the accidental change is noticed quickly, a delay can let you retrieve still unchanged data from a secondary database before the change is reflected there. "

What commands used for taking backup of oracle database using BR*Tools

Can somebody please help me urgently to know what are the commands used for taking backup of oracle database using BR TOOLS.Also specifythe commands in detail which can be used for taking backups of oracle database ,Online Redo log files in databse using BRBACK tool,Archiving of offline, redo log files using BRARCHIVE, and Restoring a Database using BRRESTORE tool Commands(Plese specify the commands with their Syntax used).Also specify the commands with their Syntax which are used for taking backup of oracle database(online,Offline redo log files) into Tapedrives using BRTOOLS commands.
Thanking You for helping (in advance).

Dear Ashish,
BRBACKUP / BRARCHIVE calls the operating system command to copy the files.
Simple approach to get the commands is as follows.
1. Set the BR_TRACE (as given in the SAP note 29321) and run the command for which you need to know the OS / SQL commands.
2. This will generate the log file with the trace information. This trace has the information of the commands used by the job you have run.
Hope this helps.

After Restoring/Backup File System XI Java Instances are not up!

Hello all,
We are facing problem in restoring the SAP XI System, after taking backup of the system the java instances in SAP XI System are not starting again. ABAP connections are fine.
Can anyone provide suggestions/solutions in order to restore the XI System back.
The system information is as follows.
System Component: SAP NetWeaver 2004s, PI 7.0
Operating System: SunOS 5.9, SunOS 5.10
Database: ORACLE 9.2.0.
Regards,
Ketan Patel

I would correct Oracle version is 10.2.0
I would also like to reframe my problem.
XI server(both abap and Web) was working fine. Every weekend we take full backup(file system+DB)(UFS) of server. After taking backup server got up and we were able to login through abap but java web page was not openning. We did some troubleshooting it didn't work and finaly we restored the backup and somehow it worked. Next week after backup again same problem arose. We again restored latest backup but this time problem still exists.

RESTORE BACKUP IN ANOTHER DATABASE

Hi,
I used RMAN to make a full backup of the a database production. Now, I need recovery this same backup in another database from test. It is in another machine. How can I do it?
My work so far:
- I copy de backups files to another machine, with another database which was installed a same version of the Oracle Database 10g.
- I put the test database to run in archivelog mode
And now?
Sorry my english.
Thanks

I create the dir "/u03/admin/integra/flash_recovery_area" in the AUXILIARY database
and mount - with NFS - where the backupset were in the PRODUCTION database.
1 - The share it´s work fine.
2 - The RMAN backup it´s work fine.
3 - The restore to another database "IN DIFERENT MACHINE" dont´s work.
I am certain of that the file of backupset exists.

How to restore system databases?

If SQL server system databases crash, what will happen?
If sql server system databases crash, how to fix the issue? Any difference to fix for master, msdb,model temp and distribute?
Thanks

There would be various situation after "crash".
If Master database has corruption after unexpected failure then SQL Service won't start. Only option would have is to rebuild system databases and follow the article given by others to restore system databases.
If SQL Service is able to start and reports corruption in model database then there are two ways to fix it.
Get MDF and LDF file of model from other SQL Instance which has EXACTLY same build and replace the files.
If you have important data in model database, then you would need to restore. Follow the links given by other
TempDB database is not eligible for backup and restore.
MSDB database can be restored if SQL is running.
Distribution database can be restored when SQL is running. Provided no one accessing it.

How can i do a RMAN backup of my database from the network ?

i'm using oracle 8i.1.7.3 with win server 2003
i want to know how can i do a RMAN backup of my database (sever machine A) from the network.
i'd like to save the backup in another machine (the same LAN, the same OS ).
to do that i've mapped a logical device in my comptur (z):
when i run rman command i got this error:
channel ORA_DISK_1: starting piece 1 at .......
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03009: failure of backup command ON ORA_DISK_1 channel at .......
00
ORA-19504: failed TO CREATE file "\\remote\save\"
ORA-27040: skgfrcre: create error, unable to create file
OSD-04002: unable to open file
O/S-Error: (OS 123) The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is inco
rrect.

Hi,
ORA-19504: failed TO CREATE file "\\remote\save\"make sure you have created this directory and change it's ownership (chown command)to oracle.
also make sure that oracle user has permission to write to this direcotry (chmod command)
hope this helps
cheers, walrus

Backup of mirrored database is not possible?

Hi Please correct me,
backup of mirror database is not possible right?
Thanks
Shashikala
Shashikala

Hi Shashikala,
While a database mirroring session is active, the mirror database is in a recovering state and it is not accessible. Thus as Ashwin’s post, backup and restore of the mirror database is not allowed. In addition, you need to note the following things:
•Backup of the principal database is allowed, but BACKUP LOG WITH NORECOVERY is not allowed.
•Restoring the principal database is not allowed.
For more information, you can review this article:
Database Mirroring and Backup and Restore.
Thanks,
Lydia Zhang

[Oracle 11G XE and Apex 4.2 ] Backup from System "A", restored in System "B" wont work.

***Backup from System A, restored in System B wont work.***
Hi!

System OS: Win7 Ult 64bit.
1. Installed Oracle 11g XE
2. Installed Java JRE-7 (1.7.0_40)
3. Installed Java Glassfish Server 3.1.2.2 (ogs-3.1.2.2-windows.exe) (Java EE6 Compatible)
4. Run Restore, Succefully Restored. (the Backup is taken from System "A" that worked properly with Apex 4.2 before hardware crash.)
The Result
http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4950
Error Error processing request.
ORA-01403: no data found
OK <-( Button )
