Can't backup databases

I am trying to switch to a new device (9000) from my 8800. When I connect the 8800 there are only 3 databases 'visible' by the PC: Handheld agent and two others.The PC cannot 'see' any of the other databases such as the adress book and messages. At first I thought this was the software (desktop manager 4.6) but have connected both a 7230 and 9000 and there are tens of databases visible. It's almost asif something is blocking access to the data on the 8800. I would be grateful for any help. Thank you!

All of the MySQL databases are visable within the phpMyAdmin application. phpMyAdmin can export, import, manage the databases directly.
To use the remote replication feature from the GUI, you need the databases visible in a share. I'm sure that is possible through the CLI, but I'm not able to tell you how to do it. Maybe someone else on the forum can help provide a solution.
You can also use the rsync command in the CLI directly.
Did you find any ideas on the phpMyAdmin website? This must be a common task that someone has worked out a solution for.

Can't backup database in NOarchivelog mode

Hi there,
I get this error when I run this command from rman:

I altered it in archivelog mode.
Now I can run a backup database command from rman?What does it cost to try it and see? What would be the worst thing that could possibly happen? An error message saying you can't do that?
And please note, this forum is not a chat line. Operators are NOT standing by. Posting a new message every two minutes to give an update on the fact that the database hasn't shut down yet is not necessary and not productive.
If there are a lot of pending transactions when you issue SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE, they will all have to be rolled back as part of the shutdown. That can take some time. And if you bypass that with SHUTDOWN ABORT, they will have to be rolled back as part of instance crash recovery on the next startup, which will also take some time. Five minutes may feel like an eternity when you are sitting there waiting for your command to complete, but is no reason to panic.

Hi
Run commands:

After deleting expired archivelogs, backup is working fine...
RMAN>delete noprompt expired archivelog all;

Actually, what is doing while issuing "crosscheck archivelog all" command????
thanks

Can cold backup be taken for ASM managed oracle 10g databases

Can cold backup be taken for ASM managed oracle 10g databases
Pls help

do we still need to take cold backupYou need to take backup. Hot or cold depends on how your DB is running (archivelog or not).
Will we have file permisions for copyng Use RMAN and don't worry about that.

RMAN Can't Backup 11g Database

I'm using Oracle 11.2.0.1 Enterprise Edition and I've enabled my DBMS to run in ARCHIVELOG mode as shown below:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options
SQL> archive log list;
Database log mode     Archive Mode
Automatic archival     Enabled
Archive destination     USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST
Oldest online log sequence 1614
Next log sequence to archive 1616
Current log sequence     1616
So now that I have my DBMS running in ARCHIVELOG mode, I've also configured my (FRA) or 'Fast Recovery Area' as shown below:
SQL> show parameter recovery_file_dest;
NAME                    TYPE     VALUE
db_recovery_file_dest          string     /oracle/u01/app/oracle/backup
db_recovery_file_dest_size     big integer 10G
Now I know I need to backup a few things in order to make sure I can recover from a complete disaster but what those items are, I'm still very unclear. Does anyone have a command that now will allow me to backup the entire database and everything I would possible need to either rebuild this database on another machine or from scratch? Can anyone please explain what I need and what exactly the file does and why I need it? For example...
connected to target database: CQDB (DBID=1854033249)
RMAN> BACKUP database PLUS archivelog delete input;
database = ?
archivelog = ?
delete input = ?
How do I get the redo logs, control file, and spfile? Do I need those to recover every time I do a backup or just one a month is fine?

Hello again
---FRA---( sorry I missed part of this )----------------------------------------
If you have free space :
PRIMARY >sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
SQL> show parameter db_recovery_file_dest_size
SQL> alter system set db_recovery_file_dest_size=22G scope=both;
So if you have free space add a few GB to get you by.
The check you FRA space using
SQL> set linesize 200
SQL> column FILE_TYPE format a20
SQL> select * from v$flash_recovery_area_usage;
This should show the breakdown in FRA, assuming most of the space is ARCHIVE and backup the script below
will handle them first in - first out
Look around and see if there's an RMAN scipt about and if it uses a CATALOG.
---FRA--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can CDC enabled database DIFF backups be RESTORED while maintaining the CDC integrity?

We tried restoring FULL + subsequent DIFF backups of a CDC enabled database to a different SQL server and found that the CDC integrity is not being maintained. We did RESTORE the databases with the KEEP_CDC option.
Can someone please guide us on how to successfully restore the CDC enabled database backups(FULL + DIFF) while maintaining the CDC integrity?
Note: SQL Server Version: SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU2

Hi YoungBreeze,
Based on your description, I make a test on my computer.
Firstly, I create a database named ‘sqldbpool’ , then enable the
Change Data Capture (CDC) feature and take full+ differential backups of the database. Below are the scripts I used.
-- Create database sqldbpool
CREATE DATABASE [sqldbpool] ON PRIMARY
( NAME = N'SQLDBPool', FILENAME = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\SQLDBPool.mdf' , SIZE = 5120KB ,
MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED, FILEGROWTH = 1024KB )
LOG ON
( NAME = N'SQLDBPool_log', FILENAME = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\SQLDBPool_log.LDF' , SIZE = 3840KB ,
MAXSIZE = 2048GB , FILEGROWTH = 10%)
GO
use sqldbpool;
go
-- creating table
create table Customer
custID int constraint PK_Employee primary key Identity(1,1)
,custName varchar(20)
--Enabling CDC on SQLDBPool database
USE SQLDBPool
GO
EXEC sys.sp_cdc_enable_db
--Enabling CDC on Customer table
USE SQLDBPool
GO
EXEC sys.sp_cdc_enable_table
@source_schema = N'dbo',
@source_name = N'Customer',
@role_name = NULL
GO
--Inserting values in customer table
insert into Customer values('jugal'),('shah')
-- Querying CDC table to get the changes
select * from cdc.dbo_customer_CT
--Taking full database backup
backup database sqldbpool to disk = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Backup\sqldbpool.bak'
insert into Customer values('111'),('222')
-- Querying CDC table to get the changes
select * from cdc.dbo_customer_CT
--Taking differential database backup
BACKUP DATABASE sqldbpool TO DISK = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Backup\sqldbpooldif.bak' WITH DIFFERENTIAL
GO
Secondly, I restore the ‘sqldbpool’ database in a different SQL Server instance with the following scripts. After the restoration, everything works as expected and the database maintains the CDC integrity.
Use master
Go
--restore full database backup
restore database sqldbpool from disk = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Backup\sqldbpool.bak' with keep_cdc
Restore Database sqldbpool From Disk = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Backup\sqldbpool.bak'
With Move 'SQLDBPool' To 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\SQLDBPool.mdf',
Move 'SQLDBPool_log' To 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\SQLDBPool_log.LDF',
Replace,
NoRecovery;
Go
--restore differential database backup
restore database sqldbpool from disk = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Backup\sqldbpooldif.bak' with keep_cdc
--add the Capture and Cleanup jobs
Use sqldbpool
exec sys.sp_cdc_add_job 'capture'
GO
exec sys.sp_cdc_add_job 'cleanup'
GO
insert into Customer values('TEST'),('TEST1')
-- Querying CDC table to get the changes
select * from cdc.dbo_customer_CT
When we restore a CDC enabled database, we need to note that the CDC feature is available only on the Enterprise, Developer, and Evaluation editions of SQL Server. And we need to add the Capture and Cleanup agent jobs after restoring the database.
For more details about restoring a CDC enabled database in SQL Server, you can review the following similar articles.

My Catalog - "Can't open Database" error

After being able to open Photoshop Album Starter Edition successfully and without incident several months ago, one day I received this error:
"Problem opening the Catalog named "My Catalog". Another user or application may have the catalog open, or one or more files may be missing, out of date, or damaged. [Microsoft] [ODBC Microsoft Access 97 Driver] can't open database 'unknown'. It may not be a database that your application recognizes or the file may be corrupt. Attempt to compact and recover this catalog then try again? - OK or Cancel"
If I choose OK, then I get another error:
"Catalog Recovery Incomplete - A problem was encountered during catalog recovery. Your catalog may be ok, but if you experience problems with it that can't be resolved through the Reover Catalog option or restarting your computer system you may need to restore this catalog from a backup. - OK"
That goes to a 3rd error message:
"Unable to open "My Catalog because it is damaged. Please choose: Open existing or Create a new catalog named My Catalog-1.psa"
If I choose existing, it goes to the folder where My Catalog is stored, I can click it, and then I receive the first message. If I choose create a new catalog, it does, then gives me the first error message. PSA SE never opens, but the photo downloader appears in my Task bar Notification area, and I can Launch, Enable/Disable or Exit that program. If I try to acquire a photo, I end up with the same first error message.
I've seen the other threads that address what may be close to this issue, and I've done all the fixes suggested, short of reinstalling WindowsXP, which I'd rather avoid, but I've had no luck - I still get the exact same error messages.
I am using Office 97, including Access, Word, Excel, etc. but I'm not having any issues with those. I'm also using Pagemaker 7.0 and no issues there related to a catalog or database. I did have at one time a trial copy of Illustrator, and this problem started occurring after that trial was expired. I've since uninstalled Illustrator, done all the fixes suggested here, deleted the My Catalog files, restarted, uninstalled and re-installed PSA SE3.2, and still it cannot 'see' My Catalog.
Any other suggestions (besides upgrading to Office-this decade, which I would love, but employer hasn't made that leap yet.)? TIA
Tracey

No, no multiple users on this machine, or on that application. Both are located on the C: drive of a computer with intranet and internet access.
Could it have anything to do with the application Microsoft Access? [Microsoft ODBC Access97 driver] is named in the first error message. Access97 was always on this computer, but it wasn't actually put into use until about 6-8 months ago, and it was sometime after I started using it that I could no longer open PSA-SE. Connection? Fixable?

Hemant K Chitale
I've wondered about the utility of the FROM and UNTIL options for backup of archivelogs. If one is going to back them up, why would one use an option that distinctly introduces the possibility of having gaps - un-backed-up archivelogs? Why would one not simply back up all archives not previously backed up at least once?
I'm sure you'll give me a valid response for a situation for which my imagination fails to see.

How can i backup itunes my library?

I don't use "itunes music" folder,my musics are stored in several folders of two disks,i add the folders separatedly, i want to use itunes to manage all the music i've added,and create many playlists in itunes,add many information related to the songs,for example,the picture of album,the id3,and also use itunes to rate the songs,so i want use itunes do all the things of managing songs.
but before do that all above,one thing need to be solved,how can i backup all the things i do.if my system break down,how can i recover the itunes library,recover all the rate i've done,all the information i've collected,all the playlists i've made?
now i use wmp,if that unfortunate things happend,after i reinstall my system,i use the disktool to let the disk id same as before,and copy the database of wmp in my new system,and i would get all what i've down,no different with before, what to do with itunes?
wait and thanks anybody that reply to me ^_^

Well....You can Use iTunes for Backing up your Music, but I do not favor this mehtod.
It works fine for music files BUT: I prefer more control and completeness over my backup process. It is also very important to note that a large limitation of using iTunes to manage the backup is that the iTunes method does not create or maintain backups of the two meta-data files (iTunes Library.itl & iTunes Music Library.xml) where your Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, etc. are stored. See: What are the iTunes Library files?
If you are heavily invested in your Library data (Playlists, Play Counts, Ratings, Last Played, Date Added, etc.), it is crucial that you also make and archive multiple backups of your ‘iTunes Library.itl’ file.
If your music is located under one common Folder (e.g.-‘iTunes’), then it is easiest to physically copy that folder and all its sub-folders in one simple process. It can be done quickly, and incrementally – several times a day, when necessary. In the case of any data loss, just re-copy your entire (or partial) music library back to wherever it was, placing it in the main Folder that the previous iTunes expected. Along with the ‘iTunes Library.itl’ metadata file, this completes a full ‘restore’ of your music to the time of your last backup.
Use of a backup software program will greatly help. It will allow you to easily perform incremental backups of only the files that have changed. WinXP has such a facility built-in. I use a free program called FileSync ( http://www.fileware.com ). There are many out there. Some use Zipped files or proprietary formats, others use standard file formats. I like FileSync as it uses normal file formats that can be viewed/managed via any Windows program or utility.
iTunes Files to Backup
1) All music files in their current folder structure (usually located in and under the ‘iTunes Music’ folder)
2) The Library database file: ‘iTunes Library.itl’ located in the ‘iTunes’ folder
3) The Library XML file: ‘iTunes Music Library.xml’ located in the ‘iTunes’ folder
4) Any XML playlist files you created for Playlist retention
5) The two iTunes.pref files (optional)
-- C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
-- C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer Inc\iTunes.pref
Here's a list of possible ways to copy your music files from your main iTunes computer to another storage medium for backup purposes.
1) Use an External Hard Drive to store the complete iTunes meta-data files and underlying Music Folder structure and songs from your main computer. They are quite cheap now, for their storage volume. This is my preferred main medium.
2) If you have Two Computers:
2a) Connect them through a router
2b) Connect them using a Direct (w/Mac) or Crossover (PC/PC) Ethernet cable (See: http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3001.html)
2c) Connect them via a USB-to-USB Network Bridge. See: here as an example.
Copy the files and folders from one computer to the other. Use the second PC as your backup repository.
3) Burn several DVDs (at 4.7+ GBs each) with the music data files and store them safely. Re-writable ones are good for backup purposes (if your DVD drive can manage these).
4) Burn 6x more on CDs (at 700MB each) than in #3 above and store them safely in more space Re-writable ones are good for backup purposes (if your CD drive can manage these).
5) Use a larger USB Flash drive (1GB – 4+GBs) to store the files only if you have a small amount ripped music or have multiple and/or jumbo USB drives at your disposal that will fit your music library.
6) Use the Second Internal Hard Drive (if available) of your PC -- not optimum, as you really want to physically separate the storage of backups from the originals, but good as a tertiary storage device.
By keeping only one copy of your music (other than on the iPod), you are not truly 'backed-up' and are running a high risk of losing your music. Music files on just the iPod and the computer is not considered having any backup. If you cannot store your complete music files on the computer’s internal HD, then create and maintain at least two external sets (any multiple combinations of ExHDs, DVDs, CDs).
You need at least two full sets of your music, not including what is on the iPod:
-- One full set on the PC within iTunes (on internal HD or ExHD)
-- One full set on an separate external backup medium (CD/DVD/ExHD/other)
-- One (full or partial) set on the iPod
It is a good policy to backup all your important data. It is a very smart policy to back it up on more than one medium.
External hard drives now run less than $100 for 200-250GBs of storage. Very cheap backup insurance, indeed. See This Link

Backup Database Task - User Permissions

Hi
I am currently implementing an SSIS package to cater for the backup of our database system. I am using a Back Up Database Task connecting to the database using SQL Authentication. This login has public server rights and db_backupoperator database
role rights.
Having tested the package, it seems to fail on the backup task because of the following error:
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "BACKUP DATABASE [CAAP] TO DISK = N'R:\CAAP_Backup..." failed with the following error: "Only users who are members of the following roles can perform this operation: sysadmin fixed server
role; dbowner or dbcreator fixed database role in the current database.
Only users who are members of the following roles can perform this operation: sysadmin fixed server role; dbowner or dbcreator fixed database role in the current database.
Why does it need dbOwner/dbCreator/sysadmin rights to execute a simple backup? Isn't this the point of the dbBackupOperator role?
Thanks.

Hi divvyboy,
I am unable to reproduce the issue in my test environment. The backup script works well in an Execute SQL Task which uses the ADO .NET Connection Manager created by a Back Up Database Task using SQL Server authentication type. Only the Public and db_backupoperator
database roles is okay.
According to the screenshots, the error was thrown by the Execute SQL Task actually. Since the package also contains a Back Up Database Task, there is no need to perform the backup operation from the Execute SQL Task. You can test whether the Back Up Database
Task which doesn’t need us to input a backup script can perform the database backup correctly. If the Back Up Database Task works well, you can remove the Execute SQL Task and go with the Back Up Database Task.

How to use the backup database to create report or update testing

Hi,
I have a fully backup of production database in the last month, and I have using Oracle 8.1.7. I want to known how can I use
this backup to generate a new instance so that I can reproduct some report from the last month data or doing some update testing
from the backup database with the both production instance and last month instance is opened at the same time. I have tried to
create a new instance by using the oradim and startup the new sid with mount option and then use the alter database function
to change the datafile name to the new directory. After this i also create the local service name and change to listerner. I can
startup the new instance but when i start the production database. I got the error that I can open the database with exclusive.
I do this in Oracle 7.3.4 and it works. But how can i setting it in Oracle 8.1.7. Anyone can help me and many thanks.

Hi,
Create the Second instance thro' Database Configuration Assistant, and Replace with Back up files.Now you can run two instances at parallel.

Backup database using RMAN

Hi,
I wanted to perform the first backup with RMAN and I used this command and I got error:
RMAN> BACKUP AS COPY DATABASE;
"can not backup or copy active file in noarchivelog mode".
But in order to turn on the log_mode to ARCHIVELOG, first I need to do shutdown the db and perform the backup. Right?
So how can I get my first backup using RMAN if the log mode is in NOARCHIVELOG mode?
I also performed this command successfully...
RMAN> configure controlfile autobackup on;
new RMAN configuration parameter are successfully stored...
but I'm not sure the controlfiles are being backed up. How can I verify this and where I can find the controlfile backup file?
Thanks,

So how can I get my first backup using RMAN if the log mode is in NOARCHIVELOG mode?You can do RMAN backups with DB in NOARCHIVELOG mode, but the DB must be MOUNTED and not OPEN. You can do something like the following :

BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP DATABASE. Check the backup application log for detailed messages.

Hi,
We have a back up that is failing.
The error is "BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP DATABASE RPS. Check the backup application log for detailed messages.".
As I understand it the backup application log is at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\MSSQL\LOG. From that all I get is
2014-03-05 14:49:29.41 Backup Error: 3041, Severity: 16, State: 1.
2014-03-05 14:49:29.41 Backup BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP DATABASE myDb. Check the backup application log for detailed messages.
The command I am using is
BACKUP DATABASE [MyDb]
TO DISK = N'D:\Domains\SQL_Backup\DB\myDb\Mydb_FullBackup_20140305_1100.bak'
WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'mydb-Full Database Backup', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
GO
The database is Microsoft SQL Server Standard Edition (64-bit) Version 9.00.1399.06.
The computer is Windows server 2003 R2 Standard Edition SP2
The Db is 191 Gb and there is 227 Gb available on the D drive where it's being backed up to.
Any thoughts as to how I can track down the problem.
Is the 227Gb of spare disk space big enough to back up a 191 Gb database?
If not how much is needed?
Thanks

Hello,
Can you apply latest service pack .I dont know but guess that can be issue.Once faced ,not quite sure.Also can you just make your command like
BACKUP DATABASE [MyDb]
TO DISK = 'D:\Domains\SQL_Backup\DB\myDb\Mydb_FullBackup_20140305_1100.bak'
WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT, STATS = 10
GO
Just a simple one .Is backup failing immediately or after some time .Error is not so helpful as it does not shows any information

Unkown log mode : SP2-0640
Log file is at SP2-0640Hi Simon,
I tryed to investigate this case and here is a result:
If Windows user which trying to start backup is not member of the ORA_DBA user group, I'm getting on XP-box your error (above). After putting user in ORA_DBA group backup worked properly.
Cheers!
