We are not using RMAN So what is preventing you from starting? The real value of rman will be when you have to recover, it will already know where all the necessary peices are and what needs to be done. Plus, it will take care of the housekeeping of deleting your old, obsolete backups.
and Hot backups.....So you don't care if you lose any changes that occur between your cold backups?
i want to take a cold backup of my database every day and delete need to delete 2 days old backup, so that i can maintain 2 backups(today's and yesterday's) in my hand... Again, rman will do this for you, and more, and much more simply
for this can any one provide me a script to make it automate by adding to crontab.If someone else hasn't by the time I get back to my hotel room this evening, I'll post an rman solution. It is a waste of time to work on a non-rman solution.

Cold backup using script

Dear all,
I need a script to take cold backup of oracle database 10.2.0.3.0 .. such that if todays date is 28-oct-08.. then a folder with the name 28oct08 to be created in the backup location.then using the script user should login to the database shutdown the db and listener and make sure this is completely down and copy the complete oracle files and home location to the above mentioned folder in the server.. any links or points will help a lot ?

Kai, rather than write a script to perform a cold backup for whatever platform you are on I suggest you write a script to generate the cold backup script. The script can connect to the database, read various v$ and dba views such as dba_data_files to get the necessary data file information, and place the file names into OS copy commands. The resulting script should probably include steps to connect to and stop the database and to restart the database instance when it is complete.
Be sure to include a copy of your control file and the spfile in your backup. You do not need to include the online redo logs in your manual cold backup.
An alternate might be to run an rman backup while the database is in restricted session depending on how freely your site has given out the DBA role and/or restricted session privilege.

AUTOMATING COLD BACKUP ON NT

제품 : ORACLE SERVER
작성날짜 : 2003-08-04
Automating cold backup on NT
============================
unix에서는 cron 이라는 것을 이용해서 주기적으로 데이타베이스를 원하는 시점에
shutdown 시킨 후 cold backup 을 할수 있다.
그렇다면 nt에서는 어떻게 이런 작업을 수행해 줄 수 있을까.
여기서는 이렇게 주기적으로 database 를 cold backup받는 방법에 관해서 설명
하고자 한다.
데이타베이스 환경은 다음과 같이 가정한다.
ORACLE_HOME = c:\ORANT
ORACLE_SID = ORCL
데이타화일들은 c:\ORANT\DATABASE 디렉토리에 존재한다.
cold backup을 schedule하기 위해서는 windows NT의 AT scheduler utility 가
필요하며
이것의 GUI version은 windows NT의 Resource Kit에 포함되어 있다.
우선은 NT scheduler service가 동작하고 있는지 확인해야 한다.
확인 방법은 NT 제어판을 열고 Service icon을 더블 클릭하여 schedule service가
동작하고 있으며 automatic인지 확인한다.
그러면 schedule 방법을 다음과 같이 정리하였다.
1. 만약 command line scheduler를 사용하고 있다면 다음과 같은 작업을 해준다.
backup.bat라는 batch file 을 만들어서 다음과 같은 내용을 입력한다.
call c:\orant\bin\svrmgr23.exe command="@c:\shutdown.sql"
copy c:\orant\database\*orcl.ora c:\backup
call c:\orant\bin\svrmgr23.exe command="@c:\startup.sql"
backup을 schedule 한다.
NT의 command prompt(Dos prompt)에서 다음과 같은 형식으로 입력한다.
AT time "C:\backup.bat"
eg. C:\> at 14:45 "c:\backup.bat"
2. SHUTDOWN.SQL SCRIPT를 다음과 같이 만들어 준다.
connect internal/password
shutdown immediate
exit
3. STARTUP.SQL SCRIPT를 다음과 같이 만들어 준다.
connect internal/password
startup pfile=C:\ORANT\DATABASE\INITORCL.ORA
exit
이상과 같이 해주면 원하는 시간에 db를 cold backup 받을 수 있을 것이다.
Reference Documents
<Note:74981.1>

You must cleanly shutdown database before proceeding with a cold consistent backup, otherwise you compromise database integrity, so recoverability.
By clean shutdown I mean Normal, Transactional or Immediate, never abort. The point is that the last transaction must properly be recorded by the last checkpoint, and no recovery process is required. Additionally, a clean shutdown guarantees consistency acrorss all datafiles.

A decent cold backup script

Oracle version : 11G release 2
Platform : AIX
After going through various OTN posts, i wrote the below Cold backup script (Untested). If there are any unnecessary stuff or enhancements required, please let me know
$ rman target /
RMAN>
run
     allocate channel c1 type disk format '/u05/rmanbkp/%d_COLD_DB_%u';
     sql 'alter system archive log current';
     shutdown immediate;
     startup mount;
     backup database including current controlfile tag='mydbname_full_bkp';
     backup spfile tag = 'mydbname_SPFILE';
     release channel c1;
}

Hi T.Boyd
What do you guys think of the backup script? Any room for improvement? I found in a small percentage of the shutdown immediate commands issued, the instance hangs (specially when the machine is very busy).
I have modified my rman coldbackup the procedure to:
shutdown abort;
host 'sleep 3';
startup restrict;
shutdown immediate;
startup mount;Maybe you can add more channels to improve performance. You can use more resources as there are no users on the database anyway....

Script for cold backup using RMAN

Dear all,
db_version:-10.2.0.4
os_version:- Windows 2003 server
I wish to schedule a script that will take cold backup of my database using RMAN.
Any help is appreciated ..
Edited by: user12000301 on May 18, 2011 5:02 AM

Dear All,
Thanks a lot for your valuable time :
However i have managed to do it as follows :
1. First i have configure the parameter of RMAN ( Since it is my UAT in Noarchive log mode), I have never tried RMAN cold backup on the same.
Following is the out put of SHOW ALL;
RMAN> show all;
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 2 DAYS;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF;
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 'D:\DB\RMAN_BKP\BACKUPS%F';
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 2 BACKUP TYPE TO COMPRESSED BACKUPSET;
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1;
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1;
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT 'D:\DB\RMAN_BKP\BACKUPS\DB_%U.%r';
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED;
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE OFF;
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM 'AES128';
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBY;
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO 'D:\DB\RMAN_BKP\BACKUPS\SNCFDB.ORA';
2. I have created a rman_cold_bkp.bat file which has following entry :
cd c:\oracle10g\bin
set oracle_sid=DB
rman target system/*** @D:\DB\RMAN_BKP\SCRIPT\rman_cold_bkp.rcv log=D:\DB\RMAN_BKP\SCRIPT\rman_cold_bkp.log
exit
3. Whereas rman_cold_bkp.rcv file contains following contents:
run
allocate channel C1 device type disk;
shutdown immediate;
startup mount;
backup database;
alter database open;
release channel C1;
exit
I did checked it and it;s working fine for me :-)

Cold backup script

Hi,
i want to make a cold backup and schedule it in CRON, but don't know why but it doesn't work. This is what i've in de "full.rman" file:
connect target /
shutdown immediate;
startup mount;
backup database as compressed backupset;
crosscheck backup;
delete expired backup;
alter database open;
exit
i tried to run this script by rman @full.rman
but when i do this i'm getting the following error:
RMAN> backup database as
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================

In the past i had another error where it looked like it wasn't shutting down the database and starting it up in mount mode. So how can i make a script what wil do what i want :)
Thanks in advance.

No, we are not using rman (yet). This system does not have a 24/7 SLA, so we run a cold backup every Saturday: a shell script shuts down the database and copies all the necessary files to a safe location on another host.
We do have one problem: an accumulation of archived logs. I know that we don't need to keep the logs older than the latest cold backup, but I am unsure of the correct way to clean them up, especially given that we have flashback enabled. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I think maybe I just found the answer to my own question.
Upon examining the flashback_recovery_area more closely, I see an archivelog directory and a flashback directory, which contains a number of flb files going back to 12/14 (today is 12/20). This makes a certain amount of sense since we have the flashback retention target set to 5 days.
Would I be correct in stating that the flashback files are self-managing and completely independent of the archived logs?
Would I also be correct in stating that I can happily delete the archive logs older than my last cold backup?
The thing which gives me pause is that I swear I remember reading somewhere that flashback uses the archived logs. Did I misunderstand something?

RMAN Cold backup script

DB version :10.2.0.4
Do you find anything wrong in the below mentioned RMAN cold backup script? Any enhancements, corrections required?
shutdown immediate;
startup mount;
backup database including current controlfile tag='full_bkp';
startup;
crosscheck backup;
delete noprompt obsolete device type disk;
resync catalog;
}

Since you are doing a SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE and STARTUP MOUNT before the BACKUP, there will be no ArchiveLogs generated while the backup is running --- as the database is not OPEN.
However, the PLUS ARCHIVELOG can include ArchiveLogs that had been generated from the previous STARTUP or ALTER DATABASE OPEN.
(In that case, I would suggest an SQL 'ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT' before the SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE).
Is your database running in ARCHIVELOG mode ? If not, then this discussion is moot.
If yes, the next question is, obviously : Why not take a Hot Backup while the database is running (in which case you MUST backup archivelogs !)

I need to put a quick policy backup ... and cold
backup it's what I use and it works.And reduces the availability of your cluster.
The problem about RMAN is that we never use it. I
have to learn about it to make scripts to test....
and this will tack me 2 or 3 days...I'd assume that installing RAC didn't go overnight, so why underfund the crucial part of any database system, the backup?
There's even a step by step guide for backup on the Getting Started: DBAs page.
Samples (and changes) on the latest version of RMAN can be found for example in RMAN Enhancements.
Or take a look at this Oracle Magazine article:Faster Backup, Faster Recovery
Backup and Recovery Basics in the user documentation may also be a good starting point.

Cold Backup

Hi,
I am doing the following steps for taking Cold Backup
of my Oracle 9i Database (On Solaris).
The Database is not enabled for Archive Mode.
a)sqlplus /nolog
b)conn / as sysdba
c)start up
d)alter database backup control file to '/backup/control.ctl'
e)alter database backup control file to trace
f)shutdown immediate
g)exit
h)Manually copy all the .dbf and init.ora files to a seperate directory.
Are all the above steps correct.
If yes,can anyone give me a script which i can run manually so as to take the cold Backup.
Regards
Deepak
