Cold Backup on windows Server

Hi All;
OS: Windows
DB: 10.2.0.3
I am trying to schedule a cold backup, I was wondering if I can just down the oracle database service and then directly copy the files using copy command and post the completion of copy of the files I will up the oracle services.
Will this method work I cannot test the same as I do not have access to the server right now.
Regards,
Sphinx

Yes you can, by default stopping the service will execute a SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE. To check this, look at the registry keys named something like
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Oracle\KEY_OraDb12c_home1\ORA_ORCL_SHUTDOWN
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Oracle\KEY_OraDb12c_home1\ORA_ORCL_SHUTDOWNTYPE
and you'll see the settings.

    3. Microsoft Azure Backup
    Descriptions:
    Performs an online backup of files or folders on your server. When you use Azure Backup to back up server data, the information is encrypted by using your passphrase before it is uploaded to a secure datacenter on the Internet.
    Operations:
    1) Open Dashboard and follow the path: HOME-> Get Started-> ADD-INS-> Integrate with Windows Azure Backup. Then as Figure 3 shows, you need to “Click to sign up for Windows Azure Backup” and “Click to download Windows Azure
    Backup integration module”.
    Figure 3
    Please note: when you click to download, you may encounter the issue as Figure 4 shows. If so, please follow the path:
    Tools-> Internet Options-> Security->
    Trusted sites-> Add this website to the zone and add
    http://downlaod.microsoft.com,
    https://activedirectory.windowsazure.com in Trusted sites in IE. (Please uncheck
    Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone). Then please check if you can download as normal.
    Figure 4
    2) After you download the OnlineBackupAddin, please run it. Then begin to install the add-in. (if any issue occurs in your installation of add-in, please navigate to C:\PrgramData\Microsoft\Windows Server\Logs folder and check
    InstallAddin log file if you can find some clues.)
    3) During your installation, KB 2873390 may be required. Please download the update package and run it. Then Windows Azure Backup Agent Upgrade Wizard appeared. Please follow it and complete as Figure 5
    and Figure 6 show.
    Figure 5
    Figure 6
    4) Then please re-open Dashboard, you will find ONLINE BACKUP option. (Figure 7) There will be three steps that you need to do: (i)
    Upload a certificate. (ii) Register your server.
    (iii) Configure backup settings.
    Figure 7
    (i). Upload a certificate. (In this example, we use the second option: Upload certificate to Windows Azure Backup vault)
    Please logon Windows Azure, select RECOVERY SERVICES and click
    NEW. Follow the path: RECOVERY SERVICES-> BACKUP VAULT->
    QUICK CREATE. Please type NAME and select
    REGION, then click CREATE VAULT. When create completes, please click the name of this new recovery service that you create. As Figure 8 shows. Then select Manage Certificate to add or update the certificate file (.cer) that contains
    a public key for the vault. The certificate is used to register servers with the vault.
    Figure 8
    (ii). Register your server
    On Dashboard, navigate to Online Backup and click Register. (Figure 9)
    Figure 9
    Then it will check the certificate. And then you need to set a passphrase to secure your data. (Figure 10)
    Figure 10
    When you set passphrase complete, please click Next to continue. When register successfully. You will see Figure 11.
    Figure 11
    (iii). Configure backup settings
    When register completes, please click Configure Online Backup. Then you can follow the Configure Online Backup wizard to configure online backup (add folders), specify the backup schedule, specify the backup retention policy and choose bandwidth usage. The
    all process will be shown in Figure 12-16.
    Figure 12
    Figure 13
    Figure 14
    Figure 15
    Figure 16
    After all configurations complete, you will be able to see that the server integrates with Windows Azure Backup. (Figure 17)
    Figure 17
    On the Dashboard in server essentials, you will be able to start backup online. (Figure 18)
    Figure 18
    After backup online, you will see the protected data as Figure 19 and Figure 20 show in Dashboard and Windows Azure.

  • Can I use Azure Backup and Windows Server Backup in a Windows Server ?

    Can I use Azure Backup and Windows Server Backup in a Windows Server ?
    I want to use both Azure Backup and Windows Server Backup for two senarios.
    For Disaster Recovery = Azure Backup to Azure Storage.
    For non-Disacter Recovery = Windows Server Backup to a on-premises disk.
    The non-Disaster Recovery mean a file or folder recovery, disk crash recovery, migrate to another servers.
    The non-Disaster Recovery need the speed of recovery just like 10 TB recovery as soon as possible.
    If I can use both Azure Backup and Windows Server Backup in a Windows Server,
    Are there any notes for using both ?

    Hi Yoshihiro Kawabata,
    Thanks for posting here!
    Azure Backup to Azure Storage and Windows Server Backup to a on-premises disk. These are two different question and can be answered individually.
    Azure Backup to Azure Storage - Possible.
    Windows Server Backup to a on-premises disk - Possible.
    Can I use Azure Backup and Windows Server Backup in a Windows Server? Is a question.

  • Rebuild from cold backup on windows

    Greetings,
    Our Db was destroyed. We have a new machine now, and I have loaded the OS ( windows NT ), and the Db software ( Oracle 9i ). I have a cold backup of the old database that I would like to use to get the old system back. Where can I find documentation explaing the required steps to getting the Database back on line ( on Windows as a service )using a cold backup?
    Any help or advice are greatly appreciated.
    Thank You.

    Hello,
    If the location of the files didn't change reconstructing the database instance from coldbackup takes just few steps
    1.) Create an instance
    Oradim –new –sid testdb -mode a
    2.) Connect to the instance
    Sqlplus /nolog
    Connect / as sysdba ß
    3.) Start the database
    Startup pfile=localtion to inti.ora
    Let us know your case details and I would perhaps be able to help. I experienced the same problem and successfully rebuilt the database

    RegardsIf your OS is windows then you have to create OracleService using oradim utility,then create need directory for data/control/log files and according background/diag/trace also parameter file.
    After creating these directories startup mount database using STARTUP MOUNT PFILE='PFILELOCATION' then issue command RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE in this case oracle will read default location of archive logs and will apply,if this directory is different then main server then execute RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCEL and apply archive logs manually and open database with ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS.

    What I have done to try to troubleshoot this issue is:
    Reinstalled DPM - No sucess
    Restarted the Hyper-v Host - No sucess
    I'm at the point where I am out of ideas and google hasn't given me much.
    /Joseph

    i have the same error.
    "vssadmin list writers" shows last error unknown for all writers
    disk space is sufficient
    ntbackup of systemdrive and systemstate runs fine.
    i installed KB940349 which fixes some vss related issues but the problem is still there.
    any ideas?
    Thanks.
    When you have vssadmin reporting unknown error the only way to reset the vsswriters (as I understand it please correct me if I'm wrong :) ) is to restart the machine. The Fellenator is correct, make use that the vsswriter is working correctly since this
    is the main function DPM is using when taking backup. He's also right in saying that it's outside the scope! Create a new thread on your error, then you will get much better responce!

  • Unscheduled additional backups in Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials

    I have a strange problem since upgrading to Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials. My server is on a lightly used Home network which I run for two periods totalling 8 hours each day. Whenever the server is re-started it immediately begins a Server Backup;
    not a great problem in itself but the 'unscheduled' backups prevent the Scheduled backup from operating and often cannot complete before the next Shut Down controlled by Task Scheduler. I presume that R2 has added an extra trigger for the Backup but I can
    only find the trigger for my scheduled once-per-day Backup. Can anyone please point me towards the trigger for these unwanted backups. Thanks in advance. Keith Woolf

    Hi,
    Please perform a
    clean boot to troubleshoot
    your issue and check if it caused by other software.
    You may collect some backup logs to narrow down this issue. By default, tracing is enabled in Windows Server Backup to preserve logs. These traces will be present in files
    under the following directory: %windir%\logs\windowsserverbackup
    You can use some tools such as
    tracerpt
    command to export the .etl file into a .txt file. Please check if you can find waht is the root trigger that triggers this unscheduled backup.
    Meanwhile, please check the schedule task for the scheduled backup if it was configured correctly. You can clear up and recreate, then please check if this issue still exists.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,
    Justin Gu

  • Mac Backup on Windows Server (Wildcard issues)

    So our Art department is suppose to be backing up all files to a Windows Server. Which brings this problem. Of course being designers we use wildcard symbols on naming files which the windows server won't allow. So when we attempt to backup, the copying of files stops because of wildcards in certain file names.
    Now we would just go back and go through all the files and fix the wildcards... but this would take years and time is not on our side. Now we have adopted the practice of not using wildcard symbols now but we still have a large back catalog of files that still use them.
    Is there some type of Windows side server script that addresses this issue which makes the use of wildcards possible on the windows server?
    Or am I out of luck? I would think someone has a fix for this or something?
    Thanks,
