I'm sure that a short google search should find some example for you.
Here some scripts :

But, that would be better to google for more results :

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

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.

Slapconfig backup shell script?

Trying to create a shell script scheduled with launchctl to backup an open directory master.
Googling seems to come up with this script:
#!/usr/bin/expect -f
spawn /usr/sbin/slapconfig -backupdb "Volumes/MacHD/Backups/odbackup"
expect “Enter archive password”
send “password\r”
expect eof
It gets caught up on the "Enter archive password" part, and complains that the spawn and send commands are not found.
Anyone see what I'm doing wrong or can suggest an alternative?

Ahhhh as always within minutes of posting here, I find an answer.
Throw above into a file odbackup.txt
Make a shell script that has:
cat odbackup.txt
expect -f odbackup.txt

Cold backup automated script

Hi--
Can any one provide me one cold backup script,,with that i need to delete 2 days old backup and need to put current backup in that mountpoint.
Thanks in advance.

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.

Need a shell script to backup archive log daily

Hi All,
We need a shell script to backup the archive logs daily after shutting down the concurrent manager and once the backup is completed, needs to start the concurrent manager through the script itself, if you have any ideas or sample scripts, please provide and help us.
The objective is to backup the daily archive logs with out any loss of data.
Thanks,

I do not have a similar script to share, sorry. However, you may review the following links/notes:

Unix shell script to do a cold backup

i want to do a coldback using a unix shell script.
the db capacity is around 12 Tb
wen the backup is done i need to zip it too.at this moment i dont want to copy to the disk.
kindly help me regarding this
thanks in advance
NK

i used something like this until recently:
#!/bin/bash
umask 0077
export ORACLE_HOME="/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/webdb1"
export PATH="$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH"
export NLS_LANG="AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1"
db="dbname"
pipe="export.pipe"
file="$db-`date "+%Y-%m-%d"`.dmp"
if [ ! -p $pipe ]; then
## could exist but not be a pipe
rm -f $pipe
mknod $pipe p || (echo "could not create pipe $pipe"; exit 1)
fi
gzip -c > $file.gz < $pipe &
exp system/****@$db FULL=Y CONSISTENT=Y FILE=$pipe DIRECT=Y GRANTS=Y
you could of course also use zip|bzip2|pbzip2 or whatever.

Scripted Cold Backups / Archived Logs / Flashback

Facts:

Archivelog enabled
Flashback enabled
db_flashback_retention_target = 7200 (5 days)
archive_lag_target = 1800 (30 minutes)
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?

Shell Script for automatic backup

Hello Every one,
We have windows network and sun solaris sparc box. (both from Sun Box and from Windows machine I can communcate using Telnet.)
I wish to take data backup of a system having windows operating system, into
the sun solaris sparc box automatically by week end .
Can anyone help me with the shell script which does this operation.
Regards,
Dwarak

first of all, is there nfs running? and on windoze box, do u have any nfs client program running?
you cant transfer files frm the windoze machine via telnet..
once you can settle the above, what you can do is a simple copy script and put it in your crontab.

Shell script for export backup in oracle 11g

Hi,

How to write shell script for export full backup in oracle 11g and also need to remove 2 days of old backup.

How to write shell script for export full backup in oracle 11g
Do you mean that export is your backup strategy ? is your database running in noarchivelog mode ? if so, then why ? if not so, then why not RMAN ?
need to remove 2 days of old backup.
If that mean remove files older than 2 days, you can use something like this :
$ find <absolute directory path> -mtime +2 -exec rm {} \;

Hi all,
I have migrated database from 8i to 10gr2.For Backup in 8i, we used a RMAN shell script (scheduled uding cron tab) to backup the database to Tape.(VERITAS BACKUP).
I am new to 10G.I checked out the options to backup the database using Oracle Enterprise manager DB console.

I am planning to take a test backup using the steps mentioned inthe above url.Could any one suggest whcih is the best option for database backup,eiether to use Oracle Enterprise manager DB console or thru RMAN shell script for backup..?
Edited by: soundar on Mar 9, 2010 10:53 PMDear soudar
I woudn't suggest you to work with EM if you want to be a professional DBA. Start learning RMAN and use CLI instead of GUI

Generate RMAN backup Script using unix shell script

Hello,
Could somebody give me a unix shell script that would generate RMAN script based on some user defined parameters in a config file.
e.g.
rman.conf
CHANNELS=4
USE_CATALOG=Y
DEVICE='sbt_tabe'
etc.,
many thanks,
kam

You can actually encapsulate the RMAN commands inside the shell script.
However if you really want to create a seperate RMAN script file, you can use the unix shell's "echo" command to write set variables to a file.
Thus, for example,
echo "rman target / catalog rman/rmanpassword@crcat" > RMAN_Script.rmn
echo "backup database plus archivelog" >> RMAN_Script.rmn
echo "backup archivelog all" >> RMAN_Script.rmn
creates RMAN_Script.rmn with 3 commands.

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....

Tycho
