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.

Cold backup using RMAN

Dear All,
db_version :10.2.0.4
os_version:Window 2003 server
Environment:Test
I wish to perform cold backup using RMAN for the same i want to know following :
1. What is the script / command ?
2. How to restore cold backup completely ( ex:- if i lost all my data,redo and archives )
3. Is it mandatory to open the database in RESETLOG mode after recovery ( since i have a cold backup ) ?
Thanks in advance

A "Cold" Backup is called a "Consistent" Backup.
See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14192/bkup003.htm#sthref297
Backup :
From the RMAN command line :
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE
STARTUP MOUNT
BACKUP DATABASE
BACKUP CURRENT CONTROLFILE -- to get the controlfile in a separate backupsetRestore :
STARTUP MOUNT
RESTORE DATABASE
ALTER DATABASE OPENIf you use an SPFILE, you can have an SPFILE backup included automatically with the controlfile backupset with CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON and CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT ...

How lot take log backup using script in HANA

We have SAP HANA SPS09.
1) We are using script provided by SAP Note#1651055 to take the data backup.But it seems it is not taking log backup.HOw can we schedule logbackup ? or we have to use DBACOCKPIT or Studio only?
2) My DB is log_mode OVERWRITE.I have taken backup using script.But when I tried to check the backup using below command
hdbbackupdiag --check -f -d /mnt/resource/backup/xb8_bkp_19022015/ --logDirs /mnt/resource/logbackup/,/usr/sap/XB8/HDB00/backup/log
ERROR: [110081] Catalog backup log_backup_0_0_0_0 not found

Is it like we have the DB in OVERWRITE mode thats why we are getting this error?Will my recovery work ?
Thanks,
Mofizur

Did your issue got resolved?
We are having same issue. We are on Rev 82 and using DD Boost EMC to take the backup using BACKINT.
Though we are on Rev 82 I tried option provided by Pavan which didn't worked for me.
hdbbackupdiag --check --useBackintForCatalog --backintDataParamFile /opt/ddbda/config/sap_hana_ddbda.utl -d /usr/sap/A0T/SYS/global/hdb/backint

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 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.

user8683962 wrote:
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 from disaster system

Hi,
We are using oracle 9.2.0 ,HP UNIX and SAP version 4.7E. We have disaster recovery configuration.
We are normally taking oracle cold backup using UNIX commands and at the time of taking cold backup we shutdown the production system.
My queries are:
1.I do not want to shutdown production system. I want to shutdown disaster recovery system and take cold backup from disaster system using UNIX commands.
(I) what are the prerequisites to follow this?
(ii) Is it right way to take backups?
Thnaks&Regards,
Nani

Hi Nani,
The reply to your queries are below :
1) Prerequisites :
a) Make sure that the archive logs generated at the production site are stored temporarily at the DRP site, so that when the DRP DB starts after backup gets completed, it will get recovered using those logs.
b) Make sure that there are scripts or procedures in place for automatic shipping and application of redo logs at the production and DRP sites respectively.
c) Ensure that two consecutive backups of the DRP DB don't overlap, otherwise the redologs will only fill the temporary location (usually oraarch or saparch) without getting actually applied.
2) This is definately a much better and efficient way to take backup of your production server. This will ensure higher availablity of your production server for carrying out business.

Deoraj Alok.

Recovery from cold backup

Hi,
We take Hot backup everyday, but I took a cold backup using the same catalog. If I want to restore the cold backup I took, what is the proceedure. We are running on 10g in HP Unix.
Thanks.

Hi Rock2,
If you want to restore the cold backup you need to know the tag belonging to this backup.
Using the logfile of the coldbackup or <list backup summary;> in rman you should be able to get this info.
The restore would be similar as:
connect catalog rman/pwd@define_rcv;
# check in catalog database for the dbid.
# If so set the appropriate dbid by unhashing the line directly below using the current dbid
# set dbid = define_dbid
connect target /;
STARTUP NOMOUNT;
run {
allocate channel tc1 type 'SBT_TAPE'; # or 'DISK'
allocate channel tc2 type 'SBT_TAPE'; # or 'DISK'
# adjust the TAG in the following lines
restore controlfile from tag TAG0000001;
sql 'alter database mount';
restore database from tag TAG0000001;
sql 'alter database open resetlogs';
release channel tc1;
release channel tc2;

Restore from cold backup (rac server)

Hi All,
Oracle version : 10g
OS : SunOS dixie1 5.10 Generic_118855-36 i86pc i386 i86pc
I am having cold backup of RAC server (2 nodes), I want to restore from cold backup.
The problem is that : when i performed the cold backup using rman at that time Oracle was having 3 ASM diskgroups.But unforunately that disk is no more in use due to some fault.
Now my question is how can i restore from the cold backup as when i'll restore from the cold backup this will ask for the same ASM diskgroups.Even more if i creates the same diskgroup with the same name and same configuration then my doubt is that rman will allow me to restore the same from the cold backup as ASM disk header changed now ?
Thanks,
Vipin

Yes.You can do these and restore/recover your database.First you need startup your ASM instance then create your ASM disk groups and do following:
1.Edit pfile and change controlfile location to diskgroup(Consder that +dgr1)
2.Restore controlfile to this disk group using backup of controlfiles(you say that is cold backup)
rman target /
/*Instance need starting up from pfile*/
startup nomount ;
/*then restore controlfile,give full path of controlfile from coldbackup*/
restore controlfile from 'coldbackup_location\coltrolfile';
alter database mount;
catalog start with 'coldbackup_location';
backup as copy database format '+dgr1';
switch database to copy;
alter database open;

Restoring tigger from cold backup.

Hi
I have one problem..... recently i have drooped 1 trigger by mistake of one of my user in database. Now the problem is... we never take the logical backup of that DB.
Backup mechanism of the database is Cold Backup and size is *2TB*.
Now i have to restore that trigger from the cold backup with minimum effort , do i have to create the Clone database with the Cold backup using all the datafiles ...? or System tablespace ( or datafile) and default Schema tablespace(Schema which holds the trigger and its tables) in enough for restoring the trigger ?
I hope i am clear with my question. please let me know if you need more details.
Please suggest some best and fast way to solve this problem.
Thanks,

You need to restore enough to OPEN the DB can you please elaborate this clearly....
The version is :
Oracle Database 11g Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.1.0.7.0 - Production
CORE 11.1.0.7.0 ; Production
TNS for Linux: Version 11.1.0.7.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.1.0.7.0 - Production I have dropped in this Monday. Flashback is not implemented.

Build standby database using cold backup on a different file system & host

Hi gurus,
The database version is 11.2.0.3. OS is HP UX Itanium 11.31
I am building a standby database using cold backup of primary. The primary mount points are (/p003/oracle, /p004/oracle) on HOST1 and the standby file system on HOST2 are (/s003/oracle,/s004/oracle). I am not using Data Guard to apply logs as we have a script that mounts the log location periodically to standby server and apply the logs to make it current. I am using cold backup as the database is small like 200G and can be taken down. Could someone help me with the steps to build standby using cold backup for a different file location in standby ?? My concern is I can copy the data files from /p003 to /s003. How will I build the controlfile ?
If it was same File system on both HOST 1 and HOST2 I can copy the cold backup to the standby server, build a standby control file on primary and copy and replace the standby control file and everything was set.
Thanks
Cherrish Vaidiyan

Hello;
I have a note on this using a cold copy of the current files instead of a copy backup :

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
