Configure backup agent to take the RMAN backup

Hi,
We have a Sun Storagetek SL48 tape library with us. we want to take the backup to tape using Rman.
In order to take the RMAN backup, we need a backup agent needs to be installed on the database server.
1. My doubt is If we have Sun Storagetek SL48 tape library, what backup agent needs to be installed on the server?
2. If we know agent name, Could you please share the document to install the agent?
Thanks for your help.
R.Sundaravel

These softwares support the SL48 and they have an agent for RMAN : Symantec NetBackup, Legato Networker.

Hi.
I think you can create a sales / service partner (Vendor) and do mintain partner determination. also maintain a condition type with an option to feed value manually, it should be assigned to an accruals "ERU" type conditionm in Pricing procedure ( some what like Rebate processing) and further you also refer to the following link for assistance

How to setup and Configure the SCDPM 2012 R2 on Hyper- v VM to take the Backup in Tape Library

Hi
I have to configured a SCDPM 202 R2 on one Hyper-V VM to take the Backup in Tape.
Can any one suggest that we can take the Backup through SCDPM hosted on VM in to tape Library..?
Shailendra Dev

Hi,
Currently, Windows Hyper-v does not support tape libraries on the Vfc - this is covered in the following TechNet article.
Hyper-V Virtual Fibre Channel Overview
Tape library support
Tape libraries are not supported on virtual machines configured with a Virtual Fibre Channel adapter.
Consequently, DPM cannot support something that Windows does not support, so we have documented that Fvc tape is not supported in a VM
Preparing for installation in a virtual environment
So your current options are to use Iscsi attached tape library, or use a Physical DPM Server.
Good news is both the Windows and DPM teams are working with tape library vendors to get their tape libraries certified to work in a Hyper-V VM using Vfc - expect more news about that in a future release of DPM.

How to ensure the rman backup is successful?

Hi,
we have scheduled rman backup jobs.
1. But how do we ensure all the rman backups are successful?
2. if the rman writes directly to tape, how do we ensure all tape backups are successful?
thanks
andrew

But what is incremental merge, couldn't find in the 10g manual?check it out on http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28270/rcmquick.htm#BRADV89354
do you use image backup in real production environment?Of course. We have a standard to to use image copies that way.
what do you suggest to do with rman normal way of backup or go for image backup?Depends on your specific situation. Like anything else, I prefer to provide some rationale on the recommendation.
Image Copies with Incremental Merge
Pros:
(1) one one full backup taken ever; no need to take another full backup
(2) the restore time is the same, regardless of the day of the week the db failed
(3) every day the incremental merge's success means the backup was good - an automatic validation
(4) it allows you to quickly switch to copy, rather than restore
Cons:
(1) Space requirement is more (since it's a bit to bit copy)
(2) can't do a point in time recovery from the disk alone
(3) can't go to the tape directly; must be a disk based backup.
Backupsets with Incremental Backup
Pros:
(1) space requirement is lower (since only never-used blocks are not copied)
(2) point in time recovery is possible
(3) direct backup to tape possible (no need for disk backup)
Cons:
(1) restore time varies depending on the day of the week the db failed
(2) you have to take a full backup regularly, perhaps once a week
(3) no validation unless you use validate backupset (takes resources)
So, as you can see, there are pros and cons to each approach. You have to decide for yourself which one weighs more (or less) to come to a conclusion.
Hope this helps.

Estimating the backup size before running the RMAN

DB Version : 11.2
OS : Oracle Solaris 10
I need to take an ad-hoc RMAN cold backup of a 200GB DB to Local Disk. Using RMAN, is there any way I could check how much the backup size would be before I take the cold backup ?

Read the metalink How to estimate the size of an RMAN database backup [ID 1274720.1].

How to set the Rman backup parameter.

Hi,
Can U guide me how to set the Rman backup path,control file auto backup & others parameter.

Hi,
Go through this,
Show all configurable settings:
RMAN>SHOW ALL;
Write disk backups to the /rmanback directory: (%U will be replaced with unique filenames)
RMAN> CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/rmanback/%U';
Backup using a flash recovery area rather than disk
RMAN> CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT CLEAR;
Configure RMAN to back up the control file after each backup
RMAN> CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
By default, RMAN automatically names control file backups and stores them in the flashrecovery area.
To configure RMAN to write control file backups to the /backup directory:( %F will generate a unique filename)
RMAN> CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/backup/controlfile%F';
Ensure that RMAN retains all backups needed to recover the database to any point in time in the last 7 days:
RMAN> CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 7 DAYS;
Retain three backups of each datafile:
RMAN> CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 3;
Delete backups no longer required by the retention policy:
RMAN> DELETE OBSOLETE;
To override the configured retention policy for individual backups - use BACKUP.. KEEP (or CHANGE.. KEEP)
Configure backups to run in parallel by assigning two sbt channels:
RMAN> CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE sbt PARALLELISM 2;
Reset any CONFIGURE setting to its default by running the command with the CLEAR option
RMAN> CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE sbt CLEAR;
RMAN> CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY CLEAR;

Need to backup and remove photo library form my iphone. This library was previously backup on a hard drive that crashed. So these photos are only in the photo library and not in the camera roll. If I do a full backup, it only takes the camera roll.

Need to backup and remove photo library from my iphone. This library was previously backup on a hard drive that crashed. So these photos are only in the photo library and not in the camera roll. If I do a full backup, it only takes the camera roll.
So this is a 2 part question:
1) how to I backup the Photo Library to my new hard drive (as the last one was unrecoverable but previously backed up)
2) how do I remove the Photo Library form my phone (preferably after backup in item 1)

Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer. As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you. I'm sure you'll pay, however.
Let this be a very important lesson learned.

How to take the Backup of all XI-Design Objects(Repository, Directroty,SLD)

Deal All,
Actually I am facing problems with XI Server.
we have decided to reinstall the server. So, please tell me how to take the back up for all the scenarios that has been created in that. And also tell me how to take the back up for all the things.
Then how the backups can be used in Newly initialed XI-Sys.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.
Danab

Hi,
In your IR and ID , you can export the Objects as TPZ files which can be reimported later.
To expoert, select the SWCV in your IR or the Configuartion Scenario in ID and then Tools --> Export and then specify the directoy in your XI server to which export should be done and then export the same.
Now, they will be available as TPZ files. When you need to reimport, tools --> Import and you can import.

Restoring 20/25 % from the RMAN Backup

Hello Guys,
I have a production environment with size of TBytes, and I would like to create a new test environment but with a smaller amount of data, so i need to take a hot full backup from the database then restore only 20% to 25% from the original data to a new fresh database.
The question, is this scenario Doable ?, do we have particular way to do this approach ?
Thanks for your help !

Hello Paul,
You mean that if i have some constraints, it will be difficult to take the backup using the expdp ?, now we are deciding to use the expdp/impdp to take the backup from the production database and restore it in a new fresh database, please consider that we will use the SAMPLE to take around 20% to 25% from the original data.
Do we have have any restrictions for this scenario ?
Thanks for your help.
Mahmoud Darwish.The problem is that the SAMPLE (or nothing else inherent in expdp) is going to know about cross-table relationships. So it samples 20% of your invoice_detail table. What's to tell it which rows from invoice_header are needed to match those specific invoice_detail rows?

Automating refreshing one system with the rman hot backup copy from another

Hi Apps DBAs,
Right now we have two systems: production (OPEBSN) and production support (FINSUP).
I implemented a cronjob, which can refresh FINSUP every night from the cold backup of production. We shutdown the production system at night.
But our istore on production will go live soon and our production system will run 24*7.
The production is already hot backed up from RMAN.
Is it possible to do the following?
Automating refreshing FINSUP from the RMAN hot backup of OPEBSN?
If it is possible, would you please outline the general idea or give me a reference documentation?
If it is not possible, is there any other way to realize our purpose?

I had an iphone4 and i forgot to take the latest backup of my phone

I have an iphone 4 & i forgot to take the latest backup before shifting to iphone 5s. The transition to iphone 5s was very smooth & its working fine but it has only the old backup data. Now i am tryiing to take a new back up from my iphone4 & then try n plug my new iphone5s but it doesnt help. 25% of my contacts have gone missing my mails are not working & few of my latest messages have also gone missing.

First step is upgrade to Snow Leopard, 10.6, by calling Apple at 1-800-MY-APPLE and order the SL DVD for $20. Then update on-line via software update to 10.6.8. If you want to go further, to Lion, you can purchase a download code for $20 from that same number and download 10.7.5, or go directly to the Mac App Store and purchase/download 10.8.2 provided your computer is on the compatible hardware list at http://www.apple.com/osx/specs
