Copy backups back to ASM

Hi,
I am working on an oracle MAA project (2 rac with 4 nodes each using dg)
i am backing up the system using rman (to FRA on ASM) and copying the latest backup outside to local storage.
i delete the contents of all backups in the ASM and i want to copy it back in.
i used DBMS_FILE_TRANSFER to copy outside but when i want to copy back i get ORA-15046.
any expirence?
10x,

Actually, rather than email them all back to yourself, (which would lose original sender info and original timestamp data in the list viewer pane, unless you did "redirects" which will still lose original long header information), try selecting all messages in the Windoze Mail program list viewer and dragging and redropping them onto the imap account's inbox. I know I can drag and drop messages across imap servers' inboxes in my all-Macintosh world. If it were a Mac, that would for sure put them back on the imap server. Whether your Windoze Mail program will allow you to drag and drop messages onto an imap mail inbox folder, I don't know...we ARE talking about Windoze here... Of course, do what Scott suggested earlier, and change from POP/delete-from-server to IMAP on the Windoze machine first, before trying this.
If the above doesn't work, go to Mail.app's Help menubar, enter the search phrase "importing messages" and see if any of the guidance there can help you accomplish what you are trying to do with regards to cross-platform mail import. If your Windoze Mail application can export those messages into "mbox" format, do so then take the exported archive file and import it into the Mac's Mail, as Mail's Help suggests.

  • Test RMAN consistent "as copy" backup outside of ASM (RAC)

    Hi!
    We have create RMAN consistent backup in our RAC (ASM with FRA) environement.
    Backup steps looks like:
    alter system set cluster_database=false scope=spfile sid='HAC4';
    srvctl stop database -d HACThen we start RMAN backup script like (database is shut downed before):
    run {
    startup mount;
    allocate channel t1 type disk format '/u01/rman_backup/HAC/cold_backup/HAC_%U';
    allocate channel t2 type disk format '/u01/rman_backup/HAC/cold_backup/HAC_%U';
    SET CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/u01/rman_backup/HAC/cold_backup/HAC_%F_ctl';
    backup as copy database include current controlfile;
    }After backup we perform:
    alter system set cluster_database=true scope=spfile sid='HAC4';
    shutdown immediate;and later
    srvctl start database -d HACBackup files from this backup are placed on local disk area accessed by node4, where HAC4 SID is on.
    We transfer those backup files to tape on some schedule basis...
    Now we want to test this backup.
    Scenario:
    Because we have consistent backup we think that we can perform restore from it (from that disk files) and from it ONLY!
    Our problem is that all the time restore is using ASM files, so we are not sure is our backup valid.
    So, how to prevent RMAN restore/recover process from using any ASM file - just to use our consistent backup data?
    Please some script example for that....
    Our config:
    Oracle 10gR2.0.4 PS3 (CRS, ASM, database)
    Linux Rhel 5.3 IA64 on "raw devices" (not raw disks)
    THX
    Damir

    We'll...look this restore for our "as copy" consitent backup. Assume that ${BKUP_DEST} is env variable in bash script which points to same place where backup was done. Here is restore part:
    run {
    startup force nomount;
    RESTORE CONTROLFILE from '${BKUP_DEST}/HAC_20090916T152408_u5kpd8le_1_1_post_ctl';
    alter database mount;
    sql "alter session set NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=American";
    allocate channel t1 type disk format  '${BKUP_DEST}/HAC_%U';
    allocate channel t2 type disk format  '${BKUP_DEST}/HAC_%U';
    restore database FROM TAG='TAG20090916T152532' ;
    release channel t1;
    release channel t2;
    }where
    TAG='TAG20090916T152532'is tag that was done in backup. This is done from "ac copy" backup. But when we run:
    run {
    allocate channel t1 type disk format  '${BKUP_DEST}/HAC_%U';
    allocate channel t2 type disk format  '${BKUP_DEST}/HAC_%U';
    recover database FROM TAG='TAG20090916T152532' ;
    release channel t1;
    release channel t2;
    }RMAN is using archive logs from ASM....and we want to use only files from "as copy" backup-remember we test "as copy" consistent backup.
    If we do not run "recover" part then we cannot open database!?
    (i.e. alter database open resetlogs).
    Hope now is all more clear..
    Regards,
    Damir
    P.S.
    Either our backup script is not OK or restore/recover script is bad....
    Unfortunatelly we do not know what?

  • Copy RMAN backups from RAC ASM

    Hi, I have 2-node (RHEL 5.8) RAC database with ASM shared storage. RMAN is doing daily backups on this ASM storage too. How could I copy backups from ASM to another place ? I'm using version 10gR2 db, and there is no "cp" command in asmcmd.

  • How do I put recovery files back into ASM?

    I'm trying to recover a database for testing. I have all the backup files in a directory. I've restored the controlfile.
    When I run the restore, the error is:
    RMAN-03002: failure of restore command at 10/21/2009 19:24:52
    RMAN-06026: some targets not found - aborting restore
    RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 4 found to restore
    RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 3 found to restore
    RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 2 found to restore
    RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 1 found to restore
    I'm guessing that I either need to tell rman where to find the files or put the files back into the ASM +FLASHBACK.
    So 1) How do I tell rman that the files are now in a directory
    or 2) How do I put the files back into ASM?
    Thanks - JR

    I restored the control file with the rman "RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM 'filenamegoeshere'; It was the control file backup from the corresponding DB backup.
    I couldn't use the RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM AUTOBACKUP because it was expecting the backup files to be in the ASM +FLASHBACK.
    The catalog lists all the files that I have, but it thinks they are in ASM.
    Thanks - JR

  • HT1751 I need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes (it won't let me update). So, how do I copy or back up my iTunes library of over 1,500 songs? Can I use a Flash Drive to do so?

    I need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes (it won't let me update). I have IE 8 on Windows XP, and iTunes 10 something. In my Program files list I see iTunes and iTunes (2) and even iPod and iPod (2) where a tech had to back up and do this for me before. I'm just trying to fix it all. I keep getting the "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below." I can even run a search and find the folder, but it gives me the same error message. I was planning on using the Microsoft Fix-It tool  to help uninstall then Reinstall iTunes. But I need to backup my library. So, how do I copy or back up my iTunes library of over 1,500 songs? Can I copy the folder to desktop or can I use a Flash Drive to backup my music? I don't want to do anything until I know for sure how I can backup my songs, and then reinstall them into iTunes. Thanks for any help.

    Ok, thanks that helps. I don't have an external hard drive though. What about backing up through 'the cloud'? I'm just wondering since my husband syncs his iPod to the PC through iTunes and he's worried that he will lose all the songs on his iPod if the library is lost from iTunes and he tries to 'sync' it up again. I'm not exactly sure how to  'copy the entire iTunes folder' either. I kinda suck at this unless I have step by step instructions, which I haven't found yet on iTunes help or other sources.
    The only way I know how to back anything up is by going back to a restore point, etc. (as stated before, we don't have an external hard drive.)
    Thanks for the info.

  • Is there a way to copy or back up contacts from my Ipod touch without using Itunes?

    Is there a way to copy or back up contacts from my Ipod touch without using Itunes?

    Are you sure that you can transfer contacts from the iPod to Skydrive?
    I would try the links that I previusly provided and try to get iTunes to see the iPOd so you can do everthing right.
    If you find a computer that can see the iPOd yu can update the iPod on that computer.  See:
    iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5
    Yu can make that your suncing computer by -
    - Transfering iTunes purchases:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Connect the iPod and make a backup by right clicking on the iPOd under Dvices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore from that backup. That will also update the iPod.

  • Content copier backup has contacts etc. but won't ...

    I have a problem with Content Copier backups from my E71 to my PC.
    1) I choose to backup everything.
    2) Backup proceeds, but says there was an error: on viewing logs there is nothing listed under "These items could not be backed up" heading. Backup log says contacts, messages, calender have all been backed up.
    3) On finishing backup my E71 is sometimes left with a semi-blank Home screen, and hung. Have to remove battery to get it working again.
    4) On trying to restore this backup, contacts, messages, notes, calendar aren't listed as being included in the backup.
    Installing the trial version of Noki shows that the backups DO indeed contain contact details. But presumably there's something in the backup file that makes Content Copier think that contact details aren't in fact there, or that they're corrupted.
    PC Suite 7.1.18.0
    E71 firmware version 100.07.76 and 200.21.118
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I don't think it's the phone.
    I've now tested using Content Copier to do backups on my laptop. This still had PC Suite 7.0.9.2 on it, and the backup completed without error, including "Settings" to backup phone-specific settings. I then upgraded PC Suite to 7.1.18.0 and now the backup fails if I have "Settings" selected.
    I've also tried completely uninstalling PC Suite and reinstalling 7.1.18.0 but I still get failed backups.
    PC Suite 7.0.9.2: backup works correctly, including "Settings"
    PC Suite 7.1.18.0: backup fails if "Settings" are selected to be backed up
    I've opened the backup files in Write, and both failed and completed backups contain Contacts data in VCARD format (which is presumably why Noki could see contact data), but the completed backups also have another 18Mbytes of binary data that are missing from the failed backup files (presumably the phone-specific settings stuff).
    It would be nice if Content Copier could allow me to extract the Contacts and Calendar data from a failed backup: the data is in there!
    I've been communicating all this with Nokia Europe Support, so hopefully this will be fixed soon.

  • HT1414 is it possible to copy backup taken from my old iphone to the new one?

         is it possible to copy backup taken from my old iphone to the new one?

    Sure you can, as long as you still have the old backup.
    I have restored my iDevices (iPod Touches, iPads and iPhone) from backups a number of times. I've done this long after the devices were setup. Sometimes I restore from a backup because I have tweaked a setting and it screwed something up on my device so I restored from a backup in order to restore the previous "non-tweaked" setting back to the device.

  • How to Copy backup to new ipad

    How to Copy backup to new ipad?

    Do you mean this via icloud. Today i had my ipad3 exchanged under warranty (dust under the screen)(Thankyou apple for easy replacement). I had to set up ipad as new. Then check what ios version i had on this new ipad (it was 5) the icloud version from my previous ipad was 6 which was preventing my new ipad accepting the upload from the icloud. First i updated the software on new ipad to ios6 , after that had completed , i had to reset and erase settings again.  Then new ipad could see my old icloud account and downloaded it. All is back on. Happy days.

    i am finally changing my os x 10.5 to 10.6 late i know, but i was wondering i have adobe creative suite on my mac which i use for business pupouses and i wanted to know if after i change the os x system do i have to re-install these programs from their original disc or can i just copy them back onto my mac from their backup .
    thank you for any help

    Glad I asked...
    I would Strongly suggest that you get yourself an External Hard Drive... and create a Bootable Clone Backup of your current Hard Drive...
    By far the easiest way to make such a Backup, is to use something like
    SuperDuper  http://www.shirt-pocket.com/
    or CCC  http://www.bombich.com/
    That way, should anything untoward happen during the Upgrade,
    You will NOT LOSE ANYTHING.
    (Get an EHD that is at least equal to your current Drive...)

  • Extracting Backups Sets from ASM with RMAN (10g)

    If I backup my database to my flash recovery area in ASM using RMAN, can I then extract those backup sets from ASM and turn them into normal file system files?
    I think I read that you can do this but I just wanted to be sure. I don't need super detail on this, just get me pointed in the right direction.
    I've certainly read about extracting a database from ASM, but I'm just not sure how I'd migrate an individual, arbitrary file.

    http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/04-nov/o64rman.html#T2 describes something like this, in the "Adding ASM" section. Here's the excerpt:
    Files inside an ASM location are not accessible as operating system files. To get the backups and archived logs from the ASM disk group to regular disks and tapes, John will use RMAN to back up the recovery area from ASM to tape (at the network backup server) through the following command:
    BACKUP RECOVERY AREA;
    This backs up the entire recovery area, including data file backups, archived logs, and control file backups from the ASM disk group to the tape.
    So, this would lead us to believe that what we want can be done. However, I read somewhere in the RMAN doc that BACKUP RECOVERY AREA will only create a backup to an sbt (i.e. tape) device. That is, it would appear that RMAN cannot store backups in ASM, and also allow you to "export" them to disk. You can export to tape, but not to disk.
    This is disconcerting. I'd like to store all Oracle-related files under ASM, but I'd also like to allow our tape backup procedures (which I am not in control of, and which do more than just backup Oracle) to easily just grab OS files that I put out there.

  • Time Machine 2nd Copy Backup

    My question is: is it possible for me to backup a second copy of my computer onto a second hard disk that is partitioned with one partition FAT32 and the other Mac Extended?
    I use Time Machine to back up my computer to an external hard drive and it works fine. I am now paranoid and want to have a second backup. I have a second external hard drive that is ready to go - maybe. This second external hard drive is partitioned so that one part is FAT32 for compatibility with a PC. The other partition is Mac Extended (not journaled) as this was the instructions given by Tech Support for this hard drive (WD Passbook Studio). I would like to back up the hard drive to the Apple partition of the second hard drive, and use Time Machine.
    In looking through the help files, couldn't find anything about using Time Machine to create backups of the same hard disk on two different hard drives - I could envision that Time Machine might get confused unless it specifically first reads some type of information file when scanning the backup.
    Second, there was one discussion file that suggested the external hard drive needs to be formatted HFS. When i tried to format the partitioned external hard drive, it wouldn't allow me to format one partition with Apple Partition map and the other with Master Boot Record (necessary for the FAT partition), so I had to have both as Master Boot Record. However, the Apple partition is still formatted as Mac Extended.

    Thanks. I think the solution is to use two different backup programs that backup by different means.
    The archive attribute is an attribute with each file (I read through Silverkeeper and it uses this). It has to settings - "a" and "". When you create or edit a file, it is set to "a". When you back it up, the back up program resets it to "". So a backup program can quickly scan the hard drive for all files that are set to "a" and know that only these files were changed.
    In non-Time Machine programs, a full backup backs up all files regardless of the attribute setting, and a differential backup backs up all files that have "a" set to it, and resets the "a" to "". Some programs have an additional setting where it backs it up, but does not reset to "a". There are times when this is convenient because it gives you copies of changes made each day since the last full backup (useful for business) but not if you work on a lot of files each day because then it becomes time consuming by the end of the week, unless your backups are run overnight.
    Just to make sure, I will try this out and post a message later indicating if this indeed worked.

  • VSS Full Backup VS VSS copy backup.

    Hi
    My question really is where can I find a clearer explanation regarding the difference between Full Backup and Copy Backup. Since I'm not that familiar with backup, the explanation that one retains the application log files and the other clears the application log files makes me to miss the whole meaning of this.
    I understand Copy Backup is to be used if you have another backup product. Since it retains the log files, that means that the other backup utility basically doesn't even know another backup took place? or am I understanding this all wrong.
    thank you.

    Hello,
    When you use some backup product to back up your data (for example, a folder), the archive attribute will be cleared (meaning that this file has been backed up). If you make some changes to the data after you back up this data, the archive attribute will be selected automatically to indicate that the data has been changed since the last save. So, next time the backup utility runs, it will check all the files' archive attributes to see which data has been changed since the last backup.
    You can see this attribute by clicking "Advanced" button on the General tab of the folder' property. It is the "Folder is ready for archiving".
    So, if you have more than one backup product to regularly backup your files and after the initial backup some files have been changed. These changed files' archive attribute will be selected. One backup utility runs and finds that the files have been changed, it will back up these files and then clears the archive attribute. After that, anther backup utility runs, however, it will find that the archive attribute is not selected, so it will see this file as unchanged since the last backup. Conclusively, after a long time, you will find the backup files are not the same within the different backup products.
    The total difference between these two options is, copy backup copies all the files that you select, but does not mark each file as having been backed up (in other words, the archive attribute is not cleared).
    So, as the prompt says, choose the VSS copy backup if you are using another backup product to back up applications that are on Volumes included in the current backup.
    Best regards,

  • .Rem files removed from blackberry​, how to copy them back?

    Unaware of all the issues surrounding  .rem files, I copied the files to my desktop using the default windows media manager and checked the "erase from device" option.
    So now I have all the .rem files on my computer which I cannot view, and if I copy them back to the pictures folder on my blackberry, they donot show up in the media library on the phone.
    I am happy to mail these files to myself from my blackberry, however is there any way to get them back onto my blackberry??
    Please help.
    Thanks.

    Now that you've copied them to your pictures folder, do a powered on, battery pull reboot, and the cache should update with the pictures in the folder.

    Don't you just love changes in interfaces?
    I found the answer to my question.
    When you attach a device (iPhone, iPad) to your Mac, in iTunes 12 in appears as a tiny icon in the second "row" of the iTunes display. Click the icon and the familiar iTunes display for the device appears. From there, on the Summary screen, you can see the dates of the backups of the device (iCloud and backup to the computer). You can also use the button to backup to the computer.
