Copying or backup of a database

Hello all,
This may be a very simple question to answer. I am looking at getting a (copy) of our live database off our live server (Sql management studio 2005) and moving into a test server for testing. I want the live database to still be active , with just a copy
of it on our other server. What is the best way to do this? Can I do this without taking the live database offline?

Take a backup of the database , move the backup to test server and restore it there. You can either do the backup and restore via GUI or use transact-sql statements.

This will not effect your live database.

Itunes constantly copying a backup of my database

I have setup my Itunes to access the database and music folders from an external network drive. This works and there is no problem with that.
It is only because my Itunes is setup this way that I have been able to spot what Itunes is doing.
*Itunes appears to copy its own database file every 5 minutes whilst being used.* I can only see this because my network drive (Linkstation) keeps a copy of deleted files in its ‘trashbox’ (a sort of recycle bin that ensure you can recover what has been deleted from the network)
Why is Itunes doing this?

t seems to me that it would be a slicker program if it perhaps saved any changes in a temporary file and then updated the main database only once on exit?
The potential problem with this is the iTunes library.xml file is created by iTunes only for all other applications to access the library.
If this file is not updated until iTunes quits, then any updated info will not be available for other apps to use. If you renamed a song or updated a playlist, no other app would see any changes.

How to take a Hot backup of Oracle database

1: put the db in archive log mode
2: set the db_sid to correct one
3: login to sqlplus
4: verify the name of the db that you are connected to
select name from v$database;
5: check if the db is in archive log made
select log_mode from v$database;
if not in archive log mode
another command to check
archive log list;
6: find where on disk oracle writes archive log when it is in archive log mode
sql> show parameter log_archive_dest_1;
if the value is found to be 0, that means no values will be recorded, so we need to change it
sql> alter system set log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=c:\database\oradata\finance\archived_logs\'
scope=spfile;
7: shutdown immediate; < this is done just to prepare the db for hot backups >
8: startup the db in mount mode
startup mount;
( 3 startup types : nomount - just starts the instance, mount - locates the control files and open up according to the values, open - finds the datafiles from the control files and opens up the db )
9: put the db in archive log mode
alter database archivelog;
10: open the database
alter database open;
11: check the status of the db
select log_mode from v$database;
SQL> archive log list;
12: create a directory for archived log
check if its empty, if empty we need to switch
sql> alter system archive log current;
run it 5 times < need to put / and enter > , then check the archive log dir , we will find files
13: make a table in the database and insert data in it
create table employees (fname varchar(2));
check the table
desc employees;
insert values
insert into employees values ('Mica');
14: tablespace must be in hot backup mode
check the status
select * from v$backup;
if found not active, then we need to change
we cannot put the db in hot backup mode, unless it is archive log mode
change to hot backup mode
alter database begin backup;
check the status
select * from v$backup;
15: now we can only COPY DBF FILES
copy *dbf <distination location>
16: need to take the db out to hot backup mode
alter database end backup;
17: need to make another archive log switch
alter system archive log current;
18: need to copy control files now, need to do a binary bckup
alter database backup controlfile to '<location>\controlbackup';
19: insert more values to the table
insert into employess values ('NASH')
COMMIT;
make another archive log switch : alter system archive log current;
do the same process for more values
20 : backup all the archive logs to a new location
21: shutdown the db and simulate a hw error, delete all the files from the database folder
22: try to start the sqlplus and db ::: error
23: copy all the backups to the db dir
need to copy the control files, rename the binary backup of the control file and make the copies as needed
24: try to mount the db, error < must use reset logs or noreset logs >
25: need to do a recovering of the database
shutdown
restore the archive logs
startup mount;
recover database until cancel using backup controlfile;
it will ask for a log file :
yes for recovery
cancel for cancelling recovery
26: check status: open the database in readonly
alter database open read only;
check the tables to see the data
shutdown immediate
shartup mount;
recover again : recover database until cancel using backup controlfile;
if oracle is asking for a log that do nto exist , all we have to do is type cancel
27: open the database
alter database open;
need to do reset logs
alter database open resetlogs;
28: check the db that you are connected, check the tables
thanks and regards

A very long list ... let me make it shorter.
SQL> archive log list;If I see this:
Database log mode No Archive ModeI put the database into archivelog mode and leave it there forever.
If it is in archivelog mode:
RMAN> TARGET SYS/<password>@<service_name> NOCATALOG
RMAN> BACKUP DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG;Though there are a lot of things one could do better such as incrementals with block change tracking, creating an RMAN catalog, etc.

Old Toad's automator workflow to backup Library6.iPhoto database

Dear Old Toad,
I just today downloaded your workflow to backup the iPhoto database file, and am having problems making it work.
When I run it, either from the dock or the script menu, it launches Automator but then closes without doing anything. I don't get a confirmation screen, and no copy of the database is created.
So I opened it in Automator to see if editing it would help, even though my library is already named iPhoto Library and stored in user/pictures. When I dragged it onto the Automator window, there was only 1 action (Get Specified Finder Items) instead of the 4 that show up in the ReadMe. When I dragged it onto the Automator app to open it, I got nothing.
I downloaded it via Firefox 3.0.1 and got a 1.1MB zip, and I tried downloading it twice in case it had corrupted in the download, but no change with the second try. Downloaded from here:
http://web.mac.com/toad.hall/ToadsCellar/ToadsCellar.html
Running OS 10.4.11, iPhoto 7.1.5, on a G4.
Something else I can try?
Thanks,
Daiya

Yes. Run the application like you would use the Save command in other applications, often. Running it again will overwrite the current backup copy with a new backup that will include all changes you've made to your library, new pictures, deletions, slideshows, books, etc.
I suggested keeping it in the dock so you can quickly run it after any changes you've made to the library. Being in the Dock makes it more convenient than having to go into the Application folder and launching it from there.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Can I take a backup of a database in standby mode?

Can I run backup on a database that is in standby mode because it is the DR box receiving log shipping?
Does that work in SQL 2005? How about SQL 2000?
Thanks.
Josh
ps - I know I should just try it, I've already Googled it - with mixed results.

https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=466121
Please allow backup of database in standby mode!
This comes up as a very common requirement in HA/DR planning. Logs are shipped over a (relatively) small pipe to a DR site, for days or weeks or months. As part of a (partial) failover plan, we need a full backup of a current version of the database to restore on another server on the DR side - but we cannot take the main DR (secondary) copy out of standby without breaking the log chain. Yes, we might have to pause the application of logs - or possibly not - in order to take the backup of a large-ish database. But the alternative is shipping a large backup all the way from production over that small pipe, which can be prohibitive.
Thanks for the reminder, Tibor.

System Copy/ Oracle Backup/Restore as part of migrating from 32 to 64-bit

Source system (I386): R3E47 Ext Set 2.00 SAP_BASIS 620 Kernel 640 Windows 2000, Oracle 10.2.0.4, non-unicode
Target system (x86-64/AMD64): R3E47 Ext Set 2.00 SAP_BASIS 620 Kernel 640 Windows 2000 Oracle 10.2.0.4, non-unicode
Am using method System Copy/ Oracle Backup/Restore to migrate from 32 to 64 bit (HOM System Copy).
Actions on source system:
a) Upgrade from 9.2.0.7 to Oracle 10.2.0.4
b) Used ora_br_copy.bat to generate CONTROL.SQL and init<sid>.ora
c) Switched logfiles
d) Performed offline backup
Actions on target system:
a) Installed Oracle 10.2.0.1 and patched it to 10.2.0.4
b) Used CD 51033746 "6.20/6.40 based products Installation Master (Edition May 2008)" to install the CI
c) Started installation of the DB instance selecting System Copy/ Oracle Backup/Restore (same <SID> for source and target systems)
Relevant input parameters used:
Database schema: SAPR3
Database character set: US7ASCII
d) When SAPINST stopped to allow for restoring of datafiles, logs and init<sid.ora>:
- copied datafiles and logs to the usual place
- copied CONTROL.SQL (edited to include utilrp.sql and utlrp.sql for the migration from 32 to 64) to the DB-instance intallation . directory.
- copied generated init<SID>.ora to the <ORACLE_HOME>\database
e) Resumed SAPINST.
David Byrne in a previous post suggested: "check your oracle alert file in case there are errors there you may need to update the word size for the 64bit install. Errors like this in the oracle alert file would suggest that.,
ORA-12012
ORA-06544: PL/SQL: internal error, arguments: [ORA-06544: PL/SQL: internal error, arguments: 56319], [, ], [, ], [, ], [
ORA-06553"
Well, I am getting ORA-06553: PLS-801: internal error [56319] but then my edited CONTROL.SQL (which is mainly a CREATE CONTROLFILE as it would be obtained with a ...BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE) includes at the end this:
shutdown immediate
startup upgrade
spool utlirp.log
@?/rdbms/admin/utlirp.sql
spool off
Shutdown immediate
Startup
Spool utlrp.log
@?/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql
Spool off
exit
which is supposed to do just that... (I think)
Help, anyone?

> Trying to cheer me up, are you?
No
> It is NOT free that reorganization! Quite expensive, actually, paid for in time! But you're right... the database needed a reorg anyway :-\
True, not "free" - it takes time but the data will be nicely aligned then
> And why would I have to reconfigure all those 10.2 features? Everything's either in the database or init<sid>.ora, ain't it? And my database is a pretty 10.2.0.4 with all those nice features already activated...
No - not really auotmatically if you upgraded from 9.2 And "init<SID>.ora" is past, you nowadays use "spfile" If, of course, e. g. Automatic Undo was activated in 9.2 then it's there of course in 10.2 too.
> One sticky point... I haven't really read the r3load procedure yet and I will before I import, but... I would say I don't have to do anything about the 32->64 bit, right? I mean, it should behave properly while reloading on 64-bit...
The exported content is about 10 % of the size of the system, it's database and OS independent so yes, you can import it nicely on 32bit. Another tip: make sure you don't just use the default configurations for R3load, it will take a HUGE amount of time. Use the package splitter (builtin-in in sapinst) so you get a much higher parallelism when importing.

What commands used for taking backup of oracle database using BR*Tools

Can somebody please help me urgently to know what are the commands used for taking backup of oracle database using BR TOOLS.Also specifythe commands in detail which can be used for taking backups of oracle database ,Online Redo log files in databse using BRBACK tool,Archiving of offline, redo log files using BRARCHIVE, and Restoring a Database using BRRESTORE tool Commands(Plese specify the commands with their Syntax used).Also specify the commands with their Syntax which are used for taking backup of oracle database(online,Offline redo log files) into Tapedrives using BRTOOLS commands.
Thanking You for helping (in advance).

Dear Ashish,
BRBACKUP / BRARCHIVE calls the operating system command to copy the files.
Simple approach to get the commands is as follows.
1. Set the BR_TRACE (as given in the SAP note 29321) and run the command for which you need to know the OS / SQL commands.
2. This will generate the log file with the trace information. This trace has the information of the commands used by the job you have run.
Hope this helps.

Madhukar

- I put the test database to run in archivelog mode
And now?
Sorry my english.

Backups for large databases

I am wondering how people do restores of very large DB's. Ours is not that large yet bit will grow to the point where exports and imports are not feasible. The data only changes periodically and as it is a web application,cold backups are not really an option. We don't run in archived log mode because of the static nature of the data. Any suggestions?

put the read only tables in a read only tablespace and slowly changing tables to another tablespace. the most frequent ones in another tablespace.
take transportable tablespace export of the frequently changing tablespace daily and slowly changing 2-3 times a week (depending on your site specifics). this involves nothing but a metadata export of the datadictionary info of the tablespaces exported and an OS level copy of the datafiles of those tablespaces.
this is the best way for you to backup/recover. check out oracle documentation or this website for transportable tablespaces.
I guess it comes to a point where you have to make a tradeoff between performance and recoverability. In my opinion always take recoverability over performance.
If the periodic change of data is nothing but a bulk data load then after the dataload take a backup of a database. having multiple recovery scenarios is the best way for recovery.

Copy or backup to external hard drive

Could someone help me copy or backup my music to an external hard drive? I tried, but what ended up on the hard drive doesn't look familiar to me at all.
thank you in advance

If the songs in your library are not all in the iTunes Music folder you should start by consolidating them. When you consolidate, any songs in the iTunes Library that are not in the iTunes Music Folder are copied to the Music Folder and the Library is updated to point to those new files. Files already in the iTunes Music Folder have no changes made to them: Copying all your iTunes files to one location - Windows
Once you have everything safely in the iTunes Music folder copy the iTunes folder from your internal hard drive to the external drive. Copying the whole folder brings with it the iTunes Music folder and also the iTunes Library (iTunes Library.itl in Windows) database file which holds all the information about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?

How can i do a RMAN backup of my database from the network ?

i'm using oracle 8i.1.7.3 with win server 2003
i want to know how can i do a RMAN backup of my database (sever machine A) from the network.
i'd like to save the backup in another machine (the same LAN, the same OS ).
to do that i've mapped a logical device in my comptur (z):
when i run rman command i got this error:

How can I restore backup if I copy the backup (Think Vantage RR 4.0) to another storage

After I copy a backup to another storage, it is not possible to restore this backup, because the old path, from the other storage is entered. Is there a possibility to change this path and restore the backup?
thx for help!

Are you launching the restore operation from within Windows?
You may be able to browse to the copied backup if you boot R&R from a CD/DVD.

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.

Can I copy a Backup file from one PC to another and use it?

IPhone got all screwed up with the update on my home PC and wont restore, my PC at work does it fine, but my backup file is on my home PC. Can I copy my Backup file from my home PC and put it on my work PC to restore my IPhone?

Before your restoring your iPhone with your PC at work, you can create a backup of your iPhone on the PC before restoring.
With your iPhone connected and available in the iTunes source list, control click on your iPhone and select Back Up.
