Daily export backup (via datapump) of a 600GB production database

Hi Guys,
I have a 600GB DB.
10G Database.
Currently I have daily rman backup to tape.
Based on your experience, should i bother to perform a daily export of production database of such size?
Do u think it's useful?
thanks

All depends, what do you want to do? Do you have enough space to save a backup and export daily?
In my opinion with one backup is enough to save your database. I'm sorry, I can't agree with that. I've been in situations where the first, second and THIRD backup sources have been unavailable in the event of a Production restore. I had to go to Plan D and cross my fingers (and sweat a lot). That might be overkill, but you should never rely on just one backup method/source for Production data.
Not only that, but, obviously, you can also use an export of the data and import into another database or a schema inside the database in case you need to address any logical corruption. We also use the exports to refresh test databases.
We have many similar sizes of databases and we take exports weekly, instead of daily. An export will be an incomplete backup, obviously, though you can ensure consistency by giving it an SCN to use as a datapoint. You can also run Data Pump in parallel which does speed things up.
If you use it as part of your backup strategy, I'd make sure I had regular backups of the parameter file and the controlfiles (both binary and trace). I'd also make sure I had regular txt files showing the necessary information for the tablespaces and the datafiles which you can use to recreate the files in case you needed to.

Daily export backup

Hi,
I have production & DR database of 350gb version 10.2.0.4 on aix 5.3 platform.
In morning time after completion of daily batch, we are taking export backup (by stopping application services till application is not available for users) by using datapump utility which is taking 2 to 2.30 hrs to completes.
After that we have starting the application services and then only application available for users.
This export backup dump we are daily using for restoration on another development server.
Kindly help me, is there any option to avoid export backup time so that it will not affect buisness time.
and also i can do daily restoration on development server.
Please help.
Regards,

you can use STREAMS.
If certain schema/objects you can use MViews.

Tablespace export import via datapump

Friends ,
I want to export a particular tablespace using datapump "expdp" and also import it to a new tablespace of a new database . Using datapump , is it possible to do ?
Plz help .. ...

Maybe it's easier to use Transportable Tablespaces, see http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/tspaces.htm#sthref1281
It's also possible to use datapump, but it takes longer, see http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/dp_export.htm#sthref71

Not sure why this thread was locked, but I unlocked it.
There may be segments in this tablespace, but they may not be owned by a schema that is exported using Data Pump. For example, if all of the storage in this tablespace is owned by the SYS schema, then there is nothing in this tablespace to be exported.
Any idea what schema owns the segments in this tablespace?

Export Backup takes 90% CPU Usage

hi Gurus,
We have export backup scheduled on PROD database. We have noticed that export backup consumes alot of CPU usage.
Database: Release 9.2.0.6
CPU usage: Around 90% TO 95% during backup activity

How to ZIP Oracle Datapump export backup file

Hello All,
My customer is asking to give him the production data dump to the following path \\138.90.17.56\OMNISAFE.
I really don't understand his requirement and he also wants me to zip the export backup file. How do I do that, Do you know any unix command to zip backup files.
thanks and regards

Well Thanks for your reply.....my oracle version is 11.2.0.3.b and if we have the compression option can you please elaborate how to do that......
It's in the documentation. See Data Pump Export
let us say my expdp file is abc.dmp...should I give the command gzip abc.dmp or any different.
Let me google that for you
One more question what does teh customer mean by production data dump to the following path \\138.90.17.56\OMNISAFE. please explain
How do we know what the customer means? Why don't you ask him?
That said, it looks like a url to an ip address and a defined folder at that ip address. Again, if the customer wants you to send them a file, you need to be working with said customer on the mechanics of accessing their system.
All that said ....
Learning how to look things up in the documentation is time well spent investing in your career. To that end, you should drop everything else you are doing and do the following:
Go to tahiti.oracle.com.
Locate the link for your Oracle product and version, and click on it.
You are now at the entire documentation set for your selected Oracle product and version.
BOOKMARK THAT LOCATION
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what is available here. Take special note of the "books" and "search" tabs. Under the "books" tab (for 10.x) or the "Master Book List" link (for 11.x) you will find the complete documentation library.
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what kind of documentation is available there by simply browsing the titles under the "Books" tab.
Open the Reference Manual and spend a few minutes looking through the table of contents to get familiar with what kind of information is available there.
Do the same with the SQL Reference Manual.
Do the same with the Utilities manual.
You don't have to read the above in depth. They are reference manuals. Just get familiar with what is there to be referenced. Ninety percent of the questions asked on this forum can be answered in less than 5 minutes by simply searching one of the above manuals.
Then set yourself a plan to dig deeper.
- *Read a chapter a day from the Concepts Manual*.
- Take a look in your alert log. One of the first things listed at startup is the initialization parms with non-default values. Read up on each one of them (listed in your alert log) in the Reference Manual.
- Take a look at your listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, and sqlnet.ora files. Go to the Network Administrators manual and read up on everything you see in those files.
- *When you have finished reading the Concepts Manual, do it again*.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime.

Schedule Hot backup via OEM

Hello all,
We have a realtively small system running Oracle 10G on Windows 2003 O/S. I've scheduled a full offiline (cold) backup of the whole db to run once weekly via OEM. Every night we run a script to do a 'logical' backup by EXPORTing the 2 main schemas in the DB out to .DMP files. However this now may not be enough to satisfy DB recovery requirements.
Is there an easy way to schedule a 'Hot' backup via OEM, that could replace the EXPORT scripts mentioned above, or would we have to write an RMAN script to do this ?? The requirement is really to allow the database to be updateable whilst any daily backup is running. I realise that the DB needs to be in ARCHIVELOG mode for anything like this to work.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Shaun.

hi,
on the OEM main page, click on targets, you should see your databse there. click on the database and then on the maintenance tab.
from here you can schedule jobs and you have the option to schedule a online rman backup of your database. However, to do an online backup your database needs to have archiving turned on. Is this the case as you currently carry out offline backups which might indicate that archiving is turned off.
regards
Alan

Export Backup Size is different

Hi Gurus,
We are using Oracle 10G (10.2.0.1.0) on Solaris 10 and we used to take export backup daily basis. While taking export backup using 'exp' then .dmp file size is becoming 30.3 GB where as when we use 'expdp' .dmp file size is 26.1 GB. I've checked both the log files and found no. of tables along with their records are same. so I'm confused why this size difference? and as a result we are not in a position to implement 'expdp'. Can anybody tell me why this size difference and whether can we rely on expdp or not?

Oracle recommends that you use the new Data Pump Export and Import utilities because they support all Oracle Database 10g features
Look at the following documentation:

Sequence behavior after importing via DataPump

Hi Friends,
I'm running Oracle DB 11.2.0.3 on Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Servers and I faced a strange sequences behavior after importing a schema via Data Pump.
The export is done this way:
EXPDP userid/password dumpfile= logfile= directory= remap_dumpfile=y (no news)
The import is done this way
IMPDP userid/password dumpfile= logfile= directory= remap_schema=(old_one:new_one) remap_tablespace=(old_ones:new_ones, so on...)
The import works fine. There are no errors and the sequences are as well imported with no warnings.
The strange behavior is that the sequences seems to "reset". When we call a sequence the NEXTVAL is just lower than the values already stored in the Database, and we get ORA-00001 a lot. The sequence should know that vale. I don't have this problem when using exp/imp, just via DataPump.
So that when we create an order that should receive the value of 100, as an example, because we have 99 orders on the system, Oracle suggest a value lower than 99 or even the number one value (01).
We then wrote a script to check the CURVAL of the sequences on the base schema to recreate the sequences using this initial value on the new imported schema.
Does anyone faced this problem before?
Any suggestions?
Tks a lot

Richard
I've tried what you just said.
Adding the parameter consistent=y makes Oracle to show a message like that at the beginning of the export
"flashback_time=TO_TIMESTAMP('2013-09-03 12:18:12', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')"
It warns me: Legacy Parameter CONSISTENT=TRUE, and replaces with flashback_time.
Really, I did not know about this behavior with this "old" parameter. I'm very appreciated about your help.
I was almost thinking it was a DataPump bug or something.
Thanks a lot Richard. I'll now update my scripts and make lots of test.
If you have more advices using this parameter please share us.
Cheers

Export backup failing with ORA-1555snapshot too old: rollback segment ERROR

DB version =8.1.7.4
OS=Solaris =5.10.
I know this is outdated. But still we are supporting this version of database.
We are facing ORA-1555 error daily when we are running the export backup of database. Consistent parameter is set to N .
I needed to know why export uses rollback segments during export operation. even though CONSISTENT parameter is N.
Thanks,
Edited by: ahshivap on Dec 12, 2012 5:19 AM

Hi,
Consistent=y just mean the tables are consistent with each other. Oracle still has to guarantee that each individual table is at least consistent with itself. That's your issue.

Harry

Problem Exporting Backups from Cisco Prime LMS 4.2 deployed as software appliance

Hi,
I'm trying to backup a Cisco Prime LMS4.2 based on soft appliance. I have the backup stored on destination disk://localdisk/backup/, but i can't export it via FTP to external server. When I perfrom the transfer only the folder is stored in the destination path, the files aren't included. I think that i have to compress files on the backup folder as .tar file using linux shell, but i can´t find the backup folder from this shell.
It´s correct my procedure, if not What is the procedure and commands to export a backup to external server via FTP?
Thanks,

Hi Dave,
If your Goal is to upgarde the IOS of the devices via LMS then MANUALLY download the IOS Image from cisco.com
and use the FILE SYSTEM option to add the Image in the Software Repository
Then try to upgrade the IOS and see how it works.
Thanks

RDS 2012 R2 - How do I lockdown access to Local Computer Management and Windows Backup via Group Policy

Greetings all,
I am needing assistance in how to lockdown access to Local Computer Management and Windows Backup via Group Policy for users that access RDS service. I have followed this awesome guide - h t t p://w w w.it.ltsoy.com/windows/lock-down-remote-desktop-services-server-2012/
- but it is missing two important resources that I would like to lock down.Currently, I have successfully locked down Control Panel for users via Group Policy, but I cannot find any group policy or guide on how to restrict user access
to Computer Management (different to Server Manager). When using Win-X shortcut to open the 'Administrator's shortcuts' near the windows icon, I have locked down everything except Computer Management. Computer Management gives direct access to Disk Management,
Shares etc, which are locked down for users. But Windows Server Backup is still accessible. Can someone please guide me on how to restrict access to both Computer Management and Windows Server Backup.
Thanks in advance.
Terry.
