Difference Between Crosscheck Backup and Crosscheck Backupset
I am using 10gR2 on Solaris 5.10
I have a following RMAN script:
run
backup database;
crosscheck backupset;
crosscheck backup;
}What is the difference between Crosscheck Backup and Crosscheck Backupset? Can we just specify crosscheck backup?
regards
CROSSCHECK BACKUP - this command check all backup set and image copies
but CROSSCHECK BACKUPSET check only backupsets

Difference between Full backup and lncremental level 0 backup
Hi,
What is the difference between Full backup and lncremental level 0 backup?
what I understand is:
Actually incremental backup backups all the block containing data and skips the blocks that are unused.
Similarly full backup backups all the blocks containing data.(does it skip unused blocks ?????).
The only difference that I feel is that the level 0 backup is recorded as an incremental backup in the RMAN repository, so it can be used as the parent for a level 1 backup where Full database backup is not recorded in the Rman respository and cannot be used as parent for level 1 backup.
(if you still feel you have some more points to share regarding the difference between backups, I request to share with me)
so my question here is
Can we use Incremental level 0 backup for full database recovery. Else is there any compulsion like we must only use full database backup for full database recovery?
can anyone throw light on this
with regards;
Boonowhere in this thread we talked about the image copies as we are only talking about the incremental backup.
The word "always" has a meaning. If you now wish to say, "well, RMAN will mostly use a level 0 or full backup, except when there are image copies around" then the word "always" doesn't fit your newly-revised description. That would make it an inappropriate word to use. And indeed, it's a factually wrong word to use.
If you want to get really picky about it, incidentally, the words 'datafile copy' appear in a post from me at Aug 4, 2007 6:03 PM whereas your post (in which the "always" word was used) only appears Aug 4, 2007 8:32 PM -a full 2 and a half hours (and and two posts) AFTER the concept of image copies had been mentioned.
But regardless of times: you can't just pretend image copies don't exist just because they haven't been mentioned so far in a thread. If you post "this is the way something ALWAYS works", you'd better be completely right about it, because "ALWAYS" is a big word. And there's no grey about this: either "always" is right, or it's wrong. And in this case, it's wrong: there are many times when RMAN will not do what you baldly asserted it would do. Image copies aren't some rare, exotic beast, either... so the occasions when your 'rule' breaks down are many and common.
until now I was simply beliving in what Oracle docs and metalink notes says
Try not to do that. Because you will fall into error after error if you do. Metalink is not the Holy Gospel of Oracle. Testing is, and it's because I've been testing this stuff since 1999 I will, on this occasion, decline your kind invitation to do "a small test". Been there, done that.
All of which leaves us discussing things that are of no relevance to the original poster, and I have no desire to take the thread off into silly areas of dispute. So I will leave it there, and I have nothing further to say on the matter. RMAN does what it does, and what it does is not what you said it would do. End of story. -
Difference between "Configuration Backup" and "WCS Server Backup" on WCS
Hello,
it would be fine if somebody could tell me in one short sentence the difference between the two above mentioned scheduled tasks on WCS.
Many thanks in advance,
ThorstenHi Thorsten,
WCS Server Backup - backing up the WCS database
Configuration Backup - backing up configurations from the controllers
Hope this helps!

Difference between DB Export and Offline Database Backup
Hi all,
This is a conceptual Question.
I want more information on what is the difference between DB Export and Database Backup? Also, it would be helpful if you can provide me with some links to them where I can increase my knowledge regarding DB Export, why it is done and tell me some scenarios.
Thanks.
AnilHi Anil,
I have no link for DB export for you, because you don't ask for a specific database. But if you like, you can read the export part of the System copy guide you can download from http://service.sap.com/instguides.
But may be a short description is enough:
DB Export:
A DB export exports only the structure and data from the database, but no index pages. Therefore you have to build the indexes during the import. This could be very CPU intensive if your tables are big.
DB Backup:
A backup is a copy of all used blocks/pages inside a database (in Oracle also unused blocks). This includes structures, data and indexes. When you restore it, only the blocks/pages were moved, no additional operations are necessary.
If you want to keep a small copy which is less release dependent than a backup, you should use a DB export (if you use R3load, you are also DB independent). If you want to have a copy of your database which could be restored quickly , you should use a DB backup.

Hi,
This should be straightforward, but being new to SQL Server 2008, can someone advise the difference between "create to" and "drop to" using "script job as"?
Thanks
IT Support/Everythinghello,
"CREATE TO" create a CREATE statement for the job, e.g. to execute this script on a other server to create the same job there.
"DROP TO" means you get a script to delete an existing job.

What's the difference between "controlfile autobackup" and "snapshot contro
Hi All,
What's the difference between "controlfile autobackup" and "snapshot controlfile" in RMAN configure ? Both are controlfile backups, what the difference between the controlfiles they backup ? Why there are two of these options ?
thanksRMAN creates a control file snapshot to perform catalog resync operations. Control file autobackup will automatically create a backup of the control file whenever there are database structure changes.

What's the difference between "My Contacts" and "All Contacts"?
What's the difference between "My Contacts" and "All Contacts"?
I have no other account other then my iCloud account (from what I can tell), but "My Contacts" has a significantly smaller number of contacts then "All Contacts".
What's the difference?Thanks for posting the screenshots, that's helpful. I didn't realize that you were looking at your groups.
"All Contacts" include (as the name implies) all of your contacts. Below that are any contact groups that you may have defined. These would normally be such things as "Work", "Personal", "Doctors", etc.; any groups that you find useful to define. These contain subsets of the "All Contacts" group.
At some point, perhaps inadvertently, you must have created a group called "My Contacts", or imported it to iCloud from your computer. At the time this may have contained all of your contacts and would have had the same number of contacts as the "All Contacts" group. Then over time you probably added 433 additional contacts that were never part of the original "My Contacts" group, resulting in an "All Contacts" group that contained 1465 contacts.
If you don't have any use for the "My Contacts" group, you can delete it by clicking on it on the left sidebar, click the gear icon on the lower left and choose Delete. If you're concerned about doing this, you can make a backup of this group first by selecting it on the left sidebar, clicking on a single contact within the group, pressing Control-A to select them all (they should all be highlighted), then clicking the gear icon and choosing Export vCard. This will create a .vcf file that can later be imported back to iCloud if you ever need to (by clicking the gear icon again and choosing Import vCard). -

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FULL AND BULK-LOGGED RECOVERY MODEL
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FULL AND BULK-LOGGED RECOVERY MODEL
In bulk logged recovery mode certain bulk operations are minimally logged. In FULL recovery mode these are fully logged. These bulk operations are as mentioned below
1. SELECT INTO
2. BULK IMport operations including BULK INSERT and BCP
3. INSERT INTO SELECT command using the OPENROWSET(BULK) function
4. Partial updates to columns having large value data type
5. Using WRITE clause in UPDATE statements
6. Index operations e.g CREATE INDEX, ALTER INDEX REBUILD , DROP INDEX
In Bulk Logged Recovery Mode when you execute these operations SQL Server only logs the fact that these operation occured and information about space allocation. The actual change in the data is maintained in the BCM (Bulk
Changed Map)
Since the actual changes are not recorded in the log file, the log file size in the reletively less in size but this tradeoff comes with the price of increased backup time. This is so because during the log backup its not just the log being backup, but also
the extents that are marked by the Bulk Changed Map as changed.

What's the Difference between Time Capsule and OS X Server?
The only thing i know is that both of them can share and backup files among different computers.
is that correct?
I'm still not quite understanding the exact functions of them
so your help and explanation will be highly appreciated.!!
Thanks!Did i do something to cast your anger upon me o mighty Camelot, backed up bypterobyte?
Not at all, Mark - at least not in my case. I'm sorry if it came over that way. I was just saying that there's a slew of differences between Time Capsule and Mac OS X Server - it's almost unfair to put them in the same bucket.
Yes, Mac OS X Server can act as a backup destination for Time Machine clients, but it can also do a lot more than that. To be fair, it wasn't clear from the original post whether the focus was on backups alone (in which case the two are reasonably similar), but my point was that Mac OS X Server is a whole different animal. It's like comparing a Smart Car and an RV - both will get you from point A to point B, but the RV has bathroom, shower, beds, satellite TV, a kitchen, etc. -
What is the difference between full checkpoint and incremental checkpoint?
What is the difference between full checkpoint and incremental checkpoint?
And what is checkpoint queue?
Can someone clarify these concepts?
Thanks!Hi,
there are different types of checkpoints:
- Full checkpoint:
=> DBWR writes all dirty buffers from the Buffer cache to the datafiles and CKPT retrieves a new Checkpoint Change Number from a sys owned sequence and writes this number to all file headers and the controlfile.
-- can be triggered by different events, like a logswitch, a manual checkpoint (alter system ..), a shutdown and so on
This is the setup point for SMON for a crash recovery.
- Partial checkpoint:
=> DBWR writes all dirty buffers of a singel tablespace from the Buffer cache to the datafiles and CKPT retrieves a new Checkpoint Change Number from a sys owned sequence and writes this number to all file headers and the controlfile.
-- can e triggered by an ALTER TABLESPACE OFFLINE, ALTER TABLESPACE READ ONLY, ALTER TABLESPACE BEGIN BACKUP statement.
Incremental checkpoint:
number to all file headers and the controlfile.
-- can be triggered by different events, like a logswitch, a manual checkpoint (alter system ..), a shutdown and so on
- Partial checkpoint:
=> DBWR writes all dirty buffers of a single tablespace from the Buffer cache to the datafiles and CKPT retrieves a new Checkpoint Change Number from a sys owned sequence and writes this number to all file headers and the controlfile.
-- frequency is determined by FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET parameter (new feature to Oracle 9i), with wich you can specify a time in seconds which SMON is allowed to take maximal for a Crash Recovery until the database must be open again.
Dapending on the system you have SMON must calculate the maximum number of Redolog-blocks which it can manage to recover in the specified number of seconds. It will then create so called incremental checkpoints which will be tracked in the so called checkpoint queue in memory.
FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET is auto-tuned in Oracle 10g and Oracle tries to manage (incremental) checkpoint in a fashion that a minimum of I/Os are caused and a minimum time for crash recovery is needed.
If you set LOG_CHECKPOINTS_TO_ALERT to TRUE you will find checkpoint information in the alertSID.log file. You will see FULL and INCREMENTAL checkpoints then.
Hope this clarifies your question,

what's the difference between the Icloud and Itunes when installing back up???
Backing up using iTunes stores your backup locally on your computer. Using iCloud stores your backup on Apple's servers. If you never backup your computer(bad idea), iCloud would be a better choice. Read more here:
