Files to backup in NOARCHIVELOG

dear friends
nowadays, i have an oracle export backup in test database.
But my backup only considered logical export. I know that is recommended to backup INIT<SID>.ora too.
What others configuration files would you recommend me in order to restore in any situation ???
Thanks !!!

Most important, a database running in noarchivelog mode can never be restored in 'any situation'. You can only can go back to the last cold backup. Better than a logical export backup,but not good enough.
Put your database in archivelog mode and let RMAN do the work. All important elements can be backed up, datafiles,controlfiles,spfile (not text-based init.ora),archivelogs. In case of trouble you can remedy (almost) everything.

What files can be excluded from user-managed backup in noarchivelog mode?

what files can be excluded from user-managed backup in noarchivelog mode?
control files,
sqlnet.ora file,
tnsnames.ora,
datafiles associated with read-only tablespaces,
datafiles associated with read/write tablespaces,
of these, what can be excluded and what have to be included?
Thanks.

... and don't forget pfile or spfile... it can help too.

Hot backup on NOARCHIVELOG mode?

DB version:10gR2, 11G
Why is it not possible to do a Hot Backup in NOARCHIVELOG mode? What role does archived redo log files have in a Hot backup?

Because it takes more than zero seconds to backup a database.
Say your database consists of 1 single datafile of 10MB. This datafile, at the OS filesystem level, consists of 2,560 blocks of 4KB each.
If you start a backup of the datafile, the OS utility (tar, cp, cpio, whatever command) reads the first 4KB block and copies it out. It then, after a certain time, reads the next block. And so on till it gets to the last block of the file.
However, since the database is "open" transactions may have updated blocks in the datafile.
Therefore, at time t0, block 1 may have been copied out. At time t5, block 128 may have been copied out. At time t32, block 400 may have been copied out. Unfortunately, some user may have updated block 1 at time t3 and block 128 at time t8.
What would happen if these blocks, having been copied out at different times were restored ? They would be inconsistent !!
It is the ArchiveLog mechanism that allows Oracle to know that a datafile was "active" when it was being backed up. Oracle has to "re-play" all changes that occurred on the datafile from the time the datafile backup began (at t0) till it ended (at the 2,560th block).

My iMac just crashed, and I had some documents open in Pages that were unsaved. Is there a temporary file or backup file that I can access as on a PC? (I have just looked in Timemachine which I had operating, but it did not seem to have any temp files).

My iMac just crashed, and I had some documents open in Pages that were unsaved. Is there a temporary file or backup file that I can access as on a PC? (I have just looked in Timemachine which I had operating, but it did not seem to have any temp files in it at all - not sure what it would be useful for then).
Any suggestions?

Question asked and answered several times.
If you didn't save, nothing is recoverable.
iWork apps don't create temp files so, as far as you on't save something, Time Machine can't archive it.

I upgraded to iTunes 10.5 and now I can't back up iTunes library to disc. In previous versions it was in file library backup to disc. In iTunes 10.5 that is gone!

I upgraded to iTunes 10.5 and now I can't back up iTunes library to disc. In previous versions it was in file>library>backup to disc. In iTunes 10.5 that is gone!

Some of us have our enture itunes library backed up on CD/DVD - what a waste of time and effort as now presumably you can't use these discs to restore itunes on a new computer! WHY NOT APPLE?
Very unimpressed with itunes 10.5/ios5 - wifi tracking apps have been removed from the store (and won't function in ios5), it's impossible to sync photos (I have spent a whole day trying to sync my iphone 3GS with itines 10.5) to no avail and now, no CD backup facility.
I have never had problems with apple before - I was thinking of upgrading my whole system from PC to Mac but now I am doubtful - if this is typical of apple software, I will stay with windows!

Monitoring File History / backups in Windows 8.1

Hi,
By tracking some events I was able to monitor Windows 7 Backups. By means of of schedule task triggered by the events belows.
Image Backup successful : Event log : Microsoft/Windows/Backup/Operational. Source : Backup. Event ID : 14.
Profile Backup successful : Event Log : Application. Source : Windows Backup. Event ID 4098
(BTW, the Microsoft/Windows/Backup/Operational log not holding all backup logging is a bit disappointing, to say the least.)
How can I monitor Windows 8 "File history" ?
I we keep the default "every hour" File History, the best approach is perhaps to track failures instead of success. Also because I haven't seen any event logged for a successful backup into the log : Microsoft/Windows/FileHistory-Engine/File history
backup log/Operational.
When I disconnect the backup device I get and Event ID 203 in there, though.
What are other event IDs related to a backup failure ?
Is there a configurable Action Center notification on backup failure ?

Hi,
Log files related to File History can be found in Applications and Service Logs -> Microsoft -> Windows. We found following two interesting event files:
WHC under FileHistory-Core
File History Backup Log under FileHistory-Engine
The entries of Information level in WHC appears whenever File History runs, stops, turns off or on. On the other hand, File History Backup Log records warnings or error messages, for instance, file was not backed up due to xyz error, unusual
condition was encountered during finalization of a backup cycle for configuration, unable to scan user libraries for changes and perform backup of modified files for configuration.
For more information about file history, you can refer to this link:

Is it possible to decrypt EFS files without backup certificate- windows xp,vista,win-7,win8

hi,
i have windows xp and and i did the format c:\ without take any EFS certificate backup ,is it possible to decrypt efs files without backup certificate , i have lot off files like Microsoft office and pdf , how can i recover the file and decrypt
Any software to decrypt the files , mostly word and excel files , any solution please let me know as soon ad possible.
Thx
PV

If you formatted the entire "C" drive (Format C:\) then you don't need to decrypt them but rather recover them. Recovery is somewhat doubtful but one application you can try is called recuva.
You will not recover 100% of the files and may not recover any

How to recover DB2 using offline file system backup.

Gurus,
I had a problem with my BI PRD's database. 1 of my BI consultant accidently deleted some important 2010's data. We've try recover online database backup of BWP into BWQ and retrieve the missing data. However the backup retention period was expired and we dont have any available online backup now.
Only hope is my offline file system backup which backup the whole file system of BWP ONLY.
My question:-
Can i restore the file system (offline backup) into BWQ and rebuild my DB2 in BWQ. Please enlighten me.
Thanks,
Devan.

Hi
You can do it .The file system backup image can be mirroed into production system and by making using of "db2inidb" utility you can restore the whole database.

OS File System Backup

How i can take OS file system backup manually?-
which is the best mothod?
I know, we can use tar?
could anyone tell me which is the best method..
Thanks
KSV.DBA

In addition to the link mentioned above, do you have to rely on free solutions, or do you have a budget for a solution?
You can perform a complete OS level backup of your Oracle database when it is shutdown, or put the database into online backup mode, but need to review the Oracle documentation for limitations. The tools of choice for Oracle is RMAN, which does not require extra logging or backup mode.
You can use tar or rsync if you prefer to backup data to a shared storage through NFS or use tar to stream the data to an attached tape drive. There is plenty of information and tutorials on how to perform incremental backups on the web, and here tar incremental backup
