Recovery of VHD file from tape immediately gives null error, ID 1001, and job fails.

I am attempting to recover a VHD from tape. When I finish the recovery wizard and it starts to create the job, I get an immediate popup error with an ID: 1001 and a "More Information" link that goes to a "page not found" on technet.
There is no actual errror message or other info in the dialog box. When I click ok, the dialog and recovery wizard disappear, and no job seems to have been created.
I've seen a couple of other posts about this, but didn't find any solutions. I did run a tape verification against the recovery point in question, and it completed. (I don't see where it says passed/failed, just completed. I assume the
job would have failed if it found a problem?)
I've also tried a couple of other recovery points, on different tapes, but am getting the same results.
Any idea what is going wrong?

Hi,
Can you provide DPM version and update rollup version. Are there any events from MSDPM after the error, if so, can you supply the event details ?
As a workaround, you can restore the VHD by going to Management>Tape Library>Right Click on the Tape>select backup set for the data source containing the VHD and then click on the COPY button. That will restore to
a network location and you can then copy it to the hyper-v server and replace the VHD manually.

RMAN recovery from tape and disk?

Hey Guys,
Here is my scenario: -
I have Oracle 10g and I am using RMAN to backup to disk and then I use Networker to backup on tapes from disk (retention is set to 30 days on tapes). On RMAN - my retention policy is set to recovery window of 5 days after which it deletes the obsolete backup from disk and updates the control file.
My Questions:
1. If I have to recover any datafile or tablespace 20 days ago how can I restore it on Production. Since I am also backing up control files on tapes but my current control file will not have 20 days old information. Is there any way that I can restore my old backup?
2.How can I test my tape backup which is older than 5 days. In other words how can I restore my database from tape on another server/
Please suggest.

If you need to restore the whole database to a point in time that is 20 days old, you "only" need:
1. to identify the right control file backup
2. restore this control file backup with Networker
3. start the instance in mount mode
4. list required datafiles and archived redo logs backup sets listed in this control file with LIST BACKUP
5. restore these backup sets with Networker
6. restore and recover database with RMAN with the right SET UNTIL clause.
If you need to restore only 1 tablespace, that's Tablespace Point In Time Recovery (TSPITR) and is another story.
I don't think you can only restore 1 datafile that is 20 days old and leave other datafiles up-to-date (unless there is only 1 datafile in the tablespace and in this case this is TSPITR).

How to restore a Rman backup from Tape

Hi,
We need to restore the database backup taken through RMAN on 24-JUNE-2013 from tape as this backup is not currently available on disk.
Can you please help me on the following,
1) how i can check if the same backup on 24-JUNE-2013 is available on Tape.
2) If yes how i can restore to Disk.
Because we need to create a new Clone instance from the backup taken on 24-JUNE-2013.
We are having 12.1.3 Application on Exalogic and 11.2.0.3 Database on Exadata machine.
Our support is highly appreciated.
Thanks

Database Restore & Recovery from tape

Hi Fellows
I'm about to attempt a recovery from backup tape to a test server, as a 'tape recovery' test. The files I've marked for recovery include (directories including all sub-tree);
Datafiles directory
$ORACLE_HOME/sid/ directory where the sid is the database sid
Control Files
adump, Bdump, cdump and udump directories
Archivelogs directory
Flashrecovery area directory
Redo logs directory
initfile and spfile
With these files recovered (from one point in time), and the dbconsole shut down prior to restore (for the sid) should the database be able to startup afterwards? Is there any other actions I should make? Thanks, David

Thanks for your responses Alok and Santosh
I'm pretty sure the files I have selected should be able to recover the database. The recovery, I think is rightly said, can only be done within Oracle. I'll look into a test of RMAN (I know it should be better) recovery once I've tested this as a 'straight from tape' recovery.
Thanks again, David
Alok and Santosh
I thought I'd put this in as 'aftermath' of the attempted recovery;
I had the server team restore the files stated (basically everything - redo, archivelogs, datafile, controlfiles, init and sp files, even the dump files) - and repalced them into directories made the same as the other server. When I started it, I was able to go into a 'Oracle Suggested' full database recovery, which was successful. I then checked the expdp dump files, 1 taken at the same time of backup as rman - and one directly after the restore), and compared rows - exactly the same. So appears to have worked.
Many thanks, David

Splitting events when capturing footage from tape

Using Final Cut Pro x, I want to capture footage from tape which is of a more then one event. what is the best way of doing this so as to avoid all of the footage captured as one event.

One way of doing this is to simply go into the Import from Camera window and select the clips that belong to one event then hit the Import Selection button. A window will come up asking you which event you want to import to and also give you the option to create a new event. After the little clocks fill up on each of the selected clips, that import is done. Now you can select the other clips and import them in the same way specifying a new event when you are asked where they are to go. Best wishes.

How much loss in capturing from tape?

Looks like the days of tape are numbered. If they haven't already, everyone will be using tapeless formats before too long. I have a large library of HD (miniDV format) tape. When clients want raw footage, I copy tape-to-tape using two camcorders and send a copy of the raw footage. That will soon be impossible, because no one will be able to play the tapes. What's left is to use CS4 to capture the tape footage directly to a hard drive or memory stick and send that. I have no idea how much loss of data there is doing that, and hope someone might have some numbers to share.
Thanks.

A Firewire transfer from tape to computer is a copy operation... so there is no loss of quality
Of course, those files are "about" 13Gig per hour for DV (I don't know the size for HDV) so sending a file to someone is going to mean several DVD's to write the files, in 4Gig segments, or copying to a USB hard drive and sending that back and forth

Preferred video format...from tape to...?

I have a client that will transcode from tape to digital file for me. Since I want great quality video what is the best format and specs I should ask them to deliver so I can edit directly with FCP?

Depends on the tape format. DV, HDV, DVCPRO HD...all can be captured natively. Digibeta, Beta, HDCAM, D5...all need to be captured into another format...Uncompressed.
So...what have you got?

When I capture from tape, express 4 now breaks my captured material into separate shots, an icon in the browser for each. Before it captured the whole clip till I hit escape, and created just one Icon. How to i get back the way it was.

When I capture material from tape with final cut express 4, it used to create one icon for the whole clip. Now, when i capture, it breakes the material down into many browser icons, shot by shot. I dont want that. How to I return to what I ahd before/

What you describe is normal behavior for HDV capture using FCE.
DV captures as one clip or may split the clip if there are timecode breaks on the tape.
HDV always breaks clips at the shot changes using FCE.
HDV cameras can downconvert to DV even if HDV was used to record the footage so it's important to know what the camera outputs during FCE capture.
Maybe this is why you have had mixed results with the differing capture windows?

Try boot -m verbose and see if it provided any clues.

I'm not aware of any "generic" solaris 10 issues in this area, so its probably something specific to your environment.

Restore controlfile from tape backup without autobackup setting on

I am testing a scenraio of restoring control file if we loose all control files.
My RMAN settings for CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP is OFF. But, I have taken a backup of controlfile using 'BACKUP CURRENT CONTROL FILE' .
When I tried to restore control file. I am receiving following error:

RMAN-06563: control file or SPFILE must be restored using FROM AUTOBACKUP
My question is, How can I restore control file from tape backup without CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP setting ON.
It sounds like, There is no way we can restore control file from tape backup if you've not set the CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP is ON.
Please advice

When all controlfiles are lost and a recovery catalog is NOT used, RMAN has no information , where to find the controlfile backup. It's not enough to specify the channel, such a channel could hold many different backups from many different databases. You have tell , which database and which backupset. Modify your run block:
SET DBID <DBID of the database,for which you want to restore the controlfile>;
RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM <name_of_backupiece_which_contains_the_controlfile backup>';

Restore backupsets from tape.

Hi,
We are on a 2 node RAC cluster, ASM. We run backups through rman.
Scenerio:
Rman backup runs and create backupsets in ASM diskgroup. We again run a tape backup to backup the backupsets to tape and delete the backupset from disk.
My question:
How can i restore the backupsets back to disk, if i have to restore a database?
I use the following to backup the backupsets to tape:
backup backupset completed before 'sysdate-2' delete input
But i'm not sure of what command to use to restore the backupsets back from tape to disk if i need to restore the database? Any help appriciated.
Thanks
Karthik

Hi,
You are keeping latest backups on disk and in case of any Disk failure, when you run RESTORE/RECOVER it will use the backups from disk.
In case if RMAN need more files then automatically restores needed archived logs from tape to disk during recovery.
Please keep backups in a separate ASM diskgroup, which should not contain active database files such as datafiles, control files, and online redo logs.

Restore FRA from tape backup

I have got a 2 node RAC cluster.
I am running RMAN backup connecting to one of the nodes and then running RMAN backups to FRA.
Since I cannot backup ASM to tapes just like a normal file system, I have configured the MML to backup the FRA to tapes using "backup recovery area" command.
The FRA backup to tapes is successful.
Now if ever I need to restore / recover the database, how do I restore my backups from tape.
ie: I dont see a command to say -> restore recovery area , which will restore the backups to FRA.Or is there a way ?
If it cannot restore , then what is the point of backing up the FRA to tapes using the above command.
Any thoughts ?
AU

Just try to restore database/tablespace/datafile using usual RMAN commands: RMAN will check if FRA is used and check if related backup is on disk or on tape. If backup is on tape, RMAN will read it using Media Manager Layer (MML) in a transparent way.

Restore NDS from Tape

I need to restore NDS from tape.
There is not NDS backup (Arcserve 9.01).
Can it be restored from files ?

Ah, well, maybe with SBS it is an option (no idea, never used that
product) and if it's a single-server tree you at least shouldn't be
corrupting your tree by doing so but the hardest part will be your backup.
If it does that, go for it but if not you'll need to recreate the tree or
find another backup. If you ever ran `dsrepair -rc` you may have a backup
in sys:/system/dsr_dib as I recall that can be restored by Novell.
Good luck.

Recovery from Tape

Hi Guru(s),
Can any one tell me the procedure that, how to restore a backup data from Tape.
Because i have taken the database backup on Tape.
waiting for your kind response.
Regards,
Rajeev K

And how did the rman backup get on tape? Did you have rman write directly to tape or were the rman backup files copied to tape manually?
If rman wrote the backup directly to tape then rman should be able to restore directly from tape, which means you have an rman compatiable tape management system, which again you have not bothered to identify!
As a general rule before posting stop and think of everything someone would need to know to answer your question then post that information in your initial post. Often that means the actual Oracle commands in question and Oracle response. If someone asks you three or four questions about your information when you respond do not answer just one or two of the questions but instead provide all requested information.
If you manually copied the backup files to disk then you just copy them off tape back to the location where the disk files were written by rman and then your use rman to restore the database.
