Generating a Onekey Backup

When attempting to make a Onekey image backup of C: drive the backup process stalls and locks the system at %33 done and at file Winpe.wim.
I believe thata a winpe file.
If I try the backup from a fresh reinstall of the default S10 system all seems to work.
This is on a New S10 USA model
Thanks

Less redo generates at the time of online backup using RMAN

Hi,
can someone eleborate that why less redo generates at the time of RMAN online backup in comparison of manual hotbackup.
Thanks

A manual hot backup (aka "OS backup" or "scripted backup") cannot handle fractured blocks. This happens when a backup command is copying out blocks from a datafile at the same time as DBWR is updating blocks. The Oracle Block Size (8KB) is generally a multiple of the OS Block size (512Bytes to 4KB or 8KB, depending on the filesystem / raw device and how the OS command copies blocks out). It is possible for DBWR to write 8KB and the OS backup utility to be concurrently reading the same Oracle block as, say, two different 4KB reads. The first half of the Oracle block may be read by one OS call and the second half by another OS call -- the two halves would be inconsistent with each other if Oracle were writing the database block at the same time.
(Therefore a restore of such a backup would give you an inconsistent -- i.e. fractured -- block, which would be logically corrupt).
In order to handle such issues, after a BEGING BACKUP is issued, for every first change to a database block, the whole block is written to the redo stream, not just the change vectors. (If the same database block is subsequently modified while in BACKUP mode, it is only the change vectors that have to be written to the redo stream). Once the END BACKUP is issued, the redo stream does not need to capture whole database blocks.
If such a backup is restored, it still has fractured blocks. However, when applying the ArchiveLogs generated during the Backup, each such fractured block is "automagically repaired" because a whole image is restored from the ArchiveLog. (Subsequent changes are replayed as changes through the change vectors).

Find how many archive logs are generated and backup through RMAN

friends,
how many arhcive logs are generating between 2 consecutive backups through RMAN.
Ur help is really appricated.
Thanks

Sorry, I misunderstood the question
I think you are not asking how many logs are generated since last backup. My initial repy was the answer for this
The answer of you question on 10G R2 is like below. Query groups your archivelog backup sessions and counts the logs in one session which is the number of generated archivelog file between two backup session/.
select session_key,count(sequence#) from V$BACKUP_ARCHIVELOG_DETAILS group by session_key order by 1 desc

Sharepoint full farm backup generates sql logs for search application differential backups

We are running full farm backups for sharepoint. Backup completes normally but SQL logs are generated for differential backups for search service application.
it says something like:
Database differential changes were backed up: database: search_serv.......
Thanks,
Basit

This can happen for a few reasons, such as is disk contention or network issues. Are you backing up to a shared directory on the SQL Server? If not, try that.

Database open fails after online backup recovery

Hi Friends
We are trying to set up an additional server using the online backup of our DEV server. We have been following SAP Note 549828 for the same. Having restored the online backup, the open database failed.
To resolve the same, in accordance to SAP Note 549828, we created a backup control file with success using the command
create controlfile reuse set database DEV resetlogs noarchivelog
However on issuance of the command
RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCEL
we run into an error as to
ORA-00279: change 794638222 generated at 10/25/2007 12:43:20 needed for thread 1
ORA-00289: suggestion : /oracle/DEV/oraarch/DEVarch1_9766.dbf
ORA-00280: change 794638222 for thread 1 is in sequence #9766
Specify log: {<RET>=suggested | filename | AUTO | CANCEL}
ORA-00308: cannot open archived log '/oracle/DEV/oraarch/DEVarch1_9766.dbf'
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
SVR4 Error: 2: No such file or directory
Additional information: 3
ORA-01547: warning: RECOVER succeeded but OPEN RESETLOGS would get error below
ORA-01194: file 1 needs more recovery to be consistent
ORA-01110: data file 1: '/oracle/DEV/sapdata1/system_1/system.data1'
We even manually copied the file system.data1 from the source to the target server but to no avail.
Also the SQL command
SELECT FILE#, CHANGE# FROM V$RECOVER_FILE
displays a different change# for system.data1 while it is showing same number for all other datafiles.
Please advice at the earliest as we are struck. Points awaiting their master.
Regards
Lokesh Gupta

Some inputs addition to Erics comments
The problem is you dont have archives ie Offline redo logfiles in correct location.
/oracle/DEV/oraarch/DEVarch1_9766.dbf Here DEVarch1_9766 is archive file which is misssing from location /oracle/DEV/oraarch. To recover DB you need Archives generated during hot backup.
Generally these steps willl give you desired result.
select * from v$logfile;
We normally switch the log files to the number of log groups that exist
alter system switch logfile;
create a Backup directory to hold our hot back datafiles and Archives
When the backup is complete check the backup location to see if all the files are available. We could now either FTP the same to the other system or copy over these files to another location in case of cloning on the same system.
Copy over all the files to their respective filesystems and directories and then edit the file that was created using the backup controlfile to trace. Copy that file to the remote system and edit it accordingly.
check that all the files are in the right location and edit that information in the control file
Once the controlfile is run successfully and you get the statement processed, we can start applying the archive logs that we have moved to the archive log destination directory as per the init<sid>.ora file.
do a recover of the database to its consistent state
recover database using backup controlfile until cancel;
The create control file command only changes the structure of the database and the SID name, the header of the datafiles still hold all the required information. The above command would ask you to input the archive log file names one by one to do recovery or you could choose the AUTO option. Once the recovery process is complete, open the database with the resetlogs option

How to keep multiple backups of an iphone in itunes

I have two iPhones, both of which are iPhone 4 with latest iOS 6.1.2. Everytime I connect one iPhone with iTunes on my windows-based computer, it generates a new backup on the computer thus now there exist more than ten backups of this iPhone (labeled with different dates in iTunes->Preference->Devices). However, everytime I connect the other iPhone with iTunes, it updates the latest backup on the computer thus now there exist only two backups of that iPhone. I've not found any setting different betwee those two iPhones. Since sometimes I need to restore iPhone from an old backup, how can I explicitly ask iTunes to keep multiple backups like the former iPhone?
I know this can be done manually if I rename the corresponding backup folder in ...\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup. I'm just looking a more "automatic" way in iTunes setting.
Thanks.

Hi Venkat,
Why u want to do with CM25?
Do you have to do splitting before dispatching the operations?
If not you can do the same through CM27
Just need to select all the operations of the order(By pressing shift) then click on Dispatch(press F5)
Still iam doubtful about your question,pls revert

Problem in recovery from RMAN backup in case of disk failure

Hi
I have Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 on Windows. Full Hot RMAN backup of database is scheduled on daily basis. I am taking backup on disks. And then i do manually copy them on tapes. If any disk failure occurs than can i recover database completely in this scenario. If tried restoing that backup on different machine as given below
set ORACLE_SID=<name>
rman target sys/<pwd>@ORACLE_SID nocatalog
startup nomount
restore spfile
create pfile from spfile
startup nomount pfile
alter database mount
restore database
Everything worked fine till above steps. Now i will execute last step.
recover database
Here it gives error:-RMAN-06054: media recovery requesting unknown log: thread 1 scn 264750
Still i typed
alter database open resetlogs
Now i can open my database, But is it recovered completely? Or there is loss of some data? Why it is giving this error?
Thanks in advance. Waiting for reply.

I can understand the confusion with this whole concept.
What I meant by all archivelogs is all the archivelogs that were backed up with the backup itself. Again, it is essential to ensure that you archive the current redo log AFTER the backup is performed and then back those archivelogs too. Good thing is, RMAN will take care of this for you if you backup the archivelogs with the BACKUP DATABASE command and/or backup the archivelogs AFTER you run the BACKUP DATABASE command.
Once you've mounted the controlfile and CATALOG the archivelogs, you can go into SQL*Plus and issue the following query:
select SEQUENCE#, FIRST_CHANGE#, NEXT_CHANGE# from v$archived_log
order by FIRST_TIME;This will tell you what archivelog is the latest. Logs generated during the backup may also provide the necessary information. Performing Disaster Recovery should help to understand the full process.
The ONLINELOG directory in FRA is only populated if you've configured your redo logs to be stored there. However, you are on 9i...right? If so 9i doesn't utilize a FRA.

Setting up C340 20" non touch all in one pc/backup questions

Hello there I have just bought two C340's and I am nervious about setting them up, I have gone through the prompts and it says I am up and running now. But as it came with windows 8 preinstalled I don't know if I should be backing up Windows 8? I says stuff in the instructions about if you install you own OS to create a partition otherwise if you install it in c drive it will be wiped as part of the onetouch backup? But I am not sure if I have read this correctly. Should I be creating a recovery disk..of the OS or other parts? If so how? I also got a disk which says 'drivers' but it was never asked for in the basic setup prompts, and the pc says it is ready to use, so am I to suppose this is a spare copy? Lastly I have read alot on this forum about the re-sizing/repartitioning the c drive and the effect this has on the onekey back up. I don't know if this also applies to my C340 but it scares the hell out of me, I daren't touch anything now, and if the same applies to my pc than the other people having c:/d: drive/onekey backup issues should I be saving everything to the d drive as the c drive is nonexistant, fills up fast and stops the onekey dead? Thanks in advance.

hi confuseddotcom,
Welcome to the Lenovo Community.
Regarding your questions:
1. For a brand new PC, It's highly recommended to create a recovery disc so that in event of a system crash, you can always restore the computer to factory defaults. Check this guide on how to create a recovery disc on Windows 8. As an alternative, you can use Aomei Partition Assistant Home Edition or EaseUS Disk Copy Home Edition to clone the HDD.
2. The driver disc contains softwares and drivers for your Lenovo C340. I recommend you keep this disc just in case to save you the hassle of downloading the drivers on the lenovo website.
3. If you're PC came with a 500GB or 1TB HDD and has partitions, you can save your files on the partition that has more free space. If you resize the partitions by using disk management, the OKR functionality might get corrupted. Make sure to check this guide on how to create a recovery disc on Windows 8.before you resize the partition.
Hope this helps.

When will BRE [Backup restartable Extensions] be available in Ontap Cluster mode ?

Hi Folks, When will BRE [Backup restartable Extensions] be available in Ontap Cluster mode. With 7-mode there is no issue, we can suspend and restart backup from the checkpoint, however with Ontap cluster mode version 8.3 I am currently running, this is not possible [I guess all versions]. If the Job is suspended in cluster mode, session ID is lost and new session ID is generated when the backup is resumed, in other words data backup starts from begining. Is this something will be available in Onap 8.4 cluster mode ? Thanks,
-Ashwin

Hi, Yeah, you are right - 8.3RC1 is older than 8.3P1.
8.3 Releases:
8.3RC1 ----> old release [I already tested - dump restart does not work]
8.3RC2
8.3
8.3P1 -----> Customer already is on higher update and it still dosent work
8.3P2
8.3.1RC1 ---> Latest release
My confusion has only increased now as far as when this BUG is fixed Or if at all fixed?
http://mysupport.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=1472 According to this BUG, this is already fixed in all versions of 8.3. I am currently running 8.3RC1 Simulator and suspending a Job is causing NDMP session ID to end. In 7-mode: When we suspend a Job from Backup Software, NDMP session ID is not lost and when you run Backup status command, it shows -> State : RESTARTABLEThe key word is 'RESTARTABLE' which dosent seem to work in cluster mode.
The NDMP Backup Restart Extension (BRE) interface is a proprietary extension defined in class 0x2050
According to NDMP.org:
NDMP_BRE_RESTART_BACKUP:
This request is used by the backup application (DMA) to instruct the Data Server to restart a previous backup operation at a specific point in the backup stream. Request arguments include a handle to a previously created backup context, the restart point specified as an absolute offset within the backup stream, and a file history entry corresponding to the restart point.The backup restart mechanism requires that the Data Server generate file history information and that the Data Server implementation of file history generate fh_info values as absolute byte offsets within the backup stream. The backup application determines restart points by accessing the Tape Server NDMP_MOVER_GET_STATE bytes_moved value at appropriate ‘checkpoints’ during the original backup operation. A checkpoint represents a known good point in the backup operation. BRE extensions are bydefault disabled, I enabled by setting it 'true' yet its not working. CMODE83RC1::*> ndmp extensions show
(vserver services ndmp extensions show)Is Extension 0x2050 Enabled: true Thanks,

Cold backup using script

Dear all,
I need a script to take cold backup of oracle database 10.2.0.3.0 .. such that if todays date is 28-oct-08.. then a folder with the name 28oct08 to be created in the backup location.then using the script user should login to the database shutdown the db and listener and make sure this is completely down and copy the complete oracle files and home location to the above mentioned folder in the server.. any links or points will help a lot ?
Kai

Kai, rather than write a script to perform a cold backup for whatever platform you are on I suggest you write a script to generate the cold backup script. The script can connect to the database, read various v$ and dba views such as dba_data_files to get the necessary data file information, and place the file names into OS copy commands. The resulting script should probably include steps to connect to and stop the database and to restart the database instance when it is complete.
Be sure to include a copy of your control file and the spfile in your backup. You do not need to include the online redo logs in your manual cold backup.
An alternate might be to run an rman backup while the database is in restricted session depending on how freely your site has given out the DBA role and/or restricted session privilege.

PIT recovery until time when database was in backup mode

Hello,
Is it possible to recover database until some point/time which is within "time window" when database tablespaces were still in online backup mode?
I was basicaly replicatying database from source to target DB by putting DB to online backup mode, then copy all datafiles, after copy of datafiles was finished I started applying redologs generated on source DB afterwards. After I applied tens of redologs with "recover database until cancel using backup controlfile" and then typed "CANCEL" after 10-20 redologs applied I still got an error that opening DB would get an error due to inconsistent datafile. When I ended backup mode on source DB and applied few of redologs after ending backup mode on source DB datafiles were consistent.....
Thx a lot for answer in advance.

Hello Hemant K Chitale ,
thats clear. I probably did not express it clearly, so I will describe it once again:
Teoreticall scenario 1:
I put 'source" database to backup mode and start copy datafiles to "target" db. When copy of all datafiles is succesfully finished (lets say it 5:00AM), I don't issue "end backup" on source DB but I keep tablespaces in backup mode until 7:00AM. On target DB I will start recovery and apply redologs from source system.
Question 1:Is it possible to recover database until time 6:00AM? At this time all datafiles were already succesfully copied, BUT source db was still in backup mode. Or will I be able to get target DB to consistent state only after 7:00AM (end backup issuied on source DB) and not in window 5:00AM-7:00AM?
Teoreticall scenario 2 (small correction comparing to scenario1):
I will put source DB to begin backup mode at 5:00AM on 20.february and let it in this state until 7:00AM on 20.february. On target DB I will restore backup from source DB performed day before (or few days before does not matter) that means on 19.february and start to apply redologs generated after this backup.
Question 2: Will I be able to recover DB until 6:00AM on 20.february and open database after recovery until this time? Or wont I be able to recover and open DB witin window 20.february 5:00AM-7:00AM (source db in backup mode)
Bear in mind this is just teoreticly (don't ask me why would you do it and why you don't do it this way etc...). I just want to understand how it really works ;)
Thx a lot!

RMAN and consistent backup

Hi,
in10g, I stop my DB and make a cold backup of my database (it's then a consistent backup).
Can RMAN use this backup ? How ?
Thank you.

Yes, you can use a Cold Backup that was not taken by RMAN -- provided that you have the controlfile included in the backup. In RMAN you'd have to CATALOG each of the files in the backup as DATAFILE COPYies before RMAN can be "aware" of them.
If the backup was taken with an OS command, you simple use the revers e to restore it. If your backup did not include the Online Redo Logs, you'd need to use
STARTUP MOUNT
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER
CANCEL
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGSin SQLPlus.
If you want to Apply ArchiveLogs generated after the backup, then don't open resetlogs !
continue with
RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCELand CANCEL when you have applied the last available archivelog, after which you will
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGSHemant K Chitale

Hi Manu
Have found an error message that was generated when the backup completed. It's pasted below. I've removed the link in "Event xmlns" to be able to post it here.

LMS 3.2 Scheduled Backups

Hi Guys,
I have LMS 3.2, I'm doing periodic configuration backups for the devices added to LMS which are switches, firewalls and Wireless LAN controllers. I did an immediate backup to check if it's working properly and the backup was stored in Backup\0\ directory but when browsing there I found the folders shown in the snapshot attached. When browsing through "rmeng" folder I found the "filebackup.tar" I checked this folder and browsed through this path:
\PROGRA~1\CSCOpx\files\rme\dcma\shadow\Switches_and_Hubs\PRIMARY
I found the configuration backup there for the devices but when opening in text file they were like rubbish values and not an organized backup. Why that happens? Why LMS don't generate the configuration backups normally? or Am I doing something wrong here?>
Thanks in advance,
Mohammad

Hi Mohammad,
config backup path is correct :: \PROGRA~1\CSCOpx\files\rme\dcma\shadow\Switches_and_Hubs\PRIMARY
Did you tried opening in and Editor like notepad++
Thanks-
