Help on failing RMAN backup please.

I have setup a nightly backup with the following script.
run {
allocate channel oem_backup_disk1 type disk format 'd:\mad3_nightly_backups\%U';
backup incremental level 1 cumulative as BACKUPSET tag 'MAD3_CUMULATIVE_BA_040506080003' database include current controlfile;
recover copy of database;
backup as BACKUPSET tag 'MAD3_CUMULATIVE_BA_040506080003' archivelog all not backed up delete all input;
report obsolete;
crosscheck backup;
crosscheck copy;
report need backup;
report unrecoverable;
release channel oem_backup_disk1;
But everytime I try to run this via OEM's nightly backup shedule, I get the error in the log below. But not able to identify what is causing the problem.
My database is currently about 300GB.
DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE = 2GB
FLASHBACK_ON = NO
Shoud I try and increase the DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE? If so to what? I would appriciate any help guys. Thanks.

Help needed on RMAN backup/recovery

Hi All,
I planning to implement the following backup strategy..
Online hotbackup is taking using RMAN without Recovery Catalog, Instead using controlfile autobackup to the repository. We the following backup schedules
1. Weekly full backup of database.
2. Daily Incremental backup with archive logs
And the backupset files created by the above schedule are stored in tape.
My Assumption:
As we are using control file autobackup, whenever i take full/incremental backup. the backup information will be stored in control file and the control files/spfile also will be backed up.
I did the following:
1. I have taken full backup(incr level=0) of database in the morning.
2. After taking the full backup, i did some transactions in one of the table.
3. Again, i have taken the incremental backup of the database.
4. All the backup pieces are stored in a tape.
My Doubt:
1. Now, controlfile will have information of full backup and incremental backup right?
2. If i restore the database in a new machine with these backups, both full backup files and incremental backup files are considered?
Thanks,
Praveen.

To answer your questions:
1. Now, controlfile will have information of full backup and incremental backup right?Yes.
2. If i restore the database in a new machine with these backups, both full backup files and incremental backup files are considered?YES.
HTH
Thanks

Help with icloud restoring backup please?

i had to send my iphone 5c for repair and they sent me a brand new 5c so when i turned it on i had to set the phone up again & I restored a backup from icloud that i backed up on the day just before i sent off my iphone to be repaired but the backup did not restore my data and history of the games apps i have on my iphone even though i did back up the games! does icloud not back up the data of games?
also when i connected my new phone to itunes there was no record of the backup i did on the day i sent off my old phone???

How the lock works is explained by Find My iPhone Activation Lock and Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner's account.
On YouTube you will find some videos helping bypassing the lock and get access to the contacts. With some luck you can contact the previous owner and force him to remove the iPhone from the devices list at icloud.com/find.

RMAN backup performance tuning

Hi All,
We have oracle 9iR2 two nodes RAC on solaris 9, I am looking for some helpful material on RMAN backup performance tuning, though i went through oracle's official RMAN performance tuning guide, still if there is some really nice material please let me know!
TIA

Oracle Material is the best.
Anyway, the one given below is also a good P&T book.

Please help me: Failed 8310 OS update to OS 4.5 via Desktop Manager

Hello BB Community,
As of this morning, I can't use my Blackberry curve 8310......for anything.
My problems started just as I was about to do a routine USB cable sync between my BB and Outlook.
I was informed by Desktop Manager v 4.7 that OS 4.5 is available.
I delayed the sync, and start the update process.
Everything............. except my BB restart and data reload.......... completed flawlessly.
Then a message says the update has failed, & the entire thing halts.
So, I wait a while then pull the USB cable & turn off the BB.
Turn on......the result was hourglass & white screen.
Removed & replaced battery....result was hourglass & white screen.
Restarted PC and connected BB...........result was hourglass & white screen & Desktop Manager does not recognise BB Connection, but Windows XP sees BB media minus folders.
Reinstalled Desktop manager....... still not recognising BB USB connection on the main screen.
Even though I have all the information saved in Outlook, I am getting desperate.
QUESTIONS:
Is there anything I can do to get my BB curve 8310 operational again?
Should I consider reloading an OS?
My phone is unlocked, so not sure if trying to download and reinstall an OS will LOCK the phone.
The unit's previous startup screen used to show a T-Mobile image.
Should I download the UK T-Mobile OS upgrade?
Blessed Regards,
2121311berry

Good luck, this will work... I have done it many times.
Be patient with JLCmder. If it does not work at first, keep trying, I have seen it take 20-25 tries before it "connected".
Try it with and without the battery inserted if you must.

RMAN backup is getting failed after oracle 11g upgarde (11.2.0.2)

Hi Basis Expert,
We have done oracle 11g ugrade (11.2.0.2) in our Dev BI system.
But after the upgrade the RMAN backup is failing. The backup use to work fine when we were on 10g (10.2.0.4).
Has anyone face this issue earlier.
Appreciate your help.
Regards,
Anil Shenoy

Hello Anil,
Syntax is -
ln -s /path/to/original/ /path/to/linkName
Output will be -
linkName --> original
In your case, 112_64 is the link name according to above SAP Note and 11202 is the original/physical path. So, the command should be -
ln -s /oracle/<DBSID>/11202 /oracle/<DBSID>/112_64
And the Result should be, 112_64 --> 11202 (in short)
So, I think you should change the existing link, 11202->112_64
Thanks

Oracle 9i RMAN backup filling up all disk and failing at the very end

Hello to all and thank you in advance for any input from any of you.
I am new in oracle and the only one in my company with a little bit of oracle knowledge, which is not a whole lot.
I inherited a few servers (Linux and Windows based). We mostly run all our production environment on a Linux box hosting oracle 10g release 10.2.0.1 but we had a legacy application server that still runs on 9i release 9.2.0.1.0. This server is a windows 2003 box, the previous DBA or someone else with admin rights to this machine compressed the whole drive where oracle resides, when I started summarying the oracle assets, I saw this server with no backups scheduled and a compressed disk with very limited space after this compression, only 13 GB left, the database if uncompressed would definitively filled up all the disk. The machine is in used and cannot be taken down for more than a couple of hours. We tried adding another disk but the machine only accept it as a hot spare. The database is in archive mode, when I tried to run a RMAN backup, it start filling up the database drive until it's empty and it crashes the whole machine, it seems like the buffer is growing and growing until it fills up the whole drive. The only way to get the server up and running again is to reboot the machine since the server is more than 6 years old we are not please with this action because we are afraid the machine would go south in one of those reboots.
Has anyone heard of similar issues when running RMAN on a compressed drive? Can the compressed disk have any involvement in this kind of odd behaviour? I tried running the backup in debug mode and creating a log in a different disk (the one where the backup is going to) and still the same issue. Again any help is much appreciate,
Sincerely,
Alex

Sybrand,
Thank you for your fast response, I am going to use your previous post to answer one by one your question,
1 The Oracle binaries --- on a compressed drive > Yes
2 The Oracle database control files redo log files and datafiles on that same compressed drive? > Yes
3 The archived redo log ditto? > Yes
I know for a fact (as I have been using that in 9i) you can create a RMAN backup on a compressed drive, and you can have your archived redo go to a compressed drive. No problemo! > Excellent good news!!!
But I would never touch the data files. Please note backup sets are multiplexed files consisting of multiple datafiles, so RMAN would need to do some calculations to decompress several blocks at the same time and to calculate a new block and compress it.
Do you have enough space to:
a) (preferred) to make datafile copies instead of a backup >
Not in the drive that hosts the oracle instance but yes on an external usb drive (1TB) I attached to use as a backup repository, maybe this is why I am having these issues. I only have 13 GB left on that drive where the oracle instance resides (actually as I explained in a previous reply to Mark, the server only has 3 slots for disks, two of them as configured as RAID 1 and the other is a hot spare because the RAID configuration manager cannot can only added as hot-spare. The raided disk are partitioned in two, one small partition is for the OS and the other is for the oracle instance). When you said make a copy of the datafiles, I assumed you are talking about doing manual backups, and copying the database after using using "alter tablespace tablespace_name begin backup; then copy the file; alter tablespace tablespace_name end backup;
b) use filesperset=1 on the backup command line, so the multiplexing (and associated calculations) stop. I have not tried the option of fileperset yet but I can tryi it and see if that helps.
Can you post the last few lines of the RMAN log where RMAN bombs out? Note: the last few lines. Not all of it, or you must send some paracetamol in conjunction! >
When I ran the debug option, I stopped the backup at less than 20% because I didn't want to reboot the system in the middle of the production time, the backup consumed at least 3 GB during the time was running. The times I ran the RMAN backup I didn't used the debug option so I don't have a log long enough to send unless you want the last few lines of what I have.
Thanks again for your input,
Sincerely,
Alex

OR
2. Configure for ArchiveLogs (create a target filesystem or FRA), set the database to ARCHIVELOG mode, monitor the volume of ArchiveLog generation, configure both Database and ArchiveLog backups.

Os x mavericks failed install -backup not working! need help

Having failed to install os x mavericks due to disc repair, which my mac says it cant, i decided to back up. After creating a 1TB partition in the mac extended journled and GUID format on my external harddisc, i still face an input/output error! please help! i need my files!especially the ones on my desktop, downloads and documents! Please help! My mac doesnt even start to access the files! All i have is utility disc and terminal! I need my files!
I never made a backup and I have a macbookpro
I have read about disc drill and other solutions! But how do i install disc drill in my mac that wont even open past the failed installation!

Please do not forget that i want to back up my files..
OK.
Do you have an external drive that you can temporarily use (it's going to get erased) if you don't I suggest that you get one.
Then, using IR you will install whatever was on the Mac originally on the external drive and boot from it, with luck you will be able to access your files, and more importantly make a copy of them so that you can erase the internal drive and start again.

Please help me with some backup questions....

After suffering through two hard drive failures (not my main drive, fortunately), and being frustrated with trying to keep everything backed up, I'm taking a fresh approach to everything and I plan to do the following:
1. Purchase a new, 2 TB hard drive (enterprise class - Can you guys recommend a reliable one?) and clone my existing main hard drive to it.
2. Purchase a second identical drive and install it in bay #2.
3. Likely purchase G-Technology's G-Safe with Raid 1 capability. Likely 3 TB just cause.
4. I'll keep my current 1 TB Hitachi Deskstar in the 3rd bay. It serves only my Sonos music system. (I wanted a separate drive for that so my regular drives weren't always running.)
So far so good. I plan on putting all my files on the one main 2 TB drive. (Formerly roughly 500 GB of music was on a separate internal drive, the one that's died twice now. Seagate Barracuda FYI.) I'll then clone the main drive to the identical drive in the 2nd bay and make it bootable as well. That's backup #1 and I plan on having it also updated regularly. (Incrementally, not a complete erase and rewrite, but still keeping it bootable.) I'll then hook up the Raid 1 drive and clone the main hard drive to that as well, also making it bootable. That will give me backup #2 and #3 (through mirroring). These drives will be backed up less often and when not being used, will be stored in a fire proof safe in the garage. So far so good, I think.
What I'm stuck on is what software to use for doing the cloning and more importantly, the backups.
For the cloning, I understand I can simply use the Restore function in the Disk Utility. Is this correct? Or am I better off using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner? If so, which one? And why?
For the regular backups, I have been using Retrospect but frankly, I'm less than impressed with their interface and I've never liked the fact that even if the backups aren't compressed, I can't see the files unless I do so through Retrospect. I can't just go to the backup drive and view the files. They're all hidden in the one Retrospect icon. So, I'm considering the following:
Time Machine: However, I was less than impressed with it in the past as it seemed to completely fill whatever drive I pointed it to and then it would fail to backup. I never could figure it out that well.
SuperDuper: I was just checking them out and it seems that it's not only a good cloner, but will also then keep that clone up to date and bootable on a regular basis. It really sounds like it's what I need. And the screen shots I saw on their site seem pretty well thought out and explain a lot.
Carbon Copy Cloner: I know this app has been around for a long time, though I've never used it. I'm presuming it's good for cloning a drive onto a larger drive, just as SuperDuper is, but can it do scheduled backups of that clone like SuperDuper can?
And in all cases, I want to keep both the second internal drive and the external RAID drives backed up from their original clonings. Can any of these programs handle ongoing backups to two or more destinations from the same source?
And finally, a last question or two:
To repeat my first question, who makes a really reliable enterprise class drive?
And has anyone had any experience with G-Technology's G-Safe with RAID 1?
Thanks much for all your help.
Oh, here's my system: Mac Pro tower, 2008 2.8 GHz, 10 GB ram. Dual Intel processors. Currently 10.5.8, soon to be 10.6.8.

Hitachi and Seagate both make enterprise class drives. Just visit their websites to find models.

I don't know what your desires are for backup redundancy, but I would create a two drive mirrored RAID for your main backup. This could consist of two identical hard drives mounted in your Mac Pro's slots (this is what I do.) Or you could purchase a two-drive external case and use Firewire. (I also do this.) Drive size should be determined by how large a drive(s) you are backing up and if you plan to use Time Machine. TM's backup device must be at least twice the size of the drive(s) it backs up.

If you are running Lion then do not use SuperDuper. It has not yet been updated for reliable use with Lion and cannot handle Lion's Recovery HD. Carbon Copy Cloner's recent beta release would be a good choice as would Synk Pro from Decimus, or Tri-Backup. All of these will clone a drive as well as perform scheduled backups/updates of a clone. But only CCC properly deals with Lion's Recovery HD at this time. All of these make essentially file by file copies from the source to the destination. One can easily restore a file or a few items without needing to use the backup utility since everything on the backup is accessible through the Finder.
TM is not able to create a bootable clone. It is an archival backup utility intended for home users needing basic, automatic, and simple to use backup software. Restoring software from a TM backup can only be done through the TM application.

Hey , why always when i want to update my Ipad to ios 6.1.3 at the end tills me that the update was failed , its always ,please if you can help me, and thank you.

Try disabling your firewall and antivirus software and see if that helps - if you are trying to update using iTunes on your computer.

RMAN backup fails using OEM with no output error

I am trying to do a weekly automatic full backup of a database in noarchivelog mode using RMAN in Enterprise Manager. Every time I submit the backup job (even if I try to do an immediate backup) the job fails almost immediately. When I Iook at the job output for the failed attempt, it says that there is no output for the job. I believe I have all of the preferred credentials and priveleges correct. Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem could be or maybe where I can find an error log for rman to get a better explanation of the error?
Thanks

please check in metalink.....

RMAN backup in RAC failing with error ORA-19566

Hi all, i have 2 node RAC and i am trying to take rman backup of the database which is in ASM filesystem.
There is a corruption in SYSAUX file and rman is failing to take backup of the sysaux datafile and error thrown at the end like

*ORA-19566: exceeded limit of 0 corrupt blocks for file +DATA/bloom/datafile/sysaux.257.775475317*
Then i tried to validate the backup in rman of the datafile sysaux nad fired the following query
SQL> SELECT * FROM v$database_block_corruption;
FILE# BLOCK# BLOCKS CORRUPTION_CHANGE# CORRUPTIO
3 32011 1 0 ALL ZERO

3 32034 1 0 ALL ZERO
3 28964 1 1399837 LOGICAL
3 32015 2 0 ALL ZERO
and found all the blocks in the table WRH$_SQL_PLAN.
Then dropped the table, and tried to take backup of the database and it is failing again with the same error..
ANY SOLUTION TO TAKE BACKUP OF THE DATABASE.
anyhow we can SET MAXCORRUPT FOR DATAFILE 3 to value, but does this works all time...
Thanks in advance,
TEJAS

Both are good suggestions, but

Open an SR.
Good luck.

Hello Tychos,
I am able to make a sqlplus connection, but your hint send me in the correct direction. I had a special character "@" in the password and I think that was the reason for my problems with RMAN.
