Hot Backup with RMAN question.

Hi all.
We want to make a full backup with RMAN every night with the db up. Version 9i in archive log mode.
My question is if with the command:
backup database plus archivelog delete input format 'MY_FORMAT_STRING';
will store all the files needed for the recovery in one file or I need to backup some other file or do more actions. The backup will be consistent?
Regards.

By using this command you are only taking the backup
all the database files plus all the archived logs
needed for point on recovery.
But still you will have to take the backup of Control
file and parameter files. Which you do by configuringi think its not
RMAN> configure controlfile autobackup off
2> ;
old RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
new RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP OFF;
new RMAN configuration parameters are successfully stored
RMAN> backup database
2> ;

RMAN>backup database backup controlfile as well spfile but its better backup control file separately after backing up the database plus archivelog cause a backup set info within control file which will not be in control file which is just backed up by backup database .

Restore incremental backup with rman

Dear Friends
can u tell me how to restore an incremental backup with rman? i backup my rman with statement below :
1. backup full database format '/oracle/PRD/sapbackup/%U';
the results was :
-rw-r----- 1 oraprd dba 19006996480 Jun 10 12:08 0ojiit4n_1_1
-rw-r----- 1 oraprd dba 12746752 Jun 10 12:08 0pjiiu6b_1_1
2. after that i do incremental backup :
backup incremental level 1 cumulative database format '/oracle/PRD/sapbackup/%U';
the results was :
-rw-r----- 1 oraprd dba 173400064 Jun 10 13:44 0ujij2k0_1_1
-rw-r----- 1 oraprd dba 12746752 Jun 10 13:44 0vjij3qc_1_1
what statement i need to run for restore the incremental backup?

run{
ALLOCATE CHANNEL c1 DEVICE TYPE DISK;
RESTORE DATABASE;
RECOVER DATABASE;
The above command will restore your database from the last good RMAN backup. Your last backup is incremental level backup as you posted. The above command will fullfill your requirements

Rman is so feature rich and yiou can integrate your third party backup software with rman to take backups, there is nothing to worry in your case, this is very much in the reach.

Full Hot Backup using RMAN?

Dear all,
I want to take a full hot backup every week on sunday and the followings are the commands.
run
allocate channel ch1 type disk format '/db/BACKUP/RMAN/backup_%d_%t_%s_%p_%U.bck';
backup
incremental level 0
database
plus archivelog delete input;
backup current controlfile;
backup spfile;
release channel ch1;
I have the following questions:
1) Am I need to define a directory named as "'/db/BACKUP/RMAN/backup_%d_%t_%s_%p_%U.bck", so that the backup copies will put it here,right?
2) What format needs to be save in where and how to run it on weekly schedule basis?
3) I saw above script with "channel ch1", can I change it to "channel ch2"?
I am a beginner using RMAN, please let me know.
Best Regards,
amy

Which database version on which OS (looks like Unix/Linux)?
You have to create the directory '/db/BACKUP/RMAN', 'backup_%d...' is the filename created by RMAN.
%d Specifies the name of the database;
%t Specifies the backup set time stamp, which is a 4-byte value derived as the number of seconds elapsed since a fixed reference time. The combination of %s and %t can be used to form a unique name for the backup set;
%s Specifies the backup set number. This number is a counter in the control file that is incremented for each backup set. The counter value starts at 1 and is unique for the lifetime of the control file. If you restore a backup control file, then duplicate values can result. Also, CREATE CONTROLFILE initializes the counter back to 1;
%p Specifies the piece number within the backup set. This value starts at 1 for each backup set and is incremented by 1 as each backup piece is created;
%U Specifies a system-generated unique filename (default).
For scheduling a cron job could be defined or you use Enterprise Manager (10g and higher)
Channel name doesn't matter.

Frequency of Hot backups using RMAN

Hello.
After years of running various inhouse utilities to backup our Oracle databases we are now going to implement RMAN in our shop. We are running Oracle 10.2.0.4 EE databases on Solaris servers in Archivelog mode, so we'd like to perform "hot" backups. A caveat to this is that we also have "standby" databases that we manually manage via a series of scripts that works rather well and helps our CIO sleep at night.
So what we're trying to do is tackle one obstacle at a time. We'd like to implement RMAN hot backups (including archivelogs) without having RMAN remove the archivelog backups that are out there. We simply want RMAN to backup the archivelog files, we'll manage their movement and removal ourselves for the time being.
The script I have put together simply issues: Backup database plus archivelog format='/dumps/rman/F_Database_%d_set%s_%T_%U';
The configuration settngs (we want at least a 2 day recovery period) are:
RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 2 DAYS;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/dumps/rman/controlfiles/%F';
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 2 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET;
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/dumps/rman/W_Database_%d_set%s_%T_%U';
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE OFF; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM 'AES128'; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBY;
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/xora01/app/oracle/product/10g/dbs/snapcf_glprd.f'; # default
We are using an RMAN catalog.
So my question is, if I perform the backup of the database (using the above command) once or twice a week and back-up only the archivelogs on a daily basis, would I be covered and save space at the same time? I think this might cover me as far as the archivelogs are concerned as well until my management is more comfortable with RMAN and allows us to install/use Data Guard.
Thanks for you opinions/suggestions...

Hi,
So my question is, if I perform the backup of the database (using the above command) once or twice a week and back-up only the archivelogs on a daily basis, would I be covered and save space at the same time? I think this might cover me as far as the archivelogs are concerned as well until my management is more comfortable with RMAN and allows us to install/use Data Guard.Your idea also not bad to save disk space. it is also depends on database size and space availability on your server.
or else you can go for weekly once fulll backup, remaining days incremental backups & archivelog backups.
rman incremental backups take only chanegd blocks so it wont occupy much space
1) sunday - full backup - level 0
2) monday - inc1 & arch
3) tuesday - inc2 & arch
4) wednesday - inc1 & arch
5) thursday - inc2 & arch
6) friday - inc1 & arch
7) saturday - inc2 & arch... & so on...
Thanks

Restoring a Hot backup using RMAN on a different server.

Hi
we are using oracle 10.2.0.4.0 on solaris 10 and using a separate catalog for RMAN backups.
we have taken a production db Hot backup as follows
level 0 backup on 28 th dec.
level 1 on 29,
level 1 on 30 and
level 1 on 31 st.
now today in the month of feb .
we would like to create a dev. DB on a diffent server which has diffent directory structure, i have to create a db using the above backups to setup the db like on 31 st Jan.
could you please provide the steps and advice how do i proceed.
Thansk fot the help.

Make level 0 and level 1 backups + control files backups + archived redo logs backup available on new host and use RMAN DUPLICATE.

Raw device backup with rman

I would like to backup our Oracle9i db(raw device) with rman.
Is such a thing possible?

Yes, you can use RMAN to take the backup of database sitting on raw devices And you can use OSB to take the backup on tape.

Incremantal Backups with RMAN

Hello, I was wondering if RMAN incremental backups are cumulative? If I do incrementals every night, would each night consist of every thing since the last full backup? Here is the script that I am using to perform my nightly incremental backups:
Retention policy is 7 days.
run{
allocate channel c1 device type disk format 'F:\rman_backups\ incremental\rman_incr_%n_%T_%s_%p.bak';
backup level 1 database plus archivelog;
allocate channel for maintenance device type disk;
delete archivelog until time 'sysdate - 7' backed up 2 times to disk;
delete obsolete device type disk;
Thank you

Hi David
What do you mean with "different backup levels"? The differences between the cumulative and the differential backup or what "has been backed up" after a level 1 (cumulative/differential) backup?
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96565/rcmsynta9.htm#78484
INCREMENTAL LEVEL = integer
Copies only those data blocks that have changed since the last incremental integer backup, where integer is any integer from 0 to 4. For example, in a level 2 backup RMAN backs up all blocks used since the most recent level 2, level 1, or level 0 backup.
This type of incremental backup is also called a differential backup to distinguish it from a cumulative backup.
A level 0 backup must exist as the base backup for an incremental strategy. An incremental backup at level 0 is identical in content to a full backup, but unlike a full backup the level 0 backup is considered a part of the incremental strategy.
If no level 0 backup exists when you run a level 1 or higher backup, then RMAN makes a level 0 backup automatically.
Oracle performs checks when attempting to create an incremental backup at a level greater than 0.
These checks ensure that the incremental backup is usable by a subsequent RECOVER command. Among the checks performed are:
* A level 0 backup set must exist, or level 0 datafile copies must exist for each datafile in the BACKUP command. These backup sets must not be marked UNAVAILABLE.
If no level 0 backup exists, then RMAN automatically generates one.
* Sufficient incremental backups taken since the level 0 must exist and be available such that the incremental backup to be created is usable.
If you specify INCREMENTAL, then in the backupSpec clause you must set one of the following parameters: DATAFILE, DATAFILECOPY, TABLESPACE, or DATABASE.
RMAN does not support incremental backups of control files, archived redo logs, or backup sets.
Note: You cannot make inconsistent incremental backups when the database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode.
Hence, you cannot generate incremental backups when a NOARCHIVELOG database is open and in use.Here you can find the "top" description about "Incremental Backups";

RAC backup with RMAN...put backup on diff file system

hello all,
I have not work a lot on SAN storages. One of my client has implementated 9i RAC. Now he wants to Add two more disk in SAN storage (Implemented RAID). So sun engineers will do this but before this i have to take full database backup(80GB database) throught RMAN. The problem or confussion from my side is that the database is on Sun SAN storage and i have to put the Full database backup taken by RMAN on local hard disk on the node (node 1 of rac). Is the possible since the SAN storage is RAW file system (as i guess) and i am putting the backup on local system.
Please help me out ...i have do this in couple of days..
Please tell me prosedure too to how to change the path of backup in RMAN if above is possible..
Its urgent
Thanks and Regards!!
Pankaj Rawat

Two things:
1) You will not have any problems taking RMAN backup for RAC and raw devices. None of them make your backups any different.
2) Based on your post, you are not very confident in your RMAN skills and this is your real problem. What is a must for you - take the backup, copy it on another machine and try to restore from it. Note, that you should NOT look at your original database during restore or take any files from there (even init.ora or spfile). If you don't have this done and don't have exact procedure - consider your backup as useless. This is a conservative approach but believe me - it's wort it when you SAN engineers screw up your storage. And they warned you. ;-)

DB Backup with RMAN

Hi experts;
May be this question can be consider ingenuo, but I need to create a backup for a DB, but I'm learning RMAN, I know how to write a script in unix to create an export/import, but I don't know how to create a script to do a backup for the complete DB. The DB it's not in archive mode.
So, I need ideas how to write the script to backup the complete DB.
Can somebody help me with this?
Thanks and regards

ORA-19511 when backup with rman (using NetBackup Media Manager)

Hello forum
I added new database hosts to NetBackup, tried to test backup of the first instance on one host, below is what I get - Do you know cause and solution? Backup from NetBackup master server can be performed without problems. Below you will find the output from sbttest too.
Thanks Casi

Are you sure, you installed the proper media management software? Check it:
(1) cd to your $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory
(2) Type sbttest test
The sbttest is a standalone program which test to see if the MML(Media
Management Layer) software is installed and can accept a data stream and return
an identical data stream.
sbttest will return 0 which indicates success or 1 which indicates an error has
occurred. An error means it's not an Oracle problem.

Deleting standby old redologs when make a backup with rman

Hello friends,
I like to know how to use the commando delete noprompt obsolete with the standby database using rman, if I use rman says cant use that command with a standby db using dataguard, I switchover to a primary and then lauch the command but always is the same message on RMAN.
How I can use rman to make a backup and then delete old´s log?, I have no problem with the primary DB, the hard disk is filling with old logs on the standby side and i dont know how to delete in the better place like rman does with the primary with the command delete noprompt obsolete.
Thanks.

Hi!
In the primary database You must continue with Your backup routine, using rman ( backuping archives and then deleting it)
On the standby database You may use this script to delete applied archived redo logs.
#!/bin/ksh
export ORACLE_SID=<SID OF STBY DATABASE>
role=`
echo "set echo off";
echo "set feedback off ";
echo "set pages 0";
echo "set head off";
echo 'select DATABASE_ROLE from v$database;'
echo "exit";
} | sqlplus -s '/ as sysdba'
`
if [ "$role" = 'PHYSICAL STANDBY' ]; then
echo "set echo off";
echo "set feedback off ";
echo "set pages 0";
echo "set head off";
echo "select thread#,sequence# ";
echo 'from v$archived_log';
echo "where standby_dest = 'NO' and deleted = 'NO' and APPLIED = 'YES';";
echo "exit";
} | sqlplus -s '/ as sysdba' | while read line
do
thread=`echo "$line"|awk '{print $1}'`
sequence=`echo "$line"|awk '{print $2}'`
echo "crosscheck archivelog sequence $sequence thread $thread;"
echo "delete noprompt archivelog sequence $sequence thread $thread;"
done | rman target /
else
echo "database not a physcial standby"
fi

Restore hot backup using RMAN?

Hi,
We are taking hotbackup using rman level0,leve1,level2. Now i want to restore level 0 first then level 1 and level 2.. how to restore like this
Thanks in advance

You don't have to explicitly restore each L0, L1 etc backup.
When you specify a SET UNTIL, RMAN identifies the backups (starting with the latest L0 before the SET UNTIL) that are to be restored and attempts to restore them.
If the backups were to disk and are no longer on disk (i.e. you have moved them to tape), you have to ensure that the backups are made available (by copying them back from tape to disk).
You can use RESTORE DATABASE VALIDATE and RESTORE ARCHIVELOG VALIDATE to identify the backups that are required.
See http://hemantoracledba.blogspot.com/2010/03/misinterpreting-restore-database.html
