How to schedule RMAN backup
Hi experts,
I need to schedule automated RMAN backups in 10G(RMAN database) and i need to include the support for Oracle 8i, 9i and 10g database backups.
Any type of suggestions are welcome.
Thanx in Advance,
Senthil
Hi,
Where do you want to backup to? Do you want to backup to disk or to tape drive? Many of the tape drive softwares does have the capability of scheduling the jobs. If you want to backup to disk, then you can use your OS scheduling features.
Before all of that, you will need to write and test indivudual scripts to backup and restore.

Thanks in advanceThere are 4 different ways at least; You didn't mentionned your OS version nor your Oracle version.
1- When creating the database using DBCA, you can choose the option to automatically backup your database: This is the easiest way.
2- Using Enterprise Manager database Control or Grid control; this is another easy way.
3- Using DBMS_SCHEDULER. You may use a detached job (check my note here: http://www.oracle-class.com/?p=2033 )
4- using crontab job.
Hope it helps! -
How to Schedule a Backup in db2
Hi, Experts

Please tell me how to schedule a backup
Thanks & Regards
VenkatHi,
In Application(SAP) level you can't able to take Backup.
You can take backup from OS level.
GO SAVE command and schedule the backup...R3<SID>DATA and R3<SID>JRN...libraries you can take daily..
Monthly once you cane take Entire System Backup with offline.
If you want online backup you came go to BRMS..But it is licence product with IBM.
Thanks

How to verify RMAN backup ?
How to verify and validate the RMAN backups on daily basis?One more doubt at this point - if we can't locate any RMAN script in crontab(crontab -l) but still backup is occuring regularly, how can we see the script behind this?
Thanks in advance.

What you want see? If backup was executed without error or make sure that there is a valid backup on tape or disk.
So, If you want see if backup was executed successfull you must find the logs of backup or query "V$RMAN_OUTPUT" (check it on documentation).
If you want check if Database is Valid on Disk or TAPE as mentioned previously "RESTORE VALIDATE DATABASE" (check it on documentation).
Where we can locate RMAN SCRIPT? It's hard to answer.
It' your env, you should find out. The options are: Crontab / Oracle Enteprise Manager / Third-Party Backup Software / Job Scheduler.
Also you can try : Take a time of backup was executed and check on shell a time of exection of backup " ps -ef |grep rman" you will find from where script was started.

How to schedule the backup for sqlserver2005/ECC5.0
Dear all
Our system inlude: ECC5.0,sqlserver2005,windows2003 server.I want to know that how can i implement the backup for the sap system ?
If i use the DB13 to backup sap system ,i have to load/unload the tape manually.
1) we use the tape library,how can i schedule the backup automatically?Maybe seems that no 3rd software can do the backup through DB13 basing sqlserver .
2) If i want to backup automatically ,i have to backup the sqlserver directly and donnot use the DB13 ?what's the risk between them ?
Thanks erveryone.Hi Dipendra,
For running the Adobe application You need to configure some thing in both Java as well as in ABAP stack for that abobe form application to work. You need to do some configuration in the Visual administrator for Java & also in the ABAP stack sidi using your SAP user id line creating ADSUSER , ADS_AGENT user id creation and roles assignment and RFC destination creation etc..
Just refer these documents for the installation and post-configuration of Adobe Document Service on NW2004s.

Need best practices PROCESS to schedule RMAN Backups.
Hi All,
I would like a suggestion on the following for RMAN Backups:
Details:
Database: - 11gR2, Size 3TB on ASM - DW database.
Like suggestions on:
1) What kind of backups to schedule - Incremental along with Block backups?
2) Size required to allocate for the Backup Space - Can it be ASM or Disk Space?
3) Anything else - please suggest.
Thank you.For that size, you might do weekly L0 and daily L1 (differential) backups. Try to do L1 (cumulative) backups if possible.
Getting the total sizes of Segments (from DBA_SEGMENTS) will give you an approximation for the minimum size. (Tables/Indexes that have been dropped and are no longer in DBA_SEGMENTS wouldn't appear but the underlying blocks for them if unused by other Tables/Indexes would still be backed up as they'd have been formatted).
You could run the Backup as a COMPRESSED BACKUPSET to reduce the size.
Whether you want ASM or FileSystem depends on your comfort level. If you run backups to ASM, you can only use RMAN to backup from ASM to Tape. However, backups on FileSystem can be copied to tape using any other method (tape backup utility). Also consider if you want to replicate/copy the backups to other servers and what methods you'd have available.

How to check RMAN backup report or log
Hi Guys,
I have RMAN schduled to backup my database daily.
Please what are the steps to check the report of the backup to see what was actually backed up and if it backup up ok
ThanksUse "LIST BACKUP" to display information about backup sets, proxy copies, and image copies. With LIST command you can list the following:
- Backups and copies that do not have the status AVAILABLE in the RMAN repository
- Backups and copies of datafiles that are available and can possibly be used in a restore operation
- Specified archived logs, backup sets, backup pieces, control file copies, datafile copies, and proxy copies
- Backups and copies restricted by tag, completion time, recoverability, or device
- Incarnations of a specified database or of all databases known to the repository
- Stored scripts in the recovery catalog
Examples on how to use LIST command are listed below:
RMAN> LIST BACKUP;
RMAN> LIST EXPIRED BACKUP;
RMAN> LIST BACKUP OF DATABASE;
RMAN> LIST BACKUP SUMMARY;
RMAN> LIST BACKUP BY FILE;
RMAN> LIST ARCHIVELOG ALL;
RMAN> LIST COPY OF DATABASE ARCHIVELOG ALL;
RMAN> LIST COPY OF DATAFILE 1, 2, 3;
RMAN> LIST BACKUP OF ARCHIVELOG FROM SEQUENCE 1437;
RMAN> LIST BACKUPSET OF DATAFILE 1;You can use the VALIDATE keyword of the BACKUP command to do the following:
- Check datafiles for physical and logical corruption
- Confirm that all database files exist and are in the correct locations
For example, you can validate that all database files and archived redo logs can be backed up by running a command as follows:
RMAN> BACKUP VALIDATE DATABASE ARCHIVELOG ALL;I suggest you read Oracle® Database Backup and Recovery Manuals:

How to schedule offline backup for SAPDB or maxdb
Hello,
I have stand alone SAPDB server ( without SAp system) , I wanted to know how to schedule the OFFline backup for SAPDB.
Can yo tell me the command to schedule the offline backup .
Command should do like:
1) bring the DB to admin mode.
2) start offline backup .
3) bring the db up after backup done
Regards,Did you read the available documentation?
> 1) bring the DB to admin mode.
dbmcli -u control,<password> -d <database> db_admin
> 2) start offline backup .
dbmcli -u control,<password> -d <database> backup_start <medium>
> 3) bring the db up after backup done
dbmcli -u control,<password> -d <database> db_online
Basically you can do the same when the database is online, all backups are consistent, there's no difference in "offline" or "online" backup as with other databases (e. g. Oracle).

How to move rman backups on tap from disk
Hi,
I have rman backup files on the disk, now how we can move these files to tap. is there any rman command or is there any script to move.
Thank you!Do you use FRA (Flash recovery area)?
If you use FRA then configure RMAN to take backup to tape. And backup fra to tape.
RUN
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch0 TYPE ‘SBT_TAPE’;
BACKUP RECOVERY AREA;
RELEASE CHANNEL ch0;
If you don't use FRA then you can backup your backupsets which are on the disk to tape.
RMAN> BACKUP DEVICE TYPE SBT BACKUPSET ALL;

Problem with .cmd/batch file, while scheduling RMAN backup
I am running Oracle 10g on Windows. I Have written RMAN Backup script & saved it as .cmd file. Now i will schedule this via AT utility on windows. While i try to run this .cmd file then after starting RMAN it does nothing, neither RMAN gets connected to target database nor backup gets started. What may be the problem??
Contents of .cmd file are like this:-
RMAN target 'sys/manager@test'
backup database include current controlfile;
backup archive log;
Message was edited by:
user648257
Message was edited by:
user648257RMAN target 'sys/manager@test'
backup database include current controlfile;
backup archive log;will not work. You are passing 3 different commands to the Windows command interpreter. CMD executes the first command 'RMAN target ...@test" and waits for it to complete before it will proceed to attempt to execute the "backup database".
That is, the "backup database" command isn't being passed to RMAN at all.
You should put the two "backup" commands in a script file (as you would do for an SQLPlus script file) -- eg backup.rmn and execute it with rman
eg
rman target 'sys/manager@test' @backup.rmn -
How to distribute RMAN backup among tape volumes in OSB
Hi Guys,
I would like to ask some information about OSB. I have finally set up our Oracle Secure Backup 10.3.0.3.0 and initial OSB backup to tape is good using our test environment.
Now, our production servers has the following details:
Serv01
- Oracle Database 11.1.0.7
- Windows Server 2003 R2
- Current RMAN backup to disk full (level 0) is at 2TB.
Serv02
- this is our media server for OSB and we manage from here all other servers that we would like OSB to be implemented.
-Windows Server 2003 R2
- We have IBM tape library here with four drives
- Our tape volumes are 480GB each (compressed) we about 50 of them.
-Each tape volume has barcodes and our library has barcode reader
How can I group certain tapes (as a media family?) and use them for our level 0 backup. As you know, one tape cannot hold our level 0 backup so we need at least 5 tape volumes to hold our level 0 backup. Is there a step by step process of doing this? Or does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks and I would really appreciate your thoughts about this.Yes, media families (like tape pools) are used to group backups on tape. Using a database backup storage selector, you set-up media policy so OSB will automatically select appropriate storage when for the backup per your settings. You may want to refer to this white paper which discusses media management:
