When taking a full data backup

We take a full data backup of our LiveCache instance daily. My question is when you take a full backup (and it is successful) are any of the logs that are generated prior to the full backup needed any longer. My guess is no. But I would like to make sure this is correct.
Thanks

John,
you are right. After taking a full data backup of the LiveCache instance, you don't need the logs generated before the backup. However, following the precautionary principle, it is a good idea to keep the last few data backups and log backups, just in case you need them.

Lost device password BB9900 bold. Now what? I have full data backup on laptop.

Hi can someone advise what I should do after 10th wrong device password? what will happen ? I have data back-up on laptop. Can I reload all?? Thanks . Ashutosh

Ashutosh, I do not know if you may have tried this nor whether it will work but on my Bold 9900, within 'setup', there is a feature called 'Blackberry ID'. There is an option to 'change your password'. Maybe if you try this and answering your recovery question, you maybe able to get back up and running again. Bob

Full disk backup size is 2x what Finder says I have *in total*...why?

So, I admit it, I'm a Unix guy - it's one of the reasons OS X appealed to me in the first place. When I went to test my new external 320gb FireWire drive, I thought I'd make a full backup of my MacBookPro (10.4.11) using the tool I know best....tar. I mounted the drive and then did the backup from the command line:
cd /
sudo tar cvjf /Volumes/BigPartition/Save_All.tbz .
Hey, not pretty, but it worked. Except the backup tar file was 15GB - which was really odd since it's being compressed with Bzip and Finder says I'm using only 14GB _in total_ on my disk, and I'd expect a compressed backup to be much smaller - maybe 7GB. So it was 2x bigger than I thought it would be.
So I did it again, but this time without compression in case that was the problem (compressing already compressed data, etc). And it took up 31GB. So I'm REALLY confused here:
1) Am I using a whole lot more (17GB more!) disk than the Finder claims I am? OR
2) Is my 'tar' command saving files that don't really exist (like copies of virtual memory, etc.) that make it save 2x-3x as the actual data size would save as? OR
3) Is there some other explanation I'm not getting on this?
If #2, what's a tar command I could use to save the "real" system and data, but nothing else? Meaning, which directories/files do I need to exclude to save just the system and data I need to do a full restore, but no more?
Finally, besides the Backup app included with the OS, is there another tool/script I should be using to do a full system backup to my external drive?
thanks....and please scale the technical level of your answer to someone who programs in assembly language for fun. :}

You definitely need a backup program with a GUI for MacOSX. That's because of the bad news: MacOSX is not Unix. Open Darwin! Right...Apple, to my knowledge, never modified tar, cpio, dump, pax, ..., everything but 'ditto' for its augmented file system, with aliases, meta-data, 16-bit unicode fonts, resource forks, &c. All but 'ditto' will backup only Unix data in Unix files.
'Ditto' will archive HFS+ files, and can even strip architectures not needed from 'fat binaries', and use the BOM (bill of materials) to copy applications. What it does with aliases is unknown to me, but I believe it follows both soft & hard links to their sources (as tar does, I think), overwriting these if you try and restore from it. So, 'ditto' was clearly touched-up by Apple solely for creating archives, not backups.
I should examine the standard archives, like VersionTracker, for freeware from 'sourceforge'. I've never found an adequate backup applications; but I stopped looking some time ago. I just drag from Finder windows to archive, burning DVDs with 'Disk Utility'. That should work.
Note something really cute, however: a genuine tape backup released some years ago. The little mini-cartridges that fit in a digital VCR hold 20 to 30 GB! This little application was a real 'tar', sells for about $40, writes files twice, has various levels of compression, can follow aliases & links or not, and can be found on VersionTracker. After experience with quarter-inch cartridges, which were a nightmare, I distrust any tape drive that sells for less than $3000. But I've never had a VCR not playback! It's worth a look; and, what the ****, it's romantic.

Recovery using Full BCV backup & archive logs

Hello DBA's ,
I have Last Sunday's Full BCV (Buisness Copy Volume) backup (i.e. ..... the tablespaces were taken into Backup mode then Sync the BCV, then split the BCV , take the backup of BCV and take the tabespaces in normal mode in short what we call as HOT BACKUP ........ ) & also I am taking only archive log & control file backup Daily.
Now I want to Run my database on Different Server using the above FULL BCV & daily backed up Archive logs & Control file.
Kindly update me- Can I go for following recovery steps for above scenario.
1) Install ORACLE software on new server.
2) Restore the last Sunday's FULL BCV (Hot backup)
3) Restore the archive log from last Sunday's Full BCV backup.
4) Restore the latest backed up control file.
5) Mount the database.
6) Recover the database using backed up control file & archive logs.
7) Open the database with RESETLOGS option.
Please Guide me whether I can Fully Recover/Start database on this new server using above steps. ---OR---- " Are there any more files except data files that need to be backed up daily after Full BCV ? " ---OR ---- More suggestions are Welcome.
I want to test this scenario bcz.
a) I can't afford daily BCV due to lack of storage with current retention given by buisness.
b) I can't afford long time taken by RMAN for backup & recovery, as it disturbs my other backup shedules, also RTO should be very low as per my buisness requirement.
c) Currently we are not thinking for any another Backup options.

Hello everybody ....
Actually I am doing the above scenario practically and I am facing the problem that when I am applying my archive logs using backup controlfile until cancel, the recovery completes upto the available Archive logs/sequence. But it throws the following error along with it ......

I want to recover my database upto Saturday then What should I do ?
Please help me out !

Incomplete Recovery Fails using Full hot backup & Archive logs !!

Hello DBA's !!
I am doing on Recovery scenario where I have taken One full hot backup of my Portal Database (EPR) and Restored it on New Test Server. Also I restored Archive logs from last full hot backup for next 6 days. Also I restored the latest Control file (binary) to their original locations. Now, I started the recovery scenario as follows....
1) Installed Oracle 10.2.0.2 compatible with restored version of oracle.
2) Configured tnsnames.ora, listener.ora, sqlnet.ora with hostname of Test server.
3) Restored all Hot backup files from Tape to Test Server.
4) Restored all archive logs from tape to Test server.
5) Restored Latest Binary Control file from Tape to Test Server.
6) Now, Started recovery using following command from SQL prompt.
SQL> recover database until cancel using backup controlfile;
7) Open database after Recovery Completion using RESETLOGS option.
Now in Above scenario I completed steps upto 5) successfully. But when I execute the step 6) the recovery completes with Warning : Recovery completed but OPEN RESETLOGS may throw error " system file needs more recovery to be consistent " . Please find the following snapshot ....

Please Let me know why my Incomplete Recovery using Archive logs Goes Fail ?
Atul Patil.

oh you made up a new thread so here again:
there is nothing wrong.
You restored your backup, archives etc.
you started your recovery and oracle applyed all archives but the archive
'/oracle/EPR/oraarch/1_9624_601570270.dbf'
does not exist because it represents your current online redo log file and that is not present.
the recovery process cancels by itself.
the solution is:
restart your recovery process with:
recover database until cancel using backup controlfile
and when oracle suggests you '/oracle/EPR/oraarch/1_9624_601570270.dbf'
type cancel!
now you should be able to open your database with open resetlogs.

Missing Recovery partition after restoring full TM backup

Hello everyone,
I have a question for you Time Machine gurus. I have looked at pondini.org but could not find the answer. It is very possible I have overlooked it.
Here is the scenario:
Macbook Pro with Lion 10.7.2. I connected 1TB USB drive. Formatted it.
Rebooted while holding Option+R. Had two options: Main Drive and Recovery HD. Took Main Drive.
Ran full TM machine backup to the external.
Rebooted while holding Option+R. Had three options: Main Drive, Recovery HD and TM Backup. Took TM Backup. It worked fine, everything looked good.
The next step may not make sense to you, but I have been having some performance issues with the MBP, so I decided to format the main drive and recover it from the TM backup so that the data would be contiguous. I have read countless articles in favor or against doing this. I just thought it made sense, based on many articles I read here.
I then, while running from the TM backup, formatted my main drive.
Next I did a full recovery of the main drive from the TM backup. Everything worked just fine and I am running ok at this time. Not sure it helped performance yet, but here is the question:
Once I reboot the system holding Option+R after the recovery, I only have two options: Main Drive and TM backup. Recovery HD is gone. So it seems that was either not backed up to TM to begin with or not recovered to the Main Drive during the full recovery. Any ideas? The goal was to have it still there in the Main Drive, although with a full TM backup I would not really need it unless I am away from my external, which could happen.
Thanks for ideas or suggestions.

You don't need to hold the R key. Option invokes the Startup Manager, which shows all bootable volumes.
Or, you can hold Cmd+R to start from the Recovery HD on your Mac.
Once I reboot the system holding Option+R after the recovery, I only have two options: Main Drive and TM backup. Recovery HD is gone.
That's correct. A full restore erases the entire OSX volume, including the Recovery HD. (Just why it takes the Recovery HD isn't clear, but it does).
The only way to get a new one is to download a fresh copy of Lion, via the Recovery HD on the TM drive.
Once it's there, you can copy it to another drive if you want. See: OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery Disk Assistant (but you can't copy the one on your Time Machine drive).

Full Server Backup for Domain Computer

Having Windows 2012 Domain Controllers. I have a requirement to provide a backup for one domain controller to be sent to a another data center, so that if all our main datacenters are destroyed for any reason, we can have a media with backup of our AD.
So i took a Full Server Backup for one of our domain controllers, put it on a tape, send it to the security team so that they can send it to the standby datacenter.
Security team asking me that on the standby datacenter, they want to simulate complete disaster ( that is all domain controllers are destroyed) and they want to give me a machine so that i can restore the full server backup of AD on it.
Is this supported ? To save the Full Server backup of a domain controller in a Tape so that it can be restored in standby datacenter in different computer when things get bad?

As Tero already mentioned, one you have your test environment up and running, you need to prepare your DRP (Disaster Recovery Plan).
See that:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc757662(v=ws.10).aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727048.aspx
Make sure that you are taking periodic system state backups of at least one DC/GC server.
For the standby datacenter, you can simply promote a new DC/DNS/GC server there and keep it active to be used in case of disasters as I previously mentioned. By configuring properly your AD sites and subnets, you can be sure that your Windows servers and
client computers do not use this DC for daily authentication.

Incremental Data Backup

Dear sir/Madam
I have One server i.e. Windows NT. With oracle 8 database loaded
and one database which is having many users, I am taking backup of
one x user which is very important to me . The same is exported and
Import to another server which is Windows2000 and Oracle 8i Database loaded.
In this server i am importing the data of x user.
Every time i am export data from windows nt server data base and delete the user in windows2000 server and import the dmp file which is latest updated dmp.
here what happen the time consume and import data of all tables.
So what i need is system automatecaly export the updated tables and
same may import in this server with the help of incremental command, but i dont want to take full dba backup.
Please guide us how to do the same
regards
Mathpati.

Post your question on Database - General Forum.
And then You'll have an answer like:
1- Create and save a script in the file system that runs command line to export the user you want. You may use the very same script you're already using;
2- Schedule this script in OS scheduler (chron if unix based systems or whatever scheduler you want);

Data backup and migration to identical Mac

Hi everyone,
I've had my new Macbook Pro for a couple of weeks, but because the lid doesn't close properly I have to send it back to the Apple Store for a replacement now. Apple obviously cannot take care of the data migration so I have to do it myself.
What migration strategy would you suggest and what software would you use? Is there a simple way to clone my HD? The new MBP will be the same spec as the old. Unfortunately, I think I won't have the two MBPs available at the same time, so directly transferring from old to new is not an option. I have several Linux/Windows PCs and file servers (SMB) available at work, which could serve as "storage media". I might also be able to borrow a Firewire drive from a colleague.
many thanks
Hendrik

If you simply want to archive data, you can use any drive, partitioned or not. But if you want a "full system" backup, your "best bet" would be a bootable clone. You can use "Carbon Copy Cloner" which is "donation ware" so that would not cost you any money but that still leaves you with the problem of needing a free partition somewhere. So my question would be how much data is on your friend's FW drive? Could you copy that data to optical media, use the FW drive to clone your drive, and afterwards, erase the drive and copy the data from the optical disks back on to it?. That might be a "cumbersome" way to go but it would only set you back the price of a few optical disks....

Data Backup 2.1 and Mac Memory Management?

I'm trialing a backup program called Data Backup 2.1. It keeps versions of my programs, which I need, as often I've had corruptions and have not notice this till a few days after the fact. I've been using Retrospect but read a review that praised Data Backup. The thing I've noticed with it is that although it is very fast, like SuperDuper, it seems to affect my free memory dramatically. I've noticed that it will finish and instead of having say 250 megs of Active memory in use I'll have 700 megs of active memory. Inactive will be low whereas normally its high. Free memory during its backup can drop to 20 megs (I have 1.5 gigs). The free memory, once you start to use your computer seems to recover to around 500 - 700 megs. The one thing I have noticed of concern is that while its running I get pageouts, which I never get and my reading about Mac memory management is you want to avoid pageouts and if you get them you need more memory (for what I'm doing 1.5 gigs should be plenty). I've asked the Data Backup people what's going on and they don't think its something to be concerned about but they said it is probably something to do with the way they are caching.
I'm just wondering - do you think this is something to be concerned about. I'd like to switch from Retrospect as although I know it I'm not sure how committed they are to the Mac market any longer and it is way slower in terms of activities but it does manage memory well. However I don't want to get Data Backup if it is affecting RAM inappropriately.

Synchronize! Pro X will maintain versioned archives, perform full, incremental, and bootable backups both to local and to network devices. I have found that SPX is just about as full-featured as Retrospect with certain limitations. It cannot backup across multiple media (CDs, DVDs, tape), no extensive browser windows like Retrospect, no backups without scanning (as SuperDuper does for its "fast" updating backup.
SPX supports schedules, multiple-item backups (can select individual files and/or folders), extensive backup/synchronize customizations, can run as "root", can auto-mount devices (including network drives), and it's a universal binary.
It's also nearly as expensive as Retrospect but in my opinion it's worth it.
If you want a less costly backup solution without all the features of SPX, but with all the features of SuperDuper (and in my opinion better than SD) then try Deja Vu. Also a universal binary, it supports incremental archives, full, incremental, and bootable backups to local or network drives, supports scheduling and runs as a preference pane.
Finally, for the the truly cheap there are PsyncX and RsyncX - both freeware. They are GUI wrappers around the basic backup and synchronizing tools that are part of Unix (ditto, rsync, and psync.)
Download mentioned software from www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com.

Data backup

I am using Time Machine with Time Capsule:
Few questions re data backup:
1. In addition to TC with TM I want to have mobile backup (for data files and photos not for system and program files) (redundant of course) and would like to use a clone or duplicate backup routine (such as NTI shadow 5 backup) (saves having to restore) (understand mobile me has backup which seems ok but have to restore)----would NTI shadow backup conflict with TM/TC?
2. As an alternative I could use the back up available with Western Digital's my essential portable HD which has its own backup software---this would be mobile as well.
Thank you

I'm not sure just what you mean by "mobile backups."
It is a good idea to maintain "secondary" backups, and doing so to a portable external HD is a good idea, so you can take it off-site, if that's what you mean.
It's not a good idea to mix Time Machine backups and other data on a Time Capsule, however. See #Q3 in [Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule|http://web.me.com/pondini/TimeMachine/TimeCapsule.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum) for details.
Apple's Backup app, part of MobileMe, isn't bad to get relatively-small things off to iDisk daily, weekly, or on demand, but it's pretty basic, and the backups are kept in a proprietary format.
For clones, most folks use either CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper. [CarbonCopyCloner|http://www.bombich.com> is donationware; [SuperDuper|http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html] has a free version, but you need the paid one (about $30) to do updates instead of full replacements, or scheduling.
None of these will conflict with Time Machine (as long as their files are excluded from Time Machine backups), although if both are running at the same time, performance may suffer a bit.

Step by Step RMAN configuration for full hot backup daily

Dear experts,
i am new to oracle RMAN , i have gone through couple of RMAN guides for configuration ,
i have oracle e-business suite (R12.1.1) and database is ( 11.1.0.7) on red hat enterprise linux 5.3 . All of this is 64 bit.
i have a database about 175 gb which is as usual growing day by day as data entry is taking place.
Untill now we have a cold backup strategy in the midnight 3 am a script down the database and make abc.tar.gz file of 25 gb approx. . This process takes about 100 minutes. But now due to new sales system we want our database up 24/7 .
So we want to configure RMAN hot backup.
I want to take backup on disk.
daily full hot backup.
backupsets
currently database is in no-archivelog
plz help me to proceed with this .

Dear all,
i am using this script for my full hot backup ,
run
allocate channel c1 device type disk format '/opt/R12Backups/rman/%U';

crosscheck backup;

1.please tell me that it is covering all aspects of a backup . Can i do complete recovery with this backup in case of disaster?
Define "all aspects".
2. i only get database and controlfile backup at my location. There is no backup of archivelogs , What happened with
that ?Without seeing the output that rman generated from running the above block, and without seeing all of the persistent rman settings, it is impossible to diagnose anything. I will say that your script looks overly complex.
Just to give you a point of comparison, here's my setup. First the persistent rman settings. Take note of anything that is NOT marked as "default";
RMAN> show all;
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 7 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 '%F'; # default
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK BACKUP TYPE TO COMPRESSED BACKUPSET PARALLELISM 1;
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' TO 3;
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE OFF; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM 'AES128'; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/ora00/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/snapcf_vlnxora1.f'; # defaultAnd here is my basic "full backup" script
[oracle@vmlnx01 bin]$ cat rman_full.scr
connect target /
show all;
run {
