Is it possible to backup incremental without having full ?

Hi,
in 10g R2 I have done an incremental backup (level 1) of my database without having a FULL BACKUP. I wonder how RMAN can do this. I thought that incremental can be done comparing to a full existant backup. Can you explaine me please ? Thank you.

from the doku:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/rcmconc1005.htm#sthref241
Incremental Backup Algorithm
Each data block in a datafile contains a system change number (SCN), which is the SCN at which the most recent change was made to the block. During an incremental backup, RMAN reads the SCN of each data block in the input file and compares it to the checkpoint SCN of the parent incremental backup. (If block change tracking is enabled, RMAN does not read the portions of the file known to have not changed since the parent incremental backup.) If the SCN in the input data block is greater than or equal to the checkpoint SCN of the parent, then RMAN copies the block.
means if there is no parent then every block has a greater SCN and the first incremental 1 is an full backup.

  • Is it possible to wifi sync without having synced using USB at all beforehand?

    Ive really managed to screw up my iPhone, I kept trying to sync but my computer didnt recognise it so I reset all the settings and content on my iphone from the menu but that didnt work so I tried putting it into recovery mode but when I tried to restore it I got error 1611, then when i put it in DFU once I got error 28. It has in the mean time it has gone back to working fine as an iphone (out of DFU and recovery mode) but still it cant be found by any computer and so I have no music or audiobooks on it and an unable to sync although my iphone does charge when plugged in? I have no idea what to do and my iPhones out of warranty so I was wondering if there was any possible way where I could get my iphone to sync over wifi without having to have been synced by USB first and had Wifi Sync turned on? Is there any way of say putting in a file convincing my computer it had been synced and wifi had been turned on because otherwise my iphone is obselete and its pay as you go so I'm not getting another at any point.

    Could be that your docking port is damaged:
    Error 23, 28, 29: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with the white USB Dock Connector cable that shipped with your device, on a known good computer and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value, (00 499901 064000 0), can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software can also cause these errors.
    Your phone has to be recognized via USB at least once, to be able to sync using Wi-Fi.

  • HT5372 Is it possible to sync tabs without having to merge bookmarks? I dont want or need the same bookmarks on both my macs.

    So I went to turn on Safari syncing on my MBA after installing Mountain Lion and it says it will merge my bookmarsk with iCloud, like Bookmark syncing in Lion.
    My question is, why do I have to have the same bookmarks on both my MBA and my Mini for tab syncing to work? I use them for totaly different things, and the bookmars bar is only so big . Is there anyway to use tab syncing without bookmark syncing?

  • My iPad 2 glass has cracked is it possible to repair it without having insurance?

    help! I've had my ipad for about 2 months now and the top right corner cracked because it fell on the concrete floor. What can I do?

    Apple does not repair iPads, but will replace the entire iPad for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/iPad/service/faq/
    If you have an Apple Store near you, you can take your iPad there, explain what happened, and in some cases the technician has been able to replace the iPad at no charge, though Apple's apparently tightened up quite a bit on such "discretionary" replacements so they may have to charge you.
    There are independent iPad repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "iPad repair".
    Regards.

  • Is it possible to replace Adobe ExportPDF without having to pay again as I'm already paying $1.99/month for a year?

    I accidentally deleted adobe export pdf and I can't restore it. Is it possible to replace that without having to pay again as I'm already paying $1.99/month for a year? (I also recently just got the program, no longer than 4 days)

    There is nothing to 'replace.'
    Simply go to https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf and sign in with your Adobe ID and password (most likely, the same one you used to post here in the forum).

  • Is it possible to use Time Capsule with Apple TV? Without having our macbook pro, iPhones or iPads as middle link?

    Hi there.
    I wanted to buy a time capsule - But my big question is : Is it possible to use the time capsule with Apple Tv ( Newest generation.) without having an Iphone, Ipad or mac as middlelink?
    So if I example want to have all our music and dvds on the Time Capsule and watch/hear it on my TV. Do I have to have one of our macbook pro's started up to get it to work?
    Hope you understand what I'm trying to say here.. ? Hehe.
    Best Regards
    Christian

    But then I can have all dvds and music on a time capsule and then run it via itunes on my mac and from there to the apple tv
    Yes, if you move the iTunes Media Folder to the Time Capsule.
    But.....if you move the iTune Media Folder to the Time Capsule.....how are you planning to back up this important data? 
    (You will lose everything in the Media Folder when.....not if....the Time Capsule has a problem and you do not have a backup copy.)
    A much safer plan would be to keep the iTunes Media Folder on your Mac.....or add another hard drive connected to the Mac and move the Media Folder to that drive.
    Then Time Machine will backup both your Mac and and hard drive.  So, you have "originals" on one drive and backups on another.

  • Running Win7 and ITunes 10.6 - loaded all my old CD's in one user acct. I want to share these with all other users on the machine without reloading the CD's and without having to make copies of their disk images, if possible. Also, want them on my WinXP

    Running ITunes 10.6, on a Win7 Home Premium SP1. Just loaded about thirty of my favorite CD's on my user account.
    I would like to be able to make all of them available to my other family members in their accounts on my machine, without needing to reload them all and without having to store their disk images multiple times. Can this be done, and if so, how?
    And can I copy the contents of a folder across to my wife's WinXP SP3 machine, and have them made available to each of us in our login accts on that machine?
    (There are three of us, plus an admin and a backup admin account, on each.)
    I will be really grateful if someone can help me do this for my family members, as we have shared the music on these CD's over the years, and I would like to make them available on the desktop for each of us.
    Also, I'd like to be able to load them, or a subset of them, to my wife and son's IPods. Any Tips, Traps or Tweaks for that process, as well?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
    Not sure about the OS level for the IPods. I am doing this for my wife and son, using an account here created for my son, which he shares with me for support purposes. But I do know they both have IPods, and our PC's and their OS's were described above.

    You can move the iTunes folder to a separate drive on your pc an then configure each account to use this drive / folder as iTunes library ... The problem is, that iTunes by default stores everything in your personal music folder which is separate for each user account in windows (and by default is on "C" drive).
    I create a separate partition on every pc/laptop (and map a drive name) where I store music, videos and other mass data. This will also keep the "C" drive small, which is backed up from time to time and so my backup is also small.

  • Is it possible to backup my iPhone without getting into the phone?

    I have a white iPhone 5c 16GB. It's my second time owning one, and the current one I have is from Asurion insurance company. I have heard those have been refurbished, so when I received my current phone I felt like it had already been old. iPhones don't have long life spans, for one. I would drop it a couple times and the edge of the screen would pop out but i would just push it back in using some force. Another problem it had is that it would die even when it had about 30% of battery left. Earlier today, it did the same. Trying to get my charger, the phone accidentally fell off of the bed while it was dead. As usual i check for cracks or the screen popping out and that didn't happen. I charged it and when i tried going on my phone I was only able to use half of the screen. The other half was covered in those lines that appear when the screen is damaged. My immediate reaction was to plug it into my laptop to backup the phone before more damage happened to the phone but I had procrastinated on updating itunes. It took about two hours for iTunes to completely download. Meanwhile the screen had just completely failed on me showing only the colorful lines, but i was still receiving calls and the phone could still vibrate, i just couldn't see or check anything at all. Once i was going to back it up, itunes said my phone was in recovery mode and that i had to restore my phone. I have precious photos that i want to keep when i get a new phone. Is it possible to backup the phone without using itunes and just using icloud? its saying my phone is connected yet im unable to see any proof of that other than the sound my laptop makes when i plug it back in. Also, if that doesn't work or is not possible, will i be able to just stick my sim card into a new phone and will i be able to keep my data?

    That's what I figured. When i go on icloud it shows the bar of the storage, and since i havent purchased extra, i only have the free 5gb. in icloud the bar shows the amount ive used and it says "backup" on the bar. It's not a link it's just a label. Does that mean it's backed up automatically on icloud?

    Having AppleTV remember the password is optional.
    Logout of iTunes store, log back in and hopefully next time you come to purchase you'll be prompted for your password but decline the option to remember it.  You might also want to look out of parental controls on the unit.

  • Is it possible to watch a previously purchased movie on Apple TV without having to turn on my computer?

    I just bought a 3rd gen Apple TV. I have some movies on my MacBook which I purchased through the iTunes store. I know I can watch those movies on my Apple TV, but is it possible to watch those movies on my Apple TV WITHOUT having to turn on my computer? In other words, does iCloud support movies, and if so, can apple TV access them directly? My MacBook is on the third floor, and my living room is on the first floor, so I just want to avoid having to turn on my laptop everytime I want to watch one of those movies.

    Your past purchases. Available on all your devices.
    Now you can download music, movies, and TV shows you’ve previously purchased to all your devices. When you buy from iTunes, iCloud stores your purchase history. So you can see what you’ve bought — no matter which device you bought it on. You can access your purchase history from the iTunes Store on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, or Apple TV. And since you already own the songs, albums, movies, or TV shows in your purchase history, you can tap to download them to any of your devices

  • HT1222 Is it possible to get the SSL fix without having to install ios7 (which I tried and hated) or jailbreaking the devices?

    I have a few ipads, iphones and ipod touches of various models, and all run iOS6 of various types (whatever they were running when I last updated them before iOS 7 came along and stopped me being able to get newer versions of 6).
    I tried iOS7 for a while but hated both the appearance and some of the things that changed.
    My ipods have updated to a new version of iOS6 with the SSL fix.
    I can't seem to get this option for the ipads or iphones.
    Is it possible to get the important SSL update for iOS 6 for iPhone5, iPad3, ipad4 and ipad mini (not retina) without having to go to iOS7?
    (It seems that I can get a fix by jailbreaking but I really don't want to do that if there's another option since I have no need for it otherwise.)
    Thanks a lot.

    Thanks, that's helpful. I expected that answer, since I read a load of stuff about Apple pushing people to get iOS 7 despite it having people who disliked it, but was hopeful it was not the case
    Some of the changes, like to calendar were just frustrating.
    Not a big problem though - just means that the next phone and tablet hardware update I get won't be apple.
    Thanks a lot for the swift and helpful replies.

    I want to know how to create a backup file (because I'm pretty new with itunes, and it's hard to use it for me still), how to store my app data/media/videos, etc. And how I can retrieve them back when I'm done with the app I tried on my friend's computer.
    If anyone can help, it'd be great! Thank you so much!

    Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac.  You should be able to set a password for it. Save it.  Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer,  I suppose,  back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity.  As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
    you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
    This handy article from Apple explains how
    How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
    don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
    and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
    time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine  and go for it.  You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups  of your stuff.

  • Hi, can I move my iTunes library to an external hardrive without having to consolidate it as my prehistoric computer just doesn't have the space even though I have deleted everything possible to make room? Please help :(

    Hi, can I move my iTunes library to an external drive without having to consolidate it as my prehistoric computer just doesn't have enough space even though I have deleted everything possible to make room? Please help

    Hi, do you know if this works if I then want to move my library to a new computer as that is my main intention bacause my old computer hasn't got enough space for me to add new albums so I want to ditch the computer (its got to be about 100 years old and doesn't seem to cope well with modern technology!!) and start using my laptop for my iTunes. I am at the point now where i'm ready to throw both my computer and iPod out the window!!!! I might point out as well that in trying to clear space on my computer I accidently deleted the Bonjour programme which is aparently needed to use the home share option, oops!!!!
    Thanks, Kerry
