Manually check the rman backup output

Can anybody guide me how to manually check the rman backup output,
There are like 300+ DBs and we are using recovery catalog .....
Plz send me some example to do that....like i have to check list, report or rman logs?

1) set environment variable
$ export NLS_DATE_FORMAT='DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'
RMAN> connect target * connect catalog *
RMAN> list backup summary;
RMAN> list backup of database completed between "to_date('2007-12-20 03:00:00','YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:
SS')" and "to_date('2007-12-20 06:00:00','YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')";
My manager ask me to check rman backup report manually & this is what i am forwarding him that i will check , let me know if its not right........

Duplicate RMAN backup output to multiple destinations

Hi
We run Oracle 10.2, we have a requirment to duplicate the rman backup to three destinations at the same time, given that FRA is defined, following is the backup script:
rman
connect target /
backup as compressed backupset database plus archivelog delete imput;
Of course this will backup to FRA only.
The requirment is to duplicate the rman backup output to FRA , /orabackup1 and /orabackup2 in the same one command, i.e, without running the backupo three times.
What change would be needed in the script syntax?

How to ensure the rman backup is successful?

Hi,
we have scheduled rman backup jobs.
1. But how do we ensure all the rman backups are successful?
2. if the rman writes directly to tape, how do we ensure all tape backups are successful?
thanks

But what is incremental merge, couldn't find in the 10g manual?check it out on http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28270/rcmquick.htm#BRADV89354
do you use image backup in real production environment?Of course. We have a standard to to use image copies that way.
what do you suggest to do with rman normal way of backup or go for image backup?Depends on your specific situation. Like anything else, I prefer to provide some rationale on the recommendation.
Image Copies with Incremental Merge
Pros:
(1) one one full backup taken ever; no need to take another full backup
(2) the restore time is the same, regardless of the day of the week the db failed
(3) every day the incremental merge's success means the backup was good - an automatic validation
(4) it allows you to quickly switch to copy, rather than restore
Cons:
(1) Space requirement is more (since it's a bit to bit copy)
(2) can't do a point in time recovery from the disk alone
(3) can't go to the tape directly; must be a disk based backup.
Backupsets with Incremental Backup
Pros:
(1) space requirement is lower (since only never-used blocks are not copied)
(2) point in time recovery is possible
(3) direct backup to tape possible (no need for disk backup)
Cons:
(1) restore time varies depending on the day of the week the db failed
(2) you have to take a full backup regularly, perhaps once a week
(3) no validation unless you use validate backupset (takes resources)
So, as you can see, there are pros and cons to each approach. You have to decide for yourself which one weighs more (or less) to come to a conclusion.
Hope this helps.

Configure backup agent to take the RMAN backup

Hi,
We have a Sun Storagetek SL48 tape library with us. we want to take the backup to tape using Rman.
In order to take the RMAN backup, we need a backup agent needs to be installed on the database server.
1. My doubt is If we have Sun Storagetek SL48 tape library, what backup agent needs to be installed on the server?
2. If we know agent name, Could you please share the document to install the agent?
Thanks for your help.
R.Sundaravel

These softwares support the SL48 and they have an agent for RMAN : Symantec NetBackup, Legato Networker.
For Symantec, please check this URL : http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=HOWTO44847#v15496705

Is it possible to check the previous backups on a certain backup file for the iPhone.

Is it possible to check the previous backups on a certain backup file for the iPhone. I need to backup and restore the files which were used in the second week of January, but now I am only able to see the latest iteration of the backup. I am assuming that the iPhone backup rewrites on the same set of files. I may be mistaken. Is there any work around to see the old backups? Any kind of help would be seriously appreciated.

You can use zoom: Settings>General>Accessibility.
" A simple double-tap with three fingers instantly zooms in 200 percent, and you can adjust the magnification between 100 and 500 percent."

HT201250 I've just used an external drive to back up my Mac with Time Machine. I have Lion, but didn't click and check the "Encrypt Backup Disc". What should I do? Can I delete the external drive and start again, or can I encrypt later?

I've just used an external drive to back up my Mac with Time Machine. I have Lion, but didn't click and check the "Encrypt Backup Disc". What should I do? Can I delete the external drive and start again, or can I encrypt later?

I guess if stolen or lost it would protect my "stuff", and if I'm travelling would protect my privacy.
You must understand the purpose and implications of encryption before deciding whether to use it.
Encryption locks your data with a password. If you forget that password, the data is lost beyond any chance of recovery. Neither Apple nor anyone else will be able to help you recover that data if you don't know the password.
By the same token, the password must be strong enough to provide the security you want. For example, if you're the potential target of industrial espionage by a government or large corporation, you need the strongest possible password. To create and manage such a password safely is a task in itself, not to be undertaken lightly.
If you're only concerned about casual snooping by someone with no special skill, a weak, easily-remembered password is appropriate.
But regardless of the strength of the password, if you lose it, the data is gone forever.
Another point to remember is that if you encrypt your data on one storage device, you must also encrypt it on all other storage devices that would be accessible to the same attacker. Otherwise the data isn't protected. For example, if you keep your computer and your backup drive in the same room, and the internal drive of the computer is not encrypted, then there's no point in encrypting the backup drive.

How to set the Rman backup parameter.

Hi,
Can U guide me how to set the Rman backup path,control file auto backup & others parameter.

Hi,
Go through this,
Show all configurable settings:
RMAN>SHOW ALL;
Write disk backups to the /rmanback directory: (%U will be replaced with unique filenames)
RMAN> CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/rmanback/%U';
Backup using a flash recovery area rather than disk
RMAN> CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT CLEAR;
Configure RMAN to back up the control file after each backup
RMAN> CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
By default, RMAN automatically names control file backups and stores them in the flashrecovery area.
To configure RMAN to write control file backups to the /backup directory:( %F will generate a unique filename)
RMAN> CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/backup/controlfile%F';
Ensure that RMAN retains all backups needed to recover the database to any point in time in the last 7 days:
RMAN> CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 7 DAYS;
Retain three backups of each datafile:
RMAN> CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 3;
Delete backups no longer required by the retention policy:
RMAN> DELETE OBSOLETE;
To override the configured retention policy for individual backups - use BACKUP.. KEEP (or CHANGE.. KEEP)
Configure backups to run in parallel by assigning two sbt channels:
RMAN> CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE sbt PARALLELISM 2;
Reset any CONFIGURE setting to its default by running the command with the CLEAR option
RMAN> CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE sbt CLEAR;
RMAN> CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY CLEAR;

Need the rman backup sequence in taking the backup

Hi,
I just need the sequence in taking the backup of full database through rman.
Current method
1. Datafiles
2. Archivelog files
3. Control file.
But I am noticing missing of some archive log when i am doing the recovery files. So, i just want to change my nightly backup to the below procedure
1. datafiles
2. control files
3. archivelog files.
Correct me, the suitable procedure for scheduling.
Thanks,
Ramesh G
Edited by: user13095767 on Sep 7, 2012 9:02 PM

Let me explain my question once again..
I didn't get my requirements..
Recently, faced a scenario while recovery my database...
I am having nightly scheduled backup in the below manner...
1. database backup.
2. archive log files backup
3. control file backup.
My archive log files backup completed by 22:10. and my control file backup completed by 22:29. In between there was an archive generated at around 22:15.
i want to restore and recover the database with this backup. Followed the below scenario
1. restored the controlfile
2. restore database
3. recover database
Finally, it is asking for the archive generated at 22:15 and at 22:49.
So, by this i came to know that my database backed up with missing of archives. if i go with the below scenario of taking the backup
1. datafiles
2. control files
3. archive log files
Thinking that the archive log files backup pieces infomation will not be available in the controlfile..
Which one will be the best option in scheduling our backups.
Taking controlfile backup before archivelog or taking archivelog backup and then the controlfile.
Thanks,
Ramesh G

Restoring 20/25 % from the RMAN Backup

Hello Guys,
I have a production environment with size of TBytes, and I would like to create a new test environment but with a smaller amount of data, so i need to take a hot full backup from the database then restore only 20% to 25% from the original data to a new fresh database.
The question, is this scenario Doable ?, do we have particular way to do this approach ?
Thanks for your help !

Hello Paul,
You mean that if i have some constraints, it will be difficult to take the backup using the expdp ?, now we are deciding to use the expdp/impdp to take the backup from the production database and restore it in a new fresh database, please consider that we will use the SAMPLE to take around 20% to 25% from the original data.
Do we have have any restrictions for this scenario ?
Thanks for your help.
Mahmoud Darwish.The problem is that the SAMPLE (or nothing else inherent in expdp) is going to know about cross-table relationships. So it samples 20% of your invoice_detail table. What's to tell it which rows from invoice_header are needed to match those specific invoice_detail rows?

My iPhone a few days ago started asking me the password whenevr I manually start the iCloud backup.

What's the problem? It happens to someone else? Thank you all for your attention.

settings - general - reset - erase all contents and settings - after it is done, you will have the option to restore from icloud - choose that. NOTE: This will bring back data from the last time you backup at the Apple store. So if you had any current data - you won't be able to get it back.
