Monitoring backup success

Hi,
Version 10204.
I am using HP Data Protector Manager to verify and monitor success of my backups:
- daily backup (inc. level 1)
- weekly backup (inc. leve 0)
- and archived backup
1. I would like to know which SQL statment i need to run in order to verify backups finished successfuly.
Please note that i am not looking for RMAN commands . I am looking for SQL statments i can run against the catalog.
For example how can i verify that the daily_backup bellow finished successfully ?
2. Bellow are two RMAN scripts. one for my archive backup and the second one for my daily backup.
Which SQL statment i nedd to run against the catalog in order to verfiy the status of the backup , and how can i notice the difference between them ?
3. Is it possible to check the status of the last backup being taken - BASED ON ITS NAME : for example "perp_daily" ?
perp_archive
============
run {
allocate channel 'dev_0' type 'sbt_tape'
parms 'ENV=(OB2BARTYPE=Oracle8,OB2APPNAME=perp,OB2BARLIST=perp_archive)';
allocate channel 'dev_1' type 'sbt_tape'
parms 'ENV=(OB2BARTYPE=Oracle8,OB2APPNAME=perp,OB2BARLIST=perp_archive)';
sql 'alter system archive log current';
backup filesperset 1
format 'perp_archive<perp_%s:%t:%p>.dbf'
archivelog all delete input;
perp_daily
==========
run {
allocate channel 'dev_0' type 'sbt_tape'
parms 'ENV=(OB2BARTYPE=Oracle8,OB2APPNAME=perp,OB2BARLIST=perp_daily)' maxopenfiles 16;
allocate channel 'dev_1' type 'sbt_tape'
parms 'ENV=(OB2BARTYPE=Oracle8,OB2APPNAME=perp,OB2BARLIST=perp_daily)' maxopenfiles 16;
backup incremental level 1
filesperset 1
format 'perp_daily<perp_%s:%t:%p>.dbf'
database;
backup
filesperset 1
format 'perp_daily<perp_%s:%t:%p>.dbf'
current controlfile;

Hi Pavan,
I need this information for daily scripts that check the status of the backup , and alert me in case of failure.
I only need to know if the rman backup script eventually finished seccsessfuly or failed.
I found the answer for most of my question in the view : RC_RMAN_BACKUP_JOB_DETAILS
The problem is that i can not recognize a different between my daily increment backup (level 1) , and my weekly incremental backup (level 0)
from this view.
Any Suggestions ?
Thanks

How to monitor the success of database shutdown command

Sometimes , the "shutdown immediate" command can fail on one of our databases. We want to monitor the success of the shutdown command. If it fails, then we will issue a "shutdown abort" command. My question is: how can I monitor the success of database shutdown command?
sqlplus / as sysdba <<EOF
shutdown immediate
EOF
if failed ???? ;then
sqlplus / as sysdba <<EOF
shutdown abort
EOF
Thanks in advance for your help!

No version, no platform. How do you expect help?
And what does 'fail' mean?
A few remarks:
You can have sqlplus error out to the O/S by using whenever sqlerror exit failure
Shutdown immediate usually doesn't fail but just doesn't complete.
One would usually monitor the alert log as to check what is going on, and issue the shutdown abort in a different session.

Time Machine/Time Capsule backups successful, but take a long time

I purchased a 512GB Time Capsule about a year ago. Since I got it, backups have been successful, but very slow. An average backup takes about 40-50 minutes, usually for less than 20 MB transferred.
Here are a couple summaries of recent backups (see end of post for full logs):
BACKUP 1:
11 minutes to detect if pre-backup thinning was necessary
18 minutes to copy 281 MB
5 minutes to copy 5.4 MB
4 minutes to start post-backup thinning
2 minutes to delete 1 expired backup
There were no error messages.
BACKUP 2:
4 minutes to detect if pre-backup thinning was necessary
12 minutes to copy 15 MB
5 minutes to detect if pre-backup thinning was necessary
15 minutes to copy 3.8 MB
1 minutes to start post-backup thinning
2 minutes to delete 1 expired backup
This time, there were error messages about "Unable to rebuild path cache for source item. Partial source path:"
My Time Capsule is placed about 5 feet from my laptop, with no obstructions between them. I don't think it's a wireless speed issue, because I use the Time Capsule as my router, and my connection to the net is fine. Also, operations that don't require wireless connections, like detecting pre-backup thinning, also take a long time.
Does anyone have any idea what might be going wrong to cause my regular backups to take so long?

I checked all of the steps in #D2 of the Troubleshooting Guide.
One other thing thing you might try, is a +*Verify Disk+* (not permissions) on your internal HD. That will not take anything like 40 hours! If it reports problems, you'll have to boot from your Install disc and use it's copy of DU to repair it. Post back if you need to do this but aren't sure how.
I think it's very fishy that Repair Disk took 40 hours -- it seems like any operation that touches the hard drive on the Time Capsule takes a long time. Maybe the hard drive is having problems? What sort of problems could a drive have that would make everything VERY slow, but still successful?
Try connecting via an Ethernet cable; see what effect that has. Everything should be faster, of course, but not wildly. Just as an example, I'm doing backups to a USB hard drive via my Airport Extreme, about 15 feet from my iMac. When I first started that way, I did a full backup via Ethernet (about 21 gb/hour), then erased it and ran again wirelessly (about 12 gb/hour).
Even 5 feet apart, you may have some sort of interference or other communications problem; if Ethernet is many times faster, then you may need to have your TC and/or wireless card examined.

How do you monitor backup progress

How can you monitor the progress of a backup? I use timemachine and an external drive to do my backups on my 09 Macbook pro. I want to be able to see the amount of files transferred and time remaining or any other pertinent info. Not just a spinning wheel.

I don't know, I use bootable clones myself and it shows me the progress of the backup and updating of files.
However I can point you to this guy who is the local TM guru
All about Time Machine
If you want to learn more about all sorts of backups to diversify your restore options (TM can fail to restore properly), including bootable clones etc. then read my UT here on the subject.
Most commonly used backup methods explained
I personally don't use TimeMachine, preferring the more advanced bootable clone options.

Hard drive replaced, backup successful, now can't sync to time machine

Hi Guys
I had a failing hard drive (S.M.A.R.T. status) so I got the hard drive replaced on my apple care plan. I had been able to successfully back-up the entire system using a WD My passport for Mac (1TB). The tech uploaded the new Lion operating system and then plugged in my WD to reinstate the computer. All went well. However, now my computer won't continue the Time Machine backups from where it left off, rather wants to reback-up the whole system again, which it can't as there is insufficient room on the drive. Do I have to delete everything on the external drive and start again?

There's no way to avoid the need to back up all your files, as Time Machine has no way of knowing they're the same as they were on the old drive. The best solution is to start a new backup on another external drive. You need more than one backup anyway, to be safe. When you're sure you'll no longer need the data on the backup drive you have now, erase it and start over.

Monitor backup job from db control

Dear Oracle users,
My database version is standard edition 10.2.0.3. I set up some database backup jobs from db console on our test db server including ‘schedule oracle-suggested backup’ and ‘schedule customized backup’.
The jobs are running very well at daily schedule. However, I need to monitor them in case they failed. Is there any way I can monitor these jobs through db console?
Thanks,
Belinda

Recovery of files , drive missing, yet backups successful using GPT disk 4TB USB backup destination

I have an HP ML310e G8 v2 server with 4x1TB drives in RAID 5. I created 2 logical drives in the array. Disk0 (C:\) is 250GB and has the Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials OS installed formatted NTFS with MBR. Drive1 (E:\) is 2.5TB formatted NTFS with GPT
this drive is used for the server shares and other client data.
I am using Azure Online backup to protect the critical client data.
Local backup - I am also using Windows Server Backup to perform a full system, bare metal backup. This backup writes to a 4TB western digital USB 3 drive, formatted NTFS and using GPT.
The Problem is when I attempted to perform a test recovery of a file from the local backup using Windows Server Backup. I am able to browse files to recover on the C:\ but the E:\ does not appear as a location to perform a recovery from. Yet the WBS configuration
indicates that backups have been running successfully and that the backup size corresponds to the proper data size for the full server (approximately 600GB).
Does anyone know why the E:\ does not appear as a drive to browse and recover files from?
From the reading I did I "thought" that the >2TB and 4k sector size problems from Windows Server Backup on 2008 had been fixed in 2012R2. Maybe my problem is not related to this but I can't think of any other possible problem.
MZ

Hi MZ,
Based on your description, I’m a little confused with this issue. You describe “I am able to browse files
to recover on the C:\ but the E:\ does not appear as a location to perform a recovery from.” Would you please provide a screenshot? It may help me to understand that which step you failed to recover. (Please hide all private and protected information.)
Meanwhile, would you please open WindowsImageBackup folder and navigate to that backup file (VHDX file). Please
mount it, and assign a drive letter to it in Disk Management. Then please check if you can find all files.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

Backup 3.1 claims backup success but history shows error -54

My incremental backup repeatedly fails to copy my Entourage database 120MB to my iDisk:
Copied file /Users/Andy/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2004 Identities/.DS_Store
Unable to copy /Users/Andy/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2004 Identities/Main Identity/Database: Mac OS error -54.
Failure to backup a critical file is definitely a "Failed" backup so should be reported as an incomplete job
Any ideas how to correct this error?
iMac 20" G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and enter ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2004 Identities/Main Identity/ as the folder's path. When this folder has appeared, select the Database file in the Finder and choose Get Info from the File menu. Verify that you have Read & Write access to it; if you do, find out where Backup is putting the files and check that nothing there is interfering with the process.

How to monitor Backup Battery Unit ? UCS C-210, CIMC 1.4(3p)

Hello,
I'm looking for a monitoring solution to detect BBU failure for our UCS C210 running CIMC 1.4(3p)
Two leads that come to mind are
- SNMP
- LSI MegaRAID Storage Manager
SNMP, the OID CISCO suggests to do that is 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.719.1.45.11.1.9 (bbuoperstatus). Tried it, didn't work out. It shows status = 1 (OK) for all of our UCS ! Moreover, the OID no longer exists in CIMC 1.5
LSI MegaRAID Storage Manager, someone knows how to add UCS into its Host View ? Does the MSM needs to be in the same subnet that the UCS or CIMC ?
If you have any solution to monitor the BBU, please help.
Thanks alot.

RMAN Backup successful check - efficient method

I am looking for efficient single method/commands to check weekly RMAN backups -ok. eg july03-july10 all backup ok, if someone can post single command to check weekly backup(or from this date to this date) would help...
Right now i just, i just go to backup log dir and do
grep -i 'ERROR' *07-08-2009.log
grep -i 'ERROR' *07-09-2009.log and for each date....which is not so efficient & its manual

Tracking the logical backups' success

DB version:10.2.0.4
OS : Solaris 5.10
We have 45 schemas in one of our critical production DBs.
Apart from the RMAN backups, we take logical backups of all the business related 45 schemas.
A shell script is dynamically generated and executed every day to take EXP backups of all these 45 schemas
I need to create a PL/SQL code or Shell script which will notify us through email if any of the EXP commands have failed.
What is the 'professional' way to do this? We already have the Email sending PL/SQL procedure ready.

Will Enterprise Manager send mails when individual schemas's backups have failed ?EM would send mail when the requested job is failed and you have configured another , backup job which would run and send an email. So the answer would be IMO, it depends .

How to monitor the successful archive log shipment to the standby database

Hello,
From the primary database, which data dictionary do I view to get information whether the standby database has received and processed the archive logs from the primary database. Both databases are 11202 on linux. Another question, which views on the primary database contain a flag sent by the standby database to the primary database to let the primary database knows that the standby database is up and functional? My purpose is to query the primary database for infomation that tell me the standby database is alive and functioning. I want to only query the primary database for these information about the standby database. Thank you in advance.

Accidentally removed the ability to use remote desktop

Hi,
Thanks to anyone that can assist.
Using SBS2011 Standard:
Whilst remotely connected and investigating ways to allow an ordinary domain user to have login access to the server, I inadvertently removed the ability of the primary domain admin user to gain access with remote desktop. By primary domain admin
user, I mean the default user created for administrative purposes at SBS set up/install time.
I was able to regain remote desktop access by adding this user to the Remote Desktop Users group. However this is really a workaround rather than proper corrective action. I know that this is not necessary in a basic default setup of SBS2011 as there are
other almost identical servers I look after where I have not needed to do this and yet still have remote desktop connection capability with "out of the box" settings.
Also, I would really like to find out what mistake I made so that I can avoid doing this again.
Tricky

Hello Larry,
Your suggestion of comparing ADUC across servers was one that I had already thought of and done but I did not notice any differences. Nonetheless, your post suggested to me that I ought to recheck my steps, so I revisited it and was mortified to find that
somehow the admin user was no longer a member of Administrators. I am baffled as to how I managed to achieve this because to the best of my memory, Administrators group membership was not one of the things I looked at in connection with my intent (read on
for my logic in this respect).
I suspect that this might be the problem! I will attempt to rectify and return to this thread in due course.
WRT granting a user logon rights at the server, I hear what you are saying and even said the same to myself. But let's just for the moment look at the real world rather than the ideal world. Many SBS installations are in the types of businesses that are,
let's face it, small (after all that is what the first S in SBS stands for). Such business cannot afford qualified IT personel and as such need to designate certain trusted members of staff to carry out some of the things that, if they had any, IT personel
would normally do. For example, swapping external USB hdd's and monitoring backup success/failure.
Rather than allow them to logon to the server as an administrator, safer I would have thought to allow them to logon as a user. Unless you can tell me of a way that this can be done from a user logon at their client PC? My knowledge is not encyclopaedic
so I am open to suggestions of a better way if such a way exists.
Tricky
