Move backup on another server

Hi,
I made a backup using rman and the following: RMAN> backup database;
can I restore this backup on another server? If yes how can I do this?
Thank you

Go for RMAN duplication. Check the links below.

Rman backup to another server

Hello!
This is the scenario:
I have a primary database(oracle 10g) and a standby database, created using Rman.
Is there a way to backup the standby database and transfer the backup to another server, so I can have the database in a third server that is neither primary nor standby.
Thank in advance!

Hi user10385894,
Is there a way to backup the standby database and transfer the backup to another server?Yes you can copy the backup pieces from the standby side to the third server and copy a controlfilecopy from the primary and register the backup pieces.
Followed by a restore.
Do you happen to have a catalog than even a duplicate can be done easely?

Required config changes to move DB to another server

Can someone provide instructions on what config changes need to be done to move the database to another server? I am assuming there is documented instructions to accomplish this task, but I can not find them.
Thanks.

Hi Doug,
I have not tried just moving the DB, but check out this link.
https://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000307832005E/TemplatesWebAS_640sr1.htm
Click on the link for "Homogeneous and Heterogeneous System Copy". This is the documentation on how to copy Web AS systems. It has info on doing the DB copy. I think you will find what you need there.

Need to test Production Backups on another server.

Dear Expert,
Our SAP Production server is running on HP-UX in cluster mode (ECC 6.0 with oracle 10g). We have sheduled Incremental database online backup (daily) and Full database online + redolog backup (on sunday) on disk, and getting successfull backups.
Now we wanted to test our backup, as it is a running production server so wanted to try on diffrent server.
So we are installing new server on windows 64bit machine with orale database. Our plane is to copy backupfiles of production server to newly installed server and try to restore it.
We need your suggetions on it and the correct way to test the backups if any.
As it is highly important activity, so please revert ASAP.
Regards,
Ajit

Hi Ajit,
I would recommend to test this scenario on HP-UX system only as your production server is on the same operating system.
If there is no urgency for testing the production backup, you can wait until your Quality Server refresh cycle.
You can refresh the Quality server using online/offline backup restore method (backup of production server).
This way, you will get 2 benefits..
1. Your Quality server will be refreshed with production data
2. You can test Production backup consistancy more efficiently.

RMAN Backup on another server

Hi,
I am using oracle database 11g, and I am taking RMAN backup in the same server.
But now I need this RMAN backup to be saved on another server.
I created one database directory, but it did not work with me, since it cannot see the location.
I used the same idea with export file to another server and it worked.
But with RMAN directory it could not work !!!.
So any idea about this ?
Thanks and Best Regards.

RegardsIf your OS is windows then you have to create OracleService using oradim utility,then create need directory for data/control/log files and according background/diag/trace also parameter file.
After creating these directories startup mount database using STARTUP MOUNT PFILE='PFILELOCATION' then issue command RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE in this case oracle will read default location of archive logs and will apply,if this directory is different then main server then execute RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCEL and apply archive logs manually and open database with ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS.

Move CSA MC another server

Aloh -
We have to move CSA MC on a server and need to use that server for another purpose. We backup the database, and when we move the server, will keep the same hostname. Is there anything else to be aware of when doing this move?
Mahalos!
Ben

To the best of my knowledge, the new server must have the same digital certificate as the old one or the hosts can't register.
I've never tried manually replacing the certificate on the MC and don't think the database restore will replace it.
You can manually copy the new server certificate to each host but this is time consuming.
If you are running an older version of CSA on the old server, your best bet is to install the newest version on the new server and run the migration tools to move the hosts from the old server to the new one.

Rescue and Recovery - how can I move backups to another location

I would like to move ma backups from an external drive to other drive. I don't want to make a new full backup but I want to have access to all the previous backups but I just want to use some other external drive. I can't find an option in the Rescue and Recovery Software. Can I just copy the files to the new drive? I am afraid that there would be an error when I try to recover from the backup if I just copy them. Anyone ever tried to copy the backups and then recover from it?

I believe you should not have a problem. The \RRbackups is a "flat" file, geometry not a factor. If the backup external went from basic, to EFI, that might present problems.
What RNR version are you running? Version 5.1 stores more device info/attributes on 2nd HDD, and multiple partitions on the C drive.
Changes in this release:
[New functions or enhancements]
- Added an Active Directory Manager (ADM) setting to set the Create Rescue Media (CRM) function to external media.
- Added support for the unattended backup when you log off the system.
- Added support for the compatibility with the backup on any other computer that is in the same model with your computer if both computers are installed with the Microsoft Windows 7 operating system.
- It enables you to designate the hard disk drive where the Rescue and Recovery program stores the backup and designate the hard disk drive that you attempt to restore.Added support on the computer that is installed with more than one hard disk drive.
==
I dont think this is a issue with you. It seems the comments support multiple HDD like 3 on a system, choose HDD 1, 2 or 3. RNR 5.1 does add more registry entries to registry for all HDD's avaliable. And maybe C drive, partition 1. D drive partition 2, on the same physical. I want to backup C to partition 2. I can't confirm this.
Added support on the computer that is installed with more than one hard disk drive. <release notes. Boring, it has support 2nd hdd for years.
==
(1) What size is your \RRbackups to external old? 5 backups, 32?
(2) copy external old to new. The registry entries SHOULD not know any difference. You got 5 backups on external.
(3) Try a single file restore.
(4) Take a incremental backup to new external.
(5) 10 minutes later, try a FULL restore from item 4.
You might be the 1st user to ever do this, and it should work. I would take 1 last final backup to old external to be on the safe side of things.

Unity - Changing the exchange to another server

Hi guys,
Lets say I have Unity 4.2 set up with exchange on another box. Then the whole exchange server went down without any backups.
My questions is can we install exchange on the same server as Unity?
and then move it to another server(once the server is back)

Unity has an emergency backup mode called UMR and in case the Exchange server goes down it stores the messages locally but is NOT a replacement for exchange and that works only after unity has been properly set with exchange.

Move Backup to tape

Hi, I am going to setup an hotbackup for the Oracle database 11gR2 daily and keep for a year.
Is there any way I only keep 7 day backup in the Oracle machine and move the older backup to another storage, please advise.
Thanks.
Edited by: user12251750 on May 16, 2011 12:54 AM

If you use an FRA and configure the RETENTION POLICY, you can have RMAN maintain disk usage.
However, as for moving backups to another server (e.g. you want to move backups older than 7 days to another server every day), you'd have to script your own methods (e.g. copying over the network).
You should, then, also run CROSSCHECK BACKUP and DELETE NOPROMPT EXPIRED BACKUP commands in RMAN else it will still "log" those backups as consuming disk space.
Note that RMAN will not be "aware" of the backups that have been copied out to the older server. If you need to restore from such backups, you have to copy them backup and then use the CATALOG command to update RMAN's repository before you can RESTORE from such backups.

Move Publisher backup to new server( Cold Standby Server) ?

We have CUCM cluster consist of 1 publisher, 4 subscriber and have installed a new node like another cluster's publisher(with diferent ip address from existing publisher) . When existing publisher goes down we will move publisher backup to new server and change publisher ip address to new server on existing subscribers.
is it posible ?
Our aim is using new server for publisher down issue.(like cold standby server but diferent ip address from existing publisher)
Or is there any better way to install publisher backup on on branch? When publisher goes down we will use the new server like publisher.

Hi
Re: NTP... you can have multiple NTP servers assigned, and only the primary NTP server is used for license MAC generation. As such, I would:
1) set the primary NTP server to be the real NTP address you want to use. This will not be accessible when you build the server with the old servers' IP.
2) set the secondary NTP server to an accessible NTP server. I do this by setting up NTP on the server you serve the SFTP backup file from. I use Meinberg NTP if this is a Windows box, it's free.
That way you can build the server (primary NTP not accessible, but secondary is so it's fine). Then after the restore, change IP address and it will start using the primary NTP server.
I presume deployment type refers to product and role .e.g. a CUCM Publisher, not a CUC server or CUCMBE publisher.

How can I move the ODI Work Repository from one server to another server?

How can I move the ODI Work Repository from one server to another server?

Hi,
If you would like to move your source models, target models and project contents from Work repository 1 to another work repository.
I.e. Dev. server to Prod Server.
1. Firstly, replicate the master repository connections i.e. with same naming conventions manually
2. Go to Dev. Server work repository -> File Tab -> Click on Export work repository (save it in a folder)
3. After exporting, you can view the xml files in the folders.
4. Now, Open the Prod. server and make sure you already replicated mas. rep. details.
5. Now, right click on model and import source model in synonym mode insert_update (select source model from the folder where your xml file located)
6. Similarily, import again target then Project.
Now, check. It should work.
Thank you.
