Need Advice on RMAN backup script

Hi;
Can any one advice if any error or guide to make RMAN backup proper :
Backup Policy are:
1.     0 level backup
2.     current log file is arvhived before backing up
3.     backup whole database (datafiles)
4.     backup separate control file
5.     backup is done on disk
6.     control file auto backup ON
7.     only 7 days archive log are need to be preserve ; old need to be deleted
### one time paramters seting
RMAN> CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK;
RMAN> CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 2;
RMAN> CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 'O:\rman\backup\Auto_Ctrl_weekly_%F';
RMAN> CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
### Command for weekly 0 level backup
run {
allocate channel c1 type disk;
sql 'alter system archive log current';
backup incremental level 0 tag = weekly_database format 'o:\rman\backup\full_weekly_%d_%s_%p_%t'(database);
release channel c1;
configure controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to 'o:\rman\backup\auto_ctrl_weekly_%f';
allocate channel c1 type disk;
backup tag = weekly_arch archivelog until time 'sysdate-7' format 'o:\rman\backup\archive_weekly_%d_%s_%p_%t';
delete archivelog until time 'sysdate-7';
release channel c1;

Dear Pierre F.;
Actually, I just added in my backup plan to have daily backup through RMAN, instead of COLD backup.
I have planned to take cold backup once a week. here is the side of data:
*** datafile 410
*** size of database : 86 GM
*** relog files size : 250MB
*** daily archive logs are : 250MB * 4(number of files) = 1GM aprox.
yes, time constraint is there; just because of the size of database. and we r going for 24/7
Is this script going to run only one per week ?
Ans: no I this was level 0 backup; i will take level 1 incremental backup with same script daily too.
Do you have any other RMAN script ?
ANS: no, I will modify same script for incremental.
after local copy of backup all backup files (RMAN) will be copy over network to backup server or we can install LTO tape device to copy directly from database server.
kindly advise me I am new in RMAN.
regards;
SMITH

Rman backup script suggestion

Hi,
I have script bellow. I want to run in one script on linux as shell script: how can i do that. i have very limited knowledge about it:

setenv ORACLE_HOME "/location/db1"
setenv TWO_TASK "DB1"
setenv ORACLE_SID "DB1"
rman run {

oracle> rman target /
rman> CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK FORMAT '/backuplocation/DB1RMAN/%U';
# Perform full database backup
backup Database format '/backuplocation/DB1RMAN/%d_FULL_%U.bck';Your use of "format" is redundant with your channel allocation.
# Open database after backup complete
sql 'alter database open';
sql 'ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE';No need to shell out to sql. those commands are accepted directly by rman.

Oracle 9i Rman backup script !!

hi,
We are taking rman backup level 0. While making this backup the backup size is very big i.e. let's suppose if DB size is some 100GB then backup size would be somewhere around 60-70 GB. I need to know , does anybody having any script which compresses the backup sets after they get generated during the backup i.e. lets suppose 10 backup sets get generated, what I need to know is when RMAN is generating lets say 2 backup can we compress 1st backupset and so on like when 3rd backup set is getting generated we compress the 2nd backupset and so on till 10th backup set.
Let me know if anybody needs more information on this...I know it's a typical requirement :o))

hello Hamir,
what operating system are you working on
after the backup you could call a routine in unix to gzip file_name
or in windows to use winzip.
however in 9i to restore the database you would then need to unzip the files first.
what possibility do you have to upgrade to 10g, this has the ability to automatically compress the backup set from within RMAN.

RMAN Backup script for RAC Database..please suggest

Hi All,
I am currently working on backup policy for RAC Database for my client.The client requirement is to backup while database is shutdown(mount state).I have made below script and could any one please suggest what further things should I need to add with below rman script.
echo "Shutdown Database";date
srvctl stop database -d PROD
srvctl status database -d PROD
echo "Database shutdown on";date
echo "Mount Database ";date
srvctl start instance -d PROD -i "PROD1" -o mount
srvctl status database -d PROD
echo "Start Full Database Backup on";date
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / nocatalog <<EOF

allocate channel c2 device type disk connect 'sys/*****@node2-vip:1521/PROD';
backup format '/BACKUP/PRODBKP/PROD_df_%t_%s_%p.bak'(database);
backup format '/BACKUP/PRODBKP/archive_%t_%s_%p.bak' archivelog all;
copy current controlfile to '/BACKUP/PRODBKP/PROD.ctl';
delete noprompt obsolete;
release channel c1;
release channel c2;
exit
EOF
echo "RMAN Backup Finished on";date
echo "Shutdown Database";date
srvctl stop database -d PROD
echo "Start Database";date
srvctl start database -d PROD
srvctl status database -d PROD
Please share your experiences.
Regards

Hi,
Some tweaks for your script.
echo "Shutdown Database";date
srvctl stop database -d PROD
srvctl status database -d PROD
echo "Database shutdown on";date
echo "Mount Database ";date
srvctl start instance -d PROD -i "PROD1" -o mount1. If you database does not shutdown properly , does your script stops the execution of next step?
2. configure controlfile autobackup on;
configure controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to '/BACKUP/PRODBKP/%F';(Why you need to configure this every time) ?
It's persistent at db level one time setting (until some other script changes the settings by other dba - else remove that - set the configuration at db level once for all)

I need help making a backup script

I'm trying to create this full system backup script that I plan to run manually. I have some commands to compress and extract my root directory and everything in it, but they're not complete because there are a few other features I would like to have. The problem is that I have no idea how to implement these specific features, and my googling of bash scripting documentation only left me confused and at square 1. This is what I have so far (just commands I can run in the terminal):
To compress:
sudo tar -cpf ~/archive.tar.gz / --exclude=/proc
To extract & restore:
sudo tar -xpf /home/agi/archive.tar.gz -C /
I want this script to:
1. allows me to run as
sh ~/.bin/backup.sh [directory to back up]
What I mean is there should be some sort of parameter in the script so that when I run it, I can choose whatever directory I want to compress rather than just be limited to just /.
2. puts finished .tar.gz in my home directory (I plan to transfer the archive to external media or online later; this gives me the freedom to not need to have a specific drive connected to run the script). I already have this in the commands, but I just wanted to point out that this is important.
3. names finished .tar.gz DD-MM-YY-backup.tar.gz where DD is day, MM is month, YY is year.
4. the "sudo" part works correctly. That is, the script, when run, asks for a password and can be granted root permissions (or is granted root permissions in some other way) so that I can back up all parts of my system without these sorts of errors.
5. shows some sort of progress indicator. Either a progress bar, shows the tar program output, or something that gives me an indication that the script is working and perhaps how long it will take. This one is really optional, for as long as the process is working properly then I'm ok. But if it is possible and not ridiculously complicated or difficult, it would be very nice.

What I mean is there should be some sort of parameter in the script so that when I run it, I can choose whatever directory I want to compress rather than just be limited to just /.
On my backup script, I specify $* which should accept any arguments passed to the script.. ex: $ ./backup.sh /source/folder /source/folder2.
in the script:
#!/bin/sh
tar -cpf $HOME/$(date +%d%m%Y)-backup.tar.gz $* --exclude=/proc
2. puts finished .tar.gz in my home directory (I plan to transfer the archive to external media or online later; this gives me the freedom to not need to have a specific drive connected to run the script). I already have this in the commands, but I just wanted to point out that this is important.
In the above script, that is what the ~ or $HOME should do..
3. names finished .tar.gz DD-MM-YY-backup.tar.gz where DD is day, MM is month, YY is year.
Same thing, the above script should do the trick, you might want to modify the date parameters (check the date manual)
4. the "sudo" part works correctly. That is, the script, when run, asks for a password and can be granted root permissions (or is granted root permissions in some other way) so that I can back up all parts of my system without these sorts of errors.
You could put something to prevent the script from running unless you are root, or you could have it prompt for a password and use sudo within the script. I would recommend the first. Here is a code snippet:
#Check for root
if [ $(whoami) != "root" ]; then
echo "Error: You cannot perform this operation unless you are root"
exit 1
fi
5. shows some sort of progress indicator. Either a progress bar, shows the tar program output, or something that gives me an indication that the script is working and perhaps how long it will take. This one is really optional, for as long as the process is working properly then I'm ok. But if it is possible and not ridiculously complicated or difficult, it would be very nice.
You might be able to use a similar program to tar, but with progress. Maybe someone else could shed some light here..
Hope this helps...

Need inputs on RMAN Backup n Recovery for multiple restore of clean backup

I will explain my scenario below:
We have the requirement of performance testing of our proposed production platform, for this i am asked to take RMAN backup of clean position (Say Day0 or baseline backup) and restore it multiple times for few rounds of testing. My question is after 1st restore (with set until time of day0 position) if i open the database with resetlogs, would i be able to restore same clean backup again? I am using control file in the environment instead of RMAN catalog database. What i can do to make this scenario work? I am already in preperation of setting rman catalog database.
Please suggest me the best way forward...
Many Thanks
Nukesh

Need to Configure RMAN backup in 8.1.7.4.1

I have been asked to design a backup and recovery strategy for our production and test databases
I got 2003 Enterprise server with 3 disks of each 300gb.
There are 10 databases running in versions 8,9,10 with 5 production and 5 UAT database.
The sum of the Db will be around 70Gb
I got 200Gb free space in 2 disks
how can i design a BACKUP startegy here. I have palnned to use RMAN backups.
Any useful links and proper guiding from you people expected.
Right Now there is only export backup in Night.
I have informed them we are running the Db in risk,.They have asked me to comeup with a plan.
Any help please

I have test 10g catalog with 9i. No idea with the 8i.
I guess, 8i(817) is more comportable with 10g and it should work.
Have a try with your test database and also cross check the metrix with different version in the Metalink.
Jaffar
Good news Maran,
I just come across of the following note which explains the RMAN compatibility between 8 - 10g versions.
RMAN Compatibility Oracle8i 8.1.7.4 - Oracle10g 10.1.0.4
Doc ID: Note:307022.1
In case, if you dont have access to metalink, the punch line from the note is :
SUMMARY
=======
Is best practice to use 'rule of thumb'. Always used the target database RMAN executable and the latest release of Oracle for your recovery catalog.
If you are going to use a lower version RMAN executable to backup higher version databases remember you are restricted to only the features available
in the database your using. But the executable you are using must be able to handle the feature or configuration you are using. Case and point the
RMAN-06466 error above where in 9.0.1 there is no concept of "AS BACKUPSET".
Because configure commands were executed some options in the controlfile were not understood when parsed by the lower version RMAN.

Try this ...
RUN {
RECOVER COPY OF DATABASE WITH TAG 'incr_backup' UNTIL TIME 'SYSDATE - 7';
BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1 FOR RECOVER OF COPY WITH TAG 'incr_backup' DATABASE;
The RECOVER COPY... line will not do anything until the script has been running for more than 7 days. The BACKUP INCREMENTAL line will perform a complete backup (level 0) the first day it is run, with all subsequent backups being level 1 incremental backups. After 7 days, the RECOVER COPY... line will start to take effect, merging all incremental backups older than 7 days into the level 0 backup, effectively moving the level 0 backup forward. The effect of this is that you will permanently have a 7 day recovery window with a 7 day old level 0 backup and 6 level 1 incremental backups. Notice that the tag must be used to identify which incremental backups apply to which image copies

RMAN Backup Script Help

Hi,
We currently have an RMAN script that runs nightly to backup the database, including the archivelogs and purge. We are using flashback and would like to keep the archivelog available for 3 days.
I changed this:
backup check logical as compressed backupset archivelog all format '${RMAN_DIR}/%d_ARC_%Y%M%D_%s_%p'
delete input;
To this:
backup check logical as compressed backupset archivelog until time 'sysdate-3' format '${RMAN_DIR}/%d_ARC_%Y%M%D_%s_%p'
delete input;
I changed "all" to "until time 'sysdate-3'" and want to confirm this before I do anything. Thanks.

Kamran's video would clear you everything.
I just want to add few quick steps from my side.
Step1.Make sure RMAN is connected to the right target database and the recovery catalog.
Then run the CREATE SCRIPT command, as shown in this example:
CREATE SCRIPT full_bkup
allocate channel ch1 type disk format '/backups/rman/%n%M%D%Y%s%U.bak' maxpiecesize 4G;
sql 'alter system archive log current';
sql 'alter system switch logfile';
backup incremental level 0 tag=rman_10 filesperset=5 database include current controlfile;
sql 'alter system archive log current';
sql 'alter system switch logfile';
release channel ch1;
Step2.Create a shell script rman_bkup_10g.ksh as below and initiate execution of the above script from this shell script.
rman target sys/sys-pwd@tgt-db-conn-str catalog rman/rman-pwd@rec-cat-conn-str
run {execute script *full_bkup*;}
exit
Step3.Schedule the shell script rman_bkup_10g.ksh in crontab as below(The example shows,the shell script gets executed everyday at 05:30)
30 05 * * * /path/to/script/rman_bkup_10g.ksh >> /path/to/log/rmanbkup.log
You may please tailor the scripts as per your need.

You are going to want to at least set the following RMAN parameters. You may need to set other depending on your environment.

I am looking to buy a UPS backup. I am not sure how many joules I should be looking for and what would be overkill.
I have a G5 tower, VCR, Monitor, NTSC monitor, printer, speakers and also plug in my camera(s) frequently.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Steve

There is an APC UPS selector here
http://apc.com/tools/ups_selector/index.cfm
which will give you an idea of the size you need in VA. Then you can look around for makes and models to suit.
It doesn't exactly align obviously with the G5 models, so I just select the biggest.
I have a 1000VA (230volt) APC Smart-UPS for the set-up below.
The Smart-UPS has a sine-wave output which is said to be better for computers.
Laser printers should not be connected to the UPS for battery back-up, because of their high load.
There is some technical discussion of UPS for G5 if you search on "UPS" in the box at top right.
Post again if you have any queries.

Generate RMAN backup Script using unix shell script

Hello,
Could somebody give me a unix shell script that would generate RMAN script based on some user defined parameters in a config file.
e.g.
rman.conf
CHANNELS=4
USE_CATALOG=Y
DEVICE='sbt_tabe'
etc.,
many thanks,
kam

You can actually encapsulate the RMAN commands inside the shell script.
However if you really want to create a seperate RMAN script file, you can use the unix shell's "echo" command to write set variables to a file.
Thus, for example,
echo "rman target / catalog rman/rmanpassword@crcat" > RMAN_Script.rmn
echo "backup database plus archivelog" >> RMAN_Script.rmn
echo "backup archivelog all" >> RMAN_Script.rmn
creates RMAN_Script.rmn with 3 commands.

RMAN backup script

OS windows 2000 server
database 9i
I am planning following script for backup of database.
run{
allocate channel ch1 type disk;
backup
format 'E:\oracle\backup\/%d_%s'
database plus archivelog delete input;
release channel ch1;
Want to overwrite the backup on every sunday on disk.
1.What changes should I make in script so that RMAN should not create new file
and overwrite older one.

Thanks.
Now I can schedule backup job through above script.
With this script
run{
allocate channel ch1 type disk;
backup
format 'E:\oracle\backup\/%d_%s'
database plus archivelog delete input;
release channel ch1;
and CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1;
I want to delete obsolete backup
run{
allocate channel ch1 type disk;
backup
format 'E:\oracle\backup\/%d_%s'
database plus archivelog delete input;
delete obsolete;
release channel ch1;
It is not working as delete obsolete command asks for confirmation (YES/NO)?
How to do it ?
