Oracle 10g database backup & recovery

Hi,
How can i take backup of our oracle 10g database by copy its physical database file and how can i restore them from these files.
is any Strategy other then RMAN??
Regards

Can you afford to shutdown the database? If yes, do a cold backup.
1. Do a clean "shutdown immediate"
2. Copy All the Datafiles, Controlfile, Redo Log Files, Spfile/Init files using Operating System command to a required location
When you want to recover
Just copy the files back to the original destinations and statup the database. But ou hav eto know that if you copied your file by 11:00 on 25/08/06. And you loose your database on 27/08/06, you can only recover back to 25/08/06.
If you cannot afford to shut down your database or loose data, best to run your database in Archivelog Mode. Schedule and use RMAN to do a hot backup at specified time automatically. The advantage is that you do not have to shutdown your database to get a consistent backup like teh cold backup.

Error in Oracle 10g Sechedule Backup

Hi,
I'm having a problem regarding the backup system of Oracle 10g. As I reach the "Schedule Backup-Scheduled" page and press the "Next" button, I get an "Error on page" in the status bar and from that point, I cannot continue.
Please advice me what I should do to avoid this? Or what have I done wrong?
Because of this, I cannot continue my backup process.

all errors are logged, you have a lot of log files to look at, that's why I did not specify one.
On unix, you can find it with something like
find <OEMGCHOME> -type f -mtime -1 -ls | grep log
then grep for your error. It require some research, but it provides a lot of info.
Personnaly, I discovered once that my oem was not working correctly because of an "alter session" I did put in the login.sql. OEM RMAN 10.1.0.2 also does not like non-standard territories/language.

How to get the oracle 10g database backup.

Hi,
i have installed oracle 10g.i need to get the back up of db.
i have search so many sites.i didn't get much information.
some guys tells we go to installed directory in that run"RAMNS".
i am following in the process.after run the rams which commands
i have to used to get the db back up.
C:\Oracle\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\BIN\RAMNS
RAMNS>...(here is the prob which commands i have to used)
i have seen another way solution is you can use "imp" and "exp" present in BIN to take back up.(how to follow this)
please help me,

Would suggest you read the docs on backup, restore. if you cannot restore you db, you are in trouble. read it and understand it well.
Summary:
For 10g, you have rman, imp/exp and datapump import/export (replaces imp/exp).
For very simple backups where you have windows you can shut down, run a cold backup. shutdown the database, copy the database files, and startup. i also take copies of the current pfile and anything else important to restore the database with. we copy the files to a dedicated backup file system, which go to tap, e.
That will give you a simple option to restore.
For prod databases, you typically want archive mode on which means you can run hot or online backups. just remember you have to have the archive logs generated during the hot backup. you now also have the ability to do a point in time restore.
Exp or datapump exp can be used for metadata exports, full exports or partial (schema, table, etc) as needed. i typically run a cold or hot plus an export for redundacy and restore options, but db size will change how you back things up.
You can find plenty of scripts to automate these. just understand how the scripts work and understand the process itself. if not, you will have trouble restoring when it is needed the most.
Rman is also a good option with the latest releases.

How do I create an Oracle 10g offsite backup

Total size of the datafiles that make up the tablespaces of the DB = 1532121.6875 Mb
This size will eventually grow to about 6-7 terrabytes
I used the following query to determine the above size:
SELECT sum(bytes/1048576) FROM dba_extents; I saw this question poseted on another site
QUESTION POSED ON: 15 August 2007
I recently handled a project whereby we have many site servers at various places in our country and there is a central server in Delhi (India). My project is to take a backup of the local server and post that backup to the central server via Internet. I chose the RMAN (Recovery Manager) approach. Using that approach I can back up the database and connect to the remote database. But I can't find how to post the backup to the remote server. Please give me guidance regarding this project.
This was the answer:
EXPERT RESPONSE
Basically, there are two options to have RMAN back up to a remote server. One, back up locally and then FTP the backup to the remote server. Two, create a network file share from the database server to the remote server. Have RMAN back up to the network file share. It will think the file system is local, but in actuality, the file system is in another location.
Currently a level 1 incremental backup is done at 10:00PM every night to the array (this takes approximately 1 hour to be completed). I am interested in doing a full hot offsite backup of the DB to a disk on another server.
Can anyone tell me how would I be able to do this using RMAN and/or backing locally and then FTP'ing the backup to a remote sever.
Can anyone also confirm if the calculation for the size of the DB is accurate?
( I did the calculations based on what I saw at this site and this site)
I would like to do this in preperation for some firmware upgrade that our Sun support would like to do on the array, I would like to implement a script (or maybe use RMAN) to do a nightly offsite backup. I would still need to do the DB backup to the array...but what files do I copy off the array (to the remote server) for an offsite backup of the DB.
I would really appreciate any help.
MY CURRENT RMAN CONFIGS

Thanks for the help, I took a look at the script. Suppose however I didn't/couldn't do any modification of the Oracle RMAN settings (without voiding my support contract). Could I simply copy the necessary DB files to a remote server, would I be able to do a restore (if necessary) from those copied files?
Like I have pointed out before, currently an incremental level 1 backup (to the array) is done nightly at 10 (and it takes approximately 1 hour)

Long-term retention backup strategy for Oracle 10g

Hello,
I need design a Archivelog, Level 0 and Level 1 long-term retention backup strategy for Oracle 10g, It must be based in Rman with tapes.
¿Somebody could tell me what it's the best option to configure long-term retention backups in Oracle?, "CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 1825 DAYS;" It's posibble ?
Regards and thanks in advance

Hello;
RECOVERY WINDOW is an integer so yes its possible. Does it make sense?
Later My bad, this is Oracle 11 only ( the gavinsoorma link ) . Getting harder and harder to think about 10. Don't think I would use RECOVERY WINDOW.
I would let the tape backup system handle the retention of your rman backups.
Using crosscheck and delete expired commands you can keep the catalog current with the available backups on tape.
Oracle 10
Keeping a Long-Term Backup: Example
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/rcmbackp.htm#i1006840
http://web.njit.edu/info/oracle/DOC/backup.102/b14191/advmaint005.htm
Oracle 11
If you want to keep 5 years worth of backups I might just use KEEP specific date using the UNTIL TIME clause :
keep until time 'sysdate+1825'More info :
RMAN KEEP FOREVER, KEEP UNTIL TIME and FORCE commands

Oracle 10g new feature to backup to tape?

I heard rumours that Oracle 10g has new features to backup to tape directly. I don't know exactly how this is done, and I'd like the experts to comment. What I've discovered so far is that there is this program called Legato Single Server Version (LSSV) which ships with the Oracle 10g Companion CD which makes RMAN use the tape directly as a medium to backup. Is this CD available for download?

I am truly curious why you actively ask to avoid the "New Features Guide" which provides much of the information you desire.

But make sure you have the backup before deleting/renaming the the file you backed up by HOTbackup

Oracle 10g standby configuration - Restoring primary backup to Standby DB.

Hi experts,
This is my first time configuring a Standby (Data Guard) scenario for our Oracle data base. The platform used is Solaris 10 with Oracle 10g.
After reviewing a lot of documents and tutorials regarding this matter still have some doubts on how to get this scenario finally configured.
Basically I would like some confirmations regarding the following point. We have the new db already installed in our disaster recovery site and the next step I need to do is to perform an offline backup from our primary data base and then transfer that backup to our standby database. Iu2019m currently stuck in this steps since Iu2019m not completely sure on how proceed with this specific step. According to the following link http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/08/5744b84ae611d1894f0000e829fbbd/content.htm , the following steps are necessary:
       1.      Take a backup (online or offline) of the data files of the production database
       2.      Create a control file at the production site to be used at the standby site, by entering the following command:
alter database create standby controlfile as <filename>
       3.      Archive the current online redo log of the production database, by entering the following command:
alter system archive log current
       4.      Transfer the backed up data files, the control file and all archived redo log files to the standby site.
Regarding the above step u201C4u201D... Could someone please detail me what all the data files are? As per SAP System Copy guide in its section u201CRestoring Database Files on the Target Systemu201D the following is indicated...and I think these are the files to transfers to the standby db.
Files/oracle/<DBSID>/sapdata<x>
All files/oracle/<DBSID>/origlog<x>
All files/oracle/<DBSID>/mirrlog<x>
Is my assumption correct?
Please let me know which the correct steps are and if any other process is applicable or advisable over the above mentioned....let me know.
Regards

Hi,
As far as cold backup of database is concerned, backup of the folders you have mentioned is enough.
Hope you have created a parameter file for the standby database and changed the primary parameter file as part of preparation of primary database.
Here is a sample entry you have to have on standby parameter file apart from other entries..
db_unique_name='STANDBY'
fal_client='STANDBY'
fal_server='PRIMARY'
log_archive_config='DG_CONFIG=(PRIMARY,STANDBY)'
Also browse through the following threads...it may help..
