Oracle 8 backup on windows NT 4.0

If you stop the oracle services without shutting down the instance and do your OS backup (running in NOARCHIVELOG mode), does this backup is good to use or you have to shutdown instance using shutdown immediate or GUI tools and then do your backup.

Shutting the down the database and taking a cold backup is always advisable. However you use the backup taken by stopping the service.

Oracle-Backup from Windows to Unix-Samba over FTP

Hello!
I would like to set up backup for Oracle DB from Tcode DB13.
<b>My SAP systems are installed on Windows (64 Bit).
The backup data should be saved on the Unix-Samba share via FTP.</b>
If I execute DB-Backup the backup is successful, BUT:
The file names are very strange e.g. S3FV1~6
The second problem is that the files will be written to the wrong directory
(I have set the path to "sap/backup" and the files will be written to "sap").
My question is:
<b>Which FTP-server-parameters or settings in the init<DBSID>.sap are responsible for this issue?</b>
The second problem I have:
I have two SAP Systems installed on the same host.
If I execute redo logs archive from DB13 I get the error "no files processing", because of I already executed redo logs for the other SAP system on the same host.
How can I set up this issue?
Thank you very much
regards

Hi Peter!
Excuse me, but my problem is still open and it is very important.
I have posted the similar post to the Forum "Data transfers", because it makes sence to ask not only Oracle-experts, but also experts in area data transfers.
I think my problem is more FTP-server settings than oracle.
BUT I am not sure.
Please excuse me once again, if I have made mistake.
Can you please recommend how to proceed with my question?
Thank you very much!
regards

Oracle 10g on Windows Server off-line database backup - a few questions

I'd like to do an Oracle off-line backup every night. Please tell me what you think about my plan.
First, run this batch file.
set oracle_sid=PLDG
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\bin\sqlplusw.exe /nolog @c:\oracle\product\oradata\pldg\shutdb.sql
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\bin\oradim -shutdown -sid PLDG -shuttype srvc
net stop OracleORADB10GTNSListenerPLDG
This is the shutdb.sql script that the above batch file calls.
set echo on
spool C:\oracle\product\oradata\pldg\shutdb.log
connect /@pledgemaker as sysdba
shutdown immediate
spool off
exit
....that should shut down the database.
Now I will copy the files that the following three queries pulls up to another server.
SQL> select name from sys.v_$datafile;
NAME
C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\ORADATA\PLDG\SYSTEM01.DBF
C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\ORADATA\PLDG\UNDOTBS01.DBF
C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\ORADATA\PLDG\SYSAUX01.DBF
C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\ORADATA\PLDG\DRSYS01.DBF
C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\ORADATA\PLDG\ODM01.DBF
C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\ORADATA\PLDG\PLEDGEMAKER_DATA01.DBF
C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\ORADATA\PLDG\PLEDGEMAKER_INDX01.DBF
C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\ORADATA\PLDG\TOOLS01.DBF

C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\ORADATA\PLDG\PLEDGEMAKER_INDX02.DBF
C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\ORADATA\PLDG\PLEDGEMAKER_INDX03.DBF
SQL> select member from sys.v_$logfile;
MEMBER
C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\ORADATA\PLDG\REDO01A.LOG
C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\ORADATA\PLDG\REDO01B.LOG
C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\ORADATA\PLDG\REDO02A.LOG
C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\ORADATA\PLDG\REDO02B.LOG
C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\ORADATA\PLDG\REDO03A.LOG
C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\ORADATA\PLDG\REDO03B.LOG
SQL> select name from sys.v_$controlfile;
NAME
C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\ORADATA\PLDG\CONTROL01.CTL
C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\ORADATA\PLDG\CONTROL02.CTL
C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\ORADATA\PLDG\CONTROL03.CTL
After copying the above files, I want to start the database back up. First I run this batch file
set oracle_sid=PLDG
net start OracleORADB10GTNSListenerPLDG
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\bin\oradim -startup -sid PLDG -starttype srvc,inst
Then run this script.
set echo on
spool C:\oracle\product\oradata\pldg\startdb.log
connect /@pledgemaker as sysdba
startup
spool off
exit
- Is this plan complete?
- Will the filenames that the above three queries retrieve ever change in the future? Or do they remain the same?
- There are other files in the C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\ORADATA\PLDG\ directory, such as TEMP01.DBF. I am assuming that I do not need to back these files up. Is this correct?
Thanks so much for your help!

Sorry, I should explain my situation better. Currently there is no backup in place right now so I just want to get SOMETHING running and backing up our data. I am an Oracle newbie compared to a lot of the experts on here - I just want to go with the simplest solution so that I can implement it ASAP. Then I can at least sleep at night.
I agree that I should eventually get to learning RMAN and should understand it thoroughly. I've read a lot of the documentation on it but it can be really confusing. I mean there are 666 page books on Oracle backups - it is intimidating.
Anyway, thanks for your help.

Edited by: DataHandle on Jun 14, 2012 9:49 AMYes, the official documentation can be pretty overwhelming. I suggest you go to amazon and look up "RMAN Backup and Recovery" by Hart and Freeman. It is very well written and cuts through a lot of the clutter of the actual reference manual.
For the immediate, here's what you need to do
log on the the sever as 'oracle' - or whoever owns the oracle installation
then
rman target /
rman> CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; << set this how you want -- it's a quick reference in the official docs
rman> CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;
rman> CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
rman> CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO COMPRESSED BACKUPSET;
rman> CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/oradata/fs91upg/upgbkup/%U'; << set the path to wherever you want to store your backup
rman>the above commnads are one-time setup.
rman> shutdown immediate
rman> startup mount
rman> backup database
rman> alter database open
rman> exitis your database in archivelog mode?

Needed steps for installing oracle 10R2 on windows server 2003

Hi to All,
Can anybody give me steps for how to install oracle 10R2 on windows 2003 server in production environment and what is the preinstallation task and postinstallation task.
Thanks and Regards
Mohd Khaja

There is one pre-requisite that is missing from the documentation - ensuring that the administration team is adequately trained.
Since you are asking this question, I wonder whether your team is properly prepared for, and aware of, the possible nuances or changes from default that might be relevant to your environment.
For example, is your team familiar with the concept of Flashback Recovery Area and how it may fit, or conflict with, your production needs? Use of RMAN? Location of Oracle software Inventory and implications in your OS-level backup? How to configure both the software and the database to meet your Service Level Agreement requirements.
The referenced document is an excellent first step, as it asks some of the questions. If you are serious about production stability, you want to go through that as well as get appropriate level of expertise in your shop.

System Copy/ Oracle Backup/Restore as part of migrating from 32 to 64-bit

Source system (I386): R3E47 Ext Set 2.00 SAP_BASIS 620 Kernel 640 Windows 2000, Oracle 10.2.0.4, non-unicode
Target system (x86-64/AMD64): R3E47 Ext Set 2.00 SAP_BASIS 620 Kernel 640 Windows 2000 Oracle 10.2.0.4, non-unicode
Am using method System Copy/ Oracle Backup/Restore to migrate from 32 to 64 bit (HOM System Copy).
Actions on source system:
a) Upgrade from 9.2.0.7 to Oracle 10.2.0.4
b) Used ora_br_copy.bat to generate CONTROL.SQL and init<sid>.ora
c) Switched logfiles
d) Performed offline backup
Actions on target system:
a) Installed Oracle 10.2.0.1 and patched it to 10.2.0.4
b) Used CD 51033746 "6.20/6.40 based products Installation Master (Edition May 2008)" to install the CI
c) Started installation of the DB instance selecting System Copy/ Oracle Backup/Restore (same <SID> for source and target systems)
Relevant input parameters used:
Database schema: SAPR3
Database character set: US7ASCII
d) When SAPINST stopped to allow for restoring of datafiles, logs and init<sid.ora>:
- copied datafiles and logs to the usual place
- copied CONTROL.SQL (edited to include utilrp.sql and utlrp.sql for the migration from 32 to 64) to the DB-instance intallation . directory.
- copied generated init<SID>.ora to the <ORACLE_HOME>\database
e) Resumed SAPINST.
David Byrne in a previous post suggested: "check your oracle alert file in case there are errors there you may need to update the word size for the 64bit install. Errors like this in the oracle alert file would suggest that.,
ORA-12012
ORA-06544: PL/SQL: internal error, arguments: [ORA-06544: PL/SQL: internal error, arguments: 56319], [, ], [, ], [, ], [
ORA-06553"
Well, I am getting ORA-06553: PLS-801: internal error [56319] but then my edited CONTROL.SQL (which is mainly a CREATE CONTROLFILE as it would be obtained with a ...BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE) includes at the end this:
shutdown immediate
startup upgrade
spool utlirp.log
@?/rdbms/admin/utlirp.sql
spool off
Shutdown immediate
Startup
Spool utlrp.log
@?/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql
Spool off
exit
which is supposed to do just that... (I think)
Help, anyone?

> Trying to cheer me up, are you?
No
> It is NOT free that reorganization! Quite expensive, actually, paid for in time! But you're right... the database needed a reorg anyway :-\
True, not "free" - it takes time but the data will be nicely aligned then
> And why would I have to reconfigure all those 10.2 features? Everything's either in the database or init<sid>.ora, ain't it? And my database is a pretty 10.2.0.4 with all those nice features already activated...
No - not really auotmatically if you upgraded from 9.2 And "init<SID>.ora" is past, you nowadays use "spfile" If, of course, e. g. Automatic Undo was activated in 9.2 then it's there of course in 10.2 too.
> One sticky point... I haven't really read the r3load procedure yet and I will before I import, but... I would say I don't have to do anything about the 32->64 bit, right? I mean, it should behave properly while reloading on 64-bit...
The exported content is about 10 % of the size of the system, it's database and OS independent so yes, you can import it nicely on 32bit. Another tip: make sure you don't just use the default configurations for R3load, it will take a HUGE amount of time. Use the package splitter (builtin-in in sapinst) so you get a much higher parallelism when importing.

Oracle Backup to the external medium from DB13 via FTP

Hi oracle experts!
I have difficulty by setting up the the backup to the remote directory (on Unix Server) via FTP from DB13 on Windows (Enterprise Server 64 bit).
The parameters I have set up are in initDBSID.sap:
backup_dev_type = stage
stage_root_dir = folder/subfolder/DEV (important with \ it does not work)
archive_stage_dir = folder/subfolder/DEV (important with \ it does not work)
stage_copy_cmd = ftp
remote_host = myremotehost
remote_user = "user password"
My problem is that all the files creating by backup or redo logs are stored under folder/subfolder and NOT as desired on folder/subfolder/DEV.
Can some one describe how the desired path to the directory myremotehost\ \folder\subfolder\DEV can be created for backup?
Which parameters in init<DBSID>.sap are responsible for this issue?
Thank you very much indeed
Regards
Axel

Hi!
Of course I have set these parameters.
My problem is that I execute backup from Windows to remote Unix-share via FTP.
The file names are very strange e.g. S3FV1~6
The second problem is that the files will bw written to the wrong directory
(I have set the path to "sap/backup" and hte files wil be written to "sap").
The third problem I have: I habe two SAP Systems installed on the same host.
If I execute redo logs archive from DB13 I get the error "no files processing".
How can I set up this issue?
Thank you very much
regards

Unix Cold Backup To Windows Machine

Is it possible to restore a cold backup of 9.2 oracle to a windows operating system.
My problem is, i have a cold backup and i want to restore just one datafile ..

It's NOT possible to restore Unix cold bacup of Oracle database to Windows machine. You HAVE to restore it on the same OS

Sap Oracle Backup

Hi all it's very urgent
We are running 4 oracle 9.2 database in a single machine with sap r/3 4.7 on windows 2003 and even in a single drive now i am responsible for backup
which method is prefered one whether BRBACKUP or Manual OR scripting
what about scheduling cold and hot backup
here we have hardware resource constraint

Hi
For Oracle Backups the preferred backup method is RMAN. I suggest you read docs for more information. Try focusing on incremental backups as you suggested space constraints.

RMAN Backup from windows to Linux

Hi,
I am having Windows 2003 server Oracle 10.2
and I have RHEL5 and Oracle 10.2
I have taken a RMAN Oracle Database Backup from windows..
I have installed oracle software on RHEL5 and now i need to restore this backup to the Linux
it is possible to restore it? if possible can any one let me know the process?
Regards,
Vijayaraghavan K

I have another doubt
I took RMAN full DB Backup - it comes around 2.5 G (performed on time 9.00 A.M morning)
When i perform differential incremental backup it comes around 2.6 G (performed on time 9.45 A.M )
Why it is coming like this.. The backup should happen only for the changed blocks alone?? i.e it should come around 10 Mb or 20 Mb?? Why is like this? or my understanding of differential backup is wrong?
I issued the below commands for Full DB Backup and Incremental Backup...
FULL DB backup at 9.00 A.M
RMAN> BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 0 DATABASE;
Differentail Backup a 9.45 A.M
RMAN> BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1 DATABASE;

Deleting an image backup in Windows 8.1

How to safely delete an image backup under Windows 8.1 to free up disk space?

if your concern regarding disk space, rather than deleting image backup, you still can do this
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/free-up-disk-space
but you can delete Windows Image Backup folder manually, only UAC prompt will be pop up
you can read the whole document regarding your concern here

[Forum FAQ] Schedule multiple versions of System Image Backup in Windows 8.1

As we known that there is no UI for user to configure Image backup in Windows 8.1, this is a guide for your to schedule multiple versions of System Image Backup.
Step 1: Create a task to schedule an image backup with following command:
SCHTASKS /Create /SC WEEKLY /D MON /TN WeeklyFullBackup /RL HIGHEST /ST 13:00 /TR “wbAdmin Start Backup -backupTarget:F: -include:C: -allCritical -quiet”
Step 2: Schedule a robocopy to backup the saved image with BAT file:
Please create a new folder (in this example, the new folder is e:\test2) to save your multiple copies of image backup:
Write following batch file to copy backup and rename with backup date:
*****************BAT********************
@echo off
robocopy e:\test1\ e:\test2\ test.wim
ren e:\test2\test.wim test_%date:~10,4%%date:~7,2%%date:~4,2%_%time:~0,2%%time:~3,2%.wim
NOTE: e:\test2 is my location to save multiple copies of image backup; e:\test1 is the location I create the system image backup.
This BAT can also help to rename the copy of image backup with date and time like below:
3. Set up a basic task in Task schedule:
Note: please make sure the time you configured follows the time you set for image backup in Step 1.
Action -> Create basic task (Name you task) -> Trigger (Set how often this task should be run) -> Action (Start a program) -> Under Program/script, point to your bat file you create in Step 2.b -> Finish
At the end, you can know more about SCHTASKS and Robocopy via following links:
