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 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 TNS_ADMIN "/location/network/admin"
setenv ORACLE_HOME "/location/db1"
setenv TWO_TASK "DB1"
setenv ORACLE_SID "DB1"
rman run {
# Shutdown database for backups and put into MOUNT mode

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.

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

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

Oracle 9i RMAN backup filling up all disk and failing at the very end

Hello to all and thank you in advance for any input from any of you.
I am new in oracle and the only one in my company with a little bit of oracle knowledge, which is not a whole lot.
I inherited a few servers (Linux and Windows based). We mostly run all our production environment on a Linux box hosting oracle 10g release 10.2.0.1 but we had a legacy application server that still runs on 9i release 9.2.0.1.0. This server is a windows 2003 box, the previous DBA or someone else with admin rights to this machine compressed the whole drive where oracle resides, when I started summarying the oracle assets, I saw this server with no backups scheduled and a compressed disk with very limited space after this compression, only 13 GB left, the database if uncompressed would definitively filled up all the disk. The machine is in used and cannot be taken down for more than a couple of hours. We tried adding another disk but the machine only accept it as a hot spare. The database is in archive mode, when I tried to run a RMAN backup, it start filling up the database drive until it's empty and it crashes the whole machine, it seems like the buffer is growing and growing until it fills up the whole drive. The only way to get the server up and running again is to reboot the machine since the server is more than 6 years old we are not please with this action because we are afraid the machine would go south in one of those reboots.
Has anyone heard of similar issues when running RMAN on a compressed drive? Can the compressed disk have any involvement in this kind of odd behaviour? I tried running the backup in debug mode and creating a log in a different disk (the one where the backup is going to) and still the same issue. Again any help is much appreciate,
Sincerely,
Alex

Sybrand,
Thank you for your fast response, I am going to use your previous post to answer one by one your question,
1 The Oracle binaries --- on a compressed drive > Yes
2 The Oracle database control files redo log files and datafiles on that same compressed drive? > Yes
3 The archived redo log ditto? > Yes
I know for a fact (as I have been using that in 9i) you can create a RMAN backup on a compressed drive, and you can have your archived redo go to a compressed drive. No problemo! > Excellent good news!!!
But I would never touch the data files. Please note backup sets are multiplexed files consisting of multiple datafiles, so RMAN would need to do some calculations to decompress several blocks at the same time and to calculate a new block and compress it.
Do you have enough space to:
a) (preferred) to make datafile copies instead of a backup >
Not in the drive that hosts the oracle instance but yes on an external usb drive (1TB) I attached to use as a backup repository, maybe this is why I am having these issues. I only have 13 GB left on that drive where the oracle instance resides (actually as I explained in a previous reply to Mark, the server only has 3 slots for disks, two of them as configured as RAID 1 and the other is a hot spare because the RAID configuration manager cannot can only added as hot-spare. The raided disk are partitioned in two, one small partition is for the OS and the other is for the oracle instance). When you said make a copy of the datafiles, I assumed you are talking about doing manual backups, and copying the database after using using "alter tablespace tablespace_name begin backup; then copy the file; alter tablespace tablespace_name end backup;
b) use filesperset=1 on the backup command line, so the multiplexing (and associated calculations) stop. I have not tried the option of fileperset yet but I can tryi it and see if that helps.
Can you post the last few lines of the RMAN log where RMAN bombs out? Note: the last few lines. Not all of it, or you must send some paracetamol in conjunction! >
When I ran the debug option, I stopped the backup at less than 20% because I didn't want to reboot the system in the middle of the production time, the backup consumed at least 3 GB during the time was running. The times I ran the RMAN backup I didn't used the debug option so I don't have a log long enough to send unless you want the last few lines of what I have.
Thanks again for your input,
Sincerely,
Alex

Can we restore oracle 11g RMAN backups to 10g server

Hi,
I have RMAN backups (full backup)of oracle 11g database. My server was suddenly crashed due to hardware failure.
We have another Oracle 10g server. Is it possible to restore RMAN backups of 11g database to Oracle 10g server???
Thanks

I don't have 11g server ready with me. The other server running oracle 10g and I dont have rights to install oracle 11g on the 10g server. So I can not test the RESTORE/RECOVER commands.
If anyone had experience in the past, please let me know whether we can RESTORE RMAN backups of 11g database to oracle 10g server...
Thanks

Oracle 12c - rman backup for all PDB

Do we have any ready commands that will take backup for all the attached PDB in oracle 12c (container managed db)?

To backup your entire container DB, connect to your CDB & issue a full backup:
rman> backup database;
Backing up your pdb, either connect to the target itself & issue a backup or
rman> backup pluggable database porcl1;
Backing up only the root, connect to the target &
rman> backup database root;

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
configure controlfile autobackup on;
configure controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to '/BACKUP/PRODBKP/%F';
run{
allocate channel c1 device type disk connect 'sys/******@node1-vip:1521/PROD';
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)

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 ?

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

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 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.

CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT
PARALLELISM

SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME
Below is an example of how I have these set on a test system. This from a 10g database
