you have to modify few parameters in your initSID.sap file and then run the backup from brtools.
Go thorugh the below links which describes the procedure

Oracle backup with CA ARCserv question

Hi
I back up Oracle database by using CA ARCserv with agents for Oracle which seems to
be in collaboration with RMAN.
Just in case, I typed RMAN command 'crosscheck ' and then showed some logs, which
means that there are still some archivelogs even after deleting backup data by using
ARCserv.
I thought that typing 'crosscheck ' would show no log because CA ARCserv is in
collaboration with RMAN and RMAN would delete all archive logs automatically after backup.
Is this normal situation? or something is wrong with RMAN / ARCserv ?
Are there any way to delete all data from oracle database after backup with ARCserv ?

Hi,
Welcome. You don't provide enough information and what you do is unclear !
What is your Oracle version ?
Can you post your backup scripts ?
Can your post the exact command and the output you find "strange" ?
Best regards
Phil

RMAN Backup Restore from tape

Hello Gurus
We have lvl0 RMAN database backup restored from tape but due to some reasons we could not apply recovery on it. On checking the information in controlfile, it identified only the system file and no other file. So, we recreated the controlfile and decided to recover using backup controlfile option (until cancel or until change or until time). However, to my surprise, when I listed the checkpointchange# and checkpoint_time columns of v$datafile_header, I found the difference in timestamps ranging 24 hrs -- which menat we had to apply 24 hrs of archiving to bring all dbfs to a consistent state (before it allowed us to open the db) -- so far so good, it worked that way.
My question is that, while I trigger a lvl0 RMAN backup at say 4PM on 27th July and it finishes on 4PM on 28th July (as I am directly pushing around 1 TB data to tapes) -- what is the consistency timestamp of this backup. In other words, is this backup available for a restore of 4PM 27th July? Or is it available only for a restore of 4PM 28th July and later ...?
Isn't it that RMAN works at block level and when I fire a backup it should give me all the dbf's of that timestamp..?
Appreciate your inputs/comments.

When taking a online backup with RMAN, the datafiles backup is always inconsistent because it needs the archived redo logs generated during the backup to be consistent: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14192/intro005.htm#sthref70.
A full online backup can only be used to restore the database to a point in time starting after backup end: if a backup starts at 4PM on 27th July and it finishes on 4PM on 28th July you can use it to restore the database to a point in time after 28-JUL 4PM.

Restore bkf Backup Files on Tape with Windows Server 2008 R2

We have to migrate an application from a legacy server (OS Windows Server 2003) to a new server (OS Windows Server 2008 R2).
Due to legal obligations we have to keep backups for 10 years. Until now NTBACKUP was used to store the data on tape.
We must be able to restore data from tapes of the last 10 years for audit purposes.
We installed Update für Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 Edition (KB974674) containing NTBackup-RestoreUtility on the new server.
It seems that this tool is not able to restore from tapes.
How can we fullfil the legal requirements to restore backuped data from tape on Windows Server 8 R2 (and in future with Windows Server 2012 R2)?

Hi,

Restore backup piece from tape to disk?

Hi,
Is it possible to restore rman backup piece from tape to disk? Please advice.
Thanks,

Is it possible to restore rman backup piece from tape to disk? Please advice.I dont think so it is related with ORACLE database to copy backup pieces from tape to disk.
You might have any other vendors like veritas, Symmetrix & all. We backup an Oracle database via the TDP application to tape

Approximate time for Taking Oracle Backup

Can you guys tell me how can I guess
1.what time should be taken for a Oracle database's full export backup ?
2.what time for a full online Physical backup ?
3.what time for a full offline Physical backup ?
We can see the size of the associated datafiles of the database from dba_datafiles. We have only that clue and the database is residing on an AIX box.
Any good idea will be appretiated.
Also please give me the idea on which factors the time for backup depends. And how it can be done in good speed.

Might be that sac-Pune's timing information is wrong. But he could understand my question and tried to answer with a case study. Ok I really tried to get the answer from a person who has good hands on experience. And who has handled oracle backups on different hardwares and also different OS.
I know that the backup timing depends on the size . Suppose we take a case study
Environment parameters:
1. Database size: 100 gb
2. Hardware/OS : IBM AIX
3. Memory : 4 GB
4. Number of CPU: 4
5. Oracle version 9.2.0.7
1.what time should be taken for a Oracle database's full export backup ?
2.what time for a full online Physical backup ?
3.what time for a full offline Physical backup ?
Can any one give me the approximate timing for those ? 30mins plus minus will be accepted.
Can we deduce any formula on backup timing as 3 environment parameters are numeric.
Is there any proportionate relation in timing of Export backup and Online physical backup?
or
Is there any proportionate relation in timing of Online physical backup and Offline physical backup?
or
Is there any proportionate relation in timing of Old Online physical backup and RMAN method physical backup?
I know that oracle backup timing depends on many factors. But again it is a bookish answer. In my original post I wanted to know 'which factors'?
I also requested to give me some thumb rules how backup can be fast.
I recently joined a new organisation where the database size are huge. But I would have to create some emergency 'Change Requests' on Oracle backups. Discussing with Old DBAs and prior testing in test environments with same volume of data as in production is not possible at this point of time.
Looking for good contribution from the members

Disadvantages of taking user manged backup directly on tape

Hi,
I have oracle 10.2.0.4 database on aix 5.3 Operating system.
My all the datafiles,controlfiles,logfiles reside on /oradb filesystem.
I have shut down the database & listner, & without copying all the database files into another file system.
I have inform to backup team to take backup directly on tape by giving database file liocation /oradb.
Please let me know the disadvantages of taking backup directly on tape by using user managed backup.
Regards,

All the list points are advantage of rman and are not available in user-managed so are the disadvantage of user-managed.
==> There are simpler backup and recovery commands.
==> It automatically manages the backup files without DBA intervention.
==> It automatically deletes unnecessary backup datafiles and archived redo log files both from disk and tape.
==> It provides you with detailed reporting of backup actions.
==> It provides considerable help in duplicating a database or creating a standby database.
==> It lets you test whether you can recover your database, without actually restoring data.
==> It lets you verify that available backups are usable for recovery.
==> It lets you make incremental backups, which isn’t possible by any other means of backup.
==> It lets you perform database duplication without backups by using the network-enabled database duplication feature, also known as active duplication.
==> It automatically detects corrupt data blocks during backups, with the corruption relevant information recorded in the V$DATABASE_BLOCK_CORRUPTION view.
==> When only a few data blocks are corrupted, you can recover at the data block level, instead of recovering an entire datafile.
==> You can take advantage of the unused block compression feature, wherein RMAN skips unused data blocks during a backup.
==> Only RMAN provides the ability to perform encrypted backups.
==> You can use RMAN with a variety of third-party storage systems.
==> You can use a powerful yet easy-to-use scripting language, which lets you write custom
backup and recovery scripts quickly.
Hope this may help u ..

RMAN : Backup to a tape.

Hi every Body,
I need please help on how to backup to a tape.
Exactly how to configure the MML interface ?

You can consider Oracle Secure Backup or a vendor from Oracle Backup Solutions Program.
Check Configuring RMAN to Make Backups to a Media Manager for configuration of RMAN and the vendor specific documentation for the media management configuration.

Oracle VM 2.2 :: Oracle Clusterware/Oracle 11gR2 {Single RAC node} Question

1. Is it recommended to use physical disks everywher for ORAHOME, base operating system root, OCR / Vote disks and ASM disks? At this point of time in my vm.cfg only the ASM disks are physical while the OCR / Vote disks and ORAHOME and operating system is on an image file using tap:aio (blktap) driver.
Current vm.cfg disk directive

Sebastian : Thanks. I did come across this white paper & now I have converted they ASM disks to physical. When you say just direcly pass LUNs from storage, its still going to be a virtual block device off the RAW lun to OVS, is that what you meant? .. ie RAW disk to OVS --> use phy: directive to present and xvd"n" to vm (PV block driver)
ssolbach wrote:
Hi,
1.) It is recommended to use physical disks for all ASM disks (also for OCR and Vote). If you use 11.2. then OCR/Vote are on ASM anyway.
See also: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/clustering/oracle-rac-in-oracle-vm-environment-131948.pdf
2.) Just present RAW disks. Best is to directly pass the LUNs provided from the storage.
Regards
SebastianAvi : hdparam and dd tests do not say so. I have seen better performances with blktap driver. Even iostat run within ASM showed better response times. I serched on white paper and documents within metalink on blktap or file driver, but couldnt find any. (I did find some ex Oracle SE's journals recommending blktap driver for better performance). Are you referring to significant improvements in 3.0.2 ? because, in 2.2 the file: driver is poor performing.
Avi Miller wrote:
Also note that you should be using the file: driver with Oracle VM, not tap:aio -- all of the Oracle performance improvements went into the loopback driver that uses the file method.Edited by: Abhijit on Dec 8, 2011 7:14 AM

Due to NAS issues, when I started a new time machine backup it did not have the old backups available. My question is do I need to delete them or will time machine automatically reclaim the space? Only one Sparse Bundle, same name.

Due to NAS issues, when I started a new time machine backup it did not have the old backups available. My question is do I need to delete them or will time machine automatically reclaim the space? There is only one sparse bundle but when I enter time machine I don't see my historic backups. I use a synology DS212 for my time machine. Started a new backup which is 218gb but it says 618 gb is occupied therefore it looks like 2 or 3 backups are still on the disk. Before my NAS issues the last backup was in 2014. As you can see there is a second sparse bundle from 2012. Not sure what that is.

This is an old message now, but what happened to me similarly was:
I had a major computer crash and through complicated pathways ended up reinstalling (Mavericks) as a new user (long story).
At least I had good Time Machine backups on an NAS drive (Synology DS212j), or so I thought - when I started Time Machine up again, the old backup file was gone, replaced by a new one using my "new computer" name. The old file was gone both by directly mounting the NAS drive and by clicking "Enter Time Machine".
It's like I had {OldShareName}.sparsebundle and then it was replaced by {NewShareName}.sparsebundle, all of the old info vanished.
(I have spent a week finding old files elsewhere and have completed a satisfactory self-restore. It pays to "archive" [my own variation of] as well as "back-up".)
My belief is that if this were a wired-netword-drive, e.g. plugged right into my iMac with a USB cable, then the old file would have remained.
But this is an NAS drive, connected directly to my Airport wireless router, and I don't know the significance of the fact that it stores its Time Machine backups as "sparsebundle" files rather than simply as plain(er) files.
As usual when things get complicated with computers (not just Apple computers) there was never a warning message. Something like "YOU'RE ABOUT TO DELETE A TIME MACHINE BACK-UP FILE!!!" would have made my life a lot simpler.
BTW, I did try a "restore from Time Machine" option the first thing I had my "new computer" (old hardware, 2009 iMac) up and running, using Migration Assistant, and it ran for many hours and then failed in the wee hours - what that has to do with anything I'm not sure.
I'm not sure that I have a question about this other than "why do these things happen to me?", but it's a warning. Apart from that I've been very happy with the stability and reliability (but not the cost or set-up complexity) of NAS vs. directly-cabled external drives.

SAP & Oracle Backup Integration

Hi,
Have Oracle 10g as backend for database & Legato Backup Software has been installed on the server. Could anyone please let me know that if i use DB13 for taking online & offline backups how would it integrate with the Legato Backup Software & is there any special licences required for integration with SAP. Hoping to get a reply soon...

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.

Oracle Backup tools

Hi Experts,
Plz guide me which is the best third party tool for backup & recover of database in Oracle and where can i get the trail version of this tool.
Thanx in Advance
Mani

Most people use RMAN nowadays, I don't think you need any other third party tools to do Oracle backup. Most storage vendor will try to make their tools to be integrated with RMAN rather than come up a new tool.
When it comes to backup/recovery of Oracle database nobody can do a better job than Oracle itself.
