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.

Oracle 8 backup tools in Oracle 8i?

I already posted a thread about that, but I still have no answer...
Is it possible to use the backup tools of Oracle 8 in Oracle 8i? instead of using RMAN (which is not very nice to use).
I'd like to write a backup script with a visual tool, and if i have to use rman to execute it after, i don't mind.
But are there any visual tools, or can i use those of Oracle 8?
Thx.

Hi,
I have not any experience in RMAN. I think, u can use oracle utilities export and imports. It helps u to take backup as well as restore.
If u want to use in any projects, U can customise it.

Backup Tools in Oracle 8i

Are there other backup tools for Oracle 8i than Legato or RMAN?
And, are the backup tools of Oracle 8 available for Oracle 8i? Or are they usable with Oracle 8i?

Legato is not a great utility for backups...
And using RMAN without graphical environment is not really funny...
For Oracle 8 tools in Oracle 8i, I don't know...

Oracle Third Party Backup tools

What are some third party backup programs that people are using with oracle these days? Also when using third party backup tools, do these tools shutdown the database while backing up? Does the Archive Log mode need to be enable as well? Not big on Oracle so simple answers would work.
thanks.

I wouls suggest to go with RMAN. it's best tool and free.....Best third party backup tool is BMC SQL Backtrack.

How to do oracle backup,restore,recovery using php?

Is there anyone know how to do oracle backup,restore and recovery using php? any tips... is there any ways to do that?

Are you referring to performing RMAN backup operations via the OSB web tool? RMAN operations are managed, not via the web tool, but through RMAN command line or Oracle Enterprise Manager (EM)

Oracle Backup Misbehavior

Hello,
iam running into a strange problem while doing a backup via Oracle Enterprise Tool under Oracle 11g:
1. Login: sys as sydba
2. Backup Setting are on "Image Copy"
2.1 Keep most generally default settings
2.2 Test Disk Backup successfully
3. Schedule Backup
3.1 Whole database
3.2 Full Backup
3.3 Online
3.4 Disk
3.5 One time
4. Waiting until orcl is ready and backup job is succeeded
5. Altering the database
5.1 e.g. filling an empty tablespace with tables
5.2 or changing an existing database table content through a database tool (e.g. DVisualizer)
6. Perform Recovery
6.1 Recovery Scope: datafile
6.2 Restore datafile
6.3 select the afected datafile
6.4 the most recent backup
6.5 restore to default location
6.6 Submit job und wait till succeeded
From now on the problem starts:
- If i am looking now at the datafile i can see the status = Recover. I can access the tablespace, but not my data (datafile)
- Looking at the function "Perform Recover" => the Oracle Advisor is recommending a Recovery
- Performing the Recovering => I can afterwards access the tablespace, but there is not the state i have backuped before and i wanted to restore
What iam doing wrong here?
Please advice.
Any help is appreciated.
If you have any guideline how i can easily do a simply Oracle backup it would be helpful as well.

If I understand you correctly you performed a COMPLETE recovery,rsp. EM triggered this. Do you want to get back the state of the database BEFORE the changes? Then you must restore/recover incompletely, just before the point in time the changes were done.
A short description is here:

Backup tool (perl based)

Hi
I'm getting this database connection error only when trying to run cold backup on infrastructure. I have ORACLE_HOME, SID specified OK - I can tnsping the listener and I can sqlplus connect to the database.
It looks like RMAN is barfing on the first line of the script:-
shutdown immediate;
startup mount ;
configure controlfile autobackup on;
because it is quite happy executing other RMAN commads such as :-
configure controlfile autobackup on;
configure controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to
..when not doing cold backups..
The error is:-
Recovery Manager: Release 9.0.1.5.1 - Production
(c) Copyright 2001 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00579: the following error occurred at 05/27/2005 08:44:54
RMAN-00554: initialization of internal recovery manager package failed
RMAN-04005: error from target database: ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
Anything obvious I can check? I can't see where RMAN is doing the connect as sysdba to be able to shut down the db
Thanks in advance
Chris

Got the answer, thanks for the replies. The system manager had been told to shut down the DB prior to running the perl script! Hence, the error.
What's the feeling about shuttting down the listener prior to running the backup tool in cold backup mode? I can't see it mentioned in the 9.0.4 doc but I could be wrong. I would think the listener would reestablish connection to the db once RMAN brings it back up but it seems that if it is not using tnsnames to connect, we could bring down the listener prior to running the backup tool?

Hello,
Ora 00603 Oracle server session terminate by fatal error.
Ora 004030 out of process memory when trying to allocate 4120 bytes(pl/sql) MPCODE,BAMMA, BAM Buffer) The ORA-04030 error message is interesting. It means that the OS doesn't have enough memory for Oracle.
So you may monitore the Memory usage of the Server during the Symantec Backup, and check for any activity. May be the Symantec Backup runs when other Batch Jobs use already a lot of memory . You may also have to extend the RAM of the Server.
Also, check for the RMAN script used by Symantec and compare with the "manual" script. May be, some options are used with Symantec and consume more resources on the Server.
Hope this help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

Never worked on Non-RMAN Backup tools

I have never worked on Non-RMAN backup tools. I have only worked on databases which are below 1 TB in size. If you have an Oracle 10GR2 Database which is 5 TB in size, would you still recommend RMAN for it?
Do third party tools use RMAN internally ie integrated to it?

My production DB is 800gb in size and it takes 3.5 hours to take a full backup in compressed mode. This means , it will take around 15 hours to backup a 5TB database !!
Hi Jack,
You are not obliged to do full backups with RMAN. You can use this strategy for example :
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14192/bkup004.htm#sthref412
You will have a fist full backup (image copy) to do but after that only incremental backups will be done. Much space is needed of course but it works well.

Is the iCloud a backup tool for your computer? How do I get my data back -- off the iCloud?

Is the iCloud a backup tool for your computer? ---- Apple care suggested using iCloud for a backup to my documents. I do not have an iphone, ipad or laptop. Just an iMac. Nothing to share the data with.
Now I am unable to access some of my documents on my computer and saving documents is cumbersome because it always wants to save it in iCloud, not my computer. The documents I am unable to open are my old MS-Word. One is a macro enabled word doc. I am using os x mountain lion.
After over an hour chat with apple care, the issue is not resolved. I did not have more time to resolve the issue today and it will be continued next week. Per apple care, I do not have any documents in the iCloud however I am almost at the free capacity with contacts and documents.
My question is -- If I purchase backup from a clould provider - other than apple, back up my files in documents in their cloud (make sure I can open them) and then delete the link to iCloud. Would I preserve my data? Has anyone tried this? I am open to suggestions.
Thanks,
Phyllis

Not really. You can store "Documents in the Cloud" but this applies only to documents created by Pages, Numbers, Preview, Keynote, and Microsoft Office documents created on your computer stored in iCloud's "iWork". Within that limited purpose, iCloud works very well.
My question is -- If I purchase backup from a clould provider - other than apple, back up my files in documents in their cloud (make sure I can open them) and then delete the link to iCloud. Would I preserve my data?
I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean by "purchase backup from a cloud provider" but if you're considering a service such as Carbonite, I don't advocate any of them. To back up your Mac, use your own backup device - Time Capsule or an external hard disk. It's inexpensive and reliable: two elements essential for a backup strategy, that no subscription service can offer.

Time Capsule and Windows 7 backup tool

So I own a TC that works excellent with my Mac Books. Now that I have my Mac's all backed up with TC I want to cover myself on my W7 machine. After doing some reading I found that W7 has a backup tool thank can backup to an external drive or network drive. I attached a drive to my TC and want to backup my W7 system to that. There seems to be some setting involved so before I start messing around has anyone done this yet and can confirm it works well? The last thing I want to do is mess with backups.

doesnt work for me, its a real dealbreaker.
I've tried manually adding and editing the lmcompatability registry key, mapping via explorer, mapping via net use, browsing via unc, tried with airport config software and without, mapped via IP and mapped via hostname.
The thing is just flakey and doesnt work.
I've tried firmware 7.4, 7.41 and 7.42. As you say, 7.3 is no-go with a dualband.
The problem for me isn't mapping the drive, but using it once it's mapped. files and folders fail to copy, stuff doesn't always delete, drive sometimes becomes unavailable. The TC is solid otherwise.
There has to be another registry setting to change somewhere though hopefully. Either that or they've tightened the security within win7 to the point of no return for some legacy stuff.

Tns problem with Oracle 11g ODAC 11.1.0.6.21 with Oracle Developer Tools

I installed the full
Oracle 11g ODAC 11.1.0.6.21 with Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio
now I am at the good old "[ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified]" error.
I copied the same tnsnames.ora as used on the db server
onto the client "C:\Oracle\product\11.1.0\client_2\Network\Admin".
The host name is right since a normal ping works. TNSping is not available.
but I get the [ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified] error.
The listener is running and the instance as well since it all works on the source server.
I tried it with
SET path=c:\oracle\product\11.1.0\client_2\bin
but tnsping is still not recognized.
sqlplus works on the other hand when I set it to
SET path=c:\oracle\product\11.1.0\client_2\
what is going on...

hey
u can post your query here, and i think everyone here is to share opinion so do not hesitate to do so and please try to google before posting here,
and we know no one is expert like some people saying 'boring questions' you just try to overcome your problem and you will definitly get your problem solved .
some mpeople ar still there who answeres hopeless questions and say nothing about them but when a fresher askin a qustion is not tolarated by them they think everyone is born DBA here
they always tend to discouraging people here on forums,and i think they are vvolunteers to reduce crowd here on forums, inspite of there experience and people respect them they can not control their anger
so please post you tns here, i think there are ways to ask people to google and search docs first, but not like this
thanks and regards
