Oracle R12 12.1.3, how to make cold backup

Hello guys
After a month long efforts, I was able to deploy the 12.1.3 templates successfully and the full vision instance is accessible without any technical hickups. I have setup VM Server 3.1.1 and VM Manager 3.1.1 using Oracle VirtualBox. The application is running on a two node structure now and I would like to take cold backups for both apps and database tier, later merge them to a single node and move to Oracle Linux 6.2/6.3 so that I could take it around in my laptop for demonstration purposes (We are on 12.0.4) right now and dwelling the possibilities of migrating to 12.1.3)
regards,
raj

I already have two node application R12 (12.1.3) structure, now what I want is
I want to take a cold backup of application tier, and database tier.
Then move the backup to a new server and setup a single node, which will be on Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.2
So, basically I want to know how to take a cold backup and then setup a new server with the backup.You can use any of the commands mentioned in this link -- http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/misc/os-backup-commands.php
You might also use rcp/scp.

Please note for cold backup you will need to shutdown the application/database properly (clean shutdown).
Thanks,
Hussein

Forget the Pendrive stategy...
Before attempting any Major Upgrade... get yourself an External Hard Drive... and create a Bootable Clone Backup of your current Hard Drive...
By far the easiest way to make such a Backup, is to use something like
SuperDuper http://www.shirt-pocket.com/
or CCC http://www.bombich.com/
That way, should anything untoward happen during the Upgrade,
you will NOT LOSE ANYTHING.
(Get an EHD that is at least equal to your current Drive...)
Also, Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using...
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
You should also consider more RAM... Get the Maximum you can for your Mac...
It is important to get the Correct and Matching RAM

How to make a backup if the Storage & Backup icon is missing?

how to make a backup if the Storage & Backup icon is missing?

http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html
Sounds like you have an account, so two options I would say.
Try turning it off, then off and see what options you get, or sync your phone to iTunes and click on the summary and choose the iCloud option.

How to make a backup without password

I have tried to create new backups, but every time as they are with a lock on. have deleted itunes on pc n without help. bought a new computer without help. my problem is that I have two girls who have switched phones, the mobile phone that owned the first desired content into the new. Now that it has acquired the old iphone ready and ruin the iphone and I wish to make a backup of it on the new iphone her but each time the backup is locked with a code. there is none of them have made some code!!!!!! only code code they have had is a code to open the phone. we have gone in between all the codes they have used but there is no acting. I've talked with apple suport on several occasions and they say that it is only making a backup without code.
So my question is how the **** do I do it?

You will have to delete ALL of your existing backups. Under preferences in itunes(under the edit menu if using Windows), Devices, delet any and all backups that are listed. Connect your 3GS, right click in the device pane & select backup. You should be able to restore that backup to your iphone 4.

I've bought Lion USB Thumb Drive, how to make a backup of it?

hi i've bought the Lion USB Thumb Drive because my internet connection is super super slow.
now, the Lion USB Thumb Drirve arrived is super small and fragile because it's a Mini-B type USB connector, with all the metal exposed.
So I try to make a backup copy of it onto another USB drive.
wondering anyone know how to do it?
all the internet resourse I can find only teach how to make a USB from the downloaded version, but I don't have the downloaded version, so the method taught doesn't work because there is no "InstallESD.dmg" inside it.
any solution will be greatly appreciated.
many thanks in advance.

After you install Lion, use: Lion Recovery Disk Assistant
It's not the Install Disk, but it has the ability to Install Lion OS X
You can also try:
Open up Disk Utility and Click on the "Restore" tab, choose the Apple Lion Install USB as the source and your flash drive as the destination. Hit the Apply button and it may create a bootable USB drive. (the flash drive must be formatted as GUID)

How to make a backup of a Premiere project?

Hi everyone, do you know how can I make a backup on a external hard drive of a Premiere Pro project with videos, music, text, videos linked with after effects??
or, since for the project, I took files from different folders and even from the desktop for example, do you know how to put all the files in a single folder without losing the properties of the project in premiere?
thank you

thank you, but there is reported: "Project Manager does not collect and copy After Effects compositions that are dynamically linked to an Adobe Premiere Pro project. Project Manager does save the Dynamic Link clip in the trimmed project as an offline clip, however."
so what can I do?

Q: How to make complete backup of internal HD?

I want to upgrade to a bigger HD and want to make a backup of the full 80GB internal drive.
When using Disk Utility I can make images of folders but not of the internal HD.
I even can not make that image if I have booted from DVD or from external Firewire disk! Why?
I also cannot unmount the internal HD when booted from external HD or DVD.
why?
How should I make a complete update (including all invisible files and folders)?

####### SUCCESS ###########
Thank you to all who provided valuable knowledge here.
From the many methods suggested above, I chose to try the CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner). I let CCC make an image of my internal HD onto my external HD. (Oddly enough this only works if you boot from the internal HD, or, better said, in order to use CCC you have to boot from the source HD, not destination HD, which IMHO would be saver, but then.)
Despite I logged in as admin I had to give the admin password for every top level folder, about 20 in my case, a bit tedious, because you can not go away but have to stay near the computer all the time while it is copying. It lastet 3 hours...
Then I booted from the Tiger DVD and verified that the image was mountable, and error free. Also the repair section of the disk utility allowed to specify the new image as source, and the internal HD as destination. So I was well prepared.
Today I got my new HD (yippie!!!! 120 GB in my PowerBook!!!!) and when back home I booted from DVD, started disk utility again, repair section, and set the CCC-image as source, the new internal disk as destination, and go!
After exactly one hour the block transfer was complete.
I rebooted with external disk and DVD removed.
But shock! The Mac did not find a system disk! Why this?
I rebooted from DVD, and set the internal disk explicitely as start volume.
Okay that was what was necessary, the next reboot from the internal new disk was successfull.
Thanks again for all the help.
(Just to be save I bought an external HD case for the old HD so if it had not worked this way I would have had still other options, like booting from the external HD and using CCC for directly moving the HD content to the new internal disk, but I am glad that the straightforward way just worked.)

Nokia lumia 800: how to make a backup of sms to pc

I would like to know how I can make a backup of my sms-messages on my Nokia lumia 800 to my pc (windows vista). I tried Zune, but that programm only gives the possibility to backup pictures and music. Installing Nokia PC Suite didn't work out. I could'nt connect my Nokia lumia 800 to my pc (no possible via usb and bluetooth).
Thanks for any help!

You cannot back up SMS from WP7 handsets. The only available workaround is to copy the contents of the messages in a text file and save that to PC.

How to make a backup of just files for Windows 7 bootable?

I know this is a longshot, but I was wondering if it's possible at all to make backups of a Windows 7 Boot Cam partition, of just the files, bootable in any way so that I can restore it back as a Boot Camp partition? I used Carbon Copy Cloner to backup Boot Camp, then removed the Boot Camp partition, before realizing that the backup that CCC made won't be bootable.
The creator of CCC gave a few suggestions in this thread, which I'll try out, but are there any ideas that I could try? Or is it really supremely difficult that it would be near impossible to make this backup work, and I'd be better off starting from scratch and moving files manually over? The problem wouldn't be moving documents for me, it'd be moving about 100 GB of installed apps.
So, any thoughts? I imagine that this has been asked before in this forum, but strangely could not find any relevant thread for the search queries I was using.

You would have to do a Yahoo/Google search for that. There's a few out there. You might even try the Microsoft forums and see what they use.
They do it a couple of way's it seems, sector by sector or just file level. Bootable backup or just backup. It get's pretty geeky on the instructions so keep reading.
I'm in the same boat, I just haven't done the home work yet (or got the extra drive ).

How to restore cold backup + archived log files

Hi,
Suppose I take a cold backup on 18th. After that I have four days of archived log files. if the database crashes on 5th day, I have to restore the 18th cold back + 4 days of archived log files. How do I restore since it is a cold backup and I cant do incomplete recovery.
can I use
Recover database ( with 18th cold backup) in mount state and apply archived logs.
Prabhath

The details of how you perform forward recovery using a cold backup depends on
1- rman or manual backup
2- using current or backup control file
3- if rman, recovery catalog or no recovery catalog
4- if full database recovered or only a few files
Each of these conditions will affect what is known to Oracle and what needs to be done. For example if you restored the entire cold backup including the control file then Oracle would see a consistent database and not need to perform recovery so you would need to startup mount and tell the database to perform recovery using a backup control file. If using rman and no recovery catalog you might need to catalog some of the archived redo logs, etc....
It is advisable to consult the Backup and Recovery manuals before attempting recovery for any new scenario.

thxs"while i cannot c the datafiles thoes r on san"
I guess that must some shorthand for "I cannot see the datafiles, those are on san."
If so, what does being on san have to do with being able to see the files?
In any event the answer to any question about "how do I backup" is the same .... RMAN.

Hi all
On Oracle9i production server, we have windows scheduled job to take the cold backups every day night. The size of the database is 2GB.
Now, the cold backup consists of
- Database files & Log files
- Parameter file
- Control file.
I am required to check the validity of the cold backup we have. So, I need to restore the database in another server.
So, please provide me the steps I need to do to restore the database.
Thanks.
