Rebuild from cold backup on windows

Greetings,
Our Db was destroyed. We have a new machine now, and I have loaded the OS ( windows NT ), and the Db software ( Oracle 9i ). I have a cold backup of the old database that I would like to use to get the old system back. Where can I find documentation explaing the required steps to getting the Database back on line ( on Windows as a service )using a cold backup?
Any help or advice are greatly appreciated.
Thank You.

Hello,
If the location of the files didn't change reconstructing the database instance from coldbackup takes just few steps
1.) Create an instance
Oradim ânew âsid testdb -mode a
2.) Connect to the instance
Sqlplus /nolog
Connect / as sysdba Ã
3.) Start the database
Startup pfile=localtion to inti.ora
Let us know your case details and I would perhaps be able to help. I experienced the same problem and successfully rebuilt the database

How to Create new database from cold backup files.

Dear Experts,
I have an oracle 10g databae on windows 2003 server.
The database is in Archive log mode and backup strategy is Taking cold backup ever night.
Backup steps:
shut down database.
copy data files, control files, redo logs, archive logs and parameter files to safe location.
Startup.
I have taken a backup at Tuesdaay 1AM and I have archive logs also.
On Wednesday, I want to Create a new database on another server with the available cold backup files and archive logs. I want to recover the database upto 4PM Wednesday. How can I do this.
I am not using control file auto backup or control file backup to trace.
Please help me how can I do this. I am new to oracle database Administration.
--Thanks

The steps :
shut down database.
copy data files, control files, redo logs, archive logs and parameter files to safe location -- you mean the alternate location for the new databaseare correct (except that I would say "alternate location for the new database").
If you do not have controlfile backups, you cannot either OPEN the database or RECOVER the database until and unless you CREATE the Controlfiles. You have to generate a CREATE CONTROLFILE script using a BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE from the Production serer and create the controlfile on the new server.
BEFORE the Startup, I would use
RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCEL;The "using backup controlfile" tells Oracle to continue attempting Recovery -- ie doing a RollForward -- till the last archivelog made available to it.
For the Recover command, you then keep applying the ArchiveLogs from the Tuesday 1am ColdBackup upto Wednesday 4pm.
Once you have applied the last ArchiveLog, you do an
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;Here are my notes of doing a RollForward "Recovery" from a Cold Backup :
http://hemantoracledba.blogspot.com/2007/05/rollforward-from-cold-backup.html
If you are attempting all these steps on a different server from your current Production database, you should be safe.
Once you OPEN the database, you can use CREATE CONTROLFILE or the NID utility to rename the database.
If you are attempting to create the new database on the same server there are many other precautions you have to take and unless you have experience with cloning databases, I would advice you against doing so (only the RMAN DUPLICATE DATABASE command has a safer method of cloning a database).

How to do media recovery from cold backup?????????/

Hi
i take cold backup of my 9i database ....
in case my database is up .....
how will i recover my database if i lose a single database file and i want to recover it from cold backup......
Thanks in advance
Gagan

Here you go
These are the steps:
1. Restore the lost file from a backup.
2. If the database is down, mount it.
SVRMGR> STARTUP MOUNT PFILE=<location_of_pfile>;
3. Issue the following query:
SVRMGR> SELECT V1.GROUP#, MEMBER, SEQUENCE#,
FIRST_CHANGE#
FROM V$LOG V1, V$LOGFILE V2
WHERE V1.GROUP# = V2.GROUP# ;
This will list all your online redolog files and their respective
sequence and first change numbers.
4. If the database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode, issue the query:
SVRMGR> SELECT FILE#, CHANGE# FROM V$RECOVER_FILE;
If the CHANGE# is GREATER than the minimum FIRST_CHANGE# of your logs,
the datafile can be recovered. Just keep in mind that all the logs to
applied will be online logs, and move on to step 5.
If the CHANGE# is LESS than the minimum FIRST_CHANGE# of your logs, the
file cannot be recovered. Your options at this point would be to restore
the most recent full backup (and thus lose all changes to the database
since) or recreate the tablespace as explained in scenario a.
5. Recover the datafile:
SVRMGR> RECOVER DATAFILE '<full_path_file_name>'
6. Confirm each of the logs that you are prompted for until you receive the
message "Media recovery complete". If you are prompted for a non-existing
archived log, Oracle probably needs one or more of the online logs to
proceed with the recovery. Compare the sequence number referenced in the
ORA-280 message with the sequence numbers of your online logs. Then enter
the full path name of one of the members of the redo group whose sequence
number matches the one you are being asked for. Keep entering online logs
as requested until you receive the message "Media recovery complete"
7. If the database is at mount point, open it.

Restore from cold backup (rac server)

Hi All,
Oracle version : 10g
OS : SunOS dixie1 5.10 Generic_118855-36 i86pc i386 i86pc
I am having cold backup of RAC server (2 nodes), I want to restore from cold backup.
The problem is that : when i performed the cold backup using rman at that time Oracle was having 3 ASM diskgroups.But unforunately that disk is no more in use due to some fault.
Now my question is how can i restore from the cold backup as when i'll restore from the cold backup this will ask for the same ASM diskgroups.Even more if i creates the same diskgroup with the same name and same configuration then my doubt is that rman will allow me to restore the same from the cold backup as ASM disk header changed now ?
Thanks,
Vipin

Yes.You can do these and restore/recover your database.First you need startup your ASM instance then create your ASM disk groups and do following:
1.Edit pfile and change controlfile location to diskgroup(Consder that +dgr1)
2.Restore controlfile to this disk group using backup of controlfiles(you say that is cold backup)
rman target /
/*Instance need starting up from pfile*/
startup nomount ;
/*then restore controlfile,give full path of controlfile from coldbackup*/
restore controlfile from 'coldbackup_location\coltrolfile';
alter database mount;
catalog start with 'coldbackup_location';
backup as copy database format '+dgr1';
switch database to copy;
alter database open;

Enterprise Manager Configin a new host after recovery from cold backup

Dear friends ,
we have recovered a DB in new host(windows) from the cold backup.
Listener is configured and EM is also configured .
I am able to login through the EM . In the front page i get an error like
java.lang.exception:unknownhost exception sensding request ::<hostname>.<domain>
Please Note :The hostname from which we have taken backup(operation system) is different from the new host name where have recovered the DB.
Also when i clicked the link for administration page or performance page
i was taken to the login page which was showing as follows
user name:
password:
Connect String : <old host name>.<domain name>
Now i dont know where is parameter of old host details are stored and how it has to be replaced.
Please reply if anyone can have the solution .
Thanks in advance
Madhu

Please Note :The hostname from which we have taken backup(operation system) is different from the new host name where have recovered the DB
This is the call for trouble actually.EM repository stores the info of hostname/ipaddress of the machine where it is configured. So any change in that information will not let you use EM.There are couple of files which are there in which this information is stored and if needed, that information can be be manualy edited.But manual editing is not a good way to deal with repository.So the better option for you is to recreate the repository of your EM
Follow the link for the description of the commands.
You would have to use
$emca -deconfig dbcontrol db -repos drop
$emca -config dbcontrol db -repod createHTH

Recovery from cold backup

Hi,
We take Hot backup everyday, but I took a cold backup using the same catalog. If I want to restore the cold backup I took, what is the proceedure. We are running on 10g in HP Unix.
Thanks.

Hi Rock2,
If you want to restore the cold backup you need to know the tag belonging to this backup.
Using the logfile of the coldbackup or <list backup summary;> in rman you should be able to get this info.
The restore would be similar as:
connect catalog rman/pwd@define_rcv;
# check in catalog database for the dbid.
# If so set the appropriate dbid by unhashing the line directly below using the current dbid
# set dbid = define_dbid
connect target /;
STARTUP NOMOUNT;
run {
allocate channel tc1 type 'SBT_TAPE'; # or 'DISK'
allocate channel tc2 type 'SBT_TAPE'; # or 'DISK'
# adjust the TAG in the following lines
restore controlfile from tag TAG0000001;
sql 'alter database mount';
restore database from tag TAG0000001;
sql 'alter database open resetlogs';
release channel tc1;
release channel tc2;

How to restore files from a backup in windows 8.1

Hello
I did a Factory Image reset recently on my Windows 8.1 PC. I did a backup to an external drive of all my personal files before I did the Factory Image reset.
This backup is listed on the external hard drive as: "Backup files 2014-07-06"
THe properties of this is 322 GB -   765 files   - 17 folders.
THis cannot be all my files UNLESS they were compressed.
The reason i say this is that also on my extrenal hard drive is "Filehistory"
THe properties on FileHistory are: 1.45 TB   - 59,580 files - 765 folders.
I need to restore these files back to my C: drive
I am not confident that the Filehistory has all my files, BUT, since the Backup files 2014-07-06 is so much smaller
than my Filehistory , I do not know what to think.
I have attempted to restore the files from the Backup files 2014-07-06 but get errors that I do not have security clearance. I am the only user on this PC.
I am not very confident that everything is contained on the "FileHistroy" , but I don't really know.
Does anyone have experience with "Backup files' and "Filehistory" that can help me?
thank you!

Hello,
The backup file must have become inaccessible. I am not sure about the error message but it can because of virus infection in your PC that your files must have got damaged. If you are not able to restore backup file from File History, tehn you may try backup recvery software to recover data from it. Try this Windows backup recovery sofwtare - http://goo.gl/kYPP6J
It might help you.

ORA-00313: open failed for members during restore from COLD backup

Hi all,
I took a cold backup of an 11.1 database using RMAN (database in mount state).
I used the following command to restore it:
restored the controlfile and then
RESTORE DATABASE FROM TAG 'TAGxxxxxxxxxx';
Now I'm restoring it and it's taking too much time. When checking alert log it says:
ORA-51106: check failed to complete due to an error. See error below
ORA-48318: ADR Relation [HM_FINDING] of version=3 cannot be supported
ORA-00313: open failed for members of log group 1 of thread 1

RMAN is still in progress, why does it complain about redo?
I'm not doing recovery since it was a cold backup.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Michael,
Yes, it's the correct one because it says "full restore complete":

Problem with restoring a database from cold backup

All,
I've got a 10.2.0.4 database that we perform a cold backup on every night with RMAN. On Sunday 2/21, we have level 0 backup. On Monday-Wednesday nights, we take a cold level 1. We also perform a controlfile auto backup each night.
On a second server where I want to restore the database (same version of Oracle 10.2.0.4), I've copied the control file auto backups, the level 0 and the most recent level 1. I now want to restore. I use an RMAN script similar to the following to restore the control files:
connect target /;
set dbid 1973354860;
# Restore the controlfile from the tag that auto backed up the controlfile at the end of the level 0
run
startup nomount;
allocate channel c1 type disk;
restore controlfile to '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/ORADB1/control01.ctl' from AUTOBACKUP;
restore controlfile to '/u02/app/oracle/oradata/ORADB1/control02.ctl' from AUTOBACKUP;
restore controlfile to '/u03/app/oracle/oradata/ORADB1/control03.ctl' from AUTOBACKUP;
release channel c1;
shutdown immediate;
After the control files restore successfully, I perform some RMAN checks to ensure that all of the files I need for a recovery are there. The RMAN> list backup of database; command shows all of my backup savesets as AVAILABLE for the level0 and level1 backups.
I then try a restore database command; and get the following errors:
RMAN> run
2> {
3> allocate channel c1 type disk;
4> allocate channel c2 type disk;
5> allocate channel c3 type disk;
6> allocate channel c4 type disk;

So I'm unclear as to why RMAN believes the backups of these files don't exist when I attempt to restore the database. Anyone have a clue?
NOTE: I've also tried to restore spcifically with the tag= clause but I get the same results:
RMAN> restore database from tag='TAG20100221T200045';

Just as a follow on to my last post, after the RMAN-06023 messages, I list backups of the three datafiles and as you can see RMAN thinks that they are available. If I exit RMAN and list them at the OS level, they are where RMAN things they should be:

Database Restore from COLD Backup

Dear all,
I .m trying to restore a production database from a COLD backup. Before the COLD BAckup, we have take a HOT backup as usual and then shutdown the database to perform the Cold Backup.
After restirong all the oracle files and arch redo log, i have tried to restart the datbase but it failed with the followgin error message:

Could someone explain to me what i did wrong?
Thank you

Please do not confuse between the backup copies you have. Ensure that you have the latest copy whether cold or hot. If you have COLD copy then simply replace all the data files, redo log files, and the control files and start the database it should start. I do not understand your back up strategy because if you have a Hot backup then why do you need a cold backup. Please let me know in what mode your database is running?

Create database using datafiles from cold backup

hi,
I've been given a bunch of datafiles from a cold backup.
I have created my own database using the same DB_NAME as the original.
I now want to be able to attach these datafiles to my database. How do I go about? Do I need to start the database in mount mode so that the control file is open, then start adding these datafiles to the tablespace, and then open the database?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Thank you.Hi,That is not possible.You actually have two different databases,however db_name is same but every db_name are same databases is not same.These has own DBID in same environment.(Their controlfile and datafile information exactly is different).There is similar way is transportable tablespace feature.You can use this feature to transport tablespace between databases.For more information see below link.

1. Kill current instance with SHUTDOWN ABORT.
2. Copy all control files and data files from your cold backup to original destination.
3. Make sure all archived redo logs from 01-JAN to 04-JAN are available in the database archive destination (LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST or LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_x).
4. Run as SYSDBA:
startup mount
recover database using backup controlfile until cancel;When prompted for something like
ORA-00279: change 864868 generated at 01/14/2010 09:30:10 needed for thread 1

A question about restoring from cold backup(control file backup not clear)

Hi,
I had another question about restoring the cold backup. My database is in noarchivelog mode and after taking a consistent cold backup, all I need to do is to restore the backup right? -Why I got this question is because: when I backup my control file to trace, I see statements like this:-----
-- Commands to re-create incarnation table
-- Below log names MUST be changed to existing filenames on
-- disk. Any one log file from each branch can be used to
-- re-create incarnation records.
-- ALTER DATABASE REGISTER LOGFILE '/uo1/app1/arch1_1_647102958.dbf';
-- Recovery is required if any of the datafiles are restored backups,
-- or if the last shutdown was not normal or immediate.
RECOVER DATABASE
-- Database can now be opened normally.
ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
My database is in noarchivelog mode now so don't know why these statements (of register the logfile) is there in the backup of control file? so when I restore the cold backup of this database, it will still work correct? (there is no logfile I have only CRD files in cold backup -no archive log files.)
thanks
