Recover from full backup

Hi,
I want to recover a tablespace from a RMAN full backup. Now the related schema has many truncated objects (in a bach process), so normal tablespace restore, recovery won't help. Have to go for TSPITR. But the time I can't fix. Is there any other way to recover the tablespace other than point-in-time recovery ?

Hi Hemant,
When I run the TSIPTR recovery I am getting error,
RMAN> run {
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch00 TYPE 'SBT_TAPE';
SEND 'NB_ORA_CLIENT=UBIHQ,NB_ORA_SERV=UBIHQ';
RECOVER TABLESPACE PD811T UNTIL TIME "to_date('02-JUL-2010 23:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')";
auxiliary destination '/tmp';
}2> 3> 4> 5>

    I think you misunderstand some concepts.
    1) drop tablespace RTESTUSR including contents and datafiles;
    is a valid command, it removes the named tablespace from the database. There's nothing wrong with the database (although it may be a logical (human) error). Restore/recovery is used to repair media failures. RMAN is right: 'RMAN-06019: could not translate tablespace name "RTESTUSR"', since there's no such tablespace in the actual database, the restore/recover process fails.
    2) Unfortunately you hide your database version. Up to 10gR2 tablespace point-in-time recovery cannot be used to recover dropped tablespaces, in 11gR1 and higher it's possible.
    And - TSPITR - requires a little bit more than 'set until ...'. Refer to the doumentation for your unknown database version.

  • Change from PC to Mac, recover from windows backup

    Hi guys,
    I am probably about to become a Mac-user soon.
    If have previosly used Win 7 computers, but yesterday my HD died during a backup process. It is totally dead and need to be replaced.
    Fortunately I have the hole content backed up a few weeks ago.
    However now I think of getting a Mac instead of a PC.
    However does anyone know if I can recover files from the Windows backup file directly to a new Mac, or will I have first to recover to a PC and then do the migration from there?
    Furthermore an additional question - is the transfer of emails and stuff from Outlook to the Mac-mail program straightforward or...
    Hope anyone will be kind enough to spend a minute or two convincing me not to replace my dead HD with a new Win 7 HD but a Mac instead.
    cheers

    I don't do Windoze; you'll probably get better results in the +Windows compatibility forums,+ at: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=687
    Partly, it will depend on the format of the external HD; OSX can read and write MS-DOS(FAT) and ExFAT volumes, and read (but not write) NTFS-formatted volumes. But there are 3rd-party apps that will.
    See: [Switch 101: Migrate your Windows files or system to your Mac|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2518].
    Furthermore an additional question - is the transfer of emails and stuff from Outlook to the Mac-mail program straightforward or...
    Some of that is covered in the link above, and a link within it.
    You might also want to review [Switch 101|http://www.apple.com/support/switch101>.
    There are some video tutorials, and a bunch of text tutorials here: http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/
    Hope anyone will be kind enough to spend a minute or two convincing me not to replace my dead HD with a new Win 7 HD but a Mac instead.
    Most folks who switch wish they'd done it looooong ago. There is, of course, a bit of a "learning curve," as some things are done differently. The longer you've used Windoze, the harder it will be to learn new habits.
    But a new Mac will cost a lot more $$$ than a new HD.

  • Recover full backup into another database

    Hello,
    I have a particular need that does not seems to be done so often and I just cannot get it.
    So here is the situation : I have a backup of a full database. That means that I have the init parameter file, the autobackuped controlfile (+pfile) and the autobackuped backupset.
    The source database is release 10.2.0.5.0, RAC instance.
    On another server, I have a simple instance, same release and I would like to recover the full backup in the second database.
    I have already done that once before but I had both pfile and controlfile backuped manually and the two instances were simple ones.
    Here I have tried the same way : shutdown my target database, changing my pfile backup parameters to match the target database. Startup the target database in nomount mode using the pfile. Create spfile from pfile. Then restore controlfile from the backuped controlfile with rman.
    But here this step is a problem.
    My question is simple : what is the best way / good practices to get this working?
    Thanks in advance for your help. Ask if you need any further informations.

  • How to Recover database from old backup and full archive log file

    Hi Oracle expert!
    I met problem when restore my oracle database.
    In my case:
    - My database version: 10.2.0.2
    - I have a database full backup (01-Nov)
    - I have all Archived log file from (01-Nov -> 05-Nov)
    - My database drop in 05-Nov with disk error (no datafile, no redo..).
    - I have no any RMAN backup from (01-Nov -> 05-Nov)
    How can i restore my database to 05-Nov?
    Thanks

    Hi Chinar.
    When i used RMAN flow as your step, but i met the problem!
    - After recover database i select sequence#, applied from v$archived_log;
    --> it apply newest archived log that i had.
    - but when I select Data from table created between 01-Nov to 05-Nov, it not found!
    Not the same way the step:
    SQL> RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCEL?
    It apply newest the same archived log i had table created between 01-Nov to 05-Nov.
    How can i do with RMAN to recover my table?That is not possible,if your all available archive logs applied using rman or through sqlplus(recover database using backup controlfile until cancel) and one of these logs contain your table then there are not any problems.So there are not any difference between recovery using rman and user managed(using sqlplus),but there main matter is applying all archive logs.So first check through rman list copy of archivelog all or list backup of archivelog all and identify there in rman repository is any information or not about these logs.

  • Recover HTML DB Aplication From a Oracle Full Backup

    I lose all my instance becauae a disk problem, but i Have a Full Oracle Backup, I nned to recover my HTML DB Aplication , What I did I restore the FLOWS_FILES Schema,FLOWS_010600 Schema and User WorkSpace Schemas but the same Packege on the FLOWS_010600 Schema are with error.
    How Can IRecover HTML DB Aplication From a Oracle Full Backup ??

    Before I answer this, let me preface this with the fact that this is NOT a formal answer from support.
    I wrote substantial portions of the installer for HTML DB. While others have worked on it more recently than I, I know the process better than just about anyone but Joel.
    From my perspective, you have 2 choices right now:
    1. Full Restore of your database
    2. Reinstall HTML DB
    With option 2, you could restore just the flows_xxxxxx schema to another instance and use the java code documented on this forum to export your app. If you already have your apps backed up, then this is a simple answer. Reinstall HTML DB and import your apps.
    The first problem with your current approach is that there are dozens of explicit object privilidges granted to the flows_xxxxxx user, to the flows_files user and between those 2 users. The second problem is that there are ~85 public synonyms that you are missing. There are also private synonyms between the 2 schemas that you are missing. There are likely other issues that I'm missing, but in summary, you are not likely to succeed with your current approach (that is not challenge, just trying to get you up and running as fast as possible).
    Thanks,

  • Lost Windows Server Backup, historical backups. Backup seems to have restarted from a fresh full backup. How can I get to those old backups?

    Scenario with very bad outlook:
    Friday-16th, early AM.  Win2008 SBS Server crashes due to RAID5 issues, bad disk.  Found that server was NOT configured with hot spare and for some reason the controller had marked a 2nd disk bad..which turned out not to be the case.
    Had a single external USB backup drive being fed by Windows Server Backup.  Obtained support from vendor and was able to regain the RAID and start the server. 
    Soon became apparent that Exchange was having serious issues - edb was corrupt and not mountable.  Restore edb from backup, repaired and was eventually able to mount.  Then found it had Hub Transport issues.  Researching that when it was noticed
    NTFS events being logged at a high rate.  Restarted system to repair the filesystem, which was successful.
    After the FS repair, found the Exchange edb, new edb I had created to migrate mailboxes to, and public edb all 0k in size.
    Restored the edb again and commenced repair, which eventually read Clean Shutdown again...but could not get it to mount.  Exchange was having various issues seemingly with AD.
    Changed backup time to avoid a backup that day, as did not want to back up while RAID was rebuilding - had inserted a replacement for the failed drive.
    Monday/19th, was advised that much of the data was corrupt.  This is an accounting firm and relies heavily on their data, especially since the last time their ext USB was rotated was Nov6 2013.  They now have no year end backup, nor a backup from
    post tax season 2014.
    Is it possible to recover any of the historical backups prior to the full backup/restart?
    Oh, and all Shadow Copies for the impacted volume/drive are gone.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    Please use the “Wbadmin get versions” command to check the backup versions on the server. If there is only latest shadow copy, you may not recover any of the historical backups prior to the full backup.

  • How to recover a TM backup from a NAS drive

    I am using a MBPro from 2011. I lost a lot of family pictures due to my iPhoto library loosing the connection to the original hi-res files. At the moment I try to recover those with Data Rescue4 but it looks I lost quite a lot.
    Now, I do have the following situation:
    Until March 2014 my iPhoto Library resided on my Mac HDD
    The HDD broke and had to be exchanged
    So I moved the iPhoto Library onto a newly bought 2TB external HDD that I connect via USB (a WD MyPassport Ultra)
    Now due to the situation described above, I need to recover the last iPhoto Library that resided on my Mac, but which was never used in iPhoto since the hardware crash
    When I open iPhoto and then TimeMachine, it does not offer me to recover pictures from that last backup, which is from March 2014 and is about 135GB large. I assume the reason is that I haven´t used it in iPhoto, so iPhoto can´t know.
    The TM backup on my NAS, a 4TB Seagate Central is 1,2 TB large. The seagate central cannot be connected to a Mac via USB or wire. According to it´s description, the only way to get data on and off is via ethernet. Having read that TM does not support backing up from a NAS, I assume I need to copy the 1,2 TB backup TM file onto another external HDD that I can attach via USB. Is this correct ? Does this help ?
    And then I would need to recover it - but how given the situation above ??
    I am pretty desperate meanwhile as I´ve been working on this for the last four weekends...
    Within the process of data recovery I bought iPhoto Library Manager, PhotoSweeper and DataRescue4 in order to help recover the data. But I don´t know if this helps here. I´ve tried everything to recover my old files with those tools already.
    I would very much appreciate your advice on how to recover my TM backup.

    You can or should be able to recover the iphoto library directly from the NAS.. you do not need to copy it to a disk.
    TM cannot create a backup from a network source.. but it is very happy using a network target.
    Our friend Pondini wrote extensive notes on recovery of various important files using TM
    See Q15 here. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    There is a link in there to recovery of iphoto in particular under various OS.. but the guy died before Yosemite was inflicted on the Apple Community.
    TM has never worked particularly well since Yosemite.. so I can only offer my hope that the method still works..
    Here is an example of recovery manually of iphoto library from TM backup I did to show how it is done.
    Can't access old files on time capsule
    In Yosemite you might be able to simply right click on the file in Finder.. and it bring up an option to recover it from TM.. of course that would assume TM was going to actually work and that is a bridge too far for Yosemite.
    In the end.. you can of course do a full recovery to a USB drive plugged into your computer.. I have also used that method to get around issues with finding stuff from old backup.. however IMHO the manual method of digging through the backup offers you the best chance of recovery.
    Do protect the TM sparsebundle.. in the end that is the only connection back to you files you have.. so saving a copy of the sparsebundle to a USB drive is not a bad idea.. Certainly do nothing in terms of manipulating the sparsebundle.. you can extract files from it.. copy it to another location.. but make no changes to original sparsebundle on the network drive whatsoever.. so do not continue backups to it or anything like that.
    My strong recommendation btw since Yosemite or even Mavericks was to use Carbon Copy Cloner.. and make a bootable backup of your main operating system and any other drives.. You would not be in this mess if you had .. so for future reference.. TM is not really adequate.

  • Restore a single table from full database backup

    Hi,
    I have a full database (10.2.0.1) backup with RMAN.
    Suddenly a table got truncated. How to get back that table without restoring and recovering the full database (Point in time recovery) since if I restore the database to an earlier time then the other transactions will hamper.
    Also creating a standby database and import export the table will solve my problem. But is there any other way to restore the lost table.
    Thanks in advance.

    No other way to restore the data if you don't want do point in time recovery. If you drop the table then you can restore it from the recyclebin but for the truncate operation it won't help. If you have enabled the flash back table for that particular table then you can restore the data for only that table.

  • Time Machine Deleted Files From A Non-Full Backup?

    OK... I just noticed something strange... I had some movie files that I deleted sometime yesterday (don't need them anymore)... just now, I wanted to see to retrieve one of them with TM and they're gone!
    My backup drive is nowhere near full and TM didn't warn me about deleting anything... looking at my backups, I noticed that I only have backups for yesterday at 8:03AM and from 8:09PM (and on)... I'm guessing that's the case because anything before 8:09PM is now more than 24 hrs old... hence, it's 'thinned out'... I also noticed that I only have my initial backup from Friday... not the several it made afterwards... and that backup from Friday is missing some data I had that was captured by the later backups...
    What's going on here? Seems to me that it should have all of my stuff, no?

    If you have all of the hourly data essentially versioned and incorporated into the daily, then Joe wants to restore from 3 days ago, if he has a file there that he has changed every single hour for that particular day, then he has 24 possible files to restore! It becomes a versioning nightmare. Though my example is extreme it's possible.
    Yeah, but that is what computers are good at, though. You can even put a simple UI on this, where the most recent version (the last edited version before its untimely deletion) is the only thing you see, unless you want to delve deeper into the depths of versions of the file.
    Also consider what is currently done for backups. People manually, or to a schedule, do point in time backups. Not as frequently as time machine, but it still happens. They have the exact same issues, with the exception that TM may have people becoming relaxed about their data, falsely believing it always going to be in a backup set somewhere.
    Yeah, point-in-time backups are always an issue, because they are just a snapshot, and not a journal of things done to change a file, so you can't recover something if it was never in a point-in-time backup.
    Sure it has it's flaws, but overall it's better there than not.
    I totally agree with that. Getting people to use some backup (even if flawed) is way better than the dismal state of backups for end users. I guess I'm just advocating for improving even further the state of backups, to a point where you can actually rely on them 99.999%.
    In case anyone is interested, I have been participating in an Open Source backup project "Box Backup" for the last few years. It supports the keeping of deleted files as long as the backup server has space left. It also solves another TM problem, in that it backs up only what changed in a large file (like a Parallels virtual Disk), so you don't need to do full backups of every file every time it changes. It has many other features as well, such as network backups, encrypted backups, and multiple platform support (Windows, Mac, Linux, and more).
    Go to http://www.boxbackup.org/ to check it out.
    This, however is not a solution (yet) for the average Joe to use. It requires a server on which to run the backup server (which could be a Mac), and some setup, and use of Terminal.app, etc. But it does solve many of the issues with TM.
    Thanks,
