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;

Tycho

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Livecache recovery from cold backup  with raw devspaces

    We are recovering the Livecache database from code backup to  a database with raw devspaces. We gave the following raw parameters to DATA and LOG devspaces:
    DATA Devspace: /dev/vx/rdsk/azdevdg/lvlzddisk1
    LOG Devspace: /dev/vx/rdsk/azdevdg/lvlzddisk3
    We are getting the following errors during initialization:

    e or address

    ad
    Any Ideas ?

    Hi,
    as for all liveCache issues, I'd have to ask you too to open an OSS message on queue BC-DB-LVC.
    A thing you could try:
    try to read using 'dd' from your devices. If 'dd' can't read from the devspaces, then you've got a misconfiguration somewhere, i.e. an operating system issue and not a liveCache issue. In that case, we (BC-DB-LVC) wouldn't be responsible for the error.
    The 'dd' command could look like:
    dd if=/dev/vx/rdsk/azdevdg/lvlzddisk1 of=<filename> <blocksize>

  • 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).

  • Windows Server 2012 - Backup failing with Exchange - The application will not be available for recovery from this backup. the consistency check failed

    Hi
    We have a Windows 2012 server with Exchange 2013, all is working fine except now i am getting issues with the backup.
    'Exchange - The application will not be available for recovery from this backup. the consistency check failed for the component Microsoft Exchange Server'
    I have checked the database all is fine, i have created a new db and move all mailbox;s over and then removed the old db, i have enabled circular logging and then disabled it, it seems no matter what i do i cannot get a full backup!
    i did have to restore the server once and the backups still worked for about 4 days after that and then stopped, i have also tried to remove and re add the backup role!
    i am stumped, any advice would be great!

    Hi
    Ok, i created a test db and tried to back it up right away, it failed, i did not add any mailbox's to it either. i got quite a few events in the windows logs, as well as the same event above i got the following:

  • 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;

  • 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:

  • 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

    3> allocate channel c1 type disk;
    4> allocate channel c2 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:

    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?

  • 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
    Nirav

    Thanks for your inputs! It is most useful to me.

  • Time Machine Full Recovery From Wireless Backup

    I am reporting this as a learning experience for all.
    I just had a hard drive fail on my MacBook. Apple Care was golden and now I have a clean install with Leopard.
    Here is my situation. MacBook backed up via time machine on a wireless network. Windows on boot camp partition. Dedicated disk (1TB Buffalo) connected to wife's iMac via firewire.
    I want to do a full recovery. I start up leopard and it gives me the option to do a full recovery during setup. I have no time machine backup list provided. I continue with setup. When I go to the recover option of time machine I am asked to select a file. This is when I call tech support.
    Tech Support says I should have had the backup disk connected directly via firewire for setup to see it. Time machine stores the backup under these conditions as a Sparse bundle. Now that I am past setup I have to do a migration rather than a recovery. I start up the migration assistant and I still cannot access the sparse bundle as it is grayed out. The leap here is you have to mount the sparse bundle, double click, then it shows up as a disk you can migrate from.
    Windows Partition, as TS puts it is "on its own".
    The confusion for me was that I could not recover exactly as I had backed up.
    I hope this helps someone. Cheers!

    It seems to be. All music, photos, applications, etc. are present. I have not had time to do a complete review of my migration, I will track this post for a while and report any problems. There were significant OS updates which were required. I thought that they would be included as part of the migrate, not so. Perhaps they are on a true "full recovery" from setup, any one know?
    Migration has no option for any part of the OS. It assumes you already have it.
    If you recover your entire system from a TM backup (assuming nothing significant was excluded), you get your entire system back exactly the way it was: the OS, Apps, settings, preferences, user data, etc.
    You don't load a new OS from the Leopard Install disc -- you only use it for it's copy of Disk Utility and the installer -- everything else comes from your TM backup.

  • Oracle recovery from tape backup

    A plea for help fellows,
    Can an a few Oracle tables be recovered using datafile/s that were backed up to conventional tape back up?
    The story is that a few days ago I started trying to recover tables for a warehouse (10.2.0.1.0) that appeared as recovered by using EM and rman script embedded in such that gave me a 'confirmation' that the rows were flashed back. It turns out that the rows were not there (unless something else has to be done after the confirmation message in EM), and this was done on three tables.
    It has now passed the time (apparently) that I can flash back the tables, as I use the SCN for the relevent time to recover (a flashback query) and I get 'ora-01555: snapshot too old' - the undo won't reach back that far. The database is in archivelog mode. It has now reached a point where the data warehouse owner would like the tables back pronto, but only three of hundreds of tables. What is desired by the data warehouse owner is for the tables to be restored to a location where his team members can pick the 'necessary rows to recover' from a restored copy of the tables.
    If I could restore whole tables - to different name, (even unnecessary ones) or even a whole tablespace - different name, the contents could be gotten rid of once it has been scavenged. But the tape restored data file/s would have a different SCN.
    Can someone tell me how this can be done please? What is the level of difficulty?
    Regards, David

    So basically, you want to get 3 tables from an old hot or cold backup taken sometime ago, correct? If so, create another seperate db, restore the old db, recreate the controlfile, recover(if restoring a hot backup), open the db and then export the tables.
    Another option is to use RMAN to restore the db, open the db and perform export.
    You can then, say create another schema in the target db in another tablespace and then import the tables under the new user's schema.
    Hope this helps.
