Restore an RMAN backup to a new db instance name.

I have a old copy of an RMAN backup of a production database from 2 months ago. I want to restore it to a new instance name. The backup no longer shows in the RMAN backup listing from the control file of the current production system.
The backup I have does have the control file as well as the other backup pieces, Is there a procedure to restore this to a new instance since the backup is no longer in the current production control file?
I have used the duplicate command of RMAN and have successfully restored databases to a new instance name by using the newname option.
But the backups were always in the control file.
Can this be done? If so, how?

You need to restore the controlfile first and copy it into all locations where init.ora specify them. then startup mount, and 'rman / target' will give you access to the old contents of the controlfile at that time.. If the rest of the back is on tape, you need to restore the rman backupset first to disk on same location specified in the backupsets paths. same for the archivelogs.
Then you can decide to go for a duplicate database to target <newname> or a restore DB (must have the same name). but was the DB a cold backup ? then remember than Rman does not takes the redo logs, so that your shutdown before must be clean (shutdown immediate at most). If it is an hot you may need need to dump the arc and possible do a recover manual (case you forgot to put the arcchives or the archives names is not the same in the init.ora than original for you include the db name in it).
In that case the archive logs may be renamed to what ever is in the init.ora. and there are many others possbilities. you did not specified enough data on the backup

Restoring a RMAN backup to a new database instance

Hi Mates,
I have an issue with restoring a RMAN backup that i have with me to a new database instance. What i have with me are:
1. Backup of SPFile. (O1_MF_NCNNF_CTLFILE_BU_92DVGYO2_.BKP)
2. Backup of Control file (O1_MF_NNSNF_SPFILE_BU_92DVGW9H_.BKP)
3. Full database backup (O1_MF_NNSNF_FULLPROD_BU_92DVGW9H_.BKP)
I have received these files from a customer environment and I need to restore these to a new database instance in a local machine. I have given a attempt as follows (in Oracle 10g):
1, Created a new database instance (Test75) using Oracle Database Configuration Assistant
2. SET ORACLE_SID = Test75
3. Connected to this instance using RMAN
4. Tried to restore the SPFILE from the received BKP file.
I am getting errors and cannot proceed. I am not sure whether I am executing the correct steps. Please help me out by telling me how should I achieve this.
Thank you.

1. Backup of SPFile. (O1_MF_NCNNF_CTLFILE_BU_92DVGYO2_.BKP)
2. Backup of Control file (O1_MF_NNSNF_SPFILE_BU_92DVGW9H_.BKP)
The first backuppiece looks like a ControlFile and the second one looks like an SPFILE'
>I am getting errors and cannot proceed
What is the error ? (I assume that you tried to restore the SPFILE from O1_MF_NNSNF_SPFILE_BU_92DVGW9H_.BKP
Note that you also have to SET DBID before you restore the controlfile

Try using your computer password. I tried any password I could think of relating to my phones, but it was none of them; it was, in fact, my computer password.

Provide a new, unique instance name - Distributed Environment

Hi,
I am not sure about this piece of information in installation docs
please refer
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epm_install_11121/frameset.htm?launch.html
When you configure in a distributed environment, provide a new, unique instance name as you configure each server. For example, if you are using the default instance name epmsystem1 on the first server, and you keep the same naming convention on subsequent servers, you would create new, unique instance names on each subsequent server, such as epmsystem2, epmsystem3, and >so on. What if i use same path "d:\.......\epmsystem1" on all servers in distributed environment?
Regards
Kumar
Edited by: Kumar 1 on Oct 4, 2011 6:18 AM

Thanks John,
Mostly i configured different instance name ("D:\oracle\middleware\epmsystem1" and "D:\oracle\middleware\epmsystem2" etc.
but i have one client where i see similar instance on all servers in distributed environment "D:\oracle\middleware\epmsystem1" and "D:\oracle\middleware\epmsystem1" etc.
Please advice? and let me know what could be impact of these two scenario.

Restore old rman backup after changing dbid?

Hi,
I backed up database using rman. then i changed dbid for that databases. can i restore backup what i backed up before changing DBID?

No.
When you change the DBID for a database, it becomes a different database. All the datafiles are stamped with the new DBID.
And you cannot select a DBID value either, so you cannot choose to change the DBID back to the previous value.
A RESTORE verifies that it is restoring to the same database -- it uses the DBID to verify. Since the DBIDs for the Backup and the now-present database do not match, a RESTORE cannot be attempted.
You can remove the database with the changed DBID and do a complete RESTORE from the backup.

Unable to restore time machine backup onto a new hard drive

I recently bought a new hard drive for my mid-2010 white Macbook. I have kept this computer regularly backed up with time machine, but just to be sure I made sure I hooked up my external hard drive prior to changing the hard drive and made sure it was fully backed up. I checked my exceptions and saw that my system files and applications were listed, so I removed them from the exceptions list and let it back up again (it only backed up a further 60MB though, so that made me a little uneasy).
I successfully switched over the hard drive and then plugged in my external hard drive so I could do a restore from Time Machine. My external hard drive has 3 partitions: 2 time machine backups for each of my computers, and one partition for storing files that also has an old copy of 10.6 on it.
When I booted the computer, I held option, then selected Macbook TM. When it came to the window with 4 options, including disk utility and restore from time machine backup, I selected restore from Time Machine backup. When I did so it said "No OS X Backups Were Found." Why wouldn't it have backups listed if I have been consistently backing it up? How else do I do a full system backup?
Also, how can I be sure that I'm restoring this backup onto the new hard drive? It didn't prompt me to select that drive at any point, and I want to make sure I'm not overwriting the middle partition on the backup drive (or anything else).

Please visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
You will find that Mountain Lion stores an invisible copy of the Recovery HD. You can boot from your Time Machine backup drive by restarting with OPTION boot:
Boot Using OPTION key:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "OPTION" key.
3. Release the key when the boot manager appears.
4. Select the disk icon for your Time Machine backup drive.
5. Click on the arrow button below the icon.
Your computer should boot into the Recovery HD. You will be presented with a main window of options. Select the option to restore from a Time Machine backup then click on the Continue button.

How to restore a older backup with a new SIM

Hi everyone!
I have a problem. I have a Iphone 4, which I bought with a contract in the UK. I recently went to a shop to unblock it (I live in France now)
Before I unlocked it I made a back up (i am new to this stuff) and now my phone is working with a new SIM card but when I do a back up from the Itunes, nothing comes back. I only see the apps that I downloaded in my Itunes, but no texts/emails/messages/photos. I made a newer back up/sync after that by mistake. But that wouldnt be a problem right? I can choose an older back up but it doesnt do much....
I tried it once before I dropped my phone at a shop to unlock it, and I could restore it but it took 3 hours so I cancelled. If I restore my backups now, it only takes a few seconds. So I think it is lost??
So somebody, please help me. I dont know what to do! I lost all my contacts etc...
Please...!
Cheers
Marie

Same problem. My wife lost her iPhone 3Gs while on vacation. Purchased iPhone 5 on the trip and took pictures with it. When we got back home I clicked restore from a previous backup and all the pictures disappeared.
I wonder if Apple is reading this thread. ?????????
NO... What did you expect the phone to do when you restore from a backup.
You should've imported the new pics to your computer as you would a digital camera..

I am unable to restore from iCloud backup because the new phone has iOS 8.1.2 and the old phone has iOS 8.2? Any help.

I Have just bought an iPhone 6 and want to restore my iPhone 4s via iCloud backup to the new iPhone 6. The setup of the iPhone 6 halted because according to the new phone it has iOS 8.1.2 whereas the backups were stored using iOS 8.2 following my updating of the iPhone 4S recently. How do I jump through this hoop? How do I update the new phone to iOS 8.2 without serring it up first? Anyone, please help?

Update the new phone to the same version that has been used to create the backup. In your case, the new device has to run 8.2 to be able to use the backup made with the other device.
Setting it back to factory settings will install the newest version and after that you can use the backup made under 8.2

Can I still use my "old" Mac after restoring Time Machine backup to a new Mac?

Hi guys.
Will I still be able to use my old Macbook Pro 2008 (Leopard) after restoring his latest Time Machine backup on a new Macbook Pro 2012 (Lion)?
Using Setup Assistant and transfering data using Time Machine creats the same Account on the new machine that was on the old one. I just don't know how the old machine will react towards his clone. I don't want to make a mess...
Please let me know.
Thanks

It should work if the drive is connected directly to your Mac. That is not the same as saying that it will work.
Since Mountain Lion was just released, it might make sense to hold on a few weeks and watch the forums for new and unforeseen issues before you dive in.

Problem restoring Iphone 4 backup onto my new Iphone 5 with Itunes!

I just purchased a new Iphone 5, started it and in the configuration chose restore from itunes backup. The Iphone was connected to Itunes and the Iphone 4 backup restored onto my new phone, however only very few apps made it to the new Iphone 5! Any idea? Diskspace is the same on both phones and not full at all.

iTunes 10.7 and the iPhone 5 require Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer. Mac OS X 10.6.8 requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB of RAM; to get it, click here, buy and install the DVD, and run Software Update.

HT1414 How do you restore an old backup? The new one with the stuff I didn't need was backed up and overwrote my old one.

Pages wasn't working so someone told me to delete it and redownload it. Of course, our school told us not to use Cloud since there wasn't much space and now I lost most of my notes. I think I backed it up before I deleted it though but when I reconnected by iPad, it rebacked up everything and I don't know how to restore from previous backups. Help please!

You may not have any previous backups if iTunes overwrote the only backup that you have.
Launch iTunes on your computer (do not connect the iPad yet) and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. Check the box at the bottom that says - Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. You can also see if you have multiple backups for the iPad in that window. If you do - Click OK and quit iTunes. If you don't have another backup, just turn on auto sync again. There is nothing that that you can do if you don't have another backup.
Assuming that you did have another backup - connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPad name under devices and select - Restore from Backup. If you have multiple backups, you can select the one that you want from the drop down menu in the pop up window.
