Restore cold backup and RMAN backup

Hi,
I have cold backup as well as RMAN backup. But i don't know how to restore the backup.
Please anybody send, steps or links for restoring both backups.
Regs,
Brijesh

The "script" would depend on how the backup was done.
A cold backup should be a backup of controlfiles and datafiles.
Was it done using RMAN ? Or done using an OS command (e.g. "cp" or "tar" or "cpio") ?
A non-RMAN cold backup can be restored with the same command that was used to create the backup. If the backup did not include the Online Redo Log files, you need to simulate a dummy recovery from the SQL command line (RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL CANCEL ; then CANCEL) and ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS.
If the backup was done using RMAN, you need to
1. RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM '/location_of_backuppiece'
2. ALTER DATABASE MOUNT
3. RESTORE DATABASE
4. ALTER DATABASE OPEN

RMAN LIST backup and maintain backup.

Hi Experts,
Currently we have some changes on the rman retention policy from 168days to 90days.
RMAN Retention policy is:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 14 DAYS;
And RMAN Scripts monthly backup is:
run
allocate channel t1 type 'sbt_tape' parms
'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpo_monthly.opt)';
backup as compressed backupset database tag ${SID}_MONTHLY keep until time 'sysdate+168';
release channel t1;
I believe I still have the old backup after I changed the 'sysdate+168' to 'sysdate+90'; on my scripts
How do I manage to delete this ?
Using, List backup and list backup summary will prompt me very long line and window,
How do I create the CONFIGURE settings I can remove the allocate channel... on my scripts ?
Cheers,
Raff

Hi mseberg,
I have executed as your advised below, but somehow it doesnt get the files.
Is there any way to check what is the oldest backup that available ?
RMAN> DELETE noprompt BACKUP COMPLETED BEFORE 'SYSDATE-90';
allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
channel ORA_DISK_1: SID=100 device type=DISK
allocated channel: ORA_SBT_TAPE_1
channel ORA_SBT_TAPE_1: SID=138 device type=SBT_TAPE
channel ORA_SBT_TAPE_1: Data Protection for Oracle: version 5.5.1.0
specification does not match any backup in the repository
RMAN> DELETE EXPIRED BACKUP;
using channel ORA_DISK_1
using channel ORA_SBT_TAPE_1
specification does not match any backup in the repository
RMAN> DELETE FORCE NOPROMPT BACKUP COMPLETED BEFORE 'SYSDATE-90';
using channel ORA_DISK_1
using channel ORA_SBT_TAPE_1

What would happen if I turn off my backup and delete backup data From my device? Will it delete my music and everything for ever or just stay in the cloud but not on my device?

What would happen if I turn off my backup and delete backup data From my device? Will it delete my music and everything for ever or just stay in the cloud but not on my device?

If you have multiple devices backing up to the Cloud, you will see all of them listed. You would click on each device to change what is backed up from that device. You can then delete your individual back-ups.
Once you have all your settings to your liking, you can then go back to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, and click on Back Up Now (bottom of the screen) to create a fresh backup with your new settings.

It seems like Ethernet backup and Airport backup goes in different ways

Since one month a go, I've been having problems with Time Machine backup over Time Capsule.
When I run Time Machine through Ethernet, there is no problem. Fast and clean. In the Console there is not any error message.
I unplug ethernet cable, start airport, and in the next copy appears: "Bulk settings atributes failled", several times. Few backups after it will appear problems with a "file path" and few after will appear "deep traversal".
I plug the Ethernet cable, disconnect airport and I forced to re-index the image bundle. Few backups correct with Ethernet. Unplug ethernet, connect airport, and again the same history.
It seems like Ethernet backup and Airport backup goes in different ways.
Permissions are corrected and there is no problems in any disc with First Aid.
¿Any idea?. Thanks in advance.

I am having the same issue. I have three layered elements as three columns in the body of the page. When I add the farthest right element it pushes the other left elements to the bottom of the page. There are aren't any other elements on the page.
Is this a CSS issue? I thought about exporting to Dreamweaver and fixing it there but would like to take the easy route first.

Time Machine stuck on "preparing backup" and "Indexing Backup" after forced restart and install from Lion

Hello!
I have been using Time Machine on the Time Capsule for over a month now and no problems. However when I was installing Lion it had to restart. I did not see that Time Machine was going at the time when I pushed restart until it was too late.
Now Time Machine seems to be stuck on "Preparing Backup" and "Indexing Backups". It has been nearly 20-30 minutes for Indexing and I wonder if I corrupted something or something else. If there a way I can solve this problem? Thanks!

I had this same problem, this is going to sound ridiculous but this is what I finally did. I wiped my backup, crazy right?
It's there for when your hard drive crashes, so it's not like you are going to miss much if you wipe it. Tell it to stop backing up, go to disk utility, click your external and then erase it. Go back to time machine settings and reselect it as your backup drive. It will do an initial back up again and you are good to go.
Hope this helps.

Implications of losing ArchivedLogs and RMAN Backup directory.

DB version:10gR2
We have a test database which is important since it is a pre-production DB used by the application team for their final testing .
Currently this DB is not in Archivelog mode. Every night a cronjob runs to create the expdp datapump dump of the schemas in this DB.
We want to test online RMAN backups in this DB. So we are going to put this db in ARCHIVELOG mode for a week.
The RMAN backup pieces will be stored in +/u03/data1/orabkp+ and the Archived logs will be stored in +/u04/ach_logs+ directory.
We want to know the impact of /u04/ach_logs , the archived logs directory getting accidently deleted. I know that the accidental deletion of RMAN backup directory shouldn't impact the normal running of the database. But we want to know the if the accidental deletion of Archived redo logs directory will impact the DB.
Edited by: user10633418 on Sep 25, 2009 2:53 AM

NO, it will not impact in the database. If you delete any archive log files database will run normally. But you won't restore your database in point in time. For recovery you need your full backup of all datafiles + archivelogs + online redo log files.
For a backup policy of any production database where you don't want to lose any transaction you must reserve your archive logs files by rman backup.

Restoring a catalog from backup and incremental backups on external Hard drive

Hello!
I recently bought a new computer where I installed again Elements 8 (that's the one I'm currently using). From my old computer, I have an initial complete catalog backup which was saved in a folder (I called this folder "Complete catalog backup") on an external hard drive. I also made then subsequent incremental backups which were saved in different folders called "Incremental backup 1", "incremental backup 2" etc. on the same external hard drive. Apparently in Element, I discovered that incremental backups can't be saved in the same folder as initial complete backup!
How should I proceed now to restore my catalog on my new computer? I know how to do it when one has only a complete initial catalog backup, but now I have also several incremental backups (contained in folders "incremental backup 1", "incremental backup 2" etc.), I just don't know how to proceed.
Some help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks a lot

First and foremost: Forget re-importing. You would loose all your edits. Importing is strictly only for images that have never been imported before.
The remedy for "missing" photos is to re-link them.
In Lr / Grid View right-click the top-most folder in the folders panel. By "top-most" I mean the parent folders of all folders. If you have several parent folder right-click one of them.
Then select <Find Missing Folder>, navigate to the corresponding folder on your new drive E and select it. Do this for every other parent folder. If the folder names and structure haven't changed Lr will find the sub-folders on its own.

Restoring new phone and previous backup lost

So I broke my iPhone and got a new one and now the latest version of my previous iPhone that it is letting me restore is from July. I know that I have backed up since then, especially since I updated my software on Wednesday. Does anyone know why this is happening and a potential solution? Thank you!!!

No, nothing will be deleted from your phone. So yes, you can delete the old backup, and make a new one for your new device.

Online backup and RMAN

Can I do online backup / RMAN together?

Archivelog files and Rman backup

Hi all,
Please somebody guide me regarding the following concept.
We have the oracle server version 10.2.0.1.0, working with Windows OS,
I had set the parameter log_archive_dest_1 for locating archivelog files, then I had changed the archivelog files to the flash recovery area(located in another disk) by using the parameters db_recovery_file_dest_size and db_recovery_file_dest.
Now the archivelog files are being located at two different location. At this point, If I take backup for archivelog files with the aid of RMAN, then ,
How will the RMAN take backup from those two different locations?
Thanks&Regards,
Jai.

PROBLEM :
I have archivelogs duplexed - when running RMAN - rman backups up the archivelogs from both duplexed destinations - from the user manual - this should not be the case, any ideas?
Details:
I have archivelogs duplexed
I have the following set in rman :
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 2 DAYS;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/backup/rman/WPPMD/control_%F';
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' PARALLELISM 10 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET;
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/backup/rman/WPPMD/backup_%d_%T_%U' MAXPIECESIZE 10 G;
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE OFF; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM 'AES128'; # default
CONFIGURE COMPRESSION ALGORITHM 'LOW' AS OF RELEASE 'DEFAULT' OPTIMIZE FOR LOAD TRUE;
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO BACKED UP 1 TIMES TO DISK;
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/dbs/snapcf_WPPMD.f'; # default
When I run backups via a script :
backup incremental level=$RMAN_LEVEL database plus archivelog;
($RMAN_LEVEL changes between 0 and 1 depending on the day of the week)
It backs both duplex copies of the same archivelog
From the document :
Oracle10g / 11g - Getting Started with Recovery Manager (RMAN) [ID 360416.1]
It says :
Even if your redo logs are being archived to multiple destinations and you use RMAN to back up archived redo logs,
RMAN selects only one copy of the archived redo log file to include in the backup set. (Since logs with the same log sequence number are identical, there is no need to include more than one copy.)
But this is not the case ie
RMAN> list archivelog sequence 2445;
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
List of Archived Log Copies for database with db_unique_name WPPMD
=====================================================================
Key Thrd Seq S Low Time
4640 1 2445 A 17-DEC-10
Name: /log/recovery_area/WPPMD/archivelog2/1_2445_735315419.dbf
4639 1 2445 A 17-DEC-10
Name: /log/recovery_area/WPPMD/archivelog/2010_12_17/o1_mf_1_2445_6jpx9n7c_.arc
So it still backing up both copies of the archive log.
Any ideas? is this a bug?
Thanks
Luca

Archive files and rman backup

Hi Experts,
For testing, I creates a testing DB. after that, I delete some archive file from physical side.
testing DB works well.
However, I tyr to back up thsi testing DB. I got below error message
allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
channel ORA_DISK_1: sid=142 devtype=DISK
new RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT 'D:\Oraclebackup\CLS\exports\RMAN\%U

O/S-Error: (OS 2) The system cannot find the file specified.
So How to fix this issue?
That means we can not delete any archive log files that we do not need it.
Otherwise there are a problemwhen we try to backup later
JIm

Hi Jim,
change archivelog all crosscheck ;
will do the trick.
You can purge archive files but do it within rman.
Add a line in your rman backup script which makes backup your database and archive files like this.
delete noprompt copy of archivelog all completed before 'SYSDATE-3';

Difference between cold,warm and hot backup

Hello Pals,
Can you explain the types of backups and when we suppose to go
for which type?
TIA
Prakash

I just know basically two types of backups: consistent (cold)
and unconsistent (hot).
Closed DB backup (cold): The database must be closed using
shutdown normal, transactional or immediate. After this you copy
all datafiles, control files, redo logs, and if you want
(recomended) the parameter file and password file using an OS
command. This is also called a whole backup.
Opened DB backup (hot): This is for databases 24x7 or when you
need to backup the database without closing it. You can backup
the database while it is open but you need to have it in
archivelog mode. You need to read more details for this type of
backup in the product documentation.
Recovery Manager also presents another types of backups.

When the archive disk group and RMAN backup location is full

11.2.0.2 on Solaris 10
2-Node RAC
Sometimes I am faced with a situation where the disk group meant for storing archivelogs is full and the Disk based
RMAN backup location is full as well. What would you do in such a situation ?
This usually happens with our QA/UAT DBs during apps testing of certain type which causes huge amount of redo is generated.
We don't directly backup to tape. The disk based backups are moved to tape every two weeks by our SysAdmin.

Thank you Hemant, Tsharma, Asahideo
If I have free space left in my local filesystem in any of the nodes in my 2-node RAC, I can run something like
-- Untested
BACKUP AS COMPRESSED BACKUPSET ARCHIVELOG ALL DELETE INPUT format '/localNode_pATH/ora_Arch%t_s%s_s%p';and later when the space is freed up in the original RMAN backup location , I can move it there and use CATALOG command to catalog this backup . Right ?
