Restore controlfile from backup location

Hi All,
I have a RMAN backup and want to recover my data from backup. RMAN backup has taken by someone but during restore to another DB server I am confused at controlfile point. I can see two controlfile in RMAN backup. Do I need to add both controlfile in restore command or any one controlfile would be okay? Please suggest.
I run below command - rman > restore control file from '<backup location>';
Thanks...

I run below command - rman > restore control file from '<backup location>';In you log file one of backup set contains of data files another backup set contains Controlfile + SPFILE(optional)
Or else you can check from source database
RMAN> list backup of controlfile;
Note that backup piece according to date, and you can use that piece name to restore controlfile.

  • Restore controlfile from tape backup without autobackup setting on

    I am testing a scenraio of restoring control file if we loose all control files.
    My RMAN settings for CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP is OFF. But, I have taken a backup of controlfile using 'BACKUP CURRENT CONTROL FILE' .

    My question is, How can I restore control file from tape backup without CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP setting ON.
    It sounds like, There is no way we can restore control file from tape backup if you've not set the CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP is ON.
    Please advice

    When all controlfiles are lost and a recovery catalog is NOT used, RMAN has no information , where to find the controlfile backup. It's not enough to specify the channel, such a channel could hold many different backups from many different databases. You have tell , which database and which backupset. Modify your run block:
    SET DBID <DBID of the database,for which you want to restore the controlfile>;
    RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM <name_of_backupiece_which_contains_the_controlfile backup>';

  • Restore controlfile from leagato tape backup

    I am using legato tool to perform rman tape backup.
    I use the following script on legato to get the controlfile backup.
    "backup current controlfile format '%d_%s_%p.ctrl'; "
    If I lost the controlfile how do i restore controlfile from the tape. Assume that the DB in nomount stage.

    Hi,
    backing up autobackup controlfiles to legato is possible. All you have to do is to configure autobackup accordingly. By default autobackup controlfiles will get written to disk.
    However i strongly recommend to use a rman backup catalog. This will save you a lot of time consuming trouble if you need to restore your database.
    The rman catalog database itself does not need any license and is rather small (5 GB on disk, 512 MB memory).
    Restoring the control file will be something like this:
    set controlfile autobackup format for device type sbt to '%F';
    restore controlfile from autobackup;

  • Where is the data file for the address book located, I need to restore mine from backup but don't know where it is.

    Where is the data file for the address book located, I need to restore mine from backup but don't know where it is to do so.  Putting my Mac Pro onto icloud synching contacts resulted in duplicate and triplicates of the same cards.  I have a few THOUSAND contacts and the last time this happened was on mobile me.  that had a function where you could replace info on the mobile me server with info on the computer.  I see no way to do that on the new cloud.

  • Restore Files from Backup on Vista Home Premium ; HP Pavilion m8120n

    Hello,
    I backed up files on HP personal media drive M:HP8120 and did a full System Recovery on my HP Pavilion m8120n. Now when I attempt to restore files from a backup made on this computer, the message says there are no backups available on this computer.  I tried advanced restore/Restore files from backup made on another computer or restore files for all users on this computer.  I can see the file in Select the Backup set to restore window.  I select the file and in the next window, select the date to restore from, I get the message “Backup location is not available.”  If I click next, in the select the files and folders to restore window, nothing is listed.  However, I get the opportunity to restore everything in this backup -- add files, add folders, etc. If I click add folders, I don’t see drive M: but I see drive C: and D:. 
    At this point I am at a loss.  Can anyone shed light on my situation?

    Thanks for the info. It appears that your Time-Warner router is serving a public IP address.
    My suggestion is to use the D-Link wireless-router for your local LAN (connect the Time-Warner to the WAN input of the D-Link). If you're concerned about speed issues, you can connect your laptop into the LAN bridge of the D-Link.
    If you're worried about speed, you can do a simple before and after experiment to see if the D-link is degrading your I/O throughput. I've used sites speedtest.net with good success in troubleshooting bandwidth issues.

    Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me.  Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?

  • Recovering Mac HD via Time Machine Backup fails because "Restore system from backup" doesn't show in Utilities Menu of original install. DVD

    Hi, after serious problems (troubleshooting didn't help) with my iMac G5 (PPC) running Mac OS X Leopard I've tried to recover my Mac HD via Time Machine (exactly as described by David Pogue on page 242 of the Leopard Missing Manual).

  • Restoring System from Backup

    When the mac os x cd installer is running you can go to "Utilities" and "Restore System from Backup". Does this command install snow leopard and then add the time machine files or does it just restore the files (meaning you will have to install Snow Leopard first).

    Have a read here How do I restore my entire system?
    It restores both the OSX system and the user files (applications and data).

  • "Restore system from backup" doesn't work

    Hi folks! I've got a strange little problem and my normal rampage through Google hasn't dug up anything, so I figured I'd ask it here.
    I currently have an early 2011 MacBookPro running 10.6.8 on an Intel SSD. A few days ago I figured I'd install an XP boot camp partition for the occasional bout of gaming (mmm... Skyrim... *dreamy look*)
    So I made my Time Machine backup up-to-date, burned a CD with drivers, and let Disk Utility play with the partitions. Only thing was it said it couldn't do the job due to space issues and suggested I wipe the disk first.
    Ok, no problem. My Time Machine backup was snug and secure and I've got plenty of install experience. I popped in the Lion DVD I'd burned for my other iMac and booted from it. Strangely, it give me an installation error (I guess it tries to install automatically without user interaction). But that's fine since I didn't want to install Lion anyway (I'm addicted to SL's Spaces). So I ran Disk Utility again with the partitions the way Boot Camp had advised (GUID, 2 partitions). This also worked without a problem.
    Then I attempted the option "Restore system from backup" in the Utilities menu, and lo and behold: nothing happens. Nothing happened at all. No drive spin-up, no color wheel, no indication of any activity whatsoever. If I select any of the other options, it opens promptly, but clicking the restore option is as productive as a glob of ant spit on a meteor strike.
    So I figure, still no worries, maybe the Lion disk has issues. So I take out my Snow Leopard DVD and boot from that. Never gave problems before, but alas: the iMac refuses to boot from it and starts throwing out 3 beeps every 5 seconds or so. (Googling the beeps pointed me to memory issues. Wait.. Whut?!?)
    Okaaay. Then I tried it with my Leopard DVD. Once again, won't boot, beeps.
    The Lion DVD seems to be the only DVD I can boot my mac from. The only thing I can guess at is that Apple prevents us from installing with older DVD's because of driver issues, which makes sense I guess. But I had Snow Leopard running fine up until now. I've tried several different partitioning schemes including the default one for an installation, but no cigar. Both Disk Utility and futil show both drives are visible and ok.
    Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance for your time!
    regards,
    Meindert Honig

    You're mixing two very different things. You get the +Star Wars+ display, with the timeline on the right, only when browsing via +Enter Time Machine.+ Restoring something from there +*does not erase your entire computer!+* It only replaces what you've selected to restore.
    If you do a full system restore (meaning boot volume), starting with your Install disc (per #14 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum), there is no "Star Wars" display, and only the drive/partition that you select as a destination for the restore is erased.

  • Restoring iphone from backup

    is anyone else having trouble restoring iphone from backup since 2.0. it worked fine with 1.4 but i have tried it once with 2.0 and once 2.0.1 both times it said my backup was corrupt. this is getting real annoying.

    I'm about to just thow my iphone 3G out the window. I cannot upgrade the software without it hanging up and not finishing. Then I am forced to try to restore the phone, and it will not restore. I am taking it to an apple genius again today to get it restored. I have not gotten any information that has helped resolve this issue. I've been on the phone with a tier 1 and tier 2 support person for 4 hours about 3 weeks ago and I'm now in the same boat again. Any info on how to make this work would be greatly appreciated!!
