Restore database to another host - I have only rman backup files

Hi all,
The PC where Oracle was installed is crashed.
I have only the RMAN backup pieces in other computer.
I want to restore/recover this RMAN backup to other PC.
I know the commands, restore database, recover database,
but I've always used these commands with rman into existing rman
user. Now, I don't have anything. I have only the RMAN backup files.
How can I restore/recover database to other PC using these files?
The steps are? create other database, create a rman user, register
the rman backup files in this new rman, and restore these files
in this new database already created with the same name?
thank you!!!!

Create test version of database in another host

Hi!
As a production system I have a database with a standby database. (Dataguard).
Now we want to create a test system of the production database in another host, test system shall not be with a standby database.
Production system is about 5GB.
What is the fastest and easiest way to create the test database, Oracle binaries are installed in test host but no databases are created.
/Ulf

If your database is really only 5 Gb (which would be quite small, particularly for a system that warrants Data Guard), export and import is probably the easiest option. You can also clone the database or recover your backup to the QA machine, but those options seem like a bit more work.

Restore database to different host

Hi
Suppose, I have a full rman backup of a database called "orcl" in the tape.
Can I restore this backupset to another host with database and instance name "test" ?
I will first restore controlfile and datafiles respectively.
In other words, is it necessary to have same database name and instance name if I want to do restore ?

Hi!
If you can connect from the target host to the source host than you can use the "DUPLICATE DATABASE" with "SET NEW NAME" option in rman. This is the easiest way:

[http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14194/rcmsynta028.htm#RCMRF126]
If the connection is not allowd from the target host to the source host than you can simply restore and recover the ORCL database on the target host and rename it with NID (DBNEWID) utility:

Cold backup -- have only _.BKP file in my hand (XE 11G)

I am trying to restore a backup (?????_.BKP) file that has been created on my Oracle XE 11g, and that is all I have in my hand - the database has been uninstalled and I have only the file.
Any one have the previous experience in recovering data like this?
Thanks,

No, I have no previous experience in recovering from an incomplete backup, as it is something which isn't possible.
If you don't have a RMAN catalog database, the control file functions as catalog.
If you don't have a separate controlfile backup and/or a RMAN autobackup of the controlfile of that database, your database is RIP.
Many people forget you make a backup to be able to restore and recover. And as they never test the restore and recover procedure, they run into unpleasant surprises.

Reliability of restoring from a disk image vs from a "normal" backup file

How would you rate the reliability of restoring your data from a disk image file (a sparseimage file, in this case/question) versus from a 'normal' file, e.g. one created by the Backup 3 app?
I read a few discussions here that mention corrupted disk image files...that result in a total loss of data...as opposed to other types of backup files, in which individual files, or folders, could be corruputed.
For some context: my ultimate goal is (a) to create reliable backup files, e.g. in folders in my Home Folder, stored on an external disk drive, and (b) to secure that data.
Thanks to Niel, in a prior discussion, I discovered that I could create a sparseimage file on the Lacie (encrypted).
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=763337&tstart=0
I could then select that secured file as the target / destination for the backup file/s I'm creating with the Backup 3 app. When I log out, that file is locked tight.
But is this 'elegant' solution for backing up data "reliable" when I'll need it at 3am on that dark day when...?
Many thanks.

I keep both images of my boot volume which is just OS and apps, and of my home directory. But I also have full regular backups as well. It is not "either or" but a matter of having backup sets that will work. And rotating those sets.
A daily backup, weekly, and monthly. That could require 3 or even 7 or more. Or partitions. But definitely more than one disk drive.
One disk drive backup set should always be safely off line when making a backup set.
Just as I have a clone of the system, an emergency boot drive, and one backup of the last OS revision.
You have to change sparseimage to dmg if you hope to use Apple Disk Utility Restore, especially if you are working from DVD and not from a hard drive.
I've used DU restore and SuperDuper and never seen or suffered a problem or corruption. But I zero drives before use.

Backing up ipad/iphone to new computer. Have old computer backup files.

I have a new computer and want to backup my ipad and iphone to the new computer without losing data and settings. I have complete backup files from the old computer including the previous ipad and iphone syncs. I have set up itunes on the new computer and transferred over my music. Can I transfer over the mobile device backup files to the new computer so the sync on the new computer is as if I am to syncing to the old computer?

Thanks for the info.
I have 2 files from from old computer (one for iphone and one for ipad) from the folder callled: users\xxx\appdata\roaming\applecomputer\roaming\mobilesync\backup\. If I just copy those over to the new computer and put them in the same subdirectory will the ipad/iphone recognize these when I try to sync?
I also have the old itunes subfolder called Mobile Applications and am wondering if I just copy that over to the new itunes subfolder called itunes\media whether it will automatically be recognized? Note: I am able to access the backup but unable to do anything in itunes in the old computer (such as consolidating or merging files)
Are these all of the files associated with the ipad/ipod backup that would have been stored on the old computer?

Itunes does not recognise my ipod it says i,m already logged in with another ipod. i have only ever used the one i,m using now on this PC.

I tried to access my itunes account with my ipod touch. Itunes says i,m already using another ipod, which isn,t true. I have downloaded all my music and games to ipod touch. I did have another PC which i used an ipod nano. I have not used it on this PC. All my music has my music albums have been wiped out.Brian.

I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Retreiving Azure Database to another host

Hi Guys,
I have currently set up a database in Azure via MySQL Server Management, which i really just migrated to Azure as I am currently using Access. Few questions I need to ask, as I would like to know if Azure will fit my requirements.
What I need to do is basically, allow a client to retrieve this database, update it and then allow Azure to automatically synchronize and update the database. The client will be using this database a number of times a day. How can I go about doing this,
as I really am new to Azure.
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you

Hello,
Access supports connecting to SQL Azure over ODBC (linked tables and pass-through queries), but you need to use the SQL Server Native Client 10.0 driver or later version.
Before connect to SQL database, you should create a SQL Server login as SQL Database does not support Windows authentication. You should also add the current IP in the Firewall setting.

How to install OEM 10g using an existing database on another host

I've created a 10g database (on host solaris_x86) which I like to use for the OEM 10G GC (on host linux_x86).

If I install OEM using new DB, then the installer complains that I've less then 1GB memory.
Does somebody know how to solve this?

Something is wrong ... Remote database works fine.

Why do I have duplicates in my iTunes library when I have only a single file for each song on my PC?

I have duplicates for about half of the songs in my iTunes library. I've recently upgraded to a new PC so I'm assuming that it occurred at that point.
However, when I go in to my iTunes media files I only once copy of each album or song filed. Also if I search my PC I'm only finding one copy of each of these duplicated songs.
Duplicated songs appear to play equally well and there are no exclamation marks next to them either. I tried updating and that didn't work. If I uninstall and reinstall will it delete my iTunes media files? Will I need to back these up first?
Any advice on how to get iTunes to stop displaying the duplicates would be really appreciated.
