Restore from Tape Backup

Hi All,
Oracle Ver. 10.2.0.4 on Sun-Solaris 9.
Need to do a restore and recover on the DR site using the tape backups from production site.
The path and file names are same in both sites.
In the DR site only the Oracle server software is installed. There are no oracle files/database.
Will a incomplete recovery solve the issue?
What will be the steps in RMAN.?

Hi,
If you know the location of the controlfile autobackup than
restore the spfile and controlfile first.
Than mount the controlfile and restore and recover the database to a PIT, sequence or SCN.
You can find a lot of examples of commands in this forum.
Regards,

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' .
When I tried to restore control file. I am receiving following error:
RMAN> run {
2> allocate channel c101 type sbt_tape;
3> restore controlfile ;
4> }
allocated channel: c101
channel c101: sid=153 devtype=SBT_TAPE
channel c101: VERITAS NetBackup for Oracle - Release 6.0 (2006110304)
Starting restore at 24-MAY-2007 13:44:59
using channel ORA_DISK_1
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============

RMAN-03002: failure of restore command at 05/24/2007 13:44:59
RMAN-06563: control file or SPFILE must be restored using FROM AUTOBACKUP
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>';

Creating a Duplicate Database on a Remote Host will provide all the information.

Hard disk crashed, restored data from tape backup, Firefox not showing bookmarks. What is the location of bookmarks & favourites to ensure I have restored the correct file?

Hard disk crashed (XP), restored files from tape backup using Retrospect onto new Windows 7 laptop. Started up Mozilla after restore but bookmarks and favourites are missing.
I still have access to the backup tape and files. I was wondering whether the bookmarks are kept anywhere special other than the Mozilla program file that I restored.

RMAN Backup Restore from tape

Hello Gurus
We have lvl0 RMAN database backup restored from tape but due to some reasons we could not apply recovery on it. On checking the information in controlfile, it identified only the system file and no other file. So, we recreated the controlfile and decided to recover using backup controlfile option (until cancel or until change or until time). However, to my surprise, when I listed the checkpointchange# and checkpoint_time columns of v$datafile_header, I found the difference in timestamps ranging 24 hrs -- which menat we had to apply 24 hrs of archiving to bring all dbfs to a consistent state (before it allowed us to open the db) -- so far so good, it worked that way.
My question is that, while I trigger a lvl0 RMAN backup at say 4PM on 27th July and it finishes on 4PM on 28th July (as I am directly pushing around 1 TB data to tapes) -- what is the consistency timestamp of this backup. In other words, is this backup available for a restore of 4PM 27th July? Or is it available only for a restore of 4PM 28th July and later ...?
Isn't it that RMAN works at block level and when I fire a backup it should give me all the dbf's of that timestamp..?
Appreciate your inputs/comments.

When taking a online backup with RMAN, the datafiles backup is always inconsistent because it needs the archived redo logs generated during the backup to be consistent: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14192/intro005.htm#sthref70.
A full online backup can only be used to restore the database to a point in time starting after backup end: if a backup starts at 4PM on 27th July and it finishes on 4PM on 28th July you can use it to restore the database to a point in time after 28-JUL 4PM.

I restored from iTunes backup but it goes back to 'welcome to your new iphone'

My iphone 5 was replaced today because of a faulty power button. I had done an iTunes backup this morning, choosing to backup iTunes purchases and the apps as well.
In order to restore the backup to my new phone I had to set it up as a new phone and update to 7.1.2. All good so far.
I then chose to restore from backup (dated today) and it all seemed fine until the restore was complete and the iphone restarted and I was taken back to the 'Welcome to Your New iPhone' screen. Thankfully my photos and contacts have come across but none of my iTunes library, emails or most of my apps. What I'd really like to retrieve are the notes I had in Notemaster...lots of important details about trip bookings, finances etc.
I suspect an incomplete/corrupt backup was made this morning as I think I'd used about 47gb on my phone and the backup file in my application support folder is 11.8gb (although I don't imagine that folder would include all the video & music from my iTunes library??). I thought I could go back to the backup I made in June but it looks like it was overwritten by the new backup I made today...is that right?
Can anyone please suggest a fix or am I going to have to set it up as a new phone in order to get past the 'welcome to your new iphone' screen. First I'd somehow have to back up all my photos and contacts or I'll probably lose them.
Actually, I've just downloaded iBackupBot and I can see all my notes in the backup I made this morning so they do still exist even though the app didn't download in the restore, in fact it looks like a lot of my user app files are there. What do I do now? My head hurts h e l p . . . p l e a s e

I don't think that you need to restore from the backup again. If you see nothing at all in the App Store. Try closing the app completely, reset your iPad and them try again.
In order to close apps in iOS 7, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Restore from tape speed check

Restore from tape : how we can find out out restore speed in MBs? and how to check if there are any bottlenecks/slow speed and what are things to adjust to increase its speed.

Hi DBA2008,
With rman the backup of only the data will be transfered to tape so an almost empty 2g datafile will be faster than a full 2g datafile.
To actually measure the speed you should time a backup to tape and with <list backup;> get information about the amount of data transfered.
Than time the restore this will give you an idea.
Depending on your hardware allocating more channels in the rman command can improve performance.
You could also check the backup system documentation for helpful information to measure/improve the speed.

HT4859 How do I restore from a backup after the initial setup?

My phone died and I got a new one from the store. I didn't remember what my account was and we started up the phone without my appleid. Now I'd like to restore from a previous backup. How can I do that?

Go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts.
Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.

HT4859 I forgot to click Restore from iCloud Backup on new Device.

I forgot to click Restore from iCloud Backup on new Device, and then signed in on the Cloud with the same Apple ID I used to create the Cloud on my old iPhone. Can i still access my CLoud backup for apps, photos, etc.?

You'll have to start over by going to Settings>General>Reset and tapping Erase All Content and Settings. Then go back through the setup screens again and this time choose Restore from iCloud backup (see image below). Note: your iCloud account and iCloud data will still be in your account and will be synced back to your device when you sign back in. You also may want to connect your device to your charger as restoring from backup can take some time to complete.

HT4859 how to restore from icloud backup

how can i restore from icloud backup....my manual back up in itunes keeps giving me a blank device w/factory apps

Restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial setup process. If you have any data on your iPod now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. You will then go through the setup screens as you did when the phone was new. When given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below). Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

HT1766 i got a new Iphone and I backed it up as Restore from ICloud backup and it's all old stuff I dont want on the phone, can I go back and redo the back up as a new phone set up

i got a new Iphone 5C and I backed it up as "Restore from ICloud" backup and it's all old stuff I dont want on the phone, can I go back and redo the back up as a new phone set up??

Go to Settings > General > Reset, then tap Erase All Content and Settings
then when you start again, set it up as a new phone

HT4859 I recently restored from iCloud backup,why weren't my pictures restored?

Just wondering why my photos weren't restored,when I restored my iPad from iCloud backup?

It's difficult to say whether it's stuck or not as the time to restore a backup can depend on many factors. You'll have to decide when you think it's just not continuing. You could try turning the phone off (hold the power button until you see the red off slider, then slide to turn off), then back on to see if that would get it going again.
When you're convinced it's just hung, you can go back to settings and tap Stop Restoring iPhone to stop the restore. You'll then have to try restoring it again (Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup). Be sure it's connected to your charger and wifi while it's restoring the backup.
You might also try the approach posted here by ezjules: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518589#19518589. This seems to have worked for some people who had trouble restoring their photos from an iCloud backup.

How do I restore from older backups on iCloud

How do I restore from older backups on iCloud?

Go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings (which will erase the phone), then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup. Sign into your iCloud account, agree to the terms and conditions and you will then be asked what backup you want to restore from. (Apple states that it maintains your three most recent backups.)
