Restore hot online backup without redolog file

Dear
I had taken a online backup (begin / end tablespace) of all datafiles. Before end backup I had taken backup of current controlfile with O/S command.
Now, I want to restore this backup.
I have only :
datafiles (taken with begin / end backup)
controlfile (taken during begin / end backup)
Archive Log (from backup to up till now)
What steps I have to take for recovery with missing redolog files.
regards;

Thanks dears its worked

  • Oracle Restore from Online backup without any archive logs

    Hi,
    May be a dumb question. If I have a good online backup (say it took 2 hours to do that. And there is database activity while backup is going on), and lost all the archive logs happened after the online backup, is it possible at all to do the restore using that backup? complete or incomplete? and bring back the database to normal operation mode? Some details on this.
    Thanks.

    Let us see the reasoning behind this.
    Database:WORLDDB
    WORLDDB configuration:-
    TBSP_WDB
    ->TBSP_WDB_01.dbf
    ->TBSP_WDB_02.dbf
    SYSTEM
    ->SYSTEM.dbf
    USERS
    and so on for the tablespaces.
    CASE 1:-
    User managed backup.
    You issue
    ALTER TABLESPACE TBSP_WDB BEGIN BACKUP;
    DB keeps working all transactions are recorded in the redo stream, the scn information is not updated in the file header.
    Also note that the other tablespaces were been continuously worked on hence their scn numbers are a moving target.
    http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96572/osbackups.htm#10012
    So if you begin tablespace TBSP_WDB backup at time t1 and by the time you are done with your backups you are at time t2, you will need all of the archive log's between time t1 and t2.
    CASE 2:-
    If we do with rman, rman takes care of the file header update information and goes on its merry way, those details are hidden from the end user. If one of the tablespace is fractured, updated while backups are going on , rman knows about it and will re-read the affected blocks in question.
    My thinking would be that you might need archive logs, unless it is a cold backup, with switch logfiles in between.
    If you do hot backups you need archivelogs is my thought. The number of archivelogs required will be decreased considerably through rman.
    http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96566/rcmconc1.htm#458821
    Summary:-
    Either way archivelogs are needed.

  • Restoring  whole db Online backup with redologs backup

    Dear all,
    I am planning to restore a whole DB online + redo logs backup, i have few doubts . please confirm..
    On Step 8, Restore and apply archivelog files ...
    First sequence number (first_seq) ..  (eg) 7276  
    Last sequence number (last_seq) ..  (eg) 7278
    we probably only have to mention the last_seq.... Now question is , is this the last archive created when the backup finished...(ie 7278) and in  the backup log, it was mentioned that  the Next archivelog is 7279...
    another question , when we are restoring this backup next day , can we apply archives created after 7278 to achive DB point in time..
    Thanks & regards
    Adnan

    Hi
    U have to recover the databse using the archive files after the backup was taken.
    The archive files should be copied from the source system to the target but make sure that u rename those archive files as acceptable to the target system ie log_archive_format parameter of the target system. ie sid should be there in the name of the archive files.
    One more thing if u wish to keep the target DB in sync with the source DB then u would need to apply all the archive files generated after the online backup was taken.
    Make sure to open the database in resetlogs mode
    In short the steps wud be as follows.
    1. Issue the following in  ur source system
    alter database backup controlfile to trace ; .
    2.Modify the .trc file  as below created under usertrace directory  which generally shud be /oracle/SID/saptrace/usertrace
    a. CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE "Target_SID" NORESETLOGS  ARCHIVELOG
    b.The directory structures of the redo log and datafiles as per the directory structure available in ur target system.
    c.Remove all other lines from the file ur file should end with like character set ...;
    d. Save the file as something.sql and copy it to the target system.
    3. Restore the online backup on the target system ...don't need to restore the redo log files.
        Also copy the archive file from the source system to the target system and rename them as per target system.
    4. In the target system connect as sysdba
    SQL> startup nomount
    SQL> @something.sql
    It wud say control file created and the DB will be mounted .
    5. Now issue the command
    Recover database using backup controlfile;
    Apply the archives when done issue the following
    alter database open resetlogs;

  • Restore Procedure - online backup

    Dear all,
    Our BI QA system got crashed and hence we need to restore the SAP on
    the same machine , we have online backup.
    Can any advise on the restore & recovery methods with the online backup.
    Kindly provide Restore Steps .
    Kindly suggest
    Thanks & Regards,

    1: stop the database and SAP services running under <sidadm> and <orasid> users.
    2: Empty your sapdatas
         u2022 cd /oracle/<SID>
         u2022 rm u2013r sapdata*
    3:  Delete control files from all of its three locations (whereever presents)
         u2022 cd /oracle/<SID>/cntrl
         u2022 rm *.dbf
    4: confirm the name and presence of online backup logfile ( *.anf ) in sapbackup dir.
       and same for arch<SID>.log in saparch dir.
    5: Start restore on targetsystem in the foreground with:
         u2022     su u2013 ora<sid>
         u2022     for normal restore: brrestore -r init<source sid>.utl -b <backupfile> -m full u2013c
       or Start restore in the background with:
         u2022     as root
         u2022     at now
              su u2013 ora<sid> -c u201Cbrrestore -r init<source sid>.utl -b <backupfile>-m full u2013c forceu201D
              ^D
    6: Once restore finishes, do not open the database. Start the database in mount state and apply the redologs till the
    time you want the recovery of database or else
      you must recover the database till the end time of databse backup as you have online backup only with you.
    ==> for end time of backup, check the *.anf file.
    before starting recovery, make sure archive logs are available with you.
    Syntax
    sqlplus> recover database using backup controlfile until cancel;
    or
    sqlplus> recover database until time '2010-03-02:10:00:00' using backup controlfile;
    First check if we can stop and start the system without problems.
    Sqlplus> shutdown immediate
    Sqlplus> startup
    Also check the alert_SID.log for any errors.
    7: once database recovery finishes, you may open the database and start SAP applications.
    Cheers !!!

  • DSEE 7 online backup without password

    According to [Chapter 8 Directory Server Backup and Restore|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-4809/bcaim?l=en&a=view]
    You can back up directory data while the server is running by using the command dsconf backup command.
    dsconf backup asks for a password. This is not good for cron job backup.
    # dsadm backup /ldap_instance /tmp/backup
    The instance must be stopped.
    dsadm export, also requires offline (ldif export)
    I managed to do online backup from dscc console but not from command line.
    Is there any other way to take online backups (while server is running) without password?
    Best regards,
    Giannis

    Hi Giannis,
    if you only want to create database backups and not ldif exports, you even do not need a read-all user. I was able to run dsconf backup after adding the following user / acis :
    dn: cn=backupuser,cn=config
    changetype: add
    cn: backupuser
    objectclass: top
    objectclass: person
    sn: Backup User
    description: custom service user for generating backups
    userpassword: <enter-password-here>
    dn:
    changetype: modify
    add: aci
    aci: (targetattr = "*") (target = "ldap:///cn=backup,cn=tasks,cn=config") (version 3.0; acl "Allow rsca access for user backupuser on cn=backup,cn=tasks,cn=config"; allow(read,search,compare,add) userdn = "ldap:///cn=backupuser,cn=config"; )
    aci: (targetattr = "objectclass || nsslapd-config-magic") (target = "ldap:///cn=config") (targetscope = "base") (version 3.0; acl "Allow rsc access for user backupuser"; allow(read,search,compare) userdn="ldap:///cn=backupuser,cn=config"; )I do not have anonymous read access enabled and I cross checked with a dsconf backup run as directory manager, the files were identical.
    If you also want to do ldif exports or database restores, the acis need to be adapted accordingly. Probably I will have a try and post my results later on.
    Regards,
    Jakob

  • How to restore time machine backup without disturbing already installed app

    Hi!
    My school recently reconfigured/reformatted my macbook and install the school image. Now it is filled with applications that the school help us installed. Now how do i restore the backup that my time machine backups last time? Migration assistant or what? I did not change my mac, it is just that my hard disk got reconfigured. How do i restore backup without disturbing the apps my school installs?
    Please help thanks!

    I'm not sure what you mean by that. Is your user account still there?
    If not, and if you have either Time Machine backups or a "clone" as backups, yes, use Migration Assistant. See [Using Migration Assistant|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/Migrate.html]. Note that you must be logged-on with a user account that's named differently from any of the accounts you want to transfer, or else be prepared to rename the duplicate.
    If your backups aren't either Time Machine backups or a "clone," you'll have to drag and drop or restore using the app that made them.

    in my other systems with oracle 9.2. i find the psaptemp in the protocol from online-backup. is this new with oracle 10... ?? how can i create the tablespace psaptemp ?
    Thanks !

    most probably PSAPTEMP is now temporary locally managed. If this is the case, it is not backed up with brbackup and you must create it's datafile. Check in the backup controlfile to know how to create them:
    sqlplus / as sysdba
    ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE AS '/oracle/SMS/CONTROLFILE_TRACE.txt' reuse;
    exit
    then, add the temp datafile such as :
    ALTER TABLESPACE PSAPTEMP ADD TEMPFILE '/oracle/SMS/sapdata1/TEMP_1/TEMP.DATA1' SIZE 20704M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 67108864  MAXSIZE 24000M;
    good luck

  • How to restore a bookmarks backup without having errors?

    I have backupped my bookmarks using Firefox's functionality to do it automatically and saved the file to an external HD before I was making a clean installation of Windows, which means all my files were removed.
    Later on, after re-installing Firefox, I tried to use the backup I had so I can have all my bookmarks once again, but when I try to look for that file, it seems it has the wrong format (a regular "File" instead of JSON or HTML, not sure which one of them should it be). So I tried to change it to "*.JSON" and it still didn't shoe up in the dialog box. So I tried "*.HTML", which DOES show up but everytime I try to import it, it actually does nothing.
    I really need this file since it contains many sites that I need.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Can I restore Older OS Backup (Umbrella Icon) Files on iDisc with TimeMach?

    Here is my horror story ... my old G4 Laptop Hard Drive crashed. (It's not that bad ... cause my wife was forced to allow me to buy this new iMac.)
    I faithfully backed up using the old backup on the older OS that had the umbrella icon. Problem is, we don't have another Mac with that particular program.
    QUESTION: Is is possible to restore that information on my iDisc to my new iMac?

    Click here and use the software to restore it. The Backup service included with MobileMe and Time Machine are separate products.

  • I was just wondering if there was a way for me to restore from iCloud backup without restoring the device itself again.

    I had restored my iPod touch 4th generation this morning and accidently hit set up as new device. Is there a way where I can take everything from iCloud and put it back on my device without restoring again? Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Back ups can only be used to restore the phone as a whole, you cannot selectively restore from a back up.

  • When restoring my iphone I'm getting both my husbands and my contacts loaded onto my phone, and then into my my Yahoo contacts.  How do I restore to a backup without getting his contacts?

    I just got my new 4s phone, backed up my old phone, and restored my new phone after my husband set it up to try to get his contacts off my new phone.  We share an Itunes account, and now I have his contacts plus my contacts on my phone.  His contacts have also now synced to my Yahoo account.  I still have the old phone with just my contacts on it.  How do I get just my contacts on my new phone, and back in my Yahoo account?

    You can't selectively restore items from an iPhone backup in iTunes.
    If you share an iTunes account and you have it set up to sync your contacts then it will sync all the contacts.
    Are you on a Mac and do you use Yahoo or the address book to store your contacts?
