Restore journalreceiver from tape

Hello,
the journal receivers are saved and deleted every hour. During a recovery test we want to restore the journal receivers. Now we have lots of sequence numbers to restore. The RSTOBJ restores unfortunately only one library one time.
How can we restore the complete tape?
Tanks.
Regards
Winfried Bayer

Hi Winfried,
tja, that is one of the disadvantages of the hourly backup ;-(
You will have to restore each sequence number with RSTOBJ and then overwrite the partial receivers.
This should work with "a nice" CL program in a loop.
We could support you in this and the APYJRNCHG or whatever is following to that ...

Restore NDS from Tape

I need to restore NDS from tape.
There is not NDS backup (Arcserve 9.01).
Can it be restored from files ?

Ah, well, maybe with SBS it is an option (no idea, never used that
product) and if it's a single-server tree you at least shouldn't be
corrupting your tree by doing so but the hardest part will be your backup.
If it does that, go for it but if not you'll need to recreate the tree or
find another backup. If you ever ran `dsrepair -rc` you may have a backup
in sys:/system/dsr_dib as I recall that can be restored by Novell.
Good luck.

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.

Database Restore & Recovery from tape

Hi Fellows
I'm about to attempt a recovery from backup tape to a test server, as a 'tape recovery' test. The files I've marked for recovery include (directories including all sub-tree);
Datafiles directory
$ORACLE_HOME/sid/ directory where the sid is the database sid
Control Files
adump, Bdump, cdump and udump directories
Archivelogs directory
Flashrecovery area directory
Redo logs directory
initfile and spfile
With these files recovered (from one point in time), and the dbconsole shut down prior to restore (for the sid) should the database be able to startup afterwards? Is there any other actions I should make? Thanks, David

Thanks for your responses Alok and Santosh
I'm pretty sure the files I have selected should be able to recover the database. The recovery, I think is rightly said, can only be done within Oracle. I'll look into a test of RMAN (I know it should be better) recovery once I've tested this as a 'straight from tape' recovery.
Thanks again, David
Alok and Santosh
I thought I'd put this in as 'aftermath' of the attempted recovery;
I had the server team restore the files stated (basically everything - redo, archivelogs, datafile, controlfiles, init and sp files, even the dump files) - and repalced them into directories made the same as the other server. When I started it, I was able to go into a 'Oracle Suggested' full database recovery, which was successful. I then checked the expdp dump files, 1 taken at the same time of backup as rman - and one directly after the restore), and compared rows - exactly the same. So appears to have worked.
Many thanks, David

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:

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 backupsets from tape.

Hi,
We are on a 2 node RAC cluster, ASM. We run backups through rman.
Scenerio:
Rman backup runs and create backupsets in ASM diskgroup. We again run a tape backup to backup the backupsets to tape and delete the backupset from disk.
My question:
How can i restore the backupsets back to disk, if i have to restore a database?
I use the following to backup the backupsets to tape:
backup backupset completed before 'sysdate-2' delete input
But i'm not sure of what command to use to restore the backupsets back from tape to disk if i need to restore the database? Any help appriciated.
Thanks
Karthik

Hi,
You are keeping latest backups on disk and in case of any Disk failure, when you run RESTORE/RECOVER it will use the backups from disk.
In case if RMAN need more files then automatically restores needed archived logs from tape to disk during recovery.
Please keep backups in a separate ASM diskgroup, which should not contain active database files such as datafiles, control files, and online redo logs.

Restore FRA from tape backup

I have got a 2 node RAC cluster.
I am running RMAN backup connecting to one of the nodes and then running RMAN backups to FRA.
Since I cannot backup ASM to tapes just like a normal file system, I have configured the MML to backup the FRA to tapes using "backup recovery area" command.
The FRA backup to tapes is successful.
Now if ever I need to restore / recover the database, how do I restore my backups from tape.
ie: I dont see a command to say -> restore recovery area , which will restore the backups to FRA.Or is there a way ?
If it cannot restore , then what is the point of backing up the FRA to tapes using the above command.
Any thoughts ?
AU

Just try to restore database/tablespace/datafile using usual RMAN commands: RMAN will check if FRA is used and check if related backup is on disk or on tape. If backup is on tape, RMAN will read it using Media Manager Layer (MML) in a transparent way.

FOR EXPERTS!! How to restore controlfile from tape using TSM??

Hi ,
I have a backup of my database (controlfiles, datafiles and archives) on tapes (TSM).
I'm doing some tests and i delete all my controlfiles.
Now i'm trying to restore the control file using the following:
RMAN>set DBID=1489198124;
RMAN>run{
allocate channel t1 device type sbt_tape parms 'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpo_capdb15p.opt)';

RMAN-06172: no autobackup found or specified handle is not a valid copy or piece
The autobackup is OFF now (i will put this ON later and become a production enviroment).
How can i get the controlfile backup from tape. I have this backup on tape made by RMAN using TIVOLI STORAGE MANAGER.
Tks,
Paulo.

This is the command:
run {
allocate channel t1 device type sbt_tape parms 'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpo_capdb15p.opt)';
backup current controlfile;
This is my backups!!!

RMAN error when restoring controlfile from tape

Hi,
We have a Production database with instance name PROD.
We use Symantec Netbackup software to backup this database to tape library.
We want to test some recovery scenarios on a test server. So we want to restore the production backups from Tape to this test server.
We did the following:
Cloned the ORACLE Home to the Test Server.
Changed the db_name parameter to PROD and also set ORACLE_SID to PROD.
then we connected to RMAN and ran the following command to restore the control files:

Problem when restoring Backup from Tape...

Hi
I am getting the following error when I am trying to restore a backup from Tape on AIX system:
BR0279W Return code from 'LANG+C cd /oracle/RSD/sapbackup && LANG=C cpio -iuvB .tape.hdr0 < /dev/rmt0': 0
BR0359W Restore of /oracle/RSD/sapbackup/.tape.hdr0 from /dev/rmt0 failed due to previous errors
BR0218W Checking label on volume in device /dev/rmt0 failed
BR0236I Perfhaps volume initialization with option '-i force' required
I have initialized the tape before backup to label RSDB05 which I used while taking the backup.
When I initialized the tape as mentioned above with '-i force' then while restoring there is problem of timestamp.
How to restore the backup from tape now.
Regards
Chin2

Dear Ahamad,
In this command " brrestore -b xxxx.anf -m all -p /oracle/TRG/102_64/dbs/initSRC.sap " you are calling parameter file of source system initSRC.sap in which system is checking parameter/option 'compress_dir'. Please check if its same. Why you have replaced the SSID with TSID its not required at all.
Please follow these steps....
Place xxxxx.anf file in backup directory. check for parameters in initSID.sap file of TRG system. It should be the same as of SRC system.
Try again and post result if you are getting any error.

Need immediately script for Restore Datafiles from TAPE Please.

Hi All,
Could you please provide me the script to restore 10 datafiles using RMAN which are stored on tape.

Hi!
1. Restore the whole database:
run {
allocate channel t1 type "sbt_tape" parms 'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/path/to/your/client/tdpo_file)';
restore database;
release channel t1;
2. Restore a tablespace: (In the Example the USERS tablespace will be restored)
run {
allocate channel t1 type "sbt_tape" parms 'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/path/to/your/client/tdpo_file)';
restore tablespace users;
release channel t1;
3. Restore a datafile: (In the example teh datafile number 5 will be restored)
run {
allocate channel t1 type "sbt_tape" parms 'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/path/to/your/client/tdpo_file)';
restore datafile 5;
release channel t1;
In the above examples:
- you need to change the location of your TDPO config file.
- the database/tablespace/datafile will be only restored and not will be recovered

Restoring Database from tape to another server

Hi
What are the environment changes or other related changes that need to be made if we have to restore an oracle database to another server.
Like, we have one Oracle database on linux server XYZ and it is backed up to Tape using RMAN. And we need to restore the same database to server ABC.Do we need to modify any environment variables and such so that restore is done ? Or does it work straight away in this different server too ?

Hello,
Please have a look into the document 372996.1 MOS.
and the thread: http://www.dbasupport.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56236
Good luck!

Restoring Database to ASM from tape

We're restoring a database from tape using Oracle 10.2.0.5. We explcitely specify the location for every single file with SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE X. The files that get restored don't match the NEWNAME format we set it to even though the log says it restored the file to that name. I don't know what's occuring under the hood of ASM, but it appears OMF is coming into play and generating names for the files. it's becoming a problem because when we restart the restore (which occurs often due to size of the database, length of time it takes, and drives going down) we start all over because RMAN doesn't know of the existing files. This doesn't seem to be normal behavior, and I know it's not like this during file based restores.
Does anyone know what's going on within ASM itself? It appears to be normal behavior when restoring to ASM and the names are later set appropriately after the SWITCH DATAFILE ALL. That's what I think would happen. It's currently a problem restarting restores.
Any insight or help is appreciated. Thank you

then if you restore database from tape/disk, it will place all the datafiles as '+data/db_unique_name/datafiles';
