Restore old rman backup after changing dbid?
Hi,
I backed up database using rman. then i changed dbid for that databases. can i restore backup what i backed up before changing DBID?
No.
When you change the DBID for a database, it becomes a different database. All the datafiles are stamped with the new DBID.
And you cannot select a DBID value either, so you cannot choose to change the DBID back to the previous value.
A RESTORE verifies that it is restoring to the same database -- it uses the DBID to verify. Since the DBIDs for the Backup and the now-present database do not match, a RESTORE cannot be attempted.
You can remove the database with the changed DBID and do a complete RESTORE from the backup.

Database restore from old rman backup
Hi Friends,
My database version is oracle 10.2.0 O/s : Windows
I have a production database of an outlet. Yesterday night 11pm they have done some wrong transactions and whole stock is showing wrong.
They have taken a export backup at 9.30 pm and latest archives are there.
We have a rman backup on April-30,2008. when I am trying to restore from the old rman backup the controlfile I am unable to do it.
Can any one of you help me out.
thankyou
satyaHi,
I have tried installing in a seperate system and restore the rman backup, as I do not have the controlfile I have taken a standby controlfile and started restoring the rman backup as the old rman backup dbid is different with the current dbid and giving me following error:

Hi all,
i got a scenerion where i need to check whether rman back is valid or not.
i have y server where production db resides and storage team kept the 7 days old rman backup in the same production server and my resposibility is to reatore the rman backup with new database name in the same server and to query the new db to cross verify that rman backup is valid or not.
oracle version : 9.2.0.4.0
os : windows
appreciated the inputs.
Thanks
PrakashCan you solve your problem?
Now I explain this for you.Consider we have database which name is "w".We want craete new database (w1) using backup of w in same machine.Also backup of database have located in D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\flash_recovery_area\W.
First we have to create service and some directories for new W1,aslo restore spfile and controlfile as

Anyway to restore from iCloud backup after initial setup?
I purchased a new 5s today - my old 4s was backed up to iCloud - the store moved my contacts but I guess they skipped the cloud restore part so I don't have any of my apps - is there anyway to restore from cloud backup after initial setup? I think I can reset it but not sure how to do it and I'm afraid of what it will delete if I reset - please help - I could reload my apps but it won't keep my data right? Thanks
You should check to make sure that your contacts/information is in your iCloud by logging into iCloud.com. You can also plug your device into iTunes and check when the most recent iCloud backup was before restoring from it.
If your information is there, then you can go through the activation process again pretty easily by going into Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
Then you can just restore from your iCloud backup. -
Restoring a RMAN backup to a new database instance
Hi Mates,
I have an issue with restoring a RMAN backup that i have with me to a new database instance. What i have with me are:
1. Backup of SPFile. (O1_MF_NCNNF_CTLFILE_BU_92DVGYO2_.BKP)
2. Backup of Control file (O1_MF_NNSNF_SPFILE_BU_92DVGW9H_.BKP)
3. Full database backup (O1_MF_NNSNF_FULLPROD_BU_92DVGW9H_.BKP)
I have received these files from a customer environment and I need to restore these to a new database instance in a local machine. I have given a attempt as follows (in Oracle 10g):
1, Created a new database instance (Test75) using Oracle Database Configuration Assistant
2. SET ORACLE_SID = Test75
3. Connected to this instance using RMAN
4. Tried to restore the SPFILE from the received BKP file.
I am getting errors and cannot proceed. I am not sure whether I am executing the correct steps. Please help me out by telling me how should I achieve this.
Thank you.1. Backup of SPFile. (O1_MF_NCNNF_CTLFILE_BU_92DVGYO2_.BKP)
2. Backup of Control file (O1_MF_NNSNF_SPFILE_BU_92DVGW9H_.BKP)
The first backuppiece looks like a ControlFile and the second one looks like an SPFILE'
>I am getting errors and cannot proceed
What is the error ? (I assume that you tried to restore the SPFILE from O1_MF_NNSNF_SPFILE_BU_92DVGW9H_.BKP
Note that you also have to SET DBID before you restore the controlfile

Is it possible to restore from a backup after initial setup on my iPad air?
is it possible to restore from a backup after initial setup on my iPad air?
You don't even have to do to an erase all content and settings.
Just connect the iPad to iTunes. Once it appears on the left, right click on it and select restore from backup. It's that easy. -
I attempted to update to iOS 8 and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode, and iTunes will only let me restore to factory settings. My question: Can I restore from iTunes backup after restoring to factory settings?
Hi, kformagg
I would say yes. I once had the same problem (iPhone 5, IOS 7) and first restored to factory settings and after that from iCloud backup.
It worked very well. -

After inserting the original DVD I installed OSX and after reboot I had a working computer.
There was no opportunity to restore the TM backup. however when I rebooted from the
DVD again I saw that possibility from a menu of the install utility.
I ran through the restore over night (8 hours) and when I woke up, I had my computer back!
Thanks for helping me out.

wary about upgrading my wife's 3gs from ios4 to ios6. will the data associated with an app be lost or will it be restored from the backup after the upgrade completes. There is no way to export, email or even print the data contained in the app so I am concerned
If the backup and restore takes place properly, you shouldn't have any issue as millions of people have done an update from iOS 4.

How to restore using increment backup after full backup restore in RMAN?
Hi All,
We have a files of full backup of database after turning on the Archive log.
And after that, daily incremental backup is taken.
Now, i want to restore the the database into a new machine using both files of full and incremental backups. Can anybody give me script for restore of full backup and after that restore of incremental backup?
Thanks,
Praveen.Praveen,
>>
In my case, i have 2 sets of backups. One is full backup and other is incremental backup. In order to keep the restored database upto date, i need to restore the full backup and then restore incremental backup. Now, i got any idea how to restore using full backup. My doubt is how to update the restored database with incremental backup also?
>>
Restore always looks for level 0 backup, not the incremental backups.
Incremental backups comes in picture during recovery.
During Recovery, Oracle looks for incremental backups, if exists, it will do the recovery with the incremental backups, if no incremental backups available, then, it will look for archived logs.
Therefore, incremental backups never used during restore, they are used only during the recovery.

Duplicate an old RMAN backup set on Oracle 9.2.0.8 with no catalog
Version: 9.2.0.8. We don't use an RMAN catalog
Scenario: I need to duplicate a database to the same server with a different name so I can recover some old data. The restored backup set is about 20 days old
and my RMAN retention is 1 day.

I presume this is happening because the target database has a retention of one day and is unaware of this rman backup that is about 20 days old.
If this is true, is there a way of telling the target database about this old backup set that I now want to duplicate?
From 10g onwards you can catalog a backup piece which might be the fix for this??
I've got round the problem by restoring the database to a different server, but would still like to know if the above is possible.
Can anyone offer any suggestions? thanks.Hi C3PO,

Can anyone offer any suggestions?Another option would be setup a catalog and change the retention policy to 30 days and add extra diskspace.

Hi,
By using
when we do full database recovery or when we open database using alter database open resetlogs;
does we need to take again fresh backup or old back will work further also.After performing a full database recovery it would be better to take a fresh backup, although you can reset the incarnation after opening the database with RESETLOGS

Restore an RMAN backup to a new db instance name.
I have a old copy of an RMAN backup of a production database from 2 months ago. I want to restore it to a new instance name. The backup no longer shows in the RMAN backup listing from the control file of the current production system.
The backup I have does have the control file as well as the other backup pieces, Is there a procedure to restore this to a new instance since the backup is no longer in the current production control file?
I have used the duplicate command of RMAN and have successfully restored databases to a new instance name by using the newname option.
But the backups were always in the control file.
Can this be done? If so, how?You need to restore the controlfile first and copy it into all locations where init.ora specify them. then startup mount, and 'rman / target' will give you access to the old contents of the controlfile at that time.. If the rest of the back is on tape, you need to restore the rman backupset first to disk on same location specified in the backupsets paths. same for the archivelogs.
Then you can decide to go for a duplicate database to target <newname> or a restore DB (must have the same name). but was the DB a cold backup ? then remember than Rman does not takes the redo logs, so that your shutdown before must be clean (shutdown immediate at most). If it is an hot you may need need to dump the arc and possible do a recover manual (case you forgot to put the arcchives or the archives names is not the same in the init.ora than original for you include the db name in it).
In that case the archive logs may be renamed to what ever is in the init.ora. and there are many others possbilities. you did not specified enough data on the backup -
How to restore a TM backup after HDD replacement?
Hi everybody,
The HDD in my Macbook pro failed, and I am replacing it
MBP July 2011; HDD 500GB 7200 rpm; Mountain Lion.
I have recent Time Machine backups. Now what´s the proper way to restore the backup.
Should I boot up with the not yet formatted new HD and with the TM disk connected
using some key combo?
Or should I boot from the Mountain Lion Install CD and then be able to
format and select the backup drive?
Thanks for reading!
RobThanks Eric,
After inserting the original DVD I installed OSX and after reboot I had a working computer.
There was no opportunity to restore the TM backup. however when I rebooted from the
DVD again I saw that possibility from a menu of the install utility.
I ran through the restore over night (8 hours) and when I woke up, I had my computer back!
Thanks for helping me out.
Cheers, Rob -
Restore Time Machine backup after hard drive crash
My hard drive on the mac book crashed, so I replaced it. Now I need to get my time machine back up on the new drive. I've already started using the computer and reinstalled lion, so I'm not getting the original "backup" screen. How do I find my old time machine backups?
Your best bet is to do a full restore from your backups. See #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
