Restore RMAN backup from tape

I have to restore the RMAN full backup from tape to new host to a previous date say March 1st. My target database RMAN retention period is 28 days, today is 11th May.
Is it possible to restore the obsolete database from tape backup to new host as of May 1st. If not possible, I would like to restore the available backup say as 15th April from tape to new host.
Can you please provide me the steps to restore the tape old backup to new host.
Thanks,
Mahi

Restoring RMAN backup from tape beyond retention policy ??

Hello Friends,
I just stuck in some basic finding. Need your help to resolve the questions.
How we can use RMAN backup to restore oracle database when the RMAN backup pushed to tape already and being a OLD backup ( before retention policy date).
Just to elaborate a more.. Say my retention policy is 3 days. I want to restore from a old backup like 30 days old.
So surely the requesting backup is behind retention date and has been pushed to tape.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.

Sinha.

Assuming the actual backup files still exist (the only thing actually deleted is the record of them in the catalog), you can make those files available and use the rman 'catalog' command to re-catalog them.

How to restore a Rman backup from Tape

Hi,
We need to restore the database backup taken through RMAN on 24-JUNE-2013 from tape as this backup is not currently available on disk.
Can you please help me on the following,
1) how i can check if the same backup on 24-JUNE-2013 is available on Tape.
2) If yes how i can restore to Disk.
Because we need to create a new Clone instance from the backup taken on 24-JUNE-2013.
We are having 12.1.3 Application on Exalogic and 11.2.0.3 Database on Exadata machine.
Our support is highly appreciated.

Restoring RMAN Backup from ASM RAC env to Non ASM standalone environment

Hi,
Can anyone please tell me how to restore database using RMAN in a Non ASM environment as my backup file with ASM RAC environment.
i was also looking for some documentation which provides clear explanation about RMAN backup and Restore in ASM and Non ASM environment.
Thanks

You can set the parameter db_file_name_convert in init.ora in you new database with [ID 47325.1]
or
you can set parameter "set newname" in your script rman. [ID 549972.1]
if you have one or two destinations of dbfiles in ASM I seggest to you set parameter db_file_name_convert in init.
example:
db_file_name_convert=('+DGDATA','/u01/oradata/');
remenber you need set log_file_name_convert to.
log_file_name_convert=('+DGREDO','/u01/redo/');
if you use "set newname" commands you need set this lines in your script rman.
set newname for datafile 1 to '/u01/oradata/system01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 2 to '/u01/oradata/undotbs01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 3 to '/u01/oradata/sysaux01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 4 to '/u01/oradata/users01.dbf';
and every datafiles you need set!

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.

Rman Backup in Tape - Restore

Hi All,
This's my scenario.
I am using oracle 10gR2 on solaris 10. I configured Rman for my database. I ran the backup command on monday and again tuesday and again today also.
All backups are stored in tape not disk. now I have a problem, so I want to restore the Monday backup from tape.
How to tell these to Rman. If I simply mentioned the restore command, hope Rman will restore the latest backup. But I want to restore the Monday Backup.
Could you anyone help me on this..
Many Thanks
Senthil

when ever you are recovering the database to certain time,certain scn then it is a incomplete recovery only.
after completing the recovery by specifying until time or until SCN oracle will not allow you to open the database.
It will ask you to open the database in resetlog mode.
The step which admin given is correct one but after that you have to open the db in resetlog mode

RMAN recovery from tape and disk?

Hey Guys,
Here is my scenario: -
I have Oracle 10g and I am using RMAN to backup to disk and then I use Networker to backup on tapes from disk (retention is set to 30 days on tapes). On RMAN - my retention policy is set to recovery window of 5 days after which it deletes the obsolete backup from disk and updates the control file.
My Questions:
1. If I have to recover any datafile or tablespace 20 days ago how can I restore it on Production. Since I am also backing up control files on tapes but my current control file will not have 20 days old information. Is there any way that I can restore my old backup?
2.How can I test my tape backup which is older than 5 days. In other words how can I restore my database from tape on another server/
Please suggest.

If you need to restore the whole database to a point in time that is 20 days old, you "only" need:
1. to identify the right control file backup
2. restore this control file backup with Networker
3. start the instance in mount mode
4. list required datafiles and archived redo logs backup sets listed in this control file with LIST BACKUP
5. restore these backup sets with Networker
6. restore and recover database with RMAN with the right SET UNTIL clause.
If you need to restore only 1 tablespace, that's Tablespace Point In Time Recovery (TSPITR) and is another story.
I don't think you can only restore 1 datafile that is 20 days old and leave other datafiles up-to-date (unless there is only 1 datafile in the tablespace and in this case this is TSPITR).

Restore RMAN Backup

Dear All,
I am practicing Oracle Restore scenarios on my Oracle 9i database. Once I complete my tests in Oracle 9i I will move up to 10g and then finally to 11g.
Following is my recovery scenario:
1) I did NOT configure Recovery Catalog
2) I would like to restore my databse from a 15 days old backup
3) control_file_record_keep_time is set to 7 days.
4) Backups are on tape.
Can you guys please shed some light on how to I proceed?
- P

In oracle 9i , check , which situation you can perform complete recovery and in which situations you have to select incomplete recovery.

Restoring Rman backup on New Host with different directory structure

Hi,
I have a following scenario to clone the database.
1. clone the database on new server
2. source is non - ASM and target is ASM
3. On source incremental level 0 backup taken on disk connecting to catalog, the backup is moved to target host to different directory structure
4. source is running on 32-bit Linux two node Rac and Target is running on 64-bit Linux two node Rac
I did the following steps and getting below error:
1. I copied incremental Level 0 backup to target server(where we need to build new db) to different directory structure
2. On target i created pfile and build the instance, as dbf file are in multiple locations in source i put following tow parameters in init.ora of target database
*.db_file_name_convert =(/u02/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA2/udev/datafile),(/u03/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile),(/u12/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile,),(/u99/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile),(/u09/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile),(/u14/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile),(/u07/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile),(/u06/oradata/prod/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile'),(/u05/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile)
*.log_file_name_convert =("/u99/oradata/app1p/","+QADATA2/udev/onlinelog/")
3. connected to rman -->> started db in nomount -->> restored the controlfile --> cataloged the backup piece and then i am trying to restore
All the above steps i did using the Doc id *How To Restore Rman Backups On A Different Node When The Directory Structures Are Different [ID 419137.1]*
script i am using is :

Hi,
you are restoreing PC4 database on system QC4.
This requires a netbackup permission configuration to allow client QC4 to access the backup from system PC4.
