Restore to new host from tape, can't find autobackups

Thankfully this is just a test, but I'm having trouble restoring a cold backup from a production host to a test/dev host. I tried the following:

Do I need to pass in the source host name when configuring the channel? So instead of
send 'NB_ORA_SERV=pobackup01, NB_ORA_POLICY=jdeoracle, NB_ORA_SCHED=hotfull';
i would need,
send 'NB_ORA_SERV=pobackup01, NB_ORA_CLIENT=newhost, NB_ORA_POLICY=jdeoracle, NB_ORA_SCHED=hotfull';
??

Ok, problem solved. Here's the complete process for recovering a non-archivelog mode data base to a new host from a cold backup from veritas 6.5 tape library.
I used the "until time 'SYSDATE-5'" option because the cold backup was taken 5 days ago, and while rman will look back up to 7 days, it was taking forever to search for the autobackup. This let it start searching on the day the backup was made. The original problem I was having was due to the fact that the backup was taken from one host and the restore was going to another and I wasn't sending the old host name as the NB_ORA_CLIENT parameter. So it was searching backups from the new host for the data.

  • Restore to new host from tape

    Hello!

    Hello
    Id like to restore a backup from tape to another host
    But i am having doubts regarding the restore script, ive done a channel for maintenance with success, so i think netbackup is okey installed.
    Now i want to restore a backup to the new host, witch has been pre-configured with same catalogues, and oracle binaries.
    Before this script i will manually restore spfile and put the database in nomount, and set DBID
    run
    ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch0 type 'SBT_TAPE';
    ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch1 type 'SBT_TAPE';
    RESTORE controlfile from autobackup;
    ALTER DATABASE mount;
    RESTORE database;
    RECOVER database;
    ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
    RELEASE CHANNEL ch0;
    RELEASE CHANNEL ch1;
    }When i enter this script, i guess netbackup wont allow me to come and claim a backup from someone else, so i have configured netbackup master server to cllow restore to alternate host, and i have configured this new host to trick netbackup that he is the old one (NB_ORA_CLIENT), but im having doubts about the parms parameter in rman, i think i need to define the policy somewhere, but i dont know where. Have any of you completet a similiar task once, then maybe u can shed light on me.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Have you tried the restore? If yes and any errors received, post them to get the help.
    Some information is required to finalize the script.
    Up to what time you want to restore and recover? depending on it, you have to use "set the until time " clause.
    you are trying to restore control file from backup, so "RECOVER database" will not work. have to use "recover database using backup control file until scn/until time '<time>'/until scn". To know about all the options, refer manuals, metalink, etc.
    in the env params, I guess policy is not required.
    example script:
    run
    set until time "to_date('10-apr-2010 10:00:00','DD-mon-YYYY hh24:mi:ss')" ;
    ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch0 TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' PARMS 'ENV=(NB_ORA_SERV=master_serv, NB_ORA_CLIENT=client_where_backup_was_taken)';
    ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch1 TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' PARMS 'ENV=(NB_ORA_SERV=see above, NB_ORA_CLIENT=see above)';
    RESTORE controlfile from autobackup;
    ALTER DATABASE mount;
    RESTORE database;
    restore archive log from seq <start number> until seq <end seq> ;
    RECOVER database using backup control file;
    ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
    RELEASE CHANNEL ch0;
    RELEASE CHANNEL ch1;
    The archive logs required for recovery can be identified from your source database v$archived_log based on the recove until time.
    Thanks,
    SivaOk, i didnt think about that, i guess what i want to do is using backup controlfile until cancel. Wont he go into the tape and find the needed redo logs himself, i did not know that i needed to restore them to my disk before?

    I have not tried that...I will look up the process so that I can do it correctly (and still transfer all of my files, contacts, etc).  Any suggestions?  What is the advantage of restoring as a new device..is this more akin to a complete wipe of a hard drive?

    If you restore from your last backup, it will replace what you now have on your phone. If you set it up as new, you will have a phone just out of the box without any of your data on it. You can download any apps again. You can sync your music through iTunes.

    You password: You have set it! It might be your passcode or you mioght have set it accidentally, so test all of the passwords you normally use. If you cannot get the password you backup is lost, but you can still sync your iTunes content.

  • Restored my new 5s from the cloud still says it is being restored.

    Hey beef1976,
    I can understand your frustration. However, the following article provides a little more insight:
    iCloud: Troubleshooting restoring an iCloud backup
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4036
    The restore process is taking a long time to finish.
    The amount of time needed by the restore process depends on your geographical location and the speed of your Internet connection. Even with a fast Internet connection, the restore process may need 1 to 4 hours per gigabyte to complete.
    If you're traveling between countries, the restore process may require more time than usual. iCloud is tuned to provide the best service when you're in the geographical location from which you most frequently connect to the Internet. When restoring from an iCloud backup, iCloud is tuned to provide the best service in the geographical region you were in when you created the backup.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Ive got a new iphone, backed up the old phone now when i go to restore the new one from the old it wants a backup password - i dont know it

    im trying to restore my new phone from the old phone backup but it asks for a backup password - ive tried everything but no luck with the password

    If you don't know the password to decrypt the backup, it can't be restored to any phone, including the old one.  You had to enable backup encryption and create password at some time in the past or maybe the backup is not from your old phone...

    Select setup as "New", the next screen should prompt you to rename your phone. Just name it what you already have it named. After that, you should be able to sync and all of your data & settings will still be exactly as you've already set them up on your phone. The message is more threatening than what really happens.
