Restore without previous system tablespace backups

Hi,
Can I restore a user tablespace to a previous point in time without having backups of the SYSTEM and UNDO tablespaces as of that time? Everything else in the database has been periodically backed up (archived logs, control files). System and undo backups are available, but after the data loss occurred.
Attempts to create a local DUPLICATE instance fail if I specify such previous point in time. Is there any other way to get that data out of RMAN backupsets?
Environment:
Oracle 9i for Linux (9.2.0.4)
Thanks in advance.
Ivan

Put the database into 'MOUNT' mode and then issue the restore and recover commands.
The database does not read the file headers until an alter database open command is issued.

    new iPad air. set it as new device. asked in itunes to restore from previous older iPad backup. it's not restored\i'm asked to do it agagin and again, in loop
    tried defining the iPad as new - the same problem. started it in recovery mode - the same

    The definition of insanity.....
    Does it ask for the old device by name?  How do you know it isn't restored?   Have you completed setup and checked on the device?
    Are you using the same iTunes account and Apple ID?
    On your iTunes account, Open preferences, go to devices tab
    Look in the box for a backup of your old device.    Is there a backup?
    If there is no backup, you have nothing to restore.

  • Restoring a previous system

    I recently had to restore 10.4, quittting halfway through, then re-doing it again. The result being it hasn't restored my previous system. There Is a folder with all my apps, etc. in Macintosh HD. How do I go about re-instating my old profile?

    By going through the items in the previous system folder & removing all the items that you need or want.
    Use Software Update to update your system. When you are satisfied that your computer is working correctly, delete the previous system folder & empty the trash.

  • Can I re-install Tiger without previous systems?

    I installed Leopard but I didn't have enough space for my music on my hard drive, so I want to reinstall Tiger, which takes up less space. I tried doing that, but it won't let me re-install Tiger unless I delete previous systems. I can move all my music to my external hard drive and then install Tiger again, but that will take a very long time because I have so much music. So the question: If I just leave my music on my Powerbook, and then re-install Tiger and delete the previous systems for the re-installation, will my music still be there?

    You only have two ways to reinstall Tiger. You can do an Erase and Install which will delete everything on your hard drive. Not a problem if you have everything backed up on another hard drive. Or you can do an Archive and Install which doesn't require erasing the drive but does require enough space to perform a normal installation. Tiger requires 6-8 GBs of free space during installation plus you must have some additional free space on the drive - at least another 3-4 GBs. Obviously from your question you don't. Therefore, you need to remove files from the drive to free up space sufficient to install Tiger - roughly 9-12 GBs, and I'd suggest the bigger number to avoid further problems during installation. I'm afraid you have little choice but to take the time or keep Leopard and move your music to another hard drive and delete it from your current drive.

  • How to update new iPod to iOS 5.1 then restore from previous iPod's backup

    If I want to restore my 'new' (refurbished) iPod from a back up of my old one, I need to get iOS5.1 on this one.
    I can't restore it right now because I don't have the computer it's synced with, and I was planning on getting iOS 5.1.1 on my old one before it broke.
    This is what I think I should do (when I have the right computer):
    Update software to iOS 5.1
    Restore from backup.
    Update software to iOS 5.1.1
    right?
    The only thing is, I will have to set up my new iPod 'as new iPod' to update the software because the option isnt there until your iPod is set up in iTunes (keep in mind, I'm not using the computer with the iTunes I will be syncing it with for the rest of its life). Will this change anything?
    And should I wait to do all this until I'm on the computer with the normal iTunes I'll be using, or does it not matter because I was planning on restoring it anyways?
    Pleaaasee hellppp!

    I don't have my old iPod, just the refurbished one, but I backed up my previous one beforehand when it was connected to my computer.
    On my new one, I need to update it to iOS 5.1 to to be able to restore it from a backup of my old iPod because that's they system the old one was using, and I also want to update it to iOS 5.1.1, which I can't do right away or I still won't be able to restore it. I figured I would have to:
    1. Update Software of new iPod to iOS 5.1
    2. Restore new iPod from backup of old one.
    3. Update software to iOS 5.1.1
    Am I right?

  • Restore 2003 std system state backup on windows 2003 Enterprise

    Hi
    I have taken windows 2003 std SP2 full backup (systsem state, C drive, and Data drive) few days back. My question is, can i restore this backup on windows 2003 Ent SP2 version?.
    Regards,
    Suhag.

    Hi Suhag,
    please check this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/249694#method4
    It is well explained there. The preferred method to use in order to restore Windows 2003 backup is by using ASR.
    However, I think you can backup/restore only the same version of the OS:
    "Operating system version
    The source and destination computers must use identical operating system versions and identical Windows stock-keeping units (SKUs). For example, you can't back up Windows 2000 Server and then restore it on a computer that is running Windows 2000 Advanced
    Server. Also, the source and destination computers should both use retail versions of Windows or the same OEM version of Windows. The best practice is to install Windows on the destination computer by using the same installation media that you used to install
    Windows on the source computer."
    Also, servers also have to have the same HAL (hardware Abstraction layer) which basically means the same hardware (CPU, MBU and so on).
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Vladimir

  • Question about restoring from previous iPhone 4 backup...

    Had to replace my iPhone 4 due to Prox. Sensor issues. I went to set up the new one, but it said i couldt because the software on the new iPhone was older than that on the previous, so i could only setup as "New". Now that i have it up to 4.1, can i add all the backup data from my previous iPhone? Theres a lot of texts and stuff id like to get back....photos etc...

    Yes, after you update to 4.1 you should be able to restore the backup to the phone. Right click the device tab on the left side of iTunes, and select "Restore from Backup."
    Do not sync or backup your new phone before doing this as the old backup will be overwritten.

  • Migration Assistant crashes when I try to restore from previous system bckp

    When I first started up my new MacBook Pro and arrived at the Migration Assistant screen, I selected 'TimeMachine' backup, but the Installer freaked out and took me back to the language selection screen.
    I have since tried doing the same thing in Utilities - Migration Assistant, but after a long period of MA 'calculating size' and then showing (briefly) the two users on my last system, it crashes.
    I suspect there is a problem with the external drive that I have the Time Machine backup on. I got my MacBook Pro two days ago, and the first thing I did was Software Update, so there shouldn't be any conflicts going on.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? My life is on the external drive, and the thought of losing files and settings is really making me sick.

    try repairing the external drive (not permissions) with disk utility.
    if migrating using MA doesn't work still doesn't work after that you have no choice but to do manual migration by restoring things you need by hand. see this link for a list of things to restore in your home directory.
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6185507
    to restore by hand from TM drive control-click on TM in the dock and choose "browse other TM disks". this will let you access your old TM drive in browse mode.

  • Missing partitions after running Recovery from previous System Image Backup in Windows 8.1

    After running Recovery from a recent Sytem Image Backup the LRS_ESP partition is now missing and the Used space on the  PBR_DRV partition is reported as 95.20MB while it previously reported 9.52GB in use. The WINRE_DRV, SYSTEM_DRV, Windows8_OS and D:LENOVO partions appear to be OK. 
    I ran the Recover after replacing the original 500GB HDD with a 1TB. Any details/links/recommendations on recreating/correcting the LRS_ESP and PBR_DRV partitions? Thanks!

  • Can I restore a previous system? Need 10.4 back running

    Please help me in my conundrum.
    I have been running 10.4 on my iMac and someone (accidentally) installed 10.2 on it (explanation below). Is there any way I can bring 10.4 back since my Mac Repair Shop had installed it for me. My Mac is old and it may be one of those that needs an internal DVD which I don't have. I have an external DVD connected with firewire but when I put the Tiger disc in it will show, but after restart it won't restart (eternal startup wheel), much less start the install process.
    Will I have to go back to my repair guy to reinstall 10.4 for me, or what can I do?
    If you want to read on: I was poised to change my startup disk with the 10.2 disk so I could repair my hard drive. Someone else made a few wrong clicks in my absence, wanting to help.
    Thanks for any advice you can give me.

    Had to get away from it for a little while...very frustrated!
    Not it's not a black OS. It has 3Y073212008 on the upper left over the UPC, then on the right 10433-01, lower left 2Z607-3120-A. The disk itself says Mac OS version 10.5.2, AHT version 3A140, Disc version 1.1, 2Z691-6208-A. It was part of a hardware bundle
    Sadly, it does not say 10.4 anymore. 10.2 has taken over, by the time I was told what was going on, the second install disk was already running. Nevertheless, the build # is 6C115. Additionally, this is all I can get for the hardware info:
    Machine Speed: 700 MHz
    Bus Speed: 100 MHz
    Number of Processors: 1
    L2 Cache Size: 256K
    Machine Model: iMac (version = 33.11)
    Boot ROM info: 4.1.9f1
    (told you, it's an oldie)
    Interestingly enough, it does not recognize anything in the firewire port, but it shows me "PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-117D 1.07] Mass Storage Device" on my USB Hub. Hmmm, why would the external DVD be connected both ways? And I checked the wires, it really is connected both ways. Wouldn't it be great if there is just something screwed up in the connection of the ext. DVD to the iMac? I know that if I could just update to 10.5 I'd be in the clear. What do you think?
    May not get to see your answer until tomorrow morning. A thousand thanks for taking up this messy fluke with me.

  • How do I use a backup of my previous system in migration assistant from an external hard drive?

    I had to redo my system completely because Snow Leopard broke my Parallels and then when I went back to Leopard my entire system got all screwed up. So I archived and reinstalled Leopard. Transferred the entire Previous System file to my external hard drive then erased and installed a fresh install of Leopard then upgraded to Snow Leopard. Now I'm trying to restore my Previous System on my computer and I can get the Macbook Pro to recognize the external hd in Migration Assistant and in Disk Utility it appears I would have to transfer section by section. I'm trying to prevent that. I don't have money to buy Super Duper or anything else at the moment so Migration and Disk U. seem to be my only options unless you know of anything else.

    Carbon Copy Cloner or SilverKeeper - CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.

  • How to revert to previous system?

    I recently bought a used mac with OS X 10.4 preinstalled. Since I didn't know the administrator password, I used the OS X 10.3 install CD of one of my other macs to reset the password - but I went too far with the disk. Before I knew what I had done, the OSX 10.4 had been replaced by the older OSX 10.3. Now I have a "previous systems" folder containing the previous 10.4 system. How do I go about
    making the "previous system" the current system?
    Thanks

    Paul:
    The Previous System Folder contains User information from the initial install. The article Mac OS X: About the Archive and Install feature describes exactly what is in the Previous System folder. The article How to get files from a Previous Volume after Archive and Install describes how to restore your Users Folder, including data, third party applications in the Applications folder, and preferences and settings, if that was selected prior to the Archive and Install.
    However, the Previous System Folder contains nothing that will restore the Previous System, namely Tiger. Unless you have the Tiger install disk, you are stuck with Panther.
    My suggestion is that you restore your data and preferences as well as you can, and use Panther until you are able to get your hands on a Tiger install disk. Then you can do an Archive and Install. The seller of the computer should have included the install disk since according to the Apple Software License Agreement, the OS can only be installed on one computer at a time, and since the OS was installed on the computer that was sold to you the seller cannot legally have it installed on a different computer.
    Please do post back with further questions or comments.
    Good luck.

  • I performed a time machine backup without plugging my labtop into a power source. My computer died and all the settings were changed, ie the clock and date were changed back to 2001. So I tried to restore my computer using a previous time machine backup.

    I performed a time machine backup without plugging my labtop into a power source. My computer died and all the settings were changed, ie the clock and date were changed back to 2001. So I tried to restore my computer using a previous time machine backup. (which I now know was wrong). However, when time machine tried to restore it said there was not enough room to do a backup. It seems that it did a half backup because some essential  files such as system profiler are now missing. Can I undo this restore...? What can I do to fix this

    You need to do a full system restore, per Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #14.

  • Recover database after lossing system tablespace without backup

    Hi
    My database fail because of hardware failure and then system tablespace corrupted. other tablespaces and control files are OK. Can I recover my database without backup of system tablespace?

    hi,
    if you have not taken the physical backup (inconsistent or consistent) then you can not recocver it. you need to have some backup up strategy with RMAN or Manual. Do you have hardware (Disk) Mirroring to cover the media failure??
    Atleast if you have the logical backups?? then create the database and import it..
    Thanks
