Restoring incremental backup in QAS_ECC6_Ora_10G_Unix

Dear All,
We have restored PRD data in QAS about 4 months back upto 2009. Now we wish to restore the production data for the months of Jan to Apri;2010 in QAS. We can not afford restoring PRD whole data in QAS as it is more than 1.5 TB and it will take at least 3 to 4 days. We have the incremental databackup for these months with us (RMAN backup). Even we do have archive logs for this period.
Is it possible to apply archive logs in QAS (database open state), I believe we can not do this once we open the database.
How to restore incremental backup in QAS?
Thanks

Hi,
Is it possible to apply archive logs in QAS (database open state), I believe we can not do this once we open the database.
Yes , you are right , you can not apply redo logs once database is open.
For restoring incremental backup also you need 0 level database restore first(You can not restore incremental backup of PRD directly on QAS) , so every case you need to restore almost 1.5TB of data.

Restore incremental backup with rman

Dear Friends
can u tell me how to restore an incremental backup with rman? i backup my rman with statement below :
1. backup full database format '/oracle/PRD/sapbackup/%U';
the results was :
-rw-r----- 1 oraprd dba 19006996480 Jun 10 12:08 0ojiit4n_1_1
-rw-r----- 1 oraprd dba 12746752 Jun 10 12:08 0pjiiu6b_1_1
2. after that i do incremental backup :
backup incremental level 1 cumulative database format '/oracle/PRD/sapbackup/%U';
the results was :
-rw-r----- 1 oraprd dba 173400064 Jun 10 13:44 0ujij2k0_1_1
-rw-r----- 1 oraprd dba 12746752 Jun 10 13:44 0vjij3qc_1_1
what statement i need to run for restore the incremental backup?

run{
ALLOCATE CHANNEL c1 DEVICE TYPE DISK;
RESTORE DATABASE;
RECOVER DATABASE;
The above command will restore your database from the last good RMAN backup. Your last backup is incremental level backup as you posted. The above command will fullfill your requirements

Restoring Incremental Backup using Netbackup

Hi,
Need your help. We have a backup of our Oracle 10g Database(one full backup and one incremental backup). The full backup (level0) is done by Netbackup and the incremental backup is done by local rman.
Now we want to restore the database. I have modified the script of Netbackup to restore the controlfile of incremental backup and allocate 2 channels for tape and disk. Our incremental backup resides in disk. Is the script we used below correct?
RUN {
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch00 TYPE DISK;
send 'NB_ORA_CLIENT=prod01, NB_ORA_SERV=NAS';
RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM '/rman/backup/incremental/ctl_PROD_c-86955024-20101221-
03';
ALTER DATABASE MOUNT;
RELEASE CHANNEL ch00;
RUN {
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch00 TYPE 'SBT_TAPE';
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch01 TYPE DISK;
send 'NB_ORA_CLIENT=prod01, NB_ORA_SERV=NAS';
#SET UNTIL SEQUENCE 138730 thread 1;
RESTORE DATABASE;
RECOVER DATABASE;
RELEASE CHANNEL ch00;
RELEASE CHANNEL ch01;
thanks,
Benjo

Hi benjo,
You cannot allocate two types of channels at the same time so you should try a three step approach.
(Every time create a new connection to the target.)
Restore controlfile
No need for:
send 'NB_ORA_CLIENT=prod01, NB_ORA_SERV=NAS';exit
Restore database from tape.
remove from your second run block
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch01 TYPE DISK;
RECOVER DATABASE;
RELEASE CHANNEL ch01;exit
Than create a recover command with disk channels
basicly remove the tape channel and restore commands from your second run block and add
alter database open resetlogs;Regards,
Tycho

TimeMachine: Restore incremental backup

When restoring from a TimeMachine backup to a new hard disk, only "full backups", which are a bit outdated, are shown. Are the incremental backups restored after the "full backup" restore?

bbonn wrote:
I'm in the same situation, and to clarify: Time Machine does, in fact, keep full vs. incremental backups, confirmed by the AppleCare support manager I am working with on this problem.
No. There's a misunderstanding.
Time Machine only makes a full backup once; all thereafter are incrementals, of what's new or changed.
But because of the way they're all linked together, every backup is, in effect, a full one. Seems odd, but see the tan box in How Time Machine works its Magic for an explanation.
However, it sounds like you may have been bitten by a bug we recently discovered, and Apple either doesn't recognize yet or hasn't told the Support folks about. Something (we don't know what yet), is telling Time Machine not to back up several top level system folders. Without them, of course, those backups aren't complete, so don't appear on the selection window. See #D10 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for details.
if so, you should be able to get most of your stuff back, at least everything from your home folder. We can help with that if necessary.
What's definitely confirmed is that any local-only snapshots are lost when the hard drive is lost, which begs the question: Why would Apple choose to do that in the first place when a perfectly-good external backup location is connected?
Those are made on laptops only, whether the external is connected or not, so you'll have access to them if necessary. Think of them as temporary, expendable Versions for files that don't have regualar Versions. See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #30 for details.

Restore incremental backups to new server

Hello!
I am trying to create my database on a new server using rman incremental cold backups.
I have already restored my level 0 database, but i am not able to restore the level 1 backup because rman doesn't find it on the new server. I have transported the level 0 and level 1 backup in tar format from the old server to the new one. Also I have not executed recover copy of database with tag 'xxxx' after level 1 backup on the source server , because i want to transport only the incremental files. Can sb help me on this issue?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Please follow the below process....
1- Take Level 0 backup with archivelog from Primary machine.
Note:- Auto Cotrolfile backup should be set in parameters setting of RMAN
2- Ship this dackup to another machine(Directory Structure Should be same , If directory Strucuture is different then use set new name option while restore)
3- STARTUP WITH NOMOUNT to second machine.
4- connect rman
5- RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM AUTOBACKUP;(All backup files should be placed at same location as on primary server , if Location is different then use RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM 'backup file'
6- MOUNT THE DATABASE
7- RESTORE DATABASE
8 -RECOVER DATABASE
After this go to primary machine do some updations and take INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1 BACKUP
Move all files to New machine
1-STARTUP NOMOUNT
2- RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM AUTOBACKUP;(All backup files should be placed at same location as on primary server , if Location is different then use RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM 'backup file'
Note:- This time controlfile should bw retored from New backup;
3- MOUNT THE DATABASE;
4- RECOVER DATABASE;( This time no need to restore database again).
Hope this will help
Thanks & Regards

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.

I am trying to restore my catalog having previously done a back up to an external hard drive and subsequently an incremental backup. I am using Photoshop Elements 11 and the only option given in the restore procedure is to open a .tly file.

I have done this but now the restore function is asking for yet another file, which i assume to be the original back up, but that is the only .tly file since the only other relevant file appears to be called catalog.buc but that is just not visible when using the restore function? How do I continue from here with this restoration of my catalog?

Martin_Had a écrit:
Thank you Andaleeb. I appear to have an old backup of a year ago, and a more recent full back up plus an incremental backup.
Regrettably I don't really understand what is going on because firstly the restore does not complete its cycle so I cannot see what that backup file contains and secondly all I have read would suggest that the .tly file is the full backup and the catalog.buc file is the incremental backup. For the present, the catalog shows the photos for 2014 which makes me think I might have backed from the old back up file.
I am minded to create another catalog and try again.
Any views on what I can do?
A backup (full or incremental) is a folder, not a file. It contains renamed pictures file copies as well a copies of the files and subfolders of the original catalog. The catalog.buc is a renamed copy of the database of your original catalog while the backup.tly. That backup.tly file contains the information to restore the renamed pictures where you decide, the original location or a new custom one. You can't do anything with the backup yourself, only the restore process can do the job if it finds the backup.tly file. In the case of an incremental backup, you have to tell the restore process where to find the incremental backup folder; it finds the backup.tly file in that folder and finds what is to restore there; then it asks you for the previous backup folder (in your case the full backup); you then browse to that full backup folder so that the restore process can find find the backup.tly there; the restore then deals with the rest of the files to restore.

Time Machine won't do incremental backups after I restored my computer

I am using a macbook (2010 version) and operating Lion. I had a problem with my Macbook where it wouldn't log on, even in safe mode, so I restored it using Timemachine. Now that everything is back up and running well I want to keep backing up. But Time Machine now says that there is not eneough space on the backup disk as it wants to back up the whole computer alongside the exisitng back up. In short it will no longer do incremental backups on top of what has already been backed up. I don't want to wipe my backup disk for fear that something might go wrong again and I may want to go back to a version earlier than the one I restored. Is there anyway of getting round this problem? It seems like a fairly serious problem.
I would appreciate any help.

When you erased the disk, it got a new UUID (Universally Unique IDentifier), which is treated like a different drive, and Time Machine will back it up in it's entirety.
Did you do a full system restore, starting from the Recovery HD? If so, that should have left a "trail" so Time Machine should have automatically "associated" the restored disk with the existing backups.
If you did it "piecemeal," though, via the "Star Wars" display, it won't (that doesn't leave the trail for TM to figure out what happened).
You might be able to get it to do the association manually. See #B6 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
But Linc is right; you apparently need a larger TM drive. See #1 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.

Does Time Machine still do incremental backups after a restore?

Hi --
We have a 500GB external iomega drive that just died and I have been working to restore it's files from Time Machine onto a new 500 GB drive. I formatted the new drive and gave it the same name as the old one, and it looks like Time Machine was smart enough to do the right thing and restore the files to their original locations.
However, this morning -- within 24 hours of completing the restore -- we see an error message from TM saying it is out of space and it cannot perform a backup. It claims that about 450 GB are needed, which is about the same size of all the files we restored. Is it possible that once backup files are restored they are not longer considered backed up, and thus Time Machine immediately tries to back up all the files it just restored? I assumed it would still do incremental backups but recognize that restored files do not need to be backed up again unless / until they are edited...
Thanks,
Ram on

That's quite unusual. Normally it does a full backup immediately: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1338

Restoring a catalog from backup and incremental backups on external Hard drive

Hello!
I recently bought a new computer where I installed again Elements 8 (that's the one I'm currently using). From my old computer, I have an initial complete catalog backup which was saved in a folder (I called this folder "Complete catalog backup") on an external hard drive. I also made then subsequent incremental backups which were saved in different folders called "Incremental backup 1", "incremental backup 2" etc. on the same external hard drive. Apparently in Element, I discovered that incremental backups can't be saved in the same folder as initial complete backup!
How should I proceed now to restore my catalog on my new computer? I know how to do it when one has only a complete initial catalog backup, but now I have also several incremental backups (contained in folders "incremental backup 1", "incremental backup 2" etc.), I just don't know how to proceed.
Some help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks a lot

First and foremost: Forget re-importing. You would loose all your edits. Importing is strictly only for images that have never been imported before.
The remedy for "missing" photos is to re-link them.
In Lr / Grid View right-click the top-most folder in the folders panel. By "top-most" I mean the parent folders of all folders. If you have several parent folder right-click one of them.
Then select <Find Missing Folder>, navigate to the corresponding folder on your new drive E and select it. Do this for every other parent folder. If the folder names and structure haven't changed Lr will find the sub-folders on its own.

Restore using incremental backup with noarchivelog mode

Hello experts,
We are running SAP on Oracle databse(IN NOARCHIVELOG MODE) for which we are having full offline backup on every sunday and post which incremental backups on rest of the days. We have scenario to do restore db to the state till last friday's incremental backup.
Please let us know the procedure for restoring till that point. If possible using brtools utility(which is SAP specific).
Thank You

Venkateshwar

If you do not want to read the whole doc This is the snippet for you.
Recovering a NOARCHIVELOG Database with Incremental Backups
Restoring a database running in NOARCHIVELOG mode is similar to restoring a database in ARCHIVELOG mode. The main differences are:
Only consistent backups can be used in restoring a database in NOARCHIVELOG mode.
Media recovery is not possible because no archived redo logs exist.
You can perform limited recovery of changes to a database running in NOARCHIVELOG mode by applying incremental backups. The incremental backups must be consistent, like all backups of a database run in NOARCHIVELOG mode, so you cannot make backups of the database when it is open.
When you are recovering a NOARCHIVELOG database, specify the NOREDO option on the RECOVER command to indicate that RMAN should not attempt to apply archived redo logs. Otherwise, RMAN returns an error.
To recover a NOARCHIVELOG database with incremental backups:
After connecting to the target database and the recovery catalog, place the database in a mounted state:
STARTUP FORCE MOUNT
Restore and recover the database.
For example, you can perform incomplete recovery with the following commands:
RESTORE DATABASE
FROM TAG "consistent_whole_backup";
RECOVER DATABASE NOREDO;
Open the database with the RESETLOGS option.
For example, enter the following command:
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;

RMAN - Incremental backup / NOARCHIVELOG / Restore & Recover Until Cancel

I'm testing out a weekly plan as follows:
Sun : Shutdown db, RMAN level 0 Incremental Backup
Mon-Sat: Shutdown db, RMAN level 1 Incremental Backup.
The database is NOARCHIVELOG mode and is 10.2 XE.
I then run a restore (which I understand to be to move the datafiles from the backup set to their online location). My next aim is to do a recover.
I'm really confused at this point. Say I take the backup the night before (either a level 0 or 1, I'm assuming that this makes no difference) then in the morning I drop a table accidentally. Okay - I want to go back to the position after the backup. When I do recover, I understand that Oracle applies redo logs written since the backup.
So I don't want a recover, I want a recover until cancel. When I issue this command it is suggesting that I use an archive log file. Well obviously I don't have any of those so I press cancel thinking that this will bring me back to the point EXACTLY AFTER THE NIGHTLY BACKUP and with my table back. But it doesn't!
I would be really grateful if anyone has a definitive answer to this - what are the steps to recover a database to the point after the backup was taken ignoring any changes since the backup.
Thanks all.
Tom.

Hi Werner
Do you mean if the online logs are available with the changes after the last backup until the database restore then there is a possibility to apply changes? Ie at this point I could put in the redo log names instead of the archive log names.
If they have been overwritten since the backup (ie cycled round completely) then is the behaviour to restore the database and then not apply any logs?
Do you know if this is documented anywhere? There seems to be an emphasis on ARCHIVELOG mode only, especially in the books I have seen.
Thanks,
Tom

Production server Incremental Backup is restoring in Testing server

Dear All,
Currently our Production database is running in windows 2003 server , Oracle version is 10.2.0.4.0
Now my question is daily incremental backup of production server will be restored in testing server (same configuration in production server
and testing server ) how can i achieve this .....
Regards,
S.Arun

Hi Oradba,
Thanks for your response. I went through the link and we need this only for testing purpose and not for reporting.
We need to take incremental backup and restore it in testing server. Is it possible to do this without RMAN.(Due to some Business reasons)
Thanks & Regards,
