RMAN 0 level backup failed while releasing channels at end.

In RMAN 0 level backup, when it's about to finish, reports an error as releasing channels. It backed up about 98% datafiles.
Is this backup is usable. As we can not affort to take backup again as it's a big terabyte databse.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.
Aj.

Do you have release stmts in the script
From 9i onwards oracle Release the channels automatically upon backing up, so you can remove the release channel lines if you have and try it

Whats your setting for disk copy command in your init<SID>.sap
I think you are using cp command
>disk_copy_cmd                  copy

"backup failed while creating the backup folder"

Time machine fails backup.
Backup volume is a 1TB USB External.
Message appears: "backup failed while creating the backup folder"
However whwn enter time machine is entered, there is displayed many-many backup depictions.

Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?

FRA changed but incremental RMAN disk backup failed

This is a 11.1 test database.
There was a daily FRA RMAN backup scheduled from database control. Because of the filesystem space pressure we changed FRA destination to a new filesystem and removed old FRA directories.
But this time RMAN failed because it is trying to access the old files as base. How can I force RMAN to make a new base for daily incremental backup and not loose the already scheduled backup.
Thank you.

assuming you are using the Oracle provided backup procedure (you are pretty scarce on details) you need to make sure you don't have any backups (crosscheck backup and delete expired backup comes to mind), and run the procedure again. It will make a new level 0 backup and incrementals on the following days.
Please note if you don't use RMAN to clean up your O/S you will always ruin the RMAN catalog!!!

Could you please help check the reason?

Thank for your reply.
Yesterday I only modified the script.
Now the script is :
run {
allocate channel c1 type disk maxpiecesize 5120M;
allocate channel c2 type disk maxpiecesize 5120M;
backup incremental level 0 tag 'level0' format='/backup/nissandb2backup/bkp_%

include current controlfile;
release channel c1;
release channel c2;
But still failed.The log is:

We have exactly the same problem, we make daily backups from 40 databases on Windows servers and daily backups of archivelogs to a Windows server on the network. Every week we have 1 to 5 failures.
Oracle does not support backups to a server on the network, but it does work, most of the time.
On http://groups.google.com/group/comp.databases.oracle.server/browse_thread/thread/fc37eb6827962c24/db9f251077e6042e you can find this problem too, but that is not for Windows. In Oracle Support you can find a solution, but again, not for Windows. But maybe it works? Another suggestion is to use smaller backupfiles. We use 2 GB max, I will try what happens when I change this to 1 GB max.
You should be aware that restoring can give similar problems. We succeeded in restoring databases from the network server, but not always. When RMAN refuses to restore the database from the network server, it may be a solution to rename the backuppieces in the RMAN catalog, for instance:
UPDATE RMAN.BP SET HANDLE=replace(handle,'\\SRV08D1\sharename\','E:\') where tag='TAG20090828T204552';
Then you can copy the backupfiles to the new location and restore them from the new location. Oracle probably does not support this solution, but who cares if it does work?

Rman archivelog backup fails with rman-03002,ora-19563

Hi,
D:\ Oracle- -\BIN\RMAN TARGET / NOCATALOG
RMAN> backup archivelog all;
RMAN-03002: Error with backup command on 06-25-2013
ORA-19563: Header-Validation is not successful.
fails with the given errors.
11.2.0.2 PROD DB on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterpriise.
When I issue BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 0 DATABASE; it works fine. but with archivelog it is creating problems. Unfortunatly, I have not found exactly the same problem on google and on Oracle support.
The DB is using INIT.ORA and last time when I switched the mode to archive log mode I set the parameter like SCOPE=MEMORY as SPFILE was not in use and ALTER SYSTEM with SCOPE=BOTH FRA destination and size, but after the DB restarting of course that setting is gone and I am having these problems.
Please suggest.
Thanks a lot.
Best Regards,

Hi,
Thanks a lot.
I don't think that archivelogs were relocated, except I changed the location yesterday.
As I wrote at the start that because of INIT.ORA file being in use instead of SPFILE. I set DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST, DB_RECOVERY_DEST_SIZE after changing the DB mode to ARCHIVELOG, but DB was restarted by somebody else, and as the parameter changing was NOT PERMANENT, it rollback.
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST was set to d:\oradata\db with archivelog mode but db_recovery_file_dest and size was set to 0. Now here, I have no idea that whether archivelogs were not being backed up or deleted physically, but I guess that as log_archive_dest parameter is deprecated and mode is set to archivelog with no real ARCHIVELOG DESTINATION. Please correct me if I am wrong or totally wrong :-)
I performed DELETED EXPIRED ARCHIVELOG ALL, and it deleted 49 EXPIRED objects.
Now CROSSCHECK ARCHIVELOG ALL and LIST ARCHIVELOG ALL shows nothing.
LIST BACKUP OF ARCHIVELOG ALL has of course those 49 archivelog gap.
Could you please tell the impacts of those 49 missing archivelogs. Retention policy is set to 14 days. I mean the risk is for 14 days right? As anyhow, the older backups are being DELETED according to retention policy of RMAN.

Rman full backup시 파일이 2개씩 생성 됩니다.

rman을 사용해서 cron으로 일요일 새벽마다 full backup 을 하고 있는데, 백업 볼륨 full 이 발생해서 로그를 살펴보니 아래와 같습니다.
같은 사이즈, 같은 생성 시각의 파일들이 2개씩 생성 되었습니다.
rman 백업에 별다른 작업을 하지 않았는데도 저렇게 결과가 나오니 어떻게 해야할지 감을 못잡겠습니다, 특히 아래 두껍게 표시한 줄은 로그도 좀 잘린것 같습니다.

RMAN Parallel Backup Validate

Hi,
OS= Solaris 10
Database = 10gR2
I am using following script to validate the physical and logical corruption in the database through RMAN:
rman target /
RMAN> RUN {
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 8;
ALLOCATE CHANNEL d1 DEVICE TYPE DISK;
ALLOCATE CHANNEL d2 DEVICE TYPE DISK;
ALLOCATE CHANNEL d3 DEVICE TYPE DISK;
ALLOCATE CHANNEL d4 DEVICE TYPE DISK;
BACKUP VALIDATE DATABASE;
RELEASE CHANNEL;
My machine has 4 CPUs.
I just want to verify that will the above RMAN script open up 4 channels in parallel and validate the database?

Windows 7: Windows Backup failed 0x81000031

Windows backup ran, and my once-pristine and empty backup drive now has something filling its space, so I assume some files were successfully backed up. Thing is, the Action Center icon has the red x on it and it comes up with one issue: Check, your backup (Important). Clicking this issue produces the following dialog:
Windows Backup: Troubleshooting Options
Check your backup
Windows Backup failed while determining libraries location of one of the users included in the backup.
Details: BitLocker Drive Encryption cannot be used because critical BitLocker system files are missing or corrupted. Use Windows Startup Repair to restore these files to your computer.
Options:
*Try to run backup again
*Change backup settings
Error code: 0x81000031
Thing is, I'm using home premium. I don't see bitlocker as an option and I'm not terribly enthused about having to repair bitlocker when I can't use it to begin with. (Primarily, because I use Windows 7 Home Premium. Even if I used a version which supported bit locker, I'd never use it to begin with - I lack a TPM chip which means that anybody who has physical access to my machine could compromise my security regardless of bitlocker, it'd just take slightly longer for them if bitlocker were present.)
I'm digressing, the point is I don't use bitlocker and I don't know how not having bitlocker prevents Windows 7 from copying files from one drive to another and making a note in a logfile that the files were backed up. I realize I simplify the method of backing files up but it doesn't get much more complex than copying them to a separate location and timestamping them.
tl;dr: Windows Backup produced error code 0x81000031 because bitlocker drive encryption cannot be used. I don't want to use bit locker drive encryption I just want to back my files up to an external drive. Suggestions? Preferably ones that don't make me run Windows Startup Repair.

Well 4 years later same problem simple fix, did every thing else as suggested by microsoft sys repair start up repair etc etc and just removing the drive that was included in library fixed the issue i have spent hours on
now have to reinstall all that sys restore removed...SO EVERYBODY do what Sneha said first..
Clicked "Start", then "Computer".
Right clicked on the "Library" I wanted to modify, and selected "properties".
Immediately saw that my DVD drive was an included folder in the library.
Clicked on the drive in the list, and the Remove Button became active.
Clicked on "Remove" and it removed the drive from the list.
Clicked on "Incude Folder" and added in my real backup folder location (not required, I just want a libray connection to
it).
Clicked on "Ok". thanks ath1234 for the process..Cheers

If RMAN incremental level-1 backup fails...

Hi there,
I have a question. If the RMAN incremental level-1 backup fails, will the next level-1 backup attempt take backup of all changes since last successful level-0 OR level-1 backup?
Best regards

Hi,
I have a question. If the RMAN incremental level-1 backup fails, will the next level-1 backup attempt take backup of all changes since last successful level-0 OR level-1 backup?
Check the V$BACKUP_SET dictionary to confirm whether the last backup has been touched by data dictionary. If the failed incremental backup is picked up then the previous incremental backup will be required in case of the next DIFFERENTIAL INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1 backup.
But to be on safe side , it is recommended you take a LEVEL 01 CUMILATIVE INCREMENTAL backup from Level 0 till date. So that the recovery process can go through even if the previous backup is not valid.
Thanks &
Best Regards

Since it is a <b>write</b> error, I'd look at permissions on the target directory, and available disk space on the target file system.
