Hi,
You can follow this procedure
1. take the backup to destination host
2. restore spfile and controlfile
3. catalog the backup with command 'catalog start with <location of backup>'
4. use "set newname for datafile" to restore the datafile to non asm disk
5. restore database
6. recover database until point in time
7. rename redolog and tempfile
8. open database with resetlogs
9. remove redolog group from another instance
10. you might want to drop undo tablespace from another instance too
11. task complete
Cheers

RMAN backup and restore for Disaster Recovery

Hi Guys,
I am very new to Oracle and have a question about RMAN backup and restore feature. I am simulating a disaster recovery scenario by having two VMs running oracle 11g, say hosta and hostb, hosta is sort of production db and the other a disaster recovery db (one that will be made primary when disaster occurs). My goal is to backup production db using RMAN and restore it on the other machine. For some reason when I restore the db on hostb, the command restores the previous backup but not the most recent one e.g. I took a backup yesterday (09/20) and applied it to the hostb that worked fine, but when I try to apply a fresh backup from today (09/21) it always picks up the old backup. Here's a dump of the screen:

Thanks guys, I really appreciate all your help here. I redid everything all over again to get all the information you guys wanted. Since I noticed that more eyes are looking into this I am going to reiterate my steps one more time followed by specific answers to questions. My first backup on Host B is located under ..../restore_db/backupset whereas the subsequent one is under .../restore_db/backupset/backupset2.
I take backup on Host A using:
rman target /
backup as compressed backupset database plus archivelog;
backup spfile;
quit;
I restore the backup on Host B using:
set dbid=13732232063;
startup force nomount;
restore spfile to '/oracle/app/dev/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/dbs/spfileforums.ora' from '/export/home/dev/restore_db/backupset/o1_mf_nnsnf_TAG20110928T171830_787gbpxh_.bkp'
shutdown immediate;
startup force nomount;
restore controlfile from '/export/home/dev/restore_db/backupset/o1_mf_ncsnf_TAG20110928T171638_787gbkxn_.bkp'
quit;
/* restart rman here */
alter database mount;
catalog start with '/export/home/dev/restore_db/backupset' noprompt;
restore database;
recover database;
alter database open resetlogs;
quit;
I take another backup on Host A using (notice no spfile backup this time):
backup as compressed backupset database plus archivelog;
quit;
I restore the database on Host B using:
alter database mount;
catalog start with '/export/home/dev/restore_db/backupset/backupset2' noprompt;
recover database;
alter database open;
quit;
Output of List Backup of database (I have done this after I recovered the second time, also note that it is referring to backupset2 which is were my second backup is stored)

My Itunes account was hacked and my Apple ID was disabled. I followed the instructions from APPLE to backup and restore from Itunes but that did not work. Any suggestions?? Thanks!!

Are you saying that you contacted Apple support and they instructed you to backup and restore your iPad? Or do you mean that you picked up this information from an online support article? If you spoke to an Apple rep or received these instructions via email, contact them again for further help.
I fail to see how restoring your iPad would enable yoyr Apple ID.

Rman backup and restore noarchive log

Hi,
We are changing our backup tools from exp to rman. For this I am trying to do
restoration in test server of oracle db running on 9.2 noarchive log.
Step 1. Taken complete backup with rman with nocatalog and include controlfile
nput datafile fno=00008 name=D:\ORACLE\ORADATA\TOTO\TOOLS01.DBF
channel ORA_DISK_1: starting piece 1 at 09-MAR-06
channel ORA_DISK_1: finished piece 1 at 09-MAR-06
piece handle=D:\DBBACKUPS\T1.BKP comment=NONE
channel ORA_DISK_1: backup set complete, elapsed time: 00:01:15
Finished backup at 09-MAR-06
Step 2. Deleted database files and control files from database directory.
Step 3. Restore controlfiles
RMAN> restore controlfile from 'd:\dbbackups\t1.bkp';
Starting restore at 09-MAR-06
using channel ORA_DISK_1
channel ORA_DISK_1: restoring controlfile
channel ORA_DISK_1: restore complete
replicating controlfile

output filename=D:\ORACLE\ORADATA\TOTO\CONTROL02.CTL
output filename=D:\ORACLE\ORADATA\TOTO\CONTROL03.CTL
Finished restore at 09-MAR-06
Step 3. after database mount, try to restore datafiles, which is failed
restoring datafile 00024 to D:\ORACLE\ORADATA\TOTO\DIN36\TESTUNV1.ORA
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================

Why it is looking old backup totobkp.rman which is not existing on disk ? My
backup name is t1.bkp.
Will you pl tell me where I have gone wrong ? Secondly what are the correct
steps to be followed for taking cold backup and restoration.
thanks & regards
pjp

Okay let us ponder this for a moment:-
DB NOARCHIVELOG
It does not matter when you take the backup of controlfile because the database is in mount state and no changes are allowed to the db ( Checkpoints etc. )
DB ARCHIVELOG
It does not matter when you take the backup of controlfile because the database is continuously writing to the archivelog's.
End result should not be significantly different as to worry about whether to take backup of control file before or after backup.
Thanks

RMAN backup and restore in network

Hi,
I have already did cold backup of database using RMAN in the same disk on a linux OS. It was successful.
Now i want to do the same backup in a different disk on a another system. Both the systems are in same network.
Please help me

You can name the NFS mount point anything meaningful.
In your RMAN Backup script, you would use the FORMAT clause to specify the location where the backups are to go to.
For example, if the filesystem from linux2 is NFS-mounted on linux as as /NFS_backup your RMAN command would be
BACKUP DATABASE FORMAT '/NFS_backup/%U';
BACKUP ARCHIVELOG ALL FORMAT '/NFS_backup%U' DELETE INPUT ;Look up the syntax of the formatSpec in the Backup and Recovery Reference for formats other than %U. %U generates a Unique File Name.

Backup and Restore from Photoshop Elements 8 to Photoshop Elements 12 Not Working

I have a dual boot Windows XP SP3 32 bit/ Windows 7 SP 64 bit system with Photoshop Elements (PSE) 8 installed on the Win XP system and PSE 12 installed on the Win 7 system. Both systems can see a shared drive. I can create a catalog backup on the Win XP system using PSE 8. When I attempt to restore the catalog on the Win 7 system using PSE 12 every file fails to restore. I believe I have followed the process correctly. Any suggestions?

sremsing
From the looks of it, Premiere Elements (any version) has nothing to do with this issue. Is that correct? The question seems to involve Photoshop Elements. Somehow your thread was posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing) and not the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum which should have been the destination for your question.
Photoshop Elements
If you program is Photoshop Elements, please repost your thread there or wait for a moderator to see your thread here and then move your thread from here to there.
PE is usually used to designate Premiere Elements, and PSE is usually used to designate Photoshop Elements. Using abbreviations can could confusion at times when PE and PSE are used interchangeably.
Out of curiosity, is your set up Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit and the companion virtual Windows XP Professional SP3 32 bit or is it as your wrote, the real thing "a dual boot Windows XP/ Windows 7 system". Photoshop Elements 8 and 12 are compatible on Windows 7 64 bit, why the Photoshop Elements 8 on Windows XP?

Rman backup and restore on another box with the same database name

Hi,
I am using the following script to backup the database, I want to restore the backup on another server with same database name but different datafile locations , Can some one help me in the restoration please.
#set oracle_sid=LIVE
run {
allocate channel t1 type disk;
backup database plus archivelog delete input format 'D:\Backup\ORACLE\LIVE\df_t%t_s%s_p%p';
backup current controlfile;
release channel t1;
Thanks

You need to use "set newname" before you restore your database.
You can refer this http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmdupad.htm
RMAN> connect target /
connected to target database: TEST (DBID=2033933270)
RMAN> run

3> startup nomount;
4> restore controlfile from 'location/DF_T770331608_S104_P1';
5> alter database mount;
6> restore database;
7> recover database;
8> alter database open resetlogs;
9> }Also, you have connected to the database TEST, so is the TEST database the new database that you want to create using restore method ?
If yes, then how the status of the database is OPEN ? The database status should be nomount before you restore the controlfile.
If the database is not started, then:
RMAN shows as "connected to target database: TEST (not started)
If the database is in nomount stage, then
RMAN shows as "connected to target database: TEST (not mounted)
If the database is in mount stage, then
RMAN shows as "connected to target database: TEST (DBID=xxxxxxxx, not open)
If the database is open mode, then
RMAN shows as "connected to target database: TEST (DBID=xxxxxx)
In the output you mentioned, RMAN is showing the status of the database as opened. So if TEST is the database you are creating, then it has to be in nomount stage. In your case, it looks like TEST is the primary database from which you have taken the backup.

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!

BPC 7.5 NW BackUp and Restore Issue

Hi,
When we did the Backup and Restore from Dev to QA. we landed in an error saying that Invalid Value of Dimension Member for Entity and Intco Dimension.
Appreciate on any inputs
Thanks,
Vamsi

Compare contents of entity & intco dims (dev vs qa).
You can also manual adjust entries of dims in QA and use restored appset normally.

Iphone4 would not restore Error -50. I have tried to restore and it restored it to the point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out.

Iphone would not restore---- Error -50. I have tried to restore, and it restored it to the new point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out. I can see earlier backups in my C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup folder. There are four subfolders in this address. I need my contacts, photos, and messages back. I know this is a common error but I can not figure it out. I have ran the other troublshoot items in the error steps for 13 and 14 like apple says. Is there a way to call apple and get a step by step of how to restore from another restore point? Does anybody have a solution????

It tells you to go to Error 13 and 14 if you receive error (-50).
Here is what I have tried...
Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting. I have moved it around to different ports.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer. Didn't change anything.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts. Removed all virus protection and firewall.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.Used the Microsoft fix it.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online. Doesn't matter.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network. I do not know how to do this or how to find the correct/full/complete restore point. There should be more information for this.

While updating my iphone 4s to ios6, I had to restore it. Now every time I connect to itunes, I get the "Set Up Your iPhone" window with the set up as new iphone and restore from backup options. After the restore, I got everything except my apps back.

How to copy a networked TimeMachine backup to an external drive and restore from it?

Hi,
I backup my MacBook Air with TimeMachine to my QNAP NAS which offers a TimeMachine backup service and I can restore data from it OK.
Working in IT, and being a bit paranoid about important data loss, I am concerned that if I was robbed or my house burnt down I would most likely lose both the MacBook and the TimeMachine Backup on my NAS :-(
To protect against this I have backup my (linux based) NAS to an external drive that I keep offsite. This drive is encrypted to keep my data secure with a Linux form of encryption (cryptsetup) and hence can't be plugged into a MacBook to try and restore from it - I doubt this would work either as the TimeMachine data is not located in the root of the drive.
So what I have done to test my restore process is to mount the encrypted NAS backup that include the TimeMachine backup folders on a Linux machine and then copy the TimeMachine data to the root of an HFS+ formatted external USB drive.
But, now I am stuck as how to try and restore something from this to my MacBook to see if the copy of the TimeMachine backup is good. If I press the Alt key on the TimeMachine icon, I can select an alternate backup device and when I enter TimeMachine to browse the data, I can browse the structure but there is no option to go back in time !! It seems like it is not possible to restore from this copy of the TimeMachine backup.
Does anyone know if this should be possible, and if so, what am I doing wrong here?

Try un-mounting the drive from the Linux computer and see if you can access it as NAS.

For anyone else that may be in a similar situation, I can confirm that this does actually work.
I am unsure why I was not able to mount the original sparseimage that I copied to the USB drive before, but I have gone through the entire process again and I could successfully mount the TM sparseimage onto my MacBook and restore files from within it using TimeMachine to my Mac.
This is a Disaster Recovery solution only needed for if both my NAS and Macbook get stolen or damaged so I am happy with this solution for now.
I will try the restore process several more times from my monthly backups to reassure myself that the first failure to mount the sparse image was an anomaly.
This is the process that I have tested:
Configure MacBook to backup to TimeMachine Service running on QNAP NAS device.
Perform regular backup of QNAP NAS Device (Linux) including the TimeMachine backup data to an external USB drive with encryption enabled and store this device safely off-site
In time of loss of both NAS and MacBook, Time Machine data can be recovered to another Mac without the need of the NAS using the following process:
Mount the external drive containing the backup of the NAS filesystem (ext4) which is encrypted onto a Linux host so it is readable - use the cryptsetup luksOpen options to access the encrypted filesystem then mount it.
Mount a n empty HFS+ formatted USB drive on the Linux host
Use Rsync to copy the sparsebundle from the external NAS drive backup disk to the root of the USB Drive
Insert the HFS+ formatted USB containing the sparesbundle into the Mac's USB port
Double click the sparsebundle to mount it onto the Mac as a Volume
Using Alt button and the TimeMachine icon, select use alternative backup disk and you should see the TM backup in the sparsebundle
Enter TimeMachine and you should be able to restore any/all files
Hope that helps someone else and thanks to LaPastenague for pointing me in the direction of some of the answers I needed.
