Rman backup with no archivelog mode

Hi Friend,
I did this backup many times before, to backup a test db which is not in archivelog mode.
My procedure are the following:
$ rman target /
rman> run {
shutdown immediate;
startup mount;
backup format '/u02/RMAN/%d_LVL0_%T_%u_s%s_p%p' database;
delete obsolete;
But strange I got now error:
ORA-19602: cannot backup or copy active file in NOARCHIVELOG mode
Thanks a lot

Hi,
Paste the snap shot of what you actually doing and what error messages are coming. That will help to analyze the problem.
This basically happens when your shutdown is not normal or clean.
One way is to again startup the database and then issue shutdown Normal.

RMAN backup in noarchived log mode

Hi,
can we take RMAN backup in noarchived log mode?
If yes, how? just run backup database command or ?
thanks

You can use RMAN to backup a database in noarchivelog mode but you need to shutdown and mount the database. e.g.:
rman target /
RMAN> shutdown immediate
RMAN> startup mount
RMAN> backup database

1st RMAN backup database plus archivelog fails

Hi
I've just setup RMAN on Oracle 11g within a two node cluster environment.
I have completed the following:
* Created a recovery catalog
* Registed Database
* Configured retention policy window of 7 days
* Configured default device type to disk
* configured controlfile autobackup on;
* configured device type disk backup type to compressed backupset
* configured channel device type disk format
* validated database
* backup database plus archivelog and I received the following error,

The node that is doing backups must be configured to have access to archivelogs on all the nodes.

Rman backup excluding missing archivelogs

Please help me in the following scenario :
I have 2 months old archivelog in my disk..am taking full rman database backup daily at night..but not the archivelog. once I moved some of my archivelog files to another mount point as the archivelog destination is almost filled.
when i try to take the backup of archivelogs,I got the message
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of backup command at 11/24/2008 23:16:23

which is expected, since I moved the file /archv/PROD/PROD1_234_662754021.arc to another location inorder to have that as a temp.solution ..
now , I have all my archivelogs starting from nov-3 till date in the log_archive_dest_1
RMAN> run

ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch01 TYPE 'SBT_TAPE';

UNTIL TIME "TO_DATE('11-24-2008:23:46:15', 'MM-DD-YYYY:HH24:MI:SS')"
DELETE INPUT;
release channel ch00;
release channel ch01;
now, is there anyway i can include the old archivelogs in the rman by restoring from the temporay location and taking backup. I know that I have a full database backup, but I need to have my old archivelogs also included in that ? or () does backup arhcivelog all will give any error message now ?(ORA-17500: ODM err:File does not exist)
Any way ?
Kai

You need to unregister the old archivelog path and register the new archivelog path for the backup to be successful without changing the backup command.
Assuming you're using 9i or 10g (although 'SBT_TAPE' hints 8i), you can either
1. use the 'change' and 'catalog' command to unregister the archivelogs from the old place and re-register the archivelogs in the new place:
change archivelog 'oldpath\archivelogname' unregister';
catalog archivelog 'newpath\archivelogname';
or
change archivelog 'oldpath\archivelogname' unregister';
catalog start with 'newpath';
2. Not include the archivelog clause in the backup (not recommended)
I generally backup archivelogs at least 2-3 times before deleting them and make sure they are on seperate tapes (if possible). Deleting on input has one point of failure.

Why does my archivelog RMAN backups end up in ORACLE_HOME/dbs ?

DB version: 11.2
Platform: Solaris 10
I have noticed that , rman backup pieces containing archivelogs end up in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory despite using format parameter. This happened for both Level 0 AND Level 1 backups.
I know that backup files end up in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs when you forget to specify FORMAT. But FORMAT is included in my Level0 and Level 1 Scripts as shown below. Is there anything else wrong with my L0 and L1 scripts ?
Following are my Level0 and Level 1 backup scripts
-- Level0
run
allocate channel LEVEL0_TBLQA device type disk;
crosscheck backup;
delete noprompt obsolete;
backup as backupset incremental level 0 database format='/u04/dbfiles/RMAN_bkp/tblqa/TBLQA_full_%U_%T.bkp' plus archivelog delete input;
release channel LEVEL0_TBLQA;
}--- Level 1
run {
backup as compressed backupset incremental level 1 database format='/u04/dbfiles/RMAN_bkp/tblqa/TBLQA_L1_%U_%T.bkp' plus archivelog delete all input;
}This DB is using control file as catalog.

backup as backupset incremental level 0 database format='/u04/dbfiles/RMAN_bkp/tblqa/TBLQA_full_%U_%T.bkp' plus archivelog delete input;
backup as compressed backupset incremental level 1 database format='/u04/dbfiles/RMAN_bkp/tblqa/TBLQA_L1_%U_%T.bkp' plus archivelog delete all input;This is because, the format you have specified stands good only till the backup of database (backup as compressed backupset incremental level 1 database format ".....") and not for the archive log in your script. Hence, the archivelog backups get stored in the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs location and the database backup gets stored in the format location you have mentioned in your RMAN script.
Instead you can use as below:
run
allocate channel LEVEL0_TBLQA device type disk format '/u04/dbfiles/RMAN_bkp/tblqa/TBLQA_full_%U_%T.bkp';
crosscheck backup;
delete noprompt obsolete;
backup as backupset incremental level 0 database plus archivelog delete input;
release channel LEVEL0_TBLQA;

Archivelog files and Rman backup

Hi all,
Please somebody guide me regarding the following concept.
We have the oracle server version 10.2.0.1.0, working with Windows OS,
I had set the parameter log_archive_dest_1 for locating archivelog files, then I had changed the archivelog files to the flash recovery area(located in another disk) by using the parameters db_recovery_file_dest_size and db_recovery_file_dest.
Now the archivelog files are being located at two different location. At this point, If I take backup for archivelog files with the aid of RMAN, then ,
How will the RMAN take backup from those two different locations?
Thanks&Regards,
Jai.

PROBLEM :
I have archivelogs duplexed - when running RMAN - rman backups up the archivelogs from both duplexed destinations - from the user manual - this should not be the case, any ideas?
Details:
I have archivelogs duplexed
I have the following set in rman :
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 2 DAYS;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/backup/rman/WPPMD/control_%F';
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' PARALLELISM 10 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET;
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/backup/rman/WPPMD/backup_%d_%T_%U' MAXPIECESIZE 10 G;
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE OFF; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM 'AES128'; # default
CONFIGURE COMPRESSION ALGORITHM 'LOW' AS OF RELEASE 'DEFAULT' OPTIMIZE FOR LOAD TRUE;
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO BACKED UP 1 TIMES TO DISK;
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/dbs/snapcf_WPPMD.f'; # default
When I run backups via a script :
backup incremental level=$RMAN_LEVEL database plus archivelog;
($RMAN_LEVEL changes between 0 and 1 depending on the day of the week)
It backs both duplex copies of the same archivelog
From the document :
Oracle10g / 11g - Getting Started with Recovery Manager (RMAN) [ID 360416.1]
It says :
Even if your redo logs are being archived to multiple destinations and you use RMAN to back up archived redo logs,
RMAN selects only one copy of the archived redo log file to include in the backup set. (Since logs with the same log sequence number are identical, there is no need to include more than one copy.)
But this is not the case ie
RMAN> list archivelog sequence 2445;
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
List of Archived Log Copies for database with db_unique_name WPPMD
=====================================================================
Key Thrd Seq S Low Time
4640 1 2445 A 17-DEC-10
Name: /log/recovery_area/WPPMD/archivelog2/1_2445_735315419.dbf
4639 1 2445 A 17-DEC-10
Name: /log/recovery_area/WPPMD/archivelog/2010_12_17/o1_mf_1_2445_6jpx9n7c_.arc
So it still backing up both copies of the archive log.
Any ideas? is this a bug?
Thanks

RMAN Backup for Failover_Yuvi

Hi All Pros,
I am a newbie in Oracle, presently using Oracle 11g XE. Just wanted to know that if i can create a Clone copy of Database to other physical server from the Backup taken by RMAN Script provided by default Start>All Programs>Oracle DB 11G Express>Backup Database in Archivelog mode.
If i can then how to do it as i have tried copying the Flash recovery area to target DB and using Start>All Programs>Oracle DB 11G Express>Restore Database in Archivelog mode
and if it is not the way then please suggest a way to do the same.
* Thanks in advance for your valuable comments
Regards////
Yuvraj

Hi Yuvraj,
Welcome to the forums!.
What you have done didn't worked? It looks that it should have worked.
I don't have a Windows XE instalation to test it, but feel free to post here any problem you may have encountered.
You can also check the official documentation about backup with XE here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/server.112/e18804/backrest.htm

About RMAN backup !!!!

Dear Friends,
Let my production server running starts from 1st June .
In 15 june , I take the First rman full (or level0) backup using the command :
RMAN> backup database plus archivelog;
In 20 June I take 2nd rman full backup using : RMAN> backup database plus archivelog;
Again in 30 June , I take the Third(3rd) rman full (or level 0) backup using the command :
RMAN> backup database plus archivelog;
And also my rman policy set as :
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1;
In the above scenario , I have the following questions :
1) When I take the Third(3rd) backup then is it the First RMAN backup goes to obsolete as per my rman policy ( RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1) ?
2) Is the above all RMAN backup make a link between them ?
3) If my first RMAN backup goes to obsolete and I have to delete the First RMAN backup , then which types of problem I face ? Can I go to previous state(suppose I need to back in 1st June) of my server if I delete First rman backup ?
4) when I take 3rd rman full backup , then is it all information from 1st january of the server are stored in the 3rd backup ? i.e., is the 3rd rman backup stores all the previous two rman backups information ?so that If I delete the previous two backup , then I get all information form 3rd rman backup .what is the actual scenario ......
plz help me to make clear concept about it .......
thx in advance .....

1) When I take the Third(3rd) backup then is it the First RMAN backup goes to obsolete as per my rman policy ( RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1) ?The REDUNDANCY parameter of the CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY command specifies how many backups of each datafile and control file that RMAN should keep. In other words, if the number of backups for a specific datafile or control file exceeds the REDUNDANCY setting, then RMAN considers the extra backups as obsolete.So as in your case the redundancy is 1 so the 1st and 2nd backup are obsolete.
To check the obsolete backups run
rman> report obsolete;
To delete them
rman> delete obsolete;
Link:[http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14192/setup005.htm#BRBSC400]
Is the above all RMAN backup make a link between them ?I am not very much clear with the question.The RMAN information is stored in the controlfile.You can also create a new recovery catalog and register the target database. The RMAN repository records in the control file will be copied to the new recovery catalog.
when I take 3rd rman full backup , then is it all information from 1st january of the server are stored in the 3rd backup ? i.e., is the 3rd rman backup stores all the previous two rman backups information ?so that If I delete the previous two backup , then I get all information form 3rd rman backupThe 3rd RMAN backup will contain all the information of the DB from the very 1st day.You will get all the information in the 3rd rman backup as its a level 0 or what we say a FULL DATABASE BACKUP.If suppose the 3rd rman backup would have been a incremental backup, then you would have required a full backup, previous to the incremental one, so that after restoring the full backup, you restore the incremental to recover the DB completely.

[http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14192/bkup004.htm#BRBSC133]
Forgot to answer the 3rd question
3) If my first RMAN backup goes to obsolete and I have to delete the First RMAN backup , then which types of problem I face ? Can I go to previous state(suppose I need to back in 1st June) of my server if I delete First rman backup ?well, i am not very much sure , but i think is , if you have the 1st rman backup pieces physically present on the disk, you can catalog it and then use the rman command to restore the data from it of till 1st june.
To catalog the backup pieces use
rman> catalog backuppiece 'filename';

I can't backup database plus archivelog

Hi.
I lost few previous archivelogs, and can't run "backup database plus archivelog;".
That's what I got from rman:
RMAN> backup database plus archivelog;
Starting backup at 12-APR-09
current log archived

How to fix it ?
Hi
Run commands:
RMAN> CROSSCHECK ARCHIVELOG ALL;
RMAN> DELETE NOPROMPT EXPIRED ARCHIVELOG ALL;
And then "backup database plus archivelog;"
Edited by: val75 on Apr 12, 2009 11:31 AM

After deleting expired archivelogs, backup is working fine...
RMAN>delete noprompt expired archivelog all;
RMAN>crosscheck archivelog all;
RMAN>backup database plus archivelog;
Actually, what is doing while issuing "crosscheck archivelog all" command????
thanks

How to check RMAN backup report or log

Hi Guys,
I have RMAN schduled to backup my database daily.
Please what are the steps to check the report of the backup to see what was actually backed up and if it backup up ok
Thanks

Use "LIST BACKUP" to display information about backup sets, proxy copies, and image copies. With LIST command you can list the following:
- Backups and copies that do not have the status AVAILABLE in the RMAN repository
- Backups and copies of datafiles that are available and can possibly be used in a restore operation
- Specified archived logs, backup sets, backup pieces, control file copies, datafile copies, and proxy copies
- Backups and copies restricted by tag, completion time, recoverability, or device
- Incarnations of a specified database or of all databases known to the repository
- Stored scripts in the recovery catalog
Examples on how to use LIST command are listed below:
RMAN> LIST BACKUP;
RMAN> LIST EXPIRED BACKUP;
RMAN> LIST BACKUP OF DATABASE;
RMAN> LIST BACKUP SUMMARY;
RMAN> LIST BACKUP BY FILE;
RMAN> LIST ARCHIVELOG ALL;
RMAN> LIST COPY OF DATABASE ARCHIVELOG ALL;
RMAN> LIST COPY OF DATAFILE 1, 2, 3;
RMAN> LIST BACKUP OF ARCHIVELOG FROM SEQUENCE 1437;
RMAN> LIST BACKUPSET OF DATAFILE 1;You can use the VALIDATE keyword of the BACKUP command to do the following:
- Check datafiles for physical and logical corruption
- Confirm that all database files exist and are in the correct locations
For example, you can validate that all database files and archived redo logs can be backed up by running a command as follows:
RMAN> BACKUP VALIDATE DATABASE ARCHIVELOG ALL;I suggest you read Oracle® Database Backup and Recovery Manuals:

Possible solution is:
The default path where TDPO looks at is '/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64'
even if the file DSM.SYS exists in another directory.
The read permission of the file '/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64/dsm.sys'
was incorrect:
-rw-r----- i.e. "OTHERS" which is Oracle isn't allowed to read the
file /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64/dsm.sys
After changing permissions on /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64/dsm.sys in order
to allow oracle to use it then the backup works fine.
$ chmod +r /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/api/bin64/dsm.sys
The problem is on the TSM side. If the solution does not work you have to check TSM logs for further error messages.

ARCHIVELOG mode needless for offline (cold) backups ?

When I read some tutorials or comments about backup with rman or expdb I saw often the recommendation to put database in ARCHIVELOG mode.
But this is from my point of view useless when I do such a backups in offline mode.
I want to backup the current state of the database - full stop.
Redo logs from ARCHIVELOG are not necessary. Only if I want to go further back from the current state back to the past they are of use.
Am I right?
Peter

Data pump does not require or use archivelog mode for importing, or exporting.
The archivelog mode is required, however, for RMAN backups, except for full database copy which it copies while the database is shutdown.
The Data Pump utility uses a parameter called FLASHBACK_SCN (and FLASHBACK_TIME) which reads the undo data, but not to be confused with archivelogs.
NOTE that if you set archivelog mode on, you may want to either turn off archivelog mode when importing, or set the tabelspaces to nologging (then back to logging when done). Otherwise, it may cause enough archive logs during import to fill up your file system.

Hope this helps.
