RMAN backup into multiple locations

Hi All,
Our database size is 1.4 TB. I am planning to schedule RMAN full backu. But i do not have mount point of size 1.4 TB. We have mount point /rmanbkp1 of size 1200GB and /rmanbkp2 of size 200GB. How can i distribute RMAN backup to these two filesystems.
Can i take tablespace level backups..?
Please suggest.
Thanks
Sandeep Vadlamudi

Hello;
First of all 1200GB, might be enough since you probably are not using all the blocks in the 1.4 TB and will compress you will also lose less.
Can i take tablespace level backups..?
Yes but the value is limited. You cannot for example recover a dropped tablespace.
Test a backup first and get an idea of how much space you really need.
Also once you have a backup how do you free space for the next backup?
You could use the FORMAT command to backup the database to one location and the Archive to the other. 200 GB is not much space.

Can RMAN Backup to multiple destinations on disk?

Hello -
Does RMAN have the ability to backup to multiple destinations?
For example, local filesystem, as well as a remote location?
Thanks in advance!

Not on another machine but on tape yes.

Centralized rman backup in one location

Hi,
I want to centralize rman backup for all my databaseserver in one location.
I already dedicate one server for this backup and create a catalog in this server but if i start the backup the backup file is not stored on the server that reside the catalog but in the database server. What should I do to store all my backup in this backup server.
Thanks

Yes, catalog is just a metadata but I want to store rman backup in a remote database server.
Is there rman server to be installed to do this?
ThanksPls, your RMAN script also.
Look:
Server1: Where you execute your backup script
Server2: Where your catalog database resides.
Now, if you want your backups to be stored in Server2, you have to mount location at Server1 which points location at Server2. This is could be NFS o ssh based sharing and etc.

Backup to multiple locations?

I've been able to get RMAN to copy to a networked drive. Is it possible to have the database backups and archivelog backups backup to both the local hard drive and the networked drive? I don't want to have to use a manual process of copying the day's backups to the networked drive if RMAN can do it.

To take RMAN backup at multiple disk locations

Hi,
Can we configure RMAN to take backup of DB at more than one disk locations with CONFIGURE command.
Thanx.

See Re: Setting backup on two different location

RMAN backup to two locations

How can I write backupsets to two different locations at the same time . So, I have FRA area and /backup UFS mounted mount point . I want to write on both of them . Can anyone tell how can I do that at the same time ? Help will be appreciated. Thanks

Hi,
I have to configure RMAN in such a manner that it has two backup destination
1) FRA
2) ANY OTHER DESTINATION
but according to our retention policy (15days) the obselete backup file should be deleted only from one location(FRA) but the other location's backup should persist until i manualy remove them.
did retention policy of RMAN and FRA is done seperatly?
Thanks in advance.

RMAN backup to 2 locations

Hi,
How to backup database to 2 locations using RMAN?
Assume, i need to backup to c:\backup1 and c:\backup2, both locations contains of same backup file.
Thank you.
Wilson

You have to set the number of backup copies to the number of different locations.
Look on [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96565/rcmsynta50.htm#98625]SET command: "BACKUP COPIES".
Then you have to define the locations using the FORMAT parameter on [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96565/rcmsynta9.htm#78484]BACKUP command.
Example:RUN
ALLOCATE CHANNEL c1 DEVICE TYPE DISK;
SET BACKUP COPIES = 2;
BACKUP DATABASE FORMAT 'c:\backup1\%U', 'c:\backup2\%U';

Rman backup to alternate location

Hello:
Env,
oracle11gr2.
rhel5
data,log,control,fra all are in asm.
we do daily backups to fra on disk(ASM) using rman. There is a special requiremtn to take a full backup to an nfs mount say "/spl/rman" accessibile from the node .
How do i achieve this?
Thanks
San~

Hi,
Use the below script, In Place of <PATH> give your desired path:
run {
allocate channel d1 type disk;
allocate channel d2 type disk;
backup
incremental level 0
format '<path>/full_%U_%d.$DATE'
(database)
current controlfile
sql 'alter system archive log current';
release channel d1;
release channel d2;

RMAN backup of multiple dbs

Hi,
I have a question regarding RMAN.
I have 2 DBs in 2 different servers and I do a daily backup of the DBs with RMAN (no catalog, just the rman script) The two DBs are connected through an application that writes on both DBs common and connected data for the applicazion it self, so if one db stops and the other keeps working the data i will find on my application will become inconsistens (or at least I will have differences between the dbs).
Is there a way to create a single RMAN script that does a backup of archive logs and db of the two DBs simultaniously so that I am 100% sure that the data is taken exactly at the same moment, and I don't have to worry about having discrepancies between the two dbs in case of a restore procedure? because if one db needs restore I will need to restore BOTH dbs to have the application up and running correctly!
(hope I explaied it well enough)
I have Oracle 10.2.0.4 EE on Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2
Thank you all!

Hi,
I think you must use data guard configuration.
In data guard configuration databases will be primary and standby database and transport service (SYNC or ASYNC) is send all archived logs to standby
and apply service will apply all received redo logs to standby.
When primary database i failed, then you can convert standby to new primary.
If you will use SYNC transport then you sure you data loss is equal to zero.

Like to take rman backup files into some other machine

Dear all
I like to take Rman backup into some other machine rather than its default storage location $oracle_home/dbs in to some other machine..
While i ran database backup in rman it stores the file sets into default location $ORACLE_HOME/dbs ... I relocated in to some other drivers in same machine also.. I got work ... But due to space issue i would like to take backup into some other machine so its possible ? how to configure it...

Best pratices for RMAN backup management for many databases

Dear all,
We have many 10g databases (>40) hosted on multiple Windows servers which are backup up using RMAN.
A year ago, all backup's were implemented through Windows Scheduled Tasks using some batch files.
We have been busy (re)implementing / migrating such backup in Grid Control.
I personally prefer to maintain the backup management in Grid Control, but a colleague wants now to go back to the batch files.
What i am looking for here, are advices in the management of RMAN backup for multiple databases: do you guys use Grid Control or any third-party backup management tool or even got your home-made solution?
One of the discussion topic is the work involved in case that the central backup location changes.
Well... any real-life advices on best practices / strategies for RMAN backup management for many databases will be appreciated!
Thanks,
Thierry

Hi Thierry,
Thierry H. wrote:
Thanks for your reaction.
So, i understand that Grid Control is for you not used to manage the backups, and as a consequence, you also have no 'direct' overview of the job schedules.
One of my concern is also to avoid that too many backups are started at the same time to avoid network / storage overload. Such overview is availble in Grid Control's Jobs screen.
And, based on your strategy, do you recreate a 'one-time' Oracle scheduled job for every backup, or do your scripts create an Oracle job with multiple schedule?
You're very welcome!
Well, Grid Control is not an option for us, since each customer is in a separate infrastructure, and with their own licensing. I have no real way (in difference to your situation) to have a centralized point of control, but that on the other hand mean that I don't have to consider network/storage congestion, like you have to.
The script is run from a "permanent" job within the dba-scheduler, created like this:
dbms_scheduler.create_job(
        job_name        => 'BACKUP',
        job_type        => 'EXECUTABLE',
        job_action      => '/home/oracle/scripts/rman_backup.sh',
        start_date      => trunc(sysdate)+1+7/48,
        repeat_interval => 'trunc(sysdate)+1+7/48',
        enabled         => true,
        auto_drop       => false,
        comments        => 'execute backup script at 03:30');and then the "master-script", determines which level to use, based on weekday from the OS. The actual job schedule (start date, run interval etc) is set together with the customer IT/IS dept, to avoid congestion on the backup resources.
I have no overview of the backup status, run times etc, but have made monitoring scripts that will alert me if/when a backup either fails, or runs for too long. This, in addition with scheduled disaster/recovery tests makes me sleep rather well at night.. ;-)
I realize that there (might be) better ways of doing backup scheduling in your environment, since my requirements are so completely different than yours, but I guess that we all face the same challenges in unifying the environments as much as possible, to minimize the amount of actual work we have to do. :-)
Good luck!

Document for upgrading 8i to 10g using RMAN backup

hi
I need to restore a 8i database on a server and then wanted to upgrade it to 10g.
Is there any good documentation available ?

RMAN won't perfom upgrade. You'll have to resotore your database using the Recovery Manager reference manual 8i: http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/A87860_01/doc/server.817/a76990/toc.htm . (Watch out, the above mentioned reference is for RMAN 10g, there were many differences between 8i and 10g, if you try to use 10g syntax on an 8i rman it will partially work or won't work at all)
Install 8i on your target OS.
Restore/Recover with rman 8i your 8i rman backup.
Your rman backup must be located at the same path where it was when you obtained it on your source OS.
Once you have made sure it opens, proceed with upgrade.
Read upgrade guide for an specific upgrade procedure for 8i->10g.

Delete RMAN backup

Oracle 11.2.0.1
Windows
I takes RMAN backup at D:\RMAN_BAKCUP of our test database. Now there is space problem, I have to allocate some space to other folder. I shall take cold backup of database by shutdown. How do I start to delete RMAN backup from above location. It is incremental backup. What precautions should be there while deleting RMAN backup with archive logs.
Can I delete all archive logs too after consistent backup by shutting down the database ?
I am facing space problem, thats why I though that I shall take cold backup of db and now no need of rman backup as well as archive logs. Am I correct ?
Thanks.

Thanks.Given what else I've read in this thread (test database, no need for point in time recovery, etc.) A 'cold' backup may be appropriate, but I'd still use rman to do it. I have a similar situation right now with one of my test databases. I took an rman cold backup (database is open MOUNT) with KEEP UNTIL 'SYSDATE + 60'. Once, sometimes twice, a day the developer asks for a restore to the backup. Piece of cake with rman, especially with a little script all ready to go. Would be a bit more difficult with a 'user managed' backup.

Can we take rman backup image copy to multiple location

Hi All,
We are planing to move database from old storage to new storage on the same server.
planing to use RMAN image copy to copy the db files from old storage to new storage and then switch database to copy.
Currently dbfiles are on /u01, /u02, /u03, /u04 and we are planing to move to new storage /u05, /u06/, /u07
Is there any way that i can copy all the dbfiles to /u05,/u06,/u07
Backup as copy database format '/u05
As i know i can move to single location. Is there any way copy to multiple location using image copy.
Please suggest.
Thanks

Hi
I will try the below command.
BACKUP AS COPY
DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT ('/u01/..','/u05/...','/u02/...,','/u06/..')
database;
I believe this will work.
Thanks
