RMAN Backup on another server

Hi,
I am using oracle database 11g, and I am taking RMAN backup in the same server.
But now I need this RMAN backup to be saved on another server.
I created one database directory, but it did not work with me, since it cannot see the location.
I used the same idea with export file to another server and it worked.
But with RMAN directory it could not work !!!.
So any idea about this ?
Thanks and Best Regards.

Rman backup to another server

Hello!
This is the scenario:
I have a primary database(oracle 10g) and a standby database, created using Rman.
Is there a way to backup the standby database and transfer the backup to another server, so I can have the database in a third server that is neither primary nor standby.
Thank in advance!

Hi user10385894,
Is there a way to backup the standby database and transfer the backup to another server?Yes you can copy the backup pieces from the standby side to the third server and copy a controlfilecopy from the primary and register the backup pieces.
Followed by a restore.
Do you happen to have a catalog than even a duplicate can be done easely?

I made a backup using rman and the following: RMAN> backup database;
can I restore this backup on another server? If yes how can I do this?
Thank you

Can we restore oracle 11g RMAN backups to 10g server

Hi,
I have RMAN backups (full backup)of oracle 11g database. My server was suddenly crashed due to hardware failure.
We have another Oracle 10g server. Is it possible to restore RMAN backups of 11g database to Oracle 10g server???
Thanks

I don't have 11g server ready with me. The other server running oracle 10g and I dont have rights to install oracle 11g on the 10g server. So I can not test the RESTORE/RECOVER commands.
If anyone had experience in the past, please let me know whether we can RESTORE RMAN backups of 11g database to oracle 10g server...
Thanks

Load rman backup on another instance

Hi All,
I am relatively new to Oracle and now I have to devise a strategy for backups and recovery. My objective is to backup the production database regularly in such a way that one month down the line I am able to load it on another instance. I have been trying to read up on the subject, but looks like it can be loaded only on the same instance.
Any thoughts how can this be achieved.
Thanks
Sanjay

Hi Pierre,
Looks like rman duplicate database command only supports creation of duplicate database on a instance that exists at the time. I am looking for something that can be archived on to disk/tape and when required restored on a database instance. I come from Sybase background, where we just dump (or backup) a database copy and restore it on to another server and database. I have tried dumping schema using both datapump and exp, but both have problems while restoring on another server. Datapump does not support XMLtype data and imp has problem restoring some views.

Need to test Production Backups on another server.

Dear Expert,
Our SAP Production server is running on HP-UX in cluster mode (ECC 6.0 with oracle 10g). We have sheduled Incremental database online backup (daily) and Full database online + redolog backup (on sunday) on disk, and getting successfull backups.
Now we wanted to test our backup, as it is a running production server so wanted to try on diffrent server.
So we are installing new server on windows 64bit machine with orale database. Our plane is to copy backupfiles of production server to newly installed server and try to restore it.
We need your suggetions on it and the correct way to test the backups if any.
As it is highly important activity, so please revert ASAP.
Regards,
Ajit

Hi Ajit,
I would recommend to test this scenario on HP-UX system only as your production server is on the same operating system.
If there is no urgency for testing the production backup, you can wait until your Quality Server refresh cycle.
You can refresh the Quality server using online/offline backup restore method (backup of production server).
This way, you will get 2 benefits..
1. Your Quality server will be refreshed with production data
2. You can test Production backup consistancy more efficiently.

RegardsIf your OS is windows then you have to create OracleService using oradim utility,then create need directory for data/control/log files and according background/diag/trace also parameter file.
After creating these directories startup mount database using STARTUP MOUNT PFILE='PFILELOCATION' then issue command RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE in this case oracle will read default location of archive logs and will apply,if this directory is different then main server then execute RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCEL and apply archive logs manually and open database with ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS.

RMAN restore to another server - step by step

I have hot backups on tape, with catalog.
I have a prod database and a auxiliary database, but their names are the same..
I need to know the steps to perform a restore to auxiliary database´s machine (same plataform).
I´m doing the folowing for test purpose (the auxiliary database is in nomount state).
1) on AUXILIARY machine: rman target rman/pwd@PROD auxiliary sys/pwd
2) restore controlfile to 'c:\teste' from autobackup;
But, the controlfile was restored on PRODUCTION database´s machine.
Why?!
TIA
Rogério

Thanks for your help Kuljeet.
But i still have the same problem: if the *Backup must be available on new host" i need to restore to the new host. My problem is: I don´t know to do that using RMAN (my backup is in tape). In all my tests, the backup (controlfile) was restored to the target database´s host. If I try to restore the whole database, the target database will be overwrite. (Sorry for my english).
1) Where I connect to rman: in target database´s machine, in auxiliary database´s machine, etc? I think is in auxiliary database´s machine
2) How to connect? rman target user/pwd@database catalog user/pwd@database auxiliary sys/sys OR rman target user/pwd@database auxiliary sys/sys OR other?
Thanks
Rogerio

RMAN backup at Remote server.

Hi All,
RUN {
BACKUP
INCREMENTAL LEVEL=0
FORMAT '/oracle/backup/last/%d_DBNAME_T%T'
DATABASE;
This will backup the database and will place the backup set at the location /oracle/backup/last.
But my requirement is to backup the full database and place backup set at location /oracle/backup/remote_full_backup on the remote server say(Backup server).
what kind of changes i have to make in the existing backup script in order to achieve this task.
DB Version:10.2.0.1
OS:LINUX.
Thanks.

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
2> {
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.

Creating a new controlfile with datafiles in RMAN backup

Hi,
i am using oracle 10g (10.2.0.1) in RHEL5 server. i am trying to restore a RMAN backup from one server to another new server with new db name. i have taken out the spfile from RMAN autobackup and created pfile from it and edited the pfile with new dbname and directory structure and started the db in nomount with the new pfile. Now i have restored the controfile from the RMAN autobackup tried to put the database in mount state. But it failed due to the below error
RMAN-03002: failure of alter db command at 11/05/2012 21:44:56
ORA-01103: database name 'ORADB' in control file is not 'DEVDB'
Hence i shutdown the database and started the db in nomount with new pfile and tried to create the controlfile with the new db name,but it failed as it is looking for the datafiles.
ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
ORA-01565: error in identifying file
'/u01/app/oracle/oradata/DEVDB/datafile/o1_mf_system_80jq0kfw_.dbf'
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory
Additional information: 3
All my datafiles reside in my RMAN backup. How to get the datafiles from RMAN backup in the above scenario??
Regards,
007

Hello;
The location and filename and DBIS will be different, but you need something like this :
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman << EOF
CONNECT TARGET /
STARTUP NOMOUNT;
SET DBID 3754763357; #DBID of PROD database
RUN
   ALLOCATE CHANNEL c1 DEVICE TYPE disk format '/u01/oradata/backups';
   RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM '/u01/oradata/backups/sb_t790762003_s85_p1';
   ALTER DATABASE MOUNT;
   SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 1 TO '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/CLONE/system01.dbf';
    SET NEWNAME FOR TEMPFILE 1 TO '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/CLONE/temp01.dbf';
   RESTORE DATABASE;
   SWITCH DATAFILE ALL;
   RECOVER DATABASE;
   release channel c1;
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS; So you need "SET NEWNAME" for all your files
