Rman full backup issue

Hi,
The Media Management Layer GUI shows that my RMAN incremental level 0 (full) finished successfuly in the last 3 weeks.
Yet , V$RMAN_BACKUP_JOB_DETAILS shows only incremental level 1 and archive log backups :
SQL> select distinct input_type
  2   from V$RMAN_BACKUP_JOB_DETAILS ;
INPUT_TYPE
ARCHIVELOG
DB INCRIt does not shows DB FULL .
What elese i can check to be sure that my Full backups are finished successfully ?
Thanks

Hi,
From the results of this statments i dont see DB FULL
SQL> select distinct object_type from v$rman_status where operation='BACKUP';
OBJECT_TYPE
DB INCR
CONTROLFILE
ARCHIVELOGIn the second suggested query , the output results suggest for FULL backup :
select ctime "Date",
       decode(backup_type, 'L', 'Archive Log', 'D', 'Full', 'Incremental') backup_type,
        bsize "Size MB"
from (select trunc(bp.completion_time) ctime
              , backup_type
              , round(sum(bp.bytes/1024/1024),2) bsize
       from v$backup_set bs, v$backup_piece bp
       where bs.set_stamp = bp.set_stamp
       and bs.set_count  = bp.set_count
       and bp.status = 'A'
       group by trunc(bp.completion_time), backup_type)
order by 1, 2;

How come ?
Also how can i be sure that this FULL backup finished successfully ?
Thanks Again for you help

  • 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 full backup and restoration

    Hi,
    I am planning to upgrade a oracle 10.2.0.2 RAC database to 10.2.0.4.
    If i get any issues during oracle upgradation we need to revert back to 10.2.0.2 again.
    I am not pretty perfect in RMAN, so please let me know
    1) DO I need to take the full backup of RMAN?
    2) Should I take cold backup or hot backup?
    3) If my upgradation fails, how to come back to 10.2.0.2 again by using rman backup?
    Thanks,
    Mahi

    Hi,
    My new Oracle Home location is different from the old Oracle Home location.Huh? You would apply the patchset to an existing ORACLE_HOME. Where does this different location come in?
    and what operating system are we talking about here?
    >
    Is any one please explain me how to revert back to old 10.2.0.2 database with the RMAN backup if get strucked up during the upgradation.
    If you please explain with the rman commands then that could be great help for me.
    Have you taken a look at the Backup and Recovery Reference?

  • Rman full backup, crash and full restore?

    Hi,
    I try to implement a simple backup and restore process with rman. Ok, with rman it's not simple. ;-)
    My aim is to backup a database with a full backup and restore it from this backup, for example when it crashes.
    Ok, for creating the backup I use this rman script:
    run
    allocate channel t1 type disk;
    backup incremental level 0 format 'PATHTOBAKFILE' database;
    release channel t1;
    The result is a 1GB large backupfile.
    Now I delete the whole database and create a new one to simulate a crash.
    After this is done, I want to restore the state of the database which is frozen in the backupfile.
    Therefor I use the following rman script:
    run
    allocate channel t1 type disk format 'PATHTOBACKUPFILE';
    shutdown immediate;
    startup mount;
    restore database;
    recover database;
    alter database open resetlogs;
    release channel t1;
    Now rman tells me an error:
    RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
    RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
    RMAN-00571: ===========================================================

    RMAN-06023: Kein Backup bzw. keine Kopie der Datendatei 1 zum Wiederherstellen gefunden
    In english: No backup or copy of datafile X where found for restore.
    I think the backup/restore possibilities with rman are very complex and I don't exactly understand which is the right backup strategie. I'm not an oracle specialist. Maybe someone can give me a hint.
    My program should backup the database full, differential and incremental and also restore only by using the given backupfiles. So I want somethink like Point-In-Time recovery, but rman should use the time-point of the given backupfile. And this backupfiles are stored outside oracle, e.g. on a server or somethink like this.
    Thanks a lot for help.
    Best regards,
    Ronny

  • New to Oracle, why RMAN full backup has 3 backup files?

    vendor set up the Oracle, but I noticed the backup has 3 files each time. not sure why.

    A "LIST BACKUP" at the RMAN command line would show the contents of each of the BackupSets, BackupPieces.
    When you run a BACKUP, RMAN does show, on-screen or to the log file if you redirect to a log, which datafiles are included in which BackupSet.
    When you RESTORE DATABASE or RESTORE ARCHIVELOG RMAN reads the repository and identifies the BackupPieces automatically for each BackupSet . You do not need to specify them. However, if you are restoring a Controlfile, you could specifically identify where you want to restore the controlfile from -- because the default behaviour is to restore only the latest controlfile backup, but you might choose to restore an older controlfile. This can be done with the SET UNTIL clause or RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM 'nameofbackuppiece' command.

  • RMAN Full  Hot Backup Daily

    Hi,
    I have Production Database going to live this week..
    this is my RMAN Backup script for taking daily Full Hot Backup night 12pm...
    I have enabled FLASH_RECOVERY_AREA
    DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST=/backup/flash_recovery_area
    log_archive_dest=/backup/archivelog
    log_archive_format='arch_%d_%S_%T';
    =========================================================
    rman target=/
    configure controlfile autobackup on;
    run
    allocate channel c1 device type disk;
    crosscheck backup;
    backup as compressed backupset database;
    sql 'alter system switch logfile';
    crosscheck backup;
    release channel c1;
    exit
    ===========================================================
    Above script is scheduled usgin cron job...
    =============================================================
    Here I am not taking the archive logs backup...because..by default..archive logs are created in 2 places
    (a) FLASH RECOVERY AREA
    (b) /backup/archivelog
    so archive logs are created by date wise in Flash Recovery Area....
    I have flash recovery area structure like this for ever day
    /backup/flash_recovery_area/PROD/archivelog/29_09_2007
    /backup/flash_recovery_area/PROD/autobackup/29_09_2007
    /backup/flash_recovery_area/PROD/archivelog/30_09_2007
    /backup/flash_recovery_area/PROD/autobackup/30_09_2007
    Above are 2 days backups of 29th and 30th....
    I can simply send those 30_09_2007 and 29_09_2007 directories to TAPE Drive....
    =======================================================================
    When disaster recovery, i can restore those directories to flash_recovery_area and do the recovery using rman...
    =============================================
    Friends...am i goin in correct way..if anything wrong...please correct me..
    my doubt is..I am not used any command of backuping up archivelogs in rman script.......becasue..archive logs are created in flash_recovery_area by date wise......
    am i correct..

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply,
    My requirement is......Full Hot Backup daily at 2 AM......Daily i have to take this...so i scheduled this using cron job......I need to maintain 7 days backup in backup location.....
    Here is my script
    # Export Environment Variables
    export ORACLE_HOME=/oradata/oracle
    export ORACLE_SID=PROD
    export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
    # RMAN Full Backup
    rman target / catalog rman/rman << EOF
    configure controlfile autobackup on;
    configure retention policy to redundancy 7;
    run
    crosscheck backup;
    backup as compressed backupset database;
    sql 'alter system switch logfile';
    backup as compressed backupset archivelog all;
    backup as compressed backupset current controlfile;
    crosscheck backup;
    crosscheck archivelog all;
    delete noprompt obsolete;
    delete noprompt expired backup;

  • Still need to do full backup after using data guard?

    In our system, there is a physical standby database in data guard configuration. Is there still a need to do full backup and incremental backup?

    Jackliusr wrote:

    May be you can perform failover of your standby, in case there is no availability on primary database. Then do you think the standby system stability is same as primary and can give same performance?
    standby location can be too far and this is only if in case of disaster.
    Another case, lets suppose your standby is behind than primary for 4-5 days due to some issues. At the same time your production crashed then you may have chance to loose 4-5 days fo data. So recommended to have full backup always from primary database.
    If you are checking stability of standby database daily and able to check your data by opening properly and you wont prefer to RMAN backup, Then it is fine. But it is highly recommended to have RMAN backup.
    BTW, You can have RMAN full backup on standby, if you want to avoid resources to use on primary

  • Recover from full backup

    Hi,
    I want to recover a tablespace from a RMAN full backup. Now the related schema has many truncated objects (in a bach process), so normal tablespace restore, recovery won't help. Have to go for TSPITR. But the time I can't fix. Is there any other way to recover the tablespace other than point-in-time recovery ?

    Hi Hemant,
    When I run the TSIPTR recovery I am getting error,
    RMAN> run {
    ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch00 TYPE 'SBT_TAPE';
    SEND 'NB_ORA_CLIENT=UBIHQ,NB_ORA_SERV=UBIHQ';

  • Cloning DB on a different server from RMAN Tape backup

    RDBMS version           : 11.2.0.2 on Solaris 10
    Media Management Layer : Netbackup v7
    I have done only backups to Tape. I have never done restore,recovery from Tape.
    We have a production DB named NEHPROD running on server qualmh214. Every Monday morning an RMAN Full backup for NEHPROD is taken to Tape.
    Production server : qualmh214        DB Name:NEHPROD
    run
    ALLOCATE CHANNEL c1 TYPE 'SBT_TAPE';
    SEND 'NB_ORA_CLIENT=qualmh214,NB_ORA_POLICY=qualmh214_rman,NB_ORA_SERV=qualmh238,NB_ORA_SCHED=Daily';
    backup database   FORMAT 'NEHPROD_%d_%U_%t.rbk' tag='NEHPROD_full';
    }I need to create a Test DB in a different server (qualmh199) by restoring directly from NEHPROD's Full backup in tape .
    From qualmh199, how can I connect to the Tape Media server ?
    Even If I do connect to the Tape media server, how can i get access to tape backups of another DB? In the RMAN run block you can't specify a DB name. Right?
    Even if I get access to another DB's backup , How can i specify which Date's Full backup I need to use to restore ?

    From qualmh199, how can I connect to the Tape Media server ?You have to allocate channels to tape & need to mention NB parameters as example below.
    in RMAN script
    ALLOCATE CHANNEL CH1 DEVICE TYPE SBT_TAPE PARMS 'SBT_LIBRARY=/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/libobk.so64';
    SEND 'NB_ORA_SERV=<server.com>, NB_ORA_CLIENT=<target.server>';
    Even If I do connect to the Tape media server, how can i get access to tape backups of another DB? In the RMAN run block you can't specify a DB name. Right?If the libraries are installed and you able to perform, you can go for either duplicate database or simple RMAN restore. You can mention other DB names also
    Ex: duplicate target database to 'test';
    Even if I get access to another DB's backup , How can i specify which Date's Full backup I need to use to restore ?You can mention TAG's if you are using RMAN restore.

  • RMAN Backup Issue when Full backup file was missing

    Hi,
    On : 11.2.0.2 version, Recovery Manager
    RMAN Backup issue
    Last week we had the NFS Issue where we backup the files onto NFS.
    The problem occurred in the below sequence
    Saturday the backup was successful
    Saturday before deleting the backup files they are copied to tape
    Deleting the backup files via OS command
    Sunday Full backup started but due the NFS issue backup failed(Killed the instance and restarted)
    Did the RMAN Incremental backup which worked on Monday
    On Tuesday RMAN started complaining and started doing the Full backup.
    no parent backup or copy of datafile 1 found
    no parent backup or copy of datafile 3 found
    no parent backup or copy of datafile 24 foundSony any idea why the Incremental backup worked on Monday but not on Tuesday
    Regards
    NM

    Ok here is why I would like exact filenames..
    1) to speed the time of recovery. I am much more familiar with traditional recovery methods than RMAN, and while I myself installed and suggested RMAN for backups, our other (11i) database does not use RMAN and so I am more familiar with traditional recovery. So to be able to recover quickly I want to have these files as close as possible to the original names so that I can use my standard script (from a trace file) to recreate the control fiile. If I can get RMAN to spit out the filies with original names but keep RMAN for making the backup, I may ditch the rman bacjup script in chron and write a traditional hot backup script which copies the files the old fashioned way.
    2) to reduce cloning time. The RMAN duplicate command is not as good as I thought. I was actually easier for me to restore RMAN backups first to a box that has all the same paths, and THEN shutdown (cold) these files and copy them cold to another server, and restore from there. Agaiin if I can get the original file names, I could choose to do recovery either way (RMAN or traditional) in a real emergency instead of being forced to use rman.
    3) to be able to switch to a backup file in the FRA without having to rename it. Seems logical if it is already named correctly.
    thanks ! Marvi

    The cause is simple, the database has not been shutdown cleanly. You will require to restart the database and shutdown again, if in a RAC you will have to shutdown all instances cleanly.
    Disabing archive log and attempting to backup the database will demonstrate the cause.

  • RMAN - Is it possible to run Archivelog Backup while Full backup is running

    Hi,
    Our full database backups runs daily in the night. It fails whenever an archivelog backup kicks off. This happens on our big databases where backups run for long hours and we have to run the archivelog backup to backup/delete the archivelogs to maintain the archivelog destinations.
    Is there any way to run these 2 backups in parallel without both failing. We use RMAN catalog to take backups, and we get errors when resyncing of catalog happens during backup.
    We get these errors:-
    RMAN-00571: ===========================================================

    ORA-00230: operation disallowed: snapshot control file enqueue unavailable
    Our archivelog destinations are not big enough to hold more than 1 days of logs and we have backups that runs for 30 hours. We have to backup and delete the archivelogs in between, while the full backup is running and right now its failing with able errors. Is there any solution or workaround I can opt for in this scenario.
    Any help is Highly appreciated. Thanks in advance for the Help.
    Thanks,
    Vish

    Your primary issue is SPACE. Allocate sufficient space to keep at a MINIMUM 4 days worth of archivelogs ONLINE.
    Use multiple channels
    you will need to test your system to see where you get optimal throughput.
    Use compression
    you will need to test your system to see where you get optimal throughput.
    Use disk-disk backups (and sweep to tape later)...
    If RAC, 11gR2 - consider ACFS (stored in ASM as well as OS accessible).
    Anything less and you could be issuing the command "alter dba update resume".
    Database management is not something that should be approached lightly... If you don't have the resources - maybe you need to trim the data or if the business requires that data volume, then the business needs to allocate sufficient resources to stay in business. Catastrophic database failures and the businesses ignorance on the importance of their data is a huge contributor business failures. At one point (not sure of the latest figures) if a business suffered such a data loss, they rarely stayed in business for more than a year.
    Storage is MUCH cheaper and the proper configuration and allocation of those resources than a company failure.

  • Rman Full and Archivelog backups

    I am scripting my rman stuff and it's part of a much larger Perl maintenance. I have nightly and hourly jobs. Nightly will do a full backup and hourly will do archivelog backup. Full backups take about 2-3 hours.
    My question is: is there a problem with running archivelog backups be running while I am doing a full backup. If system resources are not an issues, what are some arguments for or against it?

    Thanks Tychos.
    That is something that I've debated - if my full would be with Plus ArchiveLog or not. So, I've decided not to backup the log during a full backup.
    This is for my nightly:
    open (RMAN, "| rman target sys/$SYPASS\@$CSID catalog rman/$CATPSS\@catalog >$Rlog");
    print RMAN <<"END";
    run {
    allocate channel d1 device type disk format \'$HBDir/$HBFiles\';
    set controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to \'$HBDir/$ControlFile\';
    backup as compressed backupset database;
    crosscheck backup;
    delete noprompt obsolete;
    report need backup;}
    END
    close (RMAN);
    This is the hourly:
    open (RMAN, "| rman target sys/$SYPASS\@$CSID catalog rman/$CATPSS\@catalog >$Rlog");
    print RMAN <<"END";
    run {
    allocate channel d1 device type disk format \'$TempArchHBDir/$BUFile\';
    CROSSCHECK ARCHIVELOG ALL;
    set controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to \'$HBDir/$ControlFile\';
    backup archivelog all not backed up 1 times delete input;
    END
    close (RMAN);
