RMAN - Last Successful backup

Dear Experts,
RDBMS - 11.1.0.7
I would like to know if anyone of you have experienced this issue.
Below is my backup report (queried from recovery catalog) and see DB1 database, I see Last successful Incremental backup date showing 01/01/0001 while the actual date was from a week back. However, Archivelog backup shows correct dates. Any thoughts?

RMAN Last Completed Backup recorded in any table/view?

Hi Friends,
we are running RMAN backup of Full Database every day on 11g R2 Database.
I would like to know where can i query the last completed backup date/time (in any table/view...) so that i will put a script to query that table/view to verify that the backup is completed .
Regards,
DB

Hello;
if you are using a catalog you can try this :
select
        db_name,
        start_time,
        end_time,
        status,
        time_taken_display,
        output_bytes_display,
        output_device_type,
        session_key,
        session_recid,
        session_stamp
from rc_rman_backup_job_details where end_time > sysdate -1If you not using a catalog V$RMAN_BACKUP_JOB_DETAILS should provide similar information.

TS3992 I keep getting an error message "the last backup could not be completed" every time I try to backup my iPhone manually. It's been almost two months since the last successful backup!

My iPhone 4s will not backup. I've tried repeatedly but keep getting the message "the last backup could not be completed". It's been nearly two months since the
last backup. However, my iPad2 is backing up perfectly. Any thoughts???????

Try the following steps:
Plug your iPod Touch to your Mac/PC using USB cable.
Open iTunes software and choose “backup to this computer” .
Then you need to do a sysncing.
Go to iCloud (iPod Touch: Settings > iCloud) and delete all previous backups.
Then in iTunes, Turn on “backup to iCloud” again.
On your iOS device, now you are able to backup to iCloud.

A script that will query for the last successful backup to tape across all protected datasources

I've searched trying to locate an existing script for this and come up empty so far but essentially what I am trying to do is have a script I can run that will query for the latest backup to tape that succeeded for each data source across all of the protection
groups then output that time/date for each to a file.
I'm extremely new to scripting so I am unsure of how to go about getting started with this so any help would be greatly appreciated!

this should work
foreach ($DS in $DSList)
$RP=$DS | Get-RecoveryPoint | where {$_.Location -eq "Media"} | Sort-Object -Property Backuptime -Descending | select -First 1 | select *
$Tape=Get-DPMTape -DPMLibrary $Library | where {$_.ID -eq $Rp.RecoverySourceLocations.MediaMapList.MediaId}

plz suggest how can I take online backup and redo log backup.

Hi Shrinivas,
Are you taking backup from the local tape device or from 3rd party software.
I cannot clearly what is the exact problem, Your saying either Db12 the status is mot shown then asking for how to take the backup.
If a backup device is properly configured in the system, then you can take online and offline backup by scheduling in the DB13 tcode.
Pls state the exact problems so that it is easy to provide the solution.

Rman restore from last week backup

Hi guys
i need to restore last week rman backup from .. we are not using catalog database.
i need to restore it on same machine with diff mount point ..
i know i can use tag option of restore specifically last week backup but its production restore so thought if anybody can give me list of steps i need to follow .. anybody who has done this before.
do i have to fire resetlogs at the end as its incomplete recovery .. i need last saturday backup .. don't want monday backup on top of it.
please help me in this.
Regards

You have to ensure that your controlfile, redo log file and database file locations are different from your production database.
Ensure that your instance parameter file specifies a different location for control_files
Use db_file_name_convert -- however, I prefer to explicitly name a new location for each datafile, in case your database files are spread across multiple directories and you miss one or more in db_file_name_convert. (you don't want RMAN to restore datafiles from the backup to the current locations and overwrite your production database files !)

What to do if there is abrupt termination of RMAN during a backup session

Hi All,
I am trying to automate the Level 0 and Level 1 backups which we ought to take. Following the is the RMAN related part of it for L1 backup:
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;"
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '${BKP_LOCATION}/${LType}_%F';"
run {"
allocate channel c1 type disk;"
backup"
incremental level 1 cumulative tag = $BTAG"
format '${BKP_LOCATION}/${LType}_%d_set%s_piece%p_%T_%U.bkp'"
(database include current controlfile tag $CTAG) ;"
sql 'alter system archive log current';"
sql 'alter system archive log current';"
backup archivelog from sequence ${CSEQ} tag $ATAG"
format '${BKP_LOCATION}/${LType}_Arch_%d_set%s_piece%p_%T_%U.bkp';"
release channel c1;"
exit;"
In the above snippet, the variables are substituted for within a shell script and then put into a command file for RMAN. I am a novice in the backup and recovery. I got above piece of code from someone working on RMAN and built my automation logic around it.
The script works fine and I am trying to build to script level recovery feature around it. My question is:
-- What happens if I invoke the script, the backup session starts and then there is abrupt termination of the RMAN session either because of losing the db connection or receiving an interrupt signal or a kill signal or some other weird reason.
-- What if I re-invoke my script? Will it start from the point where it was stopped earlier or would it start from the point where we had last successful Level 1 backup completed?
Thanks in Advance.

Hi user781131,
What happens if I invoke the script, the backup session starts and then there is abrupt termination of the RMAN session either because of losing the db
connection or receiving an interrupt signal or a kill signal or some other weird reason?The backup set which rman was creating is not commited due to the abnormal termination but all succesfull backup sets can be used.
What if I re-invoke my script? Will it start from the point where it was stopped earlier or would it start from the point where we had last successful Level 1 backup
completed?In your backup script you do not use the < NOT BACKED UP SINCE TIME > clause so it will again do a level 1 backup off all datafiles.
See:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14194/rcmsynta009.htm#i1017236
This option is a convenient way to back up files that were not backed up during a previous failed backup. For example, you back up the database, but the instance fails halfway through. You can restart the backup with the NOT BACKED UP SINCE TIME clause and avoid backing up those files that you already backed up. If AS BACKUPSET is set, then this feature is only useful if RMAN generates multiple backup sets during the backup.

Tycho

If I need a full rman restore which backups will it use?

Hello,
I have a database 11.1.0.7 with 8TB. Block change tracking is enabled.
At the weekend I take level 0 backup and during the week level 1 cumulative.
For some weeks the level 0 backup is failing, so I only have level 1 cumulative backups taken every week day with a 4 weeks old level 0 backup.
If I need a full rman restore which backups will it use? Will it be the last level 0 backup with the last level 1 cumulative?
I ask this because grid crontrol tells me that the recent level 1 backups input size is smaller than last week level 1 backups and in between I dont have any level 0 sucessfull backups. Shouldn't the input size of level 1 cumulative increase until the next level 0 backup ?
The grid reports:

If I need a full rman restore which backups will it use? Will it be the last level 0 backup with the last level 1 cumulative?
From http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28270/rcmvalid.htm
Validating Backups Before Restoring Them
You can run RESTORE ... VALIDATE to test whether RMAN can restore a specific file or set of files from a backup. RMAN chooses which backups to use.
The database must be mounted or open for this command. You do not have to take datafiles offline when validating the restore of datafiles, because validation of backups of the datafiles only reads the backups and does not affect the production datafiles.
When validating files on disk or tape, RMAN reads all blocks in the backup piece or image copy. RMAN also validates offsite backups. The validation is identical to a real restore operation except that RMAN does not write output files.
You can monitor what RESTORE VALIDATE does.
Make precautions, so you do not damage the production DB!!!

RMAN REOPRT NEED BACKUP

i do not really understand the 'INCREMENTAL' option of "RMAN REOPRT NEED BACKUP" command.
like the one below:
RMAN> REPORT NEED BACKUP INCREMENTAL 3 DATABASE;
Whats the significance of the word 'INCREMENTAL' .
I need help please.
thank you

Yes, of course.
An incremental backup is a partial backup. It doesn't contain the entire database, just those bits of the database which have changed since the last appropriate backup.
That's why you can't just restore an incremental backup and open your database: the backup you've just restored only has some of the database blocks in it.
Imagine Monday's backup happens to capture blocks 5, 10, 15, 20, 25... and so on.
Tuesday's backup captures blocks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12.. and so on
Wednesdays captures blocks 1, 3, 7, 9, 11 and so on.
On Thursday, you lose File 1. To restore it, you need blocks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. Getting all those blocks means loading Monday's tape and restoring block 5; loading Tuesday's tape and restoring blocks 2, 4 and 6; and finally loading Wednesday's tape and restoring blocks 1, 3 and 7.
You get everything back, but it takes you three goes and lots of tape loading.
Alternatively, On Thursday morning I could do a new complete backup (that therefore includes blocks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9... and so on). When I lose File 1 on Thursday afternoon, I simply have to restore blocks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 from the one Thursday morning tape.
The command you first asked about understands that the incremental restore process is a slow way of doing things and is suggesting to you that anything listed could do with a nice, new complete backup so that you would be able to restore from that new backup rather than the three old ones.

RMAN and consistent backup

Hi,
in10g, I stop my DB and make a cold backup of my database (it's then a consistent backup).
Can RMAN use this backup ? How ?
Thank you.

Yes, you can use a Cold Backup that was not taken by RMAN -- provided that you have the controlfile included in the backup. In RMAN you'd have to CATALOG each of the files in the backup as DATAFILE COPYies before RMAN can be "aware" of them.
If the backup was taken with an OS command, you simple use the revers e to restore it. If your backup did not include the Online Redo Logs, you'd need to use
STARTUP MOUNT
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER
CANCEL
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGSin SQLPlus.
If you want to Apply ArchiveLogs generated after the backup, then don't open resetlogs !
continue with
RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCELand CANCEL when you have applied the last available archivelog, after which you will
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGSHemant K Chitale

Rman Recovery using backup created using dbconsole

Thanks for taking my questions. First, I see there is another person asking about rman recovery but I am hoping mine is not identical.
BACKGROUND
Archiving and flashback is on.
Database is 11g.
Full on-line database backup is done using dbconsole (oem) and includes control, spfile and archive logs.
RECOVERY
I am testing my recovery to a new serve.
I installed oracle
Restored a backupset from one backup to the new servers flashbackup area.
Recovered the spfile ok
Recovered the control file ok
Found last seq number ok
Restore database ok
RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL SEQUENCE - NOT OK
Error=DATAFILE 1 MUST BE RESTORED FROM BACKUP OLDER THAN SCN
QUESTIONS
Where did I go wrong?
Could it be my rman backup didn't backup all necessary archive logs?
How do I fix this and can I fix it using dbconsole?
Also, is it still possible to fix the test server without loading any new files?
Thanks!
Kathie

Hello,
To answer your questions, it looks like your backup is out of sync with SCN for datafiles with your Oracle 11g database.
What you need to do is first check the low SCN and current SCN for your database to that in your RMAN backup files.
You can check backups in RMAN command line with
RMAN> list backup;
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog

Then open another prompt window and SQL*PLUS session as sysdba privileged account:
SQL> select name, current_scn from v$database;

ORCL 4089528
You need to make sure that you are trying to restore database with RMAN with a backup for the SCN numbers that are older than the current database SCN in database or Oracle will complain.
Enterprise Manager dbconsole will work but nothing beats the power of a command line.
Use the automated repair options for the Oracle 11g Database Repair advisors.
1. Connect to RMAN
rman target=/
RMAN> list failure;
RMAN> repair failure preview;
RMAN> repair failure;
For more details, Arup Nanda has a good overview of RMAN with Oracle 11g:

Hope this helps you out.

Since installing OS X Yosemite recovery update v.1 on 10/04/15 I have had "Back-up failure" messages. Last successful back-up was 10/04/15 before update. Any suggestions?

Since installing:
a) OS X Yosemite Recovery update v.1; b) OS X Update v.10.10.3 & c) iTunes v.12.1.2 on 10/04/15I have been getting this message.
"Back up Failed - There is not enough space on Time Machine Backup"
The last successful back-up was on the 10/04/15 presumably just prior to these new updates.
Any suggestions?

Time Machine automatically deletes old snapshots to make room for new ones, but it won't delete the last previous snapshot of any disk.
Are you storing any other data on the backup volume, or have you ever backed up another disk or computer to it that you no longer have? If the answer to both these questions in "no," then there isn't enough space on the volume for all the data you want to back up.
If you are storing other data, or if you have backups of a volume you no longer need, you should move or delete that data to make room for more. Alternatively, put the device aside and start a new backup on another storage device. When you're sure you'll no longer need the data on the first device, erase it and start over.
