RMAN LIST backup and maintain backup.

Hi Experts,
Currently we have some changes on the rman retention policy from 168days to 90days.
RMAN Retention policy is:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 14 DAYS;
And RMAN Scripts monthly backup is:
run
allocate channel t1 type 'sbt_tape' parms
'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpo_monthly.opt)';
backup as compressed backupset database tag ${SID}_MONTHLY keep until time 'sysdate+168';
release channel t1;
I believe I still have the old backup after I changed the 'sysdate+168' to 'sysdate+90'; on my scripts
How do I manage to delete this ?
Using, List backup and list backup summary will prompt me very long line and window,
How do I create the CONFIGURE settings I can remove the allocate channel... on my scripts ?
Cheers,
Raff

Hi mseberg,
I have executed as your advised below, but somehow it doesnt get the files.
Is there any way to check what is the oldest backup that available ?
RMAN> DELETE noprompt BACKUP COMPLETED BEFORE 'SYSDATE-90';
allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
channel ORA_DISK_1: SID=100 device type=DISK
allocated channel: ORA_SBT_TAPE_1
channel ORA_SBT_TAPE_1: SID=138 device type=SBT_TAPE
channel ORA_SBT_TAPE_1: Data Protection for Oracle: version 5.5.1.0
specification does not match any backup in the repository
RMAN> DELETE EXPIRED BACKUP;
using channel ORA_DISK_1
using channel ORA_SBT_TAPE_1
specification does not match any backup in the repository
RMAN> DELETE FORCE NOPROMPT BACKUP COMPLETED BEFORE 'SYSDATE-90';
using channel ORA_DISK_1
using channel ORA_SBT_TAPE_1

What would happen if I turn off my backup and delete backup data From my device? Will it delete my music and everything for ever or just stay in the cloud but not on my device?

What would happen if I turn off my backup and delete backup data From my device? Will it delete my music and everything for ever or just stay in the cloud but not on my device?

If you have multiple devices backing up to the Cloud, you will see all of them listed. You would click on each device to change what is backed up from that device. You can then delete your individual back-ups.
Once you have all your settings to your liking, you can then go back to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, and click on Back Up Now (bottom of the screen) to create a fresh backup with your new settings.

It seems like Ethernet backup and Airport backup goes in different ways

Since one month a go, I've been having problems with Time Machine backup over Time Capsule.
When I run Time Machine through Ethernet, there is no problem. Fast and clean. In the Console there is not any error message.
I unplug ethernet cable, start airport, and in the next copy appears: "Bulk settings atributes failled", several times. Few backups after it will appear problems with a "file path" and few after will appear "deep traversal".
I plug the Ethernet cable, disconnect airport and I forced to re-index the image bundle. Few backups correct with Ethernet. Unplug ethernet, connect airport, and again the same history.
It seems like Ethernet backup and Airport backup goes in different ways.
Permissions are corrected and there is no problems in any disc with First Aid.
¿Any idea?. Thanks in advance.

I am having the same issue. I have three layered elements as three columns in the body of the page. When I add the farthest right element it pushes the other left elements to the bottom of the page. There are aren't any other elements on the page.
Is this a CSS issue? I thought about exporting to Dreamweaver and fixing it there but would like to take the easy route first.

Time Machine stuck on "preparing backup" and "Indexing Backup" after forced restart and install from Lion

Hello!
I have been using Time Machine on the Time Capsule for over a month now and no problems. However when I was installing Lion it had to restart. I did not see that Time Machine was going at the time when I pushed restart until it was too late.
Now Time Machine seems to be stuck on "Preparing Backup" and "Indexing Backups". It has been nearly 20-30 minutes for Indexing and I wonder if I corrupted something or something else. If there a way I can solve this problem? Thanks!

I had this same problem, this is going to sound ridiculous but this is what I finally did. I wiped my backup, crazy right?
It's there for when your hard drive crashes, so it's not like you are going to miss much if you wipe it. Tell it to stop backing up, go to disk utility, click your external and then erase it. Go back to time machine settings and reselect it as your backup drive. It will do an initial back up again and you are good to go.
Hope this helps.

Restoring a catalog from backup and incremental backups on external Hard drive

Hello!
I recently bought a new computer where I installed again Elements 8 (that's the one I'm currently using). From my old computer, I have an initial complete catalog backup which was saved in a folder (I called this folder "Complete catalog backup") on an external hard drive. I also made then subsequent incremental backups which were saved in different folders called "Incremental backup 1", "incremental backup 2" etc. on the same external hard drive. Apparently in Element, I discovered that incremental backups can't be saved in the same folder as initial complete backup!
How should I proceed now to restore my catalog on my new computer? I know how to do it when one has only a complete initial catalog backup, but now I have also several incremental backups (contained in folders "incremental backup 1", "incremental backup 2" etc.), I just don't know how to proceed.
Some help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks a lot

First and foremost: Forget re-importing. You would loose all your edits. Importing is strictly only for images that have never been imported before.
The remedy for "missing" photos is to re-link them.
In Lr / Grid View right-click the top-most folder in the folders panel. By "top-most" I mean the parent folders of all folders. If you have several parent folder right-click one of them.
Then select <Find Missing Folder>, navigate to the corresponding folder on your new drive E and select it. Do this for every other parent folder. If the folder names and structure haven't changed Lr will find the sub-folders on its own.

Differential backup and tlog backup

Hi,
What is the advantage of doing a differential backup along with transactional log backup? For instance, if I'm planning on doing a weekly full backup and daily transactional log backups what does doing an differential backup get me? Does it make restoring
faster? Is it better to have that differential in case one of the transactional log backups are corrupt?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Phil

Phil,
The best use of Differential backup is to reduce the RTO. It does not have any much special meaning. There is no disadvantage as such apart from disk getting filled with too many diff backups.
It makes restoring faster in sense that you have to restore fewer numbers of backup and this decreases time to bring DB online when disaster strikes.
Is it better to have that differential in case one of the transactional log backups are corrupt?
If transaction log is corrupt there are chances that differential backup could also be corrupt. Your question does not have actual meaning. I guess you wanted to ask can we skip transaction log backup and restore latest Diff backup. Well you can as long
as it is not corrupt.
Please mark this reply as answer if it solved your issue or vote as helpful if it helped so that other forum members can benefit from it

Time Machine backup and Manual Backups

I currently am using a external drive for Time Machine backups and was wondering if I could take say my iTunes library that I have on another External drive and store it on the same drive that Time Machine is backing up to. Is this possible or will Time Machine take over the whole drive not letting me add different files and folders I want to back up myself? Thanks in advance.

You can do that.
(with this caveat):
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/11421.html
Note: Time Machine works best if you use your backup disk only for Time Machine backups. If you keep files on your backup disk, Time Machine won’t back up those files, and the space available for Time Machine backups will be reduced.

Removing icloud backup and restoring backup to ipad

My dad has an ipad air. He has been using icloud backup. For some reason he has decided that he doesn't want to use the icloud backup, but of course he doesn't know how to get out of it or how to just use a backup from his computer. He has asked me to help him, lucky me, I have to ask everyone for help.
I believe he can manually back-up to his computer from his ipad using itunes. First of all, does that in fact back up everything from his ipad?
If I understand correctly, if he deletes the icloud backup, then everything that icloud has backed up is also deleted from his ipad? Is that correct?
If so how should he proceed: Should he first make sure he has a correct backup of his ipad through itunes to his computer, assuming that this backup automatically backs up everything. Then, does he delete everything that icloud has backed up on his ipad under "managing storage". If he turns off Photos and Documents and Data under the icloud account then a message comes up saying that all documents and data stored in icloud will be deleted from this ipad. So, he wants to be sure that if he restores through itunes that everything gets put back on his ipad.
This is confusing to me. I just want to be sure that he doesn't end up losing anything in the process.
Any easy procedures to help me do this for him without causing headaches or loss of data would be appreciated. I have tried searching on help topics and ipad and itunes help, but it gets rather overwhelming. I know I can just turn off icloud backups so that it doesn't do that anymore, the problem is that my dad doesn't want the stuff in icloud that is already there to stay there.
Thanks.

Are you sure it's done restoring? Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup and scroll to the very bottom. It will say Restoring iPhone if it isn't finished.

BR0278E - Access denied in oracle backup and redolog backup

Hello All,
I have been trying to take a redolog backup from DB13 and I am getting the below error
BR0278E Command output of 'E: && cd E:\oracle\QAS\102\database && E:\usr\sap\QAS\SYS\exe\uc\NTAMD64\brtools.exe -f copyfile

In my findings I understood that it may be a hardware inconsistency from the note 17163.
BR0278E Command output of '%s': %s
BR0278E Kommando-Ausgabe von '%s': %s
Explanation: The error messages of this command are displayed. In most cases they are messages from the cpio or mt commands. The following are examples:
Sample messages:
Message/Explanation
cpio:cannot read...
cpio:read error...
cpio:can't read input...
cpio:I/O Error...
cpio:read failed:I/O Error.
The file to be backed up cannot be read. In most cases, this is due to hardware problems on the disk on which the file is stored.
But if i take the archievlog backup using brtools in command prompt level and its working fine and also its getting completed succefully.
I gave the full rights of administrator, backup operators, saplocal and sapglobal admin . And also the drive was shared and the folder access is given with full authoriusation for the user SAPServiceSID.
I am not sure about the root cause of this problem.Anyone have idea on this please do suggest me.
Yesterday I posted the same thread and thought that it solved my problem and closed the thread as well, Sorry.
Vijay

Hello All,
Sorry for the late update.
I have followed the note 400241 but still not able to solve the issue. I am not able to take the backup from DB13 by using a local drive and also in the network drive. Both are getting failed due to the same reason
BR0278E Command output of 'E: && cd E:\oracle\QAS\102\database && E:\usr\sap\QAS\SYS\exe\uc\NTAMD64\brtools.exe -f copyfile
21.10.5.10\backup\Test_NEW\QAS initQAS.ora spfi
Access is denied.
I am sure I have created the service user in network drive with the same password but still no luck, even its getting failed if i try to take a local backup.
Services are running under SAPSeriveSID user and this user is also not locked.
For the past one month I am taking the backup using the BRTOOLS and dont know why this is getting failed in DB13.
Any suggestion are highly appreciable.
Regards
Vijay

Is it possible to restore just photos from a backup and specify backup?

Hello,
A friend of mine said she restored her iPAD but then set it up as a new iPAD and therefore nothing was actually restored and she lost the photos that were on the iPAD before the rebuild. She would now like to get these photos back somehow if possible.
She believes that she backed up her iPAD to her computer instead of iCLOUD so I was wondering two things:
is it possible to restore just the photos from a backup she would have done to her computer - did not backup via iCLOUD
if she can do the above is it possible to specify which backup to restore from - only ask because she might have done a backup since the rebuild and will want to restore to a backup done before this rebuild
My initial thought is that the only way she'll be able to get these photos back is to perhaps do a restore from backup - to an older backup if she can specify that - again because newer backup done will no longer include photos. Then she has her photos and can make a backup of them before rebuilding the iPAD again. A bit time consuming but if the photos are that important to her it will be worth it.
Thanks so much!

is it possible to restore just the photos from a backup she would have done to her computer - did not backup via iCLOUD
No. A restore from backup is from the entire backup or none. If there is more than one backup available, you can select which backup you want to restore the device from.
Photos in the Camera Roll, which are included with the backup, can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
There are some 3rd party paid utilities that can extract select data such as photos from an iOS backup on your computer.

Dfference between brdb6brt made backup and standard backup ?

Hi,
I just have large db and want to copy my production R3 system to test system using brdb6brt restore script. I have standard backup made by issuing "backup db db_name to /some_dir".
So, this standard backup will do, or I must recreate it using brdb6brt ?
(db is larde and I don't have much time)
thanks
Vilius

Hi,
when you generate a redirected restore script with brdb6brt, it takes the last successfull backup from the history file and enters that timestamp to the redirected restore script. When this is your "hand made" backup, it should be OK. Otherwise you can use the brdb6brt option -bm BOTH to make a backup from brdb6brt and directly create a redirect restore script on that backup. But the format of the backup itself is the same.
If your scenario is time critical, you should think about the necessarity of the appropriate logfiles when you want to rollforward. When you have an offline backup, it should be no problem.
kind regards
Thomas

Restore PC, keep iTunes backup and iPhone backups - How to?

I would like to restore my PC back to factory settings.
I've once before transfered my iTunes Library from one to another computer and even restored it on my old desktop PC, though i had some problems...
--> most of my songs got little "?" in front of them and iTunes tells me it can't find them, which is really annoying cos i am not gonna put them all back in (45gb music is no fun...)
Is there any way i am too stupid to know to prevent that from happening?
But second of all and even more important is what will happen with my iPhone and my iTouch? All the Apps and all that stuff? I would like to keep my iPhone as it is but still restore my PC...is that possible?
Thanks a lot
and i really used the search before posting this but i just couldn't find the right answer. If I appear to be too lazy to open my eyes correctly it would still be nice if you would help me by posting the link ;-)

Expired Backup: List Expired
Then use report obsolete command it show the backup that you dont need it and after that use Delete obsolete command
It will delete the backup that you dont need it.
The term obsolete does not mean the same as expired. In short obsolete means "not needed " whereas expired means "not found."

SMB and ONline backup

Hi,
In Our R/3 environment, online backup is consisting with archived logs.
Online Backup = DB Files + archived logs
When getting the SMB backup and Online Backup (BRBACKUP), will that going to backup "Online Redo Logs"
(Not Offline Redo logs - archived logs)
When checking the logfile (Online backup) in /oracle/PRD/sapbackup/beejdgaz.anf , it shows the online redologs files also. (Just show, Not saying it is backing up)
But when checking through DP, it is not mentioning that , Online Redo logs are backing up!
I just want to know , for SMB and Online backups will that include Online REDO logs? Is it possible to backup these Online Redo Logs. Since they are currently in use
regards,

Hi,
we are using:
brbackup -t online -d util_file -c -m all -u
brbackup issues below commands which will switch your online logs to offline.
Switching to next online redo log file for database instance <SID> ...
Switch to next online redo log file for database instance <SID> successful
ARCHIVE LOG LIST after backup for database instance <SID>
online logs to offline.
That means, when time of getting the backup, current online redo logs will be taken in to offline mode. (As archived redo logs) ?
then those archived logs will be backing up.
Is that the way that happens.
