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 report need backup

We have an incremental level-1 backup Mon-Sat and cold full backup on Sundays with retention policy of 7 days. While troubleshooting some backup issues (space issue, expired backups) I ran the following commands and trying to understand the output.
RMAN> report need backup database;
RMAN retention policy will be applied to the command
RMAN retention policy is set to recovery window of 7 days
Report of files whose recovery needs more than 7 days of archived logs
File Days Name

File Days Name

RMAN> report obsolete recovery window of 7 days;

I looks like I need 146 days worth of archive log files to recover the psindex05.dbf. If so, what I could do to bring that into the 7 days policy?
The database is fine, I am not trying to recover the database.
This was setup by someone and now I am taking over with minimum RMAN experience.
I appreciate any help in this subject.

The datafile was offline. I guess it was created my mistake and hanging in there. Once I do the cleanup it should go away.

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:

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!!!

NOLOGGING with CTAS and RMAN's Incremental backup

DB Version: 10.2.0.4
OS : AIX
We use RMAN for our backup scheduled via cron.
Retention Policy : REDUNDANCY 1
Type : Incremental On 31st of every month, in most of our schemas, we recreate lots of tables using CTAS.
Because of the size , CREATE TABLE statements take a long time. Since we run on Standard edition, we can't use PARALLELISM.
NOLOGGING is the only option to improve the performance. But we are worried about the redo not being generated for these tables and the potential loss of data in case of a crash.
Currently we take a LEVEL0 backup every wednesday and Sunday nights and LEVEL1 backup on the rest of the days.
I know that everything will be backed up on LEVEL0. But, what if 31st falls on a day where only LEVEL1 backup occurs. We'll only be safe until the next LEVEL0 comes along.
Any workarounds for this?

When you write "we need" you make an assumption not supported by the facts.
The fact is that you need to refresh the data ... you do not need to recreate the table.
This is just one better solution:
http://www.morganslibrary.org/reference/materialized_views.html
there are others too. But not knowing your version number, and you still have not really stated the business case, I can not advise which would be the best. But it is safe to say there is no way on earth I would do what you are doing based on what you've posted. For example why at the end of each day can't you copy that day's rows to a predefined table spreading the load out over all 30 days and then, at month's end truncate the current table and rename it then rename the already loaded staging table. The swap could be done in a few seconds with essentially no overhead.

RMAN vs Online backup

what would be the main advantages to use RMAN vs Online backup?
On both backup/recovery stand point, RMAN is a lot more reliable and less user error/easy to recover/ faster backup and revocery time?
I am using online backup but want to switch to RMAN..

RMAN is the oracle suggested way of doing backups. RMAN automates a lot of the things that you need to handle if doing a backup the "old fashioned way". Things like the spfile, etc are automatically done w/ the backup.
Another advantage is that RMAN only backs up blocks that are used, so if you have a datafile that is 2G, but only 100M of it is used it will only have to backup 100M, where with a manual backup you would need to backup the entire file.
Is one way better than another? It is hard for me to say, once you become familiar with RMAN, you'll wonder why you didn't learn it earlier.
My 2 cents anyway.

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:

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;

Thank for help.

Hi,
Can you please make sure the restore mechanism you are following is correct or not?
Mechanics of Restore Operations
RMAN automates the procedure for restoring files. You do not need to go into the operating system, locate the backup that you want to use, and manually copy files into the appropriate directories. When you issue a RESTORE command, RMAN directs a server session to restore the correct backups to either:
* The default location, overwriting the files with the same name currently there
* A new location, which you can specify with the SET NEWNAME command
To restore a datafile, either mount the database or keep it open and take the datafile to be restored offline. When RMAN performs a restore, it creates the restored files as datafile image copies and records them in the repository.

Migrate Oracle 11g database from Windows To Linux using RMAN hot / cold backup ?

Hi Friends,
Is it possible to Migrate Oracle 11g database from Windows To Linux using RMAN hot / cold backup ? ( as i would like to perform Point In Time recovery)
(or) The only way is to use RMAN convert as mentioned here - Transporting Data Across Platforms
(or) Is there any other method (except exp/imp and data pump)
Regards,
DB

HI
his post describes the procedure required to migrate a database from Windows to Linux using the RMAN Convert Database command.
Both Windows and Linux platforms have the same endian format, which makes possible to transfer the whole database, making the migration process very straightforward and simple.
To migrate between platforms that have a different endian format, Cross Platform Transportable Tablespaces (XTTS) needs to be used instead.
List of Steps Needed to Complete the Migration
The migration process is simple, but as it has several steps it is convenient to be familiar with them before running it.
1. Check platform compatibility between source and target OS
2. Start the database in read only mode
3. Check database readiness for transport from Windows to Linux using DBMS_TDB.CHECK_DB
4. Check if there are any external objects
5. Execute the Rman Convert database command
6. Copy converted datafiles, generated Transport Script and Parameter File to Linux
7. Edit the init.ora for the new database
8. Edit the Transport Script and Parameter File changing the windows paths to Linux Paths
9. Execute the Transport Script
10.Change the Database ID
11.Check database integrity
Thank you

RMAN find oldest backup available

Hi all,
I need to do a pitr on one of our databases. Condition is go as far back as possible.
So "How do I find out the oldest backup available?". Can it be queried from the database/rman catalog?
Backups are performed daily; DB is in archivemode;backups are done with rman to tape. Oldest Save set on tape is from January 2012.
Is this the date rman can go back to?
Any help appreciated.

Understanding report need backup recovery window ..

Hello,
I have a big database which backed up within several days at night time. The retention policy is "recovery window of 3 days". I've tried to analyze the results of
report need backup;But I noticed than this command return just the list of datafiles having latest backup older than 3 days. I've tried to read again the docs:
>
Reports data files for which there are not sufficient backups to satisfy a recovery window-based retention policy for the specified number of days, that is, data files without sufficient backups for point-in-time recovery to any point back to the time SYSDATE - integer.
>
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I consider that the ability to make recover to any point in time within 3 days require the backup taken earlier than 3 days ago and archivelogs from the time when backup was taken to the recover PIT. Im I right? If so then how I should interprete the results of report need backup ? I can't find the detailed explanations of this in the docs :(
Thanks in advance,
Constantine

You are correct in your appreciations.
This report is about the need of backups, without considering archivelog backups.
It does not mean that listed files are in an unrecoverable situation.
Regards.

RMAN-06024: no backup or copy of the control file found to restore

I am cloning a new database using a full backup from previous nightly rman backup using a standby database utilizing catalog. When I run the duplicate command, I get
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================

RMAN-06026: some targets not found - aborting restore
RMAN-06024: no backup or copy of the control file found to restore
But the backup of controlfile does exists in the right place. What am I missing?
