Oracle 9i restore to point in time

We are performing everyday full backups (plus archivelogs) using rman on our Oracle9i RAC database (in archivelog mode). The backup takes around 3 hours to complete. After we start the backup we wait for about 1 hour and then start transacting on the database through our application. Is it possible to take that backup and restore on a different database to the point in time when the backup started (or at any time within the first 1 hour window) assuming we take a backup of the controlfile at some point before or after the backup?
Edited by: de**** on Jun 30, 2012 2:01 AM

Hi de****,
Is it possible to take that backup and restore on a different database to the point in time when the backup startedYou will need the previous backup plus all archivelogs to restore/recover to that point in time (PIT).
The easiest would be to do an rman duplicate and take a PIT at the moment the hotbackup does the second archivelog backup run started.
There are plenty of examples in this forum on how to do a duplicate.

Rman restore taking unexpectedly long time

Dear ALL,
I have 3 TB of database which I am restoring from a hot backup on tape drive.
Backup of this database took 7 hours but restoration of a single tablespace(800 GB) takes more than 3 days.
Any idea ,why it is taking so much time.
Just out of curiosity : Which is faster- restore database/restore tablespace /restore datafile in terms of bytes restored per second?
Regards
Saket Bansal

Not enough information to advise. Your bottleneck may be on the Tape read, IO write, or even network.
Depending on where the bottleneck is, you may increase speed by restoring from multiple channels, to faster disk, or from compressed backup pieces.
Restore database should be faster because then rman can decide the fastest way to restore.

Need help with Backup Recovery using Rman - Point in Time.

Hi all,
I am trying to recover my database to a certain point in time. Here are the details below.
Oracle database version is. 11G R1. on 2 Node RAC. OS is AIX.
Database name is Sales.
Due to a mistake by the Application team, the database is written over by bad data. Now I have to restore the database in to a point in time, where the database was good.
For this, i took a whole (full) RMAN backup, everything, all the archivelog files and Controlfiles as well.
After doing this, i dropped the entire database. So now everything is clean.
Now i have to restore and recover the database to this point in time.. 03/16/2011 12:45:00
Please guide.
The backups are located at.. /backup/sales/rman/
I am trying various things, but each time i get the msg..
ORA-01507: database not mounted
I understand.. the reason for this message is the controlfile does not exist.. as the database is in mount mode. But as i said.. i have dropped the database in order to proceed with entire restoration.
But i have taken a whole backup.. which also includes the controlfiles + archivefiles.
Please guide.. with proper steps and commands.

Hi,
Priror to start with restore and recovery - Try to restore the control file from backups "/backup/sales/rman/"
Then further you can mount the db and further carry on with recovery (catalog the backups prior to recovery)

Problem in performing multiple Point-In-Time Database Recovery using RMAN

Hello Experts,
I am getting an error while performing database point in time recovery multiple times using RMAN. Details are as follows :-
Environment:
Oracle 11g, ASM,
Database DiskGroups : DG_DATA (Data files), DG_ARCH(Archive logs), DG_REDO(Redo logs Control file).
Snapshot DiskGroups :
Snapshot1 (taken at 9 am): SNAP1_DATA, SNAP1_ARCH, +SNAP1_REDO
Snapshot2 (taken at 10 am): SNAP2_DATA, SNAP2_ARCH, +SNAP2_REDO
Steps performed for point in time recovery:
1. Restore control file from snapshot 2.
     RMAN> RESTORE CONTROLFILE from '+SNAP2_REDO/orcl/CONTROLFILE/Current.256.777398261';
2. For 2nd recovery, reset incarnation of database to snapshot 2 incarnation (Say 2).
3. Catalog data files from snapshot 1.
4. Catalog archive logs from snapshot 2.
5. Perform point in time recovery till given time.
     STARTUP MOUNT;
     RUN {
          SQL "ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = ''dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss''";
          SET UNTIL TIME "06-mar-2013 09:30:00";
          RESTORE DATABASE;
          RECOVER DATABASE;
          ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
Results:
Recovery 1: At 10.30 am, I performed first point in time recovery till 9:30 am, it was successful. Database incarnation was raised from *2* to *3*.
Recovery 2: At 11:10 am, I performed another point in time recovery till 9:45 am, while doing it I reset the incarnation of DB to *2*, it failed with following error :-

Doubts:
1. Why did recovery failed 2nd time, but not 1st time and why is RMAN looking for online redo log group_1.257.807150859 in 2nd recovery ?
3. I tried restoring control file from AutoBackup, in that case both 1st and 2nd recovery succeeded.
However for this to work, I always need to keep the AutoBackup feature enabled.
How reliable is control file AutoBackup ? Is there any alternative to using AutoBackup, can I restore control file from snapshot backup only ?
4. If I restore control file from AutoBackup, then from what point of time/SCN does RMAN restores the control file ?
Please help me out in this issue.
Thanks.

Hello experts,
I'm little newbie to RMAN recovery. Please help me in these doubts:
1. If I have datafiles, archive logs & control files backup, but current online REDO logs are lost, then can I perform incomplete database recovery ?yes, if you have backups of everything else
2. Till what maximum time/scn can incomplete database recovery be performed ??Assuming the only thing lost is the redo logs, you can recover to the last scn in the last archivelog.
3. What is role of online REDO logs in incomplete database recovery ? They provide the final redo changes - the ones that have not been written to archivelogs
Are they required for incomplete recovery ?It depends on how much incomplete recovery you need to do.
Think of all of your changes as a constant stream of redo information. As a redolog fills, it is copied to archive, then (eventually) reused. over time, your redo stream is in archivelog_1, continuing into archvivelog_2, then to 3, and eventually, when you get to the last archivelog, into the online redo. A recovery will start with the oldest necessary point in the redo stream and continue forward. Whether or not you need the online redo for a PIT recovery depends on how far forward you need to recover.
But you should take every precaution to prevent loss of online redo logs .. starting with having multiple members in each redo group ... and keeping those multiple members on physically separate disks.

Doubt about database point in time recovery using rman

Hi Everyone,
I have been practising various rman restore and recovery scenarios . I have a doubt regarding database point in time recovery using rman. Imagine i have a full database backup including controlfile scheduled to run at 10 PM everyday. today is 20th dec 2013. imagine i want to restore the database to a prior point in time ( say 18th dec till 8 AM). so i would restore all the datafiles from 17th night's backup and apply archives till 8 AM of 18th dec . in this scenario should i restore the controlfile too from 17th dec bkp ( i am assuming yes we should ) or can we use the current controlfile ( assuming it is intact). i found the below from oracle docs.
Performing Point-in-Time Recovery with a Current Control File
The database must be closed to perform database point-in-time recovery. If you are recovering to a time, then you should set the time format environment variables before invoking RMAN. The following are sample Globalization Support settings:
NLS_LANG = american_america.us7ascii
NLS_DATE_FORMAT="Mon DD YYYY HH24:MI:SS"
To recover the database until a specified time, SCN, or log sequence number:
After connecting to the target database and, optionally, the recovery catalog database, ensure that the database is mounted. If the database is open, shut it down and then mount it:
2. SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
3. STARTUP MOUNT;
4.
Determine the time, SCN, or log sequence that should end recovery. For example, if you discover that a user accidentally dropped a tablespace at 9:02 a.m., then you can recover to 9 a.m.--just before the drop occurred. You will lose all changes to the database made after that time.
You can also examine the alert.log to find the SCN of an event and recover to a prior SCN. Alternatively, you can determine the log sequence number that contains the recovery termination SCN, and then recover through that log. For example, query V$LOG_HISTORY to view the logs that you have archived.
RECID      STAMP      THREAD#    SEQUENCE# FIRST_CHAN FIRST_TIM NEXT_CHANG
         1 344890611          1          1      20037 24-SEP-02      20043
         2 344890615          1          2      20043 24-SEP-02      20045

Perform the following operations within a RUN command:
Set the end recovery time, SCN, or log sequence. If specifying a time, then use the date format specified in the NLS_LANG and NLS_DATE_FORMAT environment variables.
If automatic channels are not configured, then manually allocate one or more channels.
Restore and recover the database.
The following example performs an incomplete recovery until November 15 at 9 a.m.
RUN
SET UNTIL TIME 'Nov 15 2002 09:00:00';
# SET UNTIL SCN 1000;       # alternatively, specify SCN
# SET UNTIL SEQUENCE 9923; # alternatively, specify log sequence number
RESTORE DATABASE;
RECOVER DATABASE;
If recovery was successful, then open the database and reset the online logs:
5. ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
I did not quiet understand why the above scenario is using current controlfile as the checkpoint scn in the current controlfile and the checkpoint scn in the datafile headers do not match after the restore and recovery. Thanks in Advance for your help.
Thanks
satya

Thanks for the reply ... but what about the checkpoint scn in the controlfile . my understanding is that unless the checkpoint scn in the controlfile and datafiles do not match the database will not open. so assuming the checkpoint scn in my current controlfile is 1500 and i want to recover my database till scn 1200. so the scn in the datafiles (which is 1200) is not not matching with the scn in the controlfile(1500). so will the database open in such cases.
Thanks

I had created a snapshot of the database(datafiles and archivelogs) and cataloged them.
CATALOG START WITH "+TBL_DG_DATA/ORCL/DATAFILE/" NOPROMPT;
catalog start with "+DG_ARCH/ORCL/ARCHIVELOG/" NOPROMPT;
The time i gave was after the snapshot was created.
When it failed the first time I created another controlfile using
sql "alter database backup controlfile to ''/tmp/auxpran/controlbc.ctl''";
And ran the recover command after the time after i generated this controlfile. Changed nothing else. TSPITR completed successfully. But it had failed first time. Cannot figure how it ran the second time but failed the first time.

Hi all please help.
I'm doing a reorg so I exported the production schemas and droped the schemas so that I can import the data again, but I dropped one user with out exporting it first!. I have no full exports but archivelog is enabled.
I want to do a point in time recovery :

Just prior to this i did a restore/recover with a sequence nr, no problem but it didn't work, the schemas still wasn't there, so now i want to use a timestamp.
Please help this is a production database
RUN

}

ORA-01180: can not create datafile 1Basically this error means RMAN 'thinks, I have no backup of datafile 1 and will try to create datafile 1. Afterwards I will apply archivelogs to the newly created datafile' . But that is not possible for datafile 1.
By the way instead of 'DEC 12 2009 04:00:00', I would always use something like
"TO_DATE('DEC 12 2009 04:00:00','MM DD YYYY HH24:MI:SS')" .
So you are sure the date is always interpreted correctly - independent of your default format settings.

Long story short....I restored my computer to an earlier point using time machine and now all of the previous back-ups are gone. My question has to do with itunes...is it possible to restore my itunes library to the most recent backup because the restore that I did was in march and the latest backup was in may....the reason being is that there were app that i had downloaded that are in my most recent back-up, that were not in the backup I restored to. Is it possible to just restore one application ie)itunes?

RMAN and Point IN time recovery

1. We have a table with bad data.
2. We know that data was entered via the GUI exactly one week ago.
3. I have an RMAN database full back-up that was taken the same day but before the table was screwed.
4. the database in archivelog mode.
5. we will be happy to restore the database in the condition before the change occured
5. when I restore database via RMAN, and do:
recover UNTIL TIME '16-MAR-2005';
Oracle restore bad data, and if I put time or scn I get a message that the database incarnation is wrong!
Is there any other way to do it?
TIA

Thanks Laurent! I was able to restore it only until Mar. 17?

MSE Creates A Restore Point Every Time It Updates

MSE creates a redundant restore point every time it updates.
Is there any way to stop this from happening without
disabling the system from creating restore points entirely?
Thanks.

Thanks.
The HD is 500GB. I think by default 2% or 10GB is reserved for restore points. Once the limit is reached the restore points are overwritten - last in, first out. I have a preferred restore point established that I'd like to be preserved.
My concern is the way in which Windows Update is used to update MSE definitions. Everytime (daily) MSE AV definitions are D/L it creates another restore point. Eventually it will overwrite the restore point I established. I guess I can always remove the restore points MSE creates using CCleaner or use a different AV program but it's something that should have been addressed by MS. They should have provided users with the option of not having MSE create restore points. I know I can always turn the feature off altogether and create restore points manually but there are times when having a restore point created automatically can come in handy - like when installing a program for example.
Aside from this issue I've also noticed other little annoyances throughout the Windows 7 / 64bit - Home Premium OS.
I'm sure I'll discover more annoyances with this OS over time.

Does Firefox have an equivalent of IE 9's System Restore? Quote: " It helps you restore your computer's system files to an earlier point in time."

If, for example, when using IE 9, I download something that causes my computer to misbehave, I can use IE 9's "System Restore" capability to revert my hard drive back to a point in the past when the drive was running correctly. The software will show me the "safe points" in time to which I can revert; I select one of the proposed times, run System Restore, and the computer will work as it did at the time I selected.

amin.mina.it -- You are right. Windows System Restore will restore your system to whatever the date you dedicated. If you are having any problems with your PC, or even problems with your browsers, you can always choose to restore your system to an earlier date. Please read this thread for further details.
http://support.mozilla.com/ast/questions/727284
If you are having problems with Firefox only but not your PC, you can just follow cor-el's instruction to do a clean reinstall instead. If you decide to do a System Restore, and having problems with Firefox afterward, follow cor-el's instructions also to fix the problem.
Good luck.

RMAN Restore Error - media recovery requesting unknown log: thread 1 seq 7

Im using RMAN to copy a database to another server. The new server is IDENTICAL to the old one. By identical I mean it has the same sever name, ip address, operating system, Oracle version and directory structure.
The new server already has the instance created, (same name as the old server instance, paths etc)
The backup files have been manually restored to the new server, same locations as they were on the old one. ( RMAN did an automatic controlfile backup and also the archivelogs on the old server ).
Ive restored the control file on the new server from the RMAN backup pieces.
Ive catalogued the RMAN backup pieces on the new server.
I know the last sequence available in the archivelogs backup by running on the new server :

So far its all going swimmingly well.
Now I want to restore the datafiles and recover. So I ran :
RMAN run { restore database; recover database; alter database open resetlogs; }
This gave me the output below which goes great but I get a final error, I think the error is because its looking for an archive log thats not in the backup set, but it should be. However, I think SCN 560851 is for a log that hadnt been created yet on the old server when the backup was ran ?
How do I address resolving the error ? Its worth pointing out log, "archive log filename=C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\FLASH_RECOVERY_AREA\SAT\ARCHIVELOG
\2011_05_11\O1_MF_1_6_6WOK1X4W_.ARC recid=10 stamp=750881741" isnt on the old server either which is why its not in the backup set.
I can do a alter database open reset logs but Id prefer to know why its failing.
Any help would be much appreciated.

You need to do incomplete recovery i.e. to ask RMAN to restore/recover to some specific point in time. This is usually done with some UNTIL clause or SET UNTIL statement. Example in your case:
SET UNTIL SEQUENCE 7;See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14194/rcmsynta065.htm#RCMRF160.

Using RMAN restore the database on a new host in ASM

Hello All,
I am trying to restore a database without using RMAN database duplicate. I want to do set new name for datafile and rename log file for online logs and change database name at last using NID.
here are details
source database - APSPROD / server - X
target database - EMERALD / Server -Y
Compressed backup is copied to destination server and I am trying to restore database using RMAN. Here is my init.ora file
cat initAPSPROD1.ora
DB_NAME=APSPROD
compatible=11.2.0.3
sga_target=8G
CONTROL_FILES='+DATA_DM01/EMERALD/controlfile/cntrl01.dbf','+RECO_DM01/EMERALD/controlfile/cntrl02.dbf','+DATA_DM01/EMERALD/controlfile/cntrl03.dbf'
DB_BLOCK_SIZE=8192
db_file_name_convert=(+DATA_DM01/APSPROD,+DATA_DM01/EMERALD)
log_file_name_convert=(+DATA_DM01/APSPROD,+DATA_DM01/EMERALD,+RECO_DM01/APSPROD,+RECO_DM01/EMERALD)
DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST='+RECO_DM01'
DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE=5500G
So from above you can see that control file should be restored to +DATA_DM01/EMERALD and +RECO_DM01/EMERALD path.
Question -
when I am trying to restore control file. It creates an ASM alias name in +DATA_DM01/EMERALD/controlfile/cntrl01.dbf',+RECO_DM01/EMERALD/controlfile/cntrl02.dbf',' and +DATA_DM01/EMERALD/controlfile/cntrl03.dbf' but It creates fully Qualified ASM Filename under +DATA_DM01/APSPROD and +RECO_DM01/
Here is output

How can I ensure that every thing gets created in +DATA_DM01/EMERALD/ or [+RECO_DM01/EMERALD?? similary for datafile restore even I have used set new file name ASM fully quilified OMF datafile gets created under +DATA_DM01/APSPROD/
