Schedule backup script ICM

Hello,
I'm trying to backup script (*.ICMS) with schedule task, do you now if it's possible?
I find the manual export in script editor but do it one by one ...
I need your help
Thanks a lot

You cannot "back up" an individual .icms file.
If you back up the logger (xxxx_sideA) database, that will include all the Scripts (along with all your other configuration).
iow - the Scripts are part of the ICM database, not a separate entity.

Scheduling backups when wake from sleep is password protected

i'm just wondering if it's possible to wake a mac from sleep (at say 0200) in order to run a backup script, if a password is required to wake from sleep/screensaver ?
what's happening at the moment is that the computer wakes, the script starts to run, but then after about 1 minute, because the authentication dialog is not processed, it goes back to sleep, so interrupting the script
i had the same problem trying to sftp into a mac after using wake-on-lan to wake it from sleep remotely. i can successfully make the sftp connection and start file transfers, however it quickly goes back to sleep (as the authentication dialog is unanswered)
so does anyone know of a way to keep the security of require-password-from-sleep, as well as allowing useful things like running scheduled backup scripts ?
Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I also had this problem and I worked with Apple Care. They are aware of the problem and apparently are working on a fix. The only way around this for now is to uncheck the option requiring a password to wake from sleep/screen saver in System Preferences/Security. I was amazed to find this problem, I can't believe Apple let this one past them because surely all those folks who use Backup with .Mac accounts have experienced this problem or don't realize their backup isn't happening. So, hopefully this is one item that will be fixed at some point.

yes the script is edited
i have add some command line and edit it for take the full backup level=0 on the same directory with different formant name but location is same.
can i take full backup level 0 and incremental backup level 1 in the same directory with the different format name.
for exp:
allocate channel c2 device type disk format '/d06/UAT/rman_hot_backup/Daily_backup%d_DB_%c_%U';
allocate channel c3 device type disk format '/d06/UAT/rman_hot_backup/Daily_backup%d_DB_%c_%U';
allocate channel c4 device type disk format '/d06/UAT/rman_hot_backup/Daily_backup%d_DB_%c_%U';
i allocate these three channel for incremental level 1 backup;
the backup is done successfully without any error.
after that i have change
allocate channel c2 device type disk format '/d06/UAT/rman_hot_backup/Weekly_backup%d_DB_%c_%U';
allocate channel c3 device type disk format '/d06/UAT/rman_hot_backup/Weekly_backup%d_DB_%c_%U';
allocate channel c4 device type disk format '/d06/UAT/rman_hot_backup/Weekly_backup%d_DB_%c_%U';
backup database incremental level 0
after doing the above changes it get the error. with the channel location.
i have to schedule daily incremental backup level 1 and weekly full backup level 0.
plz suggest me i have to take incremental 1 and full incremental level 0 backup on seperate directory for different format name.

Scheduling RMAN script on windows

I want to schedule the following full database backup script to run every night at 10pm. Can anyone guide me how I can schedule it on windows OS but please don't suggest OEM as currently I have it scheduled thought OEM only.
run
allocate channel ch1 type disk format 'f:\backup\full_db_%D_%T.bak';
backup database;
}

You can try to use DBMS_SCHEDULER. Following messages should help.

Script does everything perfect except for the backup not being incremental/differential - it just creates a different folder each iteration that it puts the backup into.
I would appreciate if someone could go through and let me know what we might be doing wrong - why we are not able to get this job to be incremental/differential.
Thanks in advance.

Hre are all of the options for Windows Backup:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee706670.aspx
If you can find an incremental backup naywhere in the options then I will admit I have missed something.
The old Windows Backup, pre-2008, could do incremental backups. The newer backup system is minimal and serves different purposes.
The question about how to use a subsystem of Windows is NOT a scripting question. It is a "how-to" for a Windows component.
If you do not understand the scrip tyou posted then I recommend finding someone with sufficient understanding of Windows and the new backup Cmdlets to help you top understand how they work.
Here is the Microsoft description of Windows Server Backup:
Windows Server Backup consists of a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in, command-line tools, and Windows PowerShell cmdlets that provide a complete solution for your day-to-day backup and recovery needs. You can use Windows Server Backup to back
up a full server (all volumes), selected volumes, the system state, or specific files or folders—and to create a backup that you can use for bare metal recovery. You can recover volumes, folders, files, certain applications, and the system state. And, in case
of disasters like hard disk failures, you can perform a bare metal recovery. (To do this, you will need a backup of the full server or just the volumes that contain operating system files, and the Windows Recovery Environment—this will restore your complete
system onto your old system or a new hard disk.)
You can use Windows Server Backup to create and manage backups for the local computer or a remote computer. And, you can schedule backups to run automatically.
Windows Server Backup is intended for use by everyone who needs a basic backup solution—from small business to large enterprises—but is even suited for smaller organizations or individuals who are not IT professionals.
It specifically states that only a full server or selected file,device backup is possible. There is no statement of incremental backup. Windows Server backup is intended for server recovery.
If you type "help Set-WBVssBackupOptions
-full" you will see that there are only two options "full" and "copy".
Please post your issues in the WS2008 or the WS2012 forum to get more information on how the Windows Server backup service works.

RMAN backup script

OS windows 2000 server
database 9i
I am planning following script for backup of database.
run{
allocate channel ch1 type disk;
backup
format 'E:\oracle\backup\/%d_%s'
database plus archivelog delete input;
release channel ch1;
Want to overwrite the backup on every sunday on disk.
1.What changes should I make in script so that RMAN should not create new file
and overwrite older one.

Thanks.
Now I can schedule backup job through above script.
With this script
run{
allocate channel ch1 type disk;
backup
format 'E:\oracle\backup\/%d_%s'
database plus archivelog delete input;
release channel ch1;
and CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1;
I want to delete obsolete backup
run{
allocate channel ch1 type disk;
backup
format 'E:\oracle\backup\/%d_%s'
database plus archivelog delete input;
delete obsolete;
release channel ch1;
It is not working as delete obsolete command asks for confirmation (YES/NO)?
How to do it ?

Need help. Scheduled backup is killing the listener

I'm not sure what is going on. I scheduled a backup through the OEM and when the job kicked off, it shut down the listner, or killed it. The problem is that our startup/shutdown routines use the listener as a dependency, so when the listener dies, other Oracle servers also are shut down.
This server is in NOARCHIVELOG mode, so the backup has to happen offline, which I assumed meant simply shutting the database down, backing up and reopening it.
The main problem is that I can't seem to find the scheduled job, so everytime I restart the server, the job attempts to start again and kills the listener. I've done some searching, but I can't find the exact query/script to kill any scheduled backup job.

Is there software I can use to repair the boot record on my external HD?

Oracle Hot Backup Script Windows Server 2003

Hello,
Does anyone here have a working Oracle 10I database hot backup script for Windows Server 2003? If so can you please post it here.
Thanks.

Here is a basic batch script I have used for a hot backup of Oracle databases using RMAN
Will just need to update some locations based on you environment just check all the comments and change what you need to but this can be scheduled to run regularly through the windows scheduler for database backups.
This will take a hot backup and backup the archive logs.
Let me know if you have any quesitons.

Win2000/NT hot backup script

Can someone provide a basci script for online(hot) backup for Oracle9i(8i) on Windows2000/NT server? we have a online application, and plan to back it up every night.
Also, Windows should have administrative tool to schedule the backup by envoking the script every night after we set it up, right?
Many THANKS for your help!!!

Hope this solves ur problem
Run this script through SQLPLUS and it will ask you for the
HOT_BACK_DIR and GEN_FILE values.
HOT_BACK_DIR : defines the directory to which the hot backup is written
SCRIPT_FILE : Hot Backup Script for your environment
INT_PWD :Internal Password ( Needed for NT Only )
Give me the Credit and never use it without askin me ;)

Archivelog Backup Script

Hello
I have a backup script which is kicked off by cron every 2 hours. I am facing a problem of script geting overlapped .Like say if the script is running at 5 am and the next one is scheduled at 7 am...if 5 am script is still backing up archive logs past 7 am then 7 am script also starts and it finishes abruptly..i want to avoid this situation.
For this i modified my script so that it can check doing a "ps -ef|grep arch_bkup.sh|wc -l"...bt i dont wanto depend on this number everytime...Does anyone came across this situation and has a better solution..Please reply
Thanks

sure
just from a simple command line:
Returns my grep:
# ps -ef | grep backup_arch.sh
oracle 22449 2861 0 11:30:59 pts/3 0:00 grep backup_arch.sh
# echo $?
0
Returns nothing (used with -v to eliminate the grep that I run)
# ps -ef | grep backup_arch.sh | grep -v grep
# echo $?
1
Normally your output would produce at least 2 lines when the job was running...
Let me know if you need any more assistance with it.
Edited by: Jamie CC on Dec 10, 2009 8:37 AM
Should also mention that $? is the return code of the last command ran so in your script make sure you check it right after your grep...

Anyone using OEM for scheduling backups?

I'd like to see a poll for the number of users using OEM for taking database backups. Had some interesting conversations with some colleagues via social media and it seems like some DBAs don't trust OEM for their backups even though the feature works IMO.
Are you using OEM to do backups?
Edited by: DBA on May 3, 2012 1:02 PM

I have 91 scheduled recurring backup jobs running through OEM 12c BP1. They work quite well. I've only noticed a few problems and nitpicks:
1) Occasionally, for unknown reasons, a backup job against a newly-added database target will fail stating that the backup cannot be run since the database is closed. The database is not closed, it's up and running fine. Changing the backup job to run using SYS as SYSDBA credentials resolves this problem.
2) Identification of failed backups is not as customizable as I would like. For example, if I have a full "backup database plus archivelog" running, and during the course of that backup an archivelog backup runs and deletes archived logs, OEM will report that the backup job has failed since RMAN throws an error about not being able to backup an archivelog it expected to find. I dealt with this by adding SKIP INACCESSIBLE to the backup statement. I'm not totally comfortable about that but I monitor for offline datafiles so I consider this only a minimal risk. Our custom backup scripts used to catch this warning and ignore it.
3) It's really annoying that, after creating a backup job through the target Availability -> Schedule Backup tool, I cannot then run a 'Create Like' against that backup job to create a nearly identical one against a different database target. You have to schedule each of them from the Schedule Backup tool. Clicky clicky clicky clicky.
4) A backup job created through the 'Schedule Backup' tool has a job type of 'Database Backup', therefore when the job fails a high-availability incident is created, so you can configure incident rules to receive notification of this event. This is good. Unfortunately a backup job created from the Jobs page has a job type of 'RMAN Script' does NOT create an incident on job failure out of the box. I've had difficulty configuring incident rules to catch failures for RMAN Script job types. This is not good.
5) The repeating schedule options for jobs are limited compared even to something like cron. I can schedule a job for a day of the week, or a day of the month, but cannot easily schedule a job for "the first Tuesday of each month". This can be worked around.
6) After creating and submitting a backup job through the Schedule Backup tool, you cannot edit the RMAN script without recreating the job. You can only edit the RMAN script before submitting the job. I deal with this by having my backups run stored scripts in the recovery catalog, and make the changes there if I need to change something.
7) It is very annoying that if I 'stop' a repeating job (instead of suspend), there is no way to resume that job. It has to be recreated. This is my own user error -- I just don't click the stop button. Not OEM's fault but I'd rather not even have that button.
8) No ability to sequence jobs. You can sequence steps within a job, but then the entire job succeeds or fails as a unit. If you want to back up database A then immediately back up database B afterwards, you have to create a multi-task job. The multi-task job has the same problem as item #4 above such that it does not create a "backup failed" incident when the backup fails.
Even with all of these gripes, I am quite pleased with the backups I have running through OEM.

Oracle Express scheduled backup hangs

Hello,
We are using Oracle Express 10g and everytime it tries to run a scheduled backup, the server freezes and needs to be restarted; there are no errors to report. However, when we run the backup manually (from the web interface), it works just fine.
Has anyone else encountered this before? Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Katrina Bryant.

windows or linux? Hot backup? Ok whats the difference between when it runs manually, and when it runs from the scheduler?
Environment settings?
Windows -> userID running the task belongs fo the ora_dba group?
linux -> via a crontab job? (and userID is a member of the dba group?) add the needed environment variables to the script that runs the backup?

Can we schedule backup of cisco san switch 9148 through windows backup utility.

can we schedule backup of cisco san switch 9148 through windows backup utility.

sure, you can write a batch/perl/powershell/whatever script that will connect to your switch and then backup the configuration. You need to decided where you are going to back it up to, possible options include TFTP, SCP, FTP, SFTP. For example i am backing to a TFTP server, my perl script connect to the switch and runs this command:
copy startup-config tftp://tfpserver-ip/mds9513.$(TIMESTAMP).config
TIMESTAMP is actually a built-in variable that will be replaced with the date/time configured on the switch.

What is wrong? I scheduled backup job before on this server and it worked.

This may be due to that the schedule frequecy is not set. Make sure Frequency Type and Repeat Every boxes get filled properly.
