Single Tablespace Backup, Restore and Recovery

Hi Experts,
I need your kind help. Actually I want to take hot backup by RMAN for a particular TABLESPACE ..
I know this is possible. My question is when I restore a tablespace to any other test database
I need to create new database or I can restore it to any existing database? Just like adding new tablespace??
To recover this tablespace I need to archive log backup ?
How I can open the database on which I m going to restore/recover this particular tablespace ???
Regards,
Rizwan

You cannot copy a tablespace from one database to another using the normal Backup/Restore methods.
You have to use the TTS (Transportable Tablespace) methods.

  • Tablespace Backup & Restore

    Hi Team,
    I am working on the TableSpace Backup & restore operation.
    I can able to take backup of the tablespace using the rman script. Also I can able to restore that table space properly without any errors.
    Now my query is that How can I verify that tablespace is restored properly or not.
    Like in whole database backup & restore , we will create table in database & take a backup of the whole database after that we delete that table. & then we will perfom the Incomplete recovery to get back that table.
    Can we have any method to verify for Tabalespace.?
    Plz comment ,
    Regards,
    S. Tiwari

    Hi edrian,
    Thanks for the reply,
    I had created the table in the EXAMPLE tablespace as testing
    Now after that I had taken the backup of EXAMPLE tablespace using follwing script.
    run
    BACKUP TABLESPACE 'EXAMPLE' FORMAT 'C:\BK\EXAMPLE_%d_%s';
    & its taking the tablespace backup succesfully also .
    Now after that I am dropping that table from the database.
    If I do Incomplete recovey for the EXAMLE tablespace , I am expecting the table back in the database. But its not there in the database.
    I am using Incomplete restore Script as given below.
    run
    RESTORE TABLESPACE "EXAMPLE" UNTIL TIME "to_date('Feb 08 2007 11:54:56','Mon DD YYYY HH24:MI:SS')";
    Plz comment if I am going wrong anywhere. Also suggest me the proper Incomplete tablespace restore script.
    Regards,

  • Database is pending after restore and recovery

    Database is in the pending status after restore and recovery.
    The database can not startup today and it shows a error message: the log file 2 cannot be archived. Then I issue the following command:

  • [HELP] Problem with restore and recovery to new host

    Hi, guys!
    I have been trying for two days, but still cannot get it to work.
    I have taken a full hot(online) backup with archive logs as well as the control file and SPFILE, and then copied the backup to the new host with the same directory structure and settings. Finally, I have tried to restore & recover the database on the new host but failed during the restore process.
    Both the original host and the new host have the same Oracle installed down to the patch level. I couldn't figure out the proper solution to this problem base on my limited knowledge about Oracle DB.
    Could anyone help me out here? Any advice would be appreciated!

  • Tablespace backup list for recovery

    Hi,
    I plan to backup at tablesapce level instead of whole database. Other than the tablespaces used for the application, do I have to backup system and other tablespaces in 9i to guarantee recovery? The DB is on archivelog mode. Thanks.
    Tracy

    (Off forum answer)
    Tracy,
    Recovery does depend on what is it that you have lost wrt database. If you have lost some datafiles - due to disk corruption, then just bringing in those files is not helpful.
    You need to take a full backup of all files that constitute the database - control, data, redo).

  • Restore and Recovery problem-XP reinstall

    I have a N100 laptop that I am trying to reinstall XP operating system.  I have the recovery discs. Started the process in the Rescue and Recovery menu. Part way into the process after putting in the first disc the process will go no further.  Just to review how I got thru the menu.  I chose option  Restore my entire hard drive.   then selected backup from CD/DVD.  then I get a message:   to restore from CD/DVD either insert final C disc or insert final discs of recovery discs.  nothing happens when inserting the disc.   also-when I restart the computer it always goes to the Rescue and Recovery menu.  I can't get a normal Windows startup.  Any suggestions of how to get at least to a normal Windows startup and avoid getting to the R and R menu or how to re-format the drive?

    Hi dawcary,
    I dug out my old x32 that has the recovery discs.  The version of Recovery is the same as yours.
    Booting from the R&R disc it eventually comes to the window with the two options that you describe, plus a third option to restore factory settings.  Choosing to restore to factory settings wipes the drive and installs the predesktop.  If you reboot at that point, it will go into the predesktop and that window will then only show the two choices that you listed above.
    I don't know why yours doesn't show that third option.
    At this point, it sounds like the predesktop is installed on your hard drive and nothing else.  Rebooting might be bypassing the cd drive and booting into the predesktop.  You probably already did this, but it's the only thing I can think of.  Put your R&R disc in the cd drive and start the machine.  Press F12 at startup and in the list of bootable devices that comes up, choose cd drive.  That "should" give you the third option to restore to factory.

  • Backup - restore and missing app

    Hi,
    I upgraded from IOS4 to IOS5 during this progress I was prompted "backup your Iphone?" yes to my Mac airbook external drive.
    After upgrades I was missing all (notes,pictures adresser etc)
    I tried to restore but Itunes only pop´s up an older backup.
    Where can I find the newest backup?
    secondly
    I miss a App (100 dollar) where can I find this without repurchacing?
    BR
    Lieuwe

    I had a 'glitch' during a power outage that required me to restore from the backup. The app folders appeared only where a website shortcut had been stored in the folder. After investigating what got restored and what didn't, I attempted a second restore from backup (no sync operation attempted). The results were the same. I'm actually glad the results were the same in some respects since it indicates a consistent (but incomplete) backup/restore operation. Note, even the folders that did get recreated (with website shortcuts) did not have their apps correctly restored, there appeared to be no pattern to what happen.
    To the persons who did the 'double restore'; how many apps do you have on your iPhone?. Was it less than the iOS 3 limit of 180 (including Apple Apps)? I have about 300 apps which means they don't 'fit', without folders, within the 180 app limit. I'm thinking that the double backup worked since you had less than the 180 app limit, but I'm not sure without knowing the number of apps you have.
    The unanswered question is: Does iTunes backup the app folder configuration and can it correctly restore the folder configuration (apps correctly placed in folders)? Since I had the glitch iTunes has been upgraded twice (if I recall). Did the upgrades fix the app folder issue? I don't really want to be the one to test this since it takes hours to rebuild the folder/app configuration.
    Thanks for any help.

  • Backup and Restore and Recovery

    I just recently ran the Backup for my NB255-N245 Notebook with Windows 7 Starter. I did not use the Online Backup but used a USB drive with 128GB of capacity. After doing this I was looking to see what was on the drive because it seemed only 2GB of space was used. I on see 2 items 1 named Notebook and another file MediaID.bin. I am curious what is on this drive and what can be restored or recovered with it? I was originally trying to make a copy of the C drive so I could restore it from the original files, if I am explaining that correctly. This being I think there may be a corrupted file somewhere.  I did find out apparently recovery disks seem to be needed to do what I was going to do but not sure if that is correct?

    There is a lot of information around, but I will try to explain it in simple terms from my head (sorry, I won't provide links).
    Anyway, here is how it is supposed to work.
    You must create a user who will be designated as a Data Recovery Agent (DRA).
    Do the following on a domain joined workstation - could be a VM.
    Encrypt a file using this account so that EFS certificate is created for the DRA.
    Export the certificate and export private key. Delete private key during the export. 
    Save the exported certificate into the safe. Delete exported certificate from the workstation. Optionally, if it was a VM, delete a VM too.
    This leaves you with account for DRA that only has the public key, but not the private key. This user can encrypt EFS files, but cannot read them. This is your DRA account. You don't use it for anything else but as a DRA.
    So, configure Data recovery policy, using your prepared account as DRA.
    That's all.
    When you need to recover files, get a new (clean) domain joined workstation - could be a VM.
    Get certificate from the safe.
    Create a new user JohnDoe.
    Import a certificate from the safe to JohnDoe.
    Now JonhnDoe has both private and public key and can read EFS encrypted data.
    Decrypt the data as you like.
    When you are finished, destroy JohnDoe and workstation (VM).

  • Oracle Restore and Recovery

    Hello.
    Guys I`m pretty new to Oracle and I been trying to restore our backup from Live Database to Our Test Database.
    This is what i did.
    After installing the Oracle 11g (11.2.0) on our Rhel6 environment, I try to create the folder structure to Test Server same as on Live Server.
    After that I "startup nomount pfile='directory'" then created the spfile.
    Then I copy the backupset and control file from Live Server to Test Server and restore the control file.
    I alter Database to mount mode then go to rman to restore Database.
    It all goes well but when I try to recover Database I receive an error.
    This is the Error = RMAN-06054: media recovery requesting unknown archived log for thread 1 with sequence 8929 and starting SCN of 811164225283.
    I try to ignore this error and proceed to opening the database;
    Alter Database Open resetlogs.
    But then again I receive this error.
    ORA-01092: ORACLE instance terminated. Disconnection forced
    ORA-00704: bootstrap process failure
    ORA-39700: database must be opened with UPGRADE option
    Process ID: 8020
    Session ID: 3 Serial number: 4461
    Can some one please help me on how to do this?
    I`m really new to oracle and I dont know what to do.

    Sir,
    Thanks for your assistant.
    I have successfully restore the Database.
    Now my problem is after recovery I cannot access the EM.
    Here is the error shown.
    "503 Service Unavailable
    Servlet error: An exception occurred. The current application deployment descriptors do not allow for including it in this response. Please consult the application log for details."
    Is this the cause of my recovery?
    Should I turn off EM first before I recover?Just to expand on what Hemant said, the dbcontrol has two parts. One is the repository, which is a bunch of tables in the database. The other is the configuration, which is a bunch of files buried under ORACLE_HOME. The two have to be in sync in ways I don't fully understand, but when you replicate a database from one host to another, especially if any kind of database rename is involved, you are getting the repository from the source system and laying it down with the configuration on the target system. Bottom line, exactly as Hemant said, drop and recreate at least the repository. I do both the repository and the config.

  • Backup/restore and drag/drop .emlx back into mail......

    bit of a curly one,
    Okay, I backed up a user's folder full of emails onto disc, so I could delete it (As it's taking up heaps on the server... they're using imap)
    anyway...is there any way to drag/drop the .emlx files back into say a folder "on the mac" so that it can be visible on the hard disk in Mail?

    First of all, you should realize that you’ve been making backups of data stored locally on disk, not of the messages stored on the server. Hence, in general, those backups may or may not allow you to restore your mail depending on a number of things, such as the account settings and the format used by the mail client to cache messages locally (if any).
    If Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Keep copies of messages for offline viewing is set to All messages and their attachments (the default setting), then Mail 2.x maintains a local copy of server-stored mailboxes using the exact same format it uses for locally stored mailboxes, except the suffix of the mailbox folder in the filesystem is .imapmbox instead of .mbox.
    You cannot import *.imapmbox mailboxes directly into Mail because when you do File > Import Mailboxes and choose Mail for Mac OS X as the data format, Mail looks for *.mbox folders only, but if Keep copies of messages for offline viewing was indeed set to All messages and their attachments when the backup of those mailboxes was made, you can easily overcome that limitation by just changing the suffix to .mbox:
    1. Copy the entire ~/Library/Mail/IMAP-username@mailserver account folder from the backup to the Desktop.
    2. Change the .imapmbox suffix of the folders within the account folder on the Desktop to .mbox.
    3. In Mail, do File > Import Mailboxes, choose Mail for Mac OS X as the data format, and follow the instructions to import the copy of the account folder that’s on the Desktop.

  • T42 HD replaced, can't get restore and recovery disc to work properly

    Hello Support Team!
    I purchased a ThinkPad from a company going out of business and was happy with it until the hard drive started to freak out.  I replaced the hard drive with a new Western Digital 250 GB and ordered the recovery discs from the place in Atlanta.  The discs arrived and I thought I was ready for my new computer.  I'm following all the directions in the install, changing the startup to boot from the CD.  I get the Recovery Welcome Screen and try to click on Restore Factory Settings.  At this point, I get a screen that says "In order to proceed, your system must be rebooted".  I haven't gotten past this point now matter what I try. 
    I like this little machine, but I'm afraid I can no longer breathe new life into it????
    Do you have any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    OK, that's a good start.
    Have you wiped the drive before attempting to install the OS? If not, now would be a good time to do it.
    Download the PC Doctor for DOS bootable CD, burn a disk and boot from it.
    http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mob​iles/1ety48ww.exe
    Wipe the drive clean (under utilities), run diagnostics on the rest of the system.
    If everything comes back clean, re-try installing the OS.
    Good luck and keep us posted.
    Cheers,
    George
