Hi,
use this command at the database level :-
db2 backup db < DBSID > to < a directroy or device or a tape >
Even you can do this using control center.

I have an older macbook pro and the hard drive is starting to go (making loud noises). i tried to back up to an external hard drive (my passport essential se) using time machine and the computer keeps shutting down. the same thing happens when just trying to save my pictures from iphoto to a flash drive. suggestions to complete backup please?

Sounds like you'll need to access that drive while it is not booted. You need to replace it anyway, so do that, then one way or another (ext enclusure, et), access it and copy files.
If you keep trying to boot it, you might kill it for good and not get your files, so just swap it out first.

Correct backup procedure

What is the correct procedure to make.
1. Every evening a "hot" on-line back.
2. Every saturday evening a "full" backup.

The databases are running in archive mode.
Daily we do an on-line backup at 10pm.
We have an incremental tape backup of our system every night.
On saturday, I manually shutdown the databases and I copy the ORADATA files to a directory that is backup with our full tape backup during saturday night.
It's this procedure that I want to automate.
I can only create one backup procedure in EM console.
So my question is, how can I create an extra weekly off-line (with shutdown and restart of the databases) backup thats runs automatically.

Proper Backup Procedures with External Hard Drives

I use external firewire drives for all of my photos and I have a quick question about backup procedures. I currently use Intego's Personal Backup X5 software solution and I wanted to know whether it is better to backup your files or Sync your files when making duplicate drives?

Aperture's vault function will "sync" your library with your vault. This means that the vault will only hold one specific version of your library, which is fine for most users. The vault file will be more or less the same size as your Aperture library file.
If you want to make incremental backup of your library (which will allow you to restore specific versions of your library) then you could take a look at "Backup 3" which can be downloaded in a trail version here:
http://www.mac.com/1/solutions/backup.html
Incremental backup will mean that your initial backup file plus all your incremental backup files will fill up more space on your harddisk than the size of your Aperture library. (incremental = adding)

N97: backup procedure bugged

Hi all,
The backup procedur has a bug.
If you have setted to store the messages in e: after that you made a backup on the microsd and you open message it will be an error message about the memory is not avaible and the memory storage will set once again in C:

Suggestion for a backup program w/ my specific setup:

I'm looking for a 3rd part program to backup an external HD (connected via FW800). Here is my situaiton:
I have an intel iMac 24 IN running Mac OS 10.6. I have hooked up an external HD via FW800 dedicated to my iTunes library. As it hovers near 300GB, I had to take it off my MacHD and put it on the external. I want to back it up for obvious reasons. I already backup my MacHD via time machine to a networked time capsule. I want to backup the External HD as well. My 2 choices for destination drives are:
1. Time Capsule connected VIA Ethernet
or
2. another Hard Disk connected to my network via Ethernet. This HD has no OS on it, and is simply used to store video files that I wish to share among my computers.
I tried Carbon Copy Cloner, and per the FAQ, it is not designed to sync to networked volumes that do not run an OS.
Please let me know if you suggest another program that can help me solve this problem.
Thank you!

If there's room on the TC's internal HD, that's the simplest solution. Just go to TM Preferences > Options, and remove the external HD from the exclusion list.
Once it's backed-up, you can, if you want, free up some space on the TC by deleting all the backups of the library when it was on your internal HD. See #12 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum.

Content Server Backup Procedure

Dears,
We are using Content Server with MaxDB database.As we know in SAP with Oracle database we have brtools to configure backup to take it automatically on a regular basis.
So now my issue in the same way we need to configure backup for my Content server that is installed with MaxDB database,Please suggest how can it be done.
As on Marketplace we found content server for MaxDb database only,Can it be installed on Oracle also.
Please suggest.
Shivam

Anirudh,
MAX DB admin tools provide backup functions. You can do it from the GUI or from a command line. We backup content servers in several locations, by doing incrementals 4 times a day. The increamental files are copied to our headquarters and imported to a backup database. In the event a remote site's content server fails, we can bring the backup on line in just a few minutes. Note, if you do this you start a chain of events that you have to deal with in order to get the remote site back to it's state of the primary data. But it works for us. The backup database (stays in admin state) can have restores and backups run on it and be ready for use. We back it up, fully every night and carry that backup off site. This backup is also restored to our Test system when we do a PRD to Test copy of the SAP DB. So we backup all content servers 4 times a day and restore those backups to backup database on headquarters backup servers. The backups are small enough, happening every couple of hours during the work day, that we can move them across the WAN without problems.
dbmcli_commands.pdf had all the command line info in it. I am not sure where our DBA got that file from but all of our batch schedules of backups is based from commands described in that manual.

Backup procedure using RMAN for 11i Instance

Hi,
we have 11.5.10.2 instance
Node 1 = Application Tier ( 11.5.10.2)
Node 2 = DB Tier ( 9.2.0.7)
as of now, we are taking daily cold backup of both instances.
we want to implement RMAN online backup for DB and take cold backup every week end only.
so, what are the best procedures for implementing RMAN for 11i Database.
Please share your experience, if you have anybody implemented?
which one you prefer in RMAN backup ( backupsets or copy option or backupsets with compressed option) interms of performance.. our db size is 60 GB only.
we apply apps tier patches very rarely . so we want to take RMAN online backup for DB daily and take cold backup for entire apps and db in the week ends.

Hi,
This time, i am going to implement for Oracle 11i Database. thats why, i need you guys advice regarding 11i Database.Well, the same is applicable to 11i/R12 databases. You just need to configure RMAN the same way you configure it on any standalone database.
If you have implemented any where RMAN, can you share, how you are taking RMAN backup? I can share the scripts we use for backup using RMAN. If you are interested, let me know and I shall send it by email.
if we want to clone, are you cloning the TEST instance with RMAN backup or using cold backup.We use both, depends on the time frame of the cloning task and whether it is possible to use cold backup for cloning or not.
Please have a look at the following notes, it should be helpful.

Hot backup procedure

Hello, I have a database that takes in between 80 to 600 transactions per day through an external feed. I need to implement a hot backup that will run once a day. I don't need to do point in time recovery because I can restore from the prior nightly backup and then replay the tlog file from the external feed. What is the best way to implement a hot backup. Is it as simple as running a sql procedure that will loop through all the tablespaces and put them in backup mode and then copy them to another location? I am open to all and any recommendations. The database is Oracle 9.2.0.1 running on Windows 2000 or 2003 server. Please provide any scripts if you can. Thank you and have a great day!
David

Of course, you could also use a simple RMAN script, depending on what you are trying to achieve exactly:
RUN
allocate channel c01 type disk format 'c:\backup\%d%U';
backup database;
backup archivelog all delete input;
}This is just a sample. And you need to choose how you'll use RMAN.

RAC backup procedure failover

We have Oracle 11gR2 RAC database on two nodes. We also have a RMAN backup script that works fine, using a recovery catalog database which is located in a town 20km from the data center. The script for database backup works fine, and is started from crontab Job or from Oracle dbconsole (for now it works from crontab). A recovery procedure is checked and everything is working properly.
The problem is that the script runs from the first node in the cluster, and if the node is turned off, backup can't be run. How can we ensure that our script have a failover backup version. We also tried to do the backup over dbconsole but this only works if the node from which to start job was started.
Essentially the question is "How to ensure that our backup works, whether or not both nodes are active"

Essentially the question is "How to ensure that our backup works, whether or not both nodes are active"Don't use nodes of clusterware to start backup. You can use the host of recovery catalog database which is located in a town 20km.
Move all scripts of rman to host of recovery catalog and configure the scripts in crontab of host of recovery catalog. The RMAN works as client only the backup is always performed on server side.
Create a Service on RAC to RMAN connect (e.g RMAN_BACKUP). The service should run on nodes 1 of the RAC, but is able to run on node 2 or 3 if nodes 1 are not available. (If you use the default service name of RAC (name of database) and you are using parallelism the RMAN can start a session in each node and the backup be perfomed by all nodes at same time, this is not a problem, but you can have perfomance problems on your environment). Because that I recommend create a Service.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/rac.112/e16795/hafeats.htm
Configure a net service name using the local naming method on host of recovery catalog.
If you are using SCAN Feature do this above, if not put all VIP hostnames on Address.
e.g:
RMAN_BACKUP =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = node-scan.oracle.com)(PORT = 1521))
     (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = RMAN_BACKUP)
)Regardless of the node that is active your backup will be started if a node is active
This will only work if you are performing online backup. I hope so.
Hope this helps,

Backup Procedure using stream in 11G

Hi,
I want to work (test) with new backup and recovery methods using streams.
I also want to know about the new backup and recovery technologies.
I will appreciate if I get the idea from this forum about it.
Madni

By the way, in the thread you are linking, you made a big "recut" or "copy&paste" of a metalink note, you should take care, copy&paste a metalink note is forbidden and break your terms of usage contracts with Oracle support.Hi Nicholas,
Thanks for the suggestion. I thought I am giving the script which I used to test streams functionality. But yes, I'm right.
Some points which makes it different from the metalink note. I request you to notice it.
1. My post doesn't describe how to establish log transfer.
2. The metalink note is explained using single schema, my post is showing with two schemas (This clarifies that two or more schemas can be managed with a single capture/apply process).
3. The metalink note doesn't describe +ve or -ve rules. I have used -ve rules to exclude database objects.
My testing started after going through that metalink note. This may be why it appeared the same to you. Apart from that I have clearly mentioned in the post that I have used that metalink note as reference(I have utilized Oracle: Replication administrator's Guide also). Believe me it's not copied and pasted.
Regards,
S.K.

Backup procedure freezing

I have tried to backup my phone using the desktop manager, downloaded the newest version too, and when I try and back up my device data, as well as update applications which has to backup the phone first, my phone freezes and I have to pull the battery.
In the older version of the desktop software it was showing me that it was stalling on BBGroups and in the newer version it just stops towards the end of the process.
Any suggestions?

I am having the same problem and everything was working prior to the desktop and phone upgrade. The desktop software just hangs on the backup portion specifically the BBGroups and this is is all I see now. I have to pull the battery to restore the phone and use the task manager to get out of the desktop software.
