System backup and recovery

I bought this notebook i.e HP envy 15 with pre-installed windows 8 64 bit ... upgraded to 8.1 and created a recovery set..... later on HDD corrupted.... I recovered the system .. it recovered but windows was not active .... i seeked helped on forum and thanks to HP, Jeff and Omer  whose help worked for me.... now HP support assisstant is informing me to creat a recovery set....... Should I creat a recovery set again and will this time, god forbade if HDD again corrupts, I have to seek help on forum? And can I delete the HP recovery drive to increase space on HDD?

, Hello and thanks for posting on the HP support forums.  It wouldn't hurt to create a new recovery.  It shouldn't harm anything.  As for it being active when you reload I could not tell you.  It should be just fine unless something strange happens when the recovery is made. Thanks again for posting and have a great day.

  • Backup and Recovery procedures for production system

    I am trying to decide and test a best backup/recovery approach for our DBXML database in the production environment. Right now I am trying to go through the documentation.
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/gsg_txn/CXX/filemanagement.html
    What is the best option among offline, hot and incremental backups?
    I am thinking of implementing incremental backups.
    What are the constraints in implementing incremental backups? Is there a detailed step by step example to do this?
    Can I test the backup and recovery procedures by copying the db files and log files from Linux (production) environment to my local machine (Windows XP)? I see only one log.00000000xx file in production and staging environments. It is of same size 52428800 in all our environments (both production and staging) at this point of time.
    What is __db.001 file? What is the significance of this file in backup and recovery procedures?
    A detailed input with example is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advancs

    Raghu,
    A couple of points, up front:
    1. the __db* files are the environment (cache, locks, various shared memory regions), and are not part of backup, other than the fact that you need to checkpoint or otherwise flush your cache to your database(s) for a full backup.
    2. log files are not architecture-neutral. That is you can't use a log file created on linux and just use it safely on another hardware platform. It's OK to copy them around, but they can only be used on the same architecture that created them. Database files (containers) are entirely portable among hardware and operating system platforms.
    I don't know of a step-by-step cookbook for backups. This is because of the variations among application needs. However, the procedures described on this page are pretty straightforward:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/gsg_txn/CXX/backuprestore.html
    I'm not sure what you mean by "constraints" on incremental backups. The only constraint is that you need to have a full backup first, or you won't be able to recover properly. Based on what I said above, the other constraint is that you'll only be able to recover on a machine of the same architecture as the one that created the log files.
    As for testing, you can certainly copy your database and log files to your Windows machine, treating Windows as an offline backup. If you want to test recovery, you need to copy the files back to Linux. You'll start seeing additional log files when your log data starts to exceed the configured log file size.
    Let me know if you need more clarification,
    Regards,
    George

    Hi Alok,
    why there is a need for standby here? you mean to say standby db?
    what i exactly need is , whether i will be making use of archivelogs which are all archived during that backup period (in mount stage) after some days, if i face any problem with the PRODUCTION Database..

  • Which one is the Best Backup and Recovery Method in your point of view?

    Friends,
    Currently we are taking hot backup with archive mode.
    we have backup script to copy the datafile and we will copy the archive files in a separate folder.
    alter tablespace system begin backup;
    host cp /u01/app/oracle/oradata/livedb/system.dbf /u02/online_backup
    alter tablespace system end backup;
    like the above script we will copy all the other data files.
    then in the test environment. we will copy the datafile and archive file.
    we will be recovering by using the below statement.
    sql>recover database until cancel using backup controlfile.
    currently no problem in backup and recovery.
    What i want is......
    is there any other sophisticated and safe way to take a backup and restore it to another server?
    if yes, can anybody point out the steps or link.
    I have heard about......
    DataGuard
    RMAN
    EXP/IMP
    but i never used the above.
    Thanks
    sathyguy

    DataGuard
    RMAN
    EXP/IMP ...
    The only real backup/recovery method here is RMAN, Oracle's integrated backup/recovery tool, which I prefer. As an example for a fully functional RMAN command see 'backup database plus archivelog delete all input'. This statement provides a complete hot database backup including archivelogs and deletes at the successful end all archivelogs in all destinations . Compare this statement with all the steps necessary to do the same job manually. Don't worry you have many ways to finetune your backup.
    For more informations there's a quick start guide:
    http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14193/toc.htm
    Dataguard is a high availibility tool, which provides a kind of backup in terms of having a logical or physical standby database. When primary side fails you can switch to this standby database. Such a constellation does not mean, database backups are no longer necessary.
    Export/Import is a logical backup, still often used to recover from human errors (you accidentally dropped a table for example). Don't use it as a replacement for physical backups, especially hot backups,in case of media failures you always will have loss of data, because changes made afterwards the export are not captured.
    Once again I recommend you seriously should consider RMAN.

  • About Backup and Recovery in a distribuited enviroment

    Hi.
    I've read that if you more that one DB (say 2) connected in a distribuited enviroment, all DBs must be recovered in case one of your DBs fails.
    I'd like to clarify the folloiwng issues:
    - It that 100% true, i mean isn't an exception to that rule?.
    - What happens if one DB is in archive mode and the other is not?
    - Why do i have to restore both DBs if there's one one in trouble?.
    - Isn't there a way to tell recovery process that you don't want restore or apply the distributed data, since you know that data is already there (at least in the case of complete recovery)?
    Thanks in advance ...!

    I couldn't find much info on the topic for 9i (you don't mention your version), but found this in the Backup and Recovery Concepts manuls:
    "If the database is a member of a distributed database system, then all databases in the system should operate in the same archiving mode. Note the consequences and constraints contained in the following table.
    Mode Constraint Consequence
    ARCHIVELOG
    Closed cleanly
    Backups at each node can be performed autonomously, that is, individually and without time coordination.
    NOARCHIVELOG
    Closed cleanly
    Consistent whole database backups must be performed at the same global time to plan for global distributed database recovery. For example, if a database in New York is backed up at midnight EST, the database in San Francisco should be backed up at 9 PM PST."
    Therefore, I wouldn't recommend having one database in archivelog mode and the other not. As far as your last question is concerned, I'd say that Oracle won't try any recovery if there isn't a need for it (if the data is already there), but that could be tested to confirm. I think that you need to read carefully the RAC concepts manual, and try some backup/recovery scenarios hopefully on a test box.

  • Dell Inprision 2330 Backup and Recovery error message 0x4001100200001005

    A week ago, there were problems with the computer Dell Inprision 2330, and I'm using a Dell Backup and Recovery to restore the disk C to the image stored on the dvd disks. 3 days ago the computer began to hang when windows starts. I decided again to restore the system with dvd, but this time got the error message 0x4001100200001005.
    Tried to restore the image to another drive, but the error appears again.
    Other recovery media then dvd-disks "dell backup and recovery" I don't have.
    Please help.

    I was very disappointed with this buggy system recovery. After I got tired of trying to restore the system, I found a post "Download Windows 8.1 Retail and OEM.iso". Did everything according to instructions. Now the computer is running. Activation performed automatically.
    Recovery Media disks thrown in the trash.

  • Backup and Recovery from Archive Log

    Dear all,
    I implemented hot backup with oracle9i and
    Can anybody suggest me how to backup and recovery archive log ?
    Thanks for advance.
    Chara

    assuming you are using RMAN for backup -
    backup ( archivelog all );
    backup ( archivelog all delete input ); - to delete from file system.
    If you are not using RMAN but backup using a script which puts the tablespaces in hot backup mode then you just need to backup archive log directory.
    The archive logs are required when you need to do a database recovery. You don't recover archive log files.

  • Backup and recovery oracle XE

    Hi, oracle guru.
    I have searched in google how to backup and recover to and from removable disk or hard disk (in separated folder) in oracle XE 10g, but I didn't found any.
    I tried to use backup and recovery database given from oracle itself, and I analyze which file is added and modified. I do somekind of trial and error action. First, I backup my database and then I copy 2 files (I forgot the names, 1 is about 853 kb, and one is the backup file (about 500 mb)). And then I do some user deletion (I have several users) and then I backup and copy again to different folder from the previous one. Note that I am not using archive log: on.
    Unfortunately, when I copy the previous backup (the one with complete users) to oracle folder, the restore database does work until, I guess starting database, it throws error saying that something error in SYSTEM.DBF, thus making my oracle doesn't work, even I canot go to database home page.
    My question is that how to backup and recover database to and from removable disk or harddisk with different folder? Which files do I need to copy or should I add backup and recover script?
    Thanks for the reply.

    Yes, as I already mentioned, previously (assumes) that I have database with several users (say 5 users). And I use backup database and restore database from oracle folder in start menu, and it works perfectly (assuming that I delete one user and then restore database).
    However, I tried to copy the backup file (which I mentioned before, but I am not sure the files I am copying is backup file since I only analyzed it). So, I test it. First I backup, and I copy to separate folder. Next, I do some user deletion, and I do backup. Say, for example I want to use that backup file in another computer. I copy the files to oracle installation folder. One in product/database/ folder, and one in flash-recovery area. When I try to use restore database (in start menu), it works, until, I guess, starting database, and it throws error saying that error in SYSTEM.DBF.
    So, my point is that, how do I backup my database so that the backup file can be in separated folder (for example in removable disk), thus I can also select backup file to be restored.

  • Backup and Recovery Plan

    I know very little backup and recovery plan in oracle using RMAN or any agent.
    Is this right way to summarize the backup and recovery plan for 24 X 7 system required to have 99.99% up time.
    The backup and recovery strategy recommended below is based on the premise that database is set ‘ARCHIVE LOG’ mode.
    The database files must be backed up using an RMAN backup (or tape agent i.e. Oracle Agent for Veritas) to allow for recovery of corrupted files or files on failed volumes. These archive logs and RMAN backups should be written to a directory on a separate volume from any other database files. It is not recommended to store RMAN backups in the Oracle Control files. The RMAN backups and archive logs and document images are then written to tape in accordance with the GFS backup strategy.
    Any suggestions and inputs would be helpful
    Thanks

    It was a generic note for the productions databases, i.e. have db in archivelog mode, take backups through RMAN to TAPE or on disk which will be used in case of disaster or media recovery.
    You need to decide what kind backup and recovery policy you need to have and where you are going to copy/place the backup.
    Just keeping in mind the following:
    1. How quickly the database can be recovered in case of disaster/media recovery.
    2.Make sure no transaction are lot, in another way, recovery until point of time.
    3. What kind of policy you need, incremental, cummulative or full backup.

  • Backup and Recovery Strategy?

    Hi,
    I have been asked to provide/formulate backup and recovery strategy for the new Oracle env being built. Currently, this all is being done by 3rd party and they won't share anything with me :-) Client will take over the servers in near future.
    Here is some info of the environment:
    Env: There are four production databases. All are 10gR2 (10.2.0.5) on RHE Linux 5.8. All transactions on the databases are through various batch jobs and then the data is used by some search engines/applications.
    Current backup info: There is one level-1 incremental backup done on daily basis and a level-0 is done weekly. Plus, archivelogs are backed up every hour. After each level-1 successful backup, the archivelog backed up that day are deleted. I guess same is the case with level-0 backups. The retention is 30-days.
    New env: I have been told that backups will NOT go to tapes. Instead, they will be stored on the disk. So I assume no special backup software (netbackup, comvault, etc) will be used. I have tried but no one is confirming this assumption.
    I believe above approach can be reused. But if I prepare a "Backup and Recovery Strategy document" with this detail, it will be a one-page document. I am not sure if that is sufficient information to go into such document.
    Please advise what else must be considered, asked and documented.
    Best regards

    I found the backup and recovery guide (https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c09a069c-6a3f-2b10-3399-e0ed04d866f8), and it gives a good high level overview, but I need a little more info.
    Questions: 
    1.  The guide states that "The Central Management Server (CMS) and all job-processing and Performance Management servers should be stopped by an automated script."  Is there a specific order that the servers need to be stopped and started in?  Would anyone be willing to share their script?
    2.  I assume that when the servers are down, anything scheduled to run during that time will be lost.  i.e., the server won't check for missed jobs caused by the stopped state once the it resumes, correct?
    3.  The only thing that I need to back up on the file system is the contents of FileStore (C:Program FilesBusiness ObjectsBusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5FileStore*.*), correct?
    4.  This looks like a vanilla install using MySql.  Would anyone be willing to share their MySql backup scripts?  Is there a default password for MySql?  How can I determine this password?  How many databases are there? 
    5.  I plan to create a backup script that stops the servers, copies the FileStore path to a backup folder (using xcopy to preserve the archive attribute), have MySql generate a backup file to the same folder, and then start the servers.  This folder will be written to tape nightly (fulls on weekends, incrementals during the week).  Is there anything else that I might need to backup?  Config files?  Ini's?
    Thanks!!!

    1. There is no specific order, but last to go down should be CMS and first to come up should be CMS.
    @echo off
    Stop Business Objects Services
    echo
    net stop "BOBJCrystalReportApplicationServer"
    net stop "BOBJEventServer"
    net stop "BOBJProgramServer"
    net stop "BOBJOutputFileServer"
    net stop "BOBJProcessServer"
    net stop "BOBJInputFileServer"
    net stop "BOBJDestinationServer"
    net stop "BOBJCrystalReportspageserver"
    net stop "BOBJJobServer_Report"
    net stop "BOBJCentralMS"
    exit
    Similarly to Start services, instead of stop use start and put CentralMS at the top and save it as a batch file.
    2. Jobs running when the server goes down will fail, other recurring jobs will wait till the server comes up.
    3. Yes, backup File Store & Database.
    4. Not sure about the default password for My SQL, you should be able to backup the MySQL database, I have done that once.
    5. Backup FileStore & Database.

  • I want to find any backup and recovery solution for SharePoint server 2013 enterprise

    Dear Expertise,
    Recent set up SharePoint server 2013 Enterprise, and looking for backup and recovery solution, does the built in Windows Backup can handle it, and how?
    KF

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to know some backup and restore solution for SharePoint 2013.
    There are two Technet articles about the backup and restore, you can have a look at them.

    You can also use some third-part software tools to achieve the same scenario.
