Taking rman backup from a different server

HI Al,
Is it possible for us run the rman backup from a different server other than the server on which database exist .
For Ex :
Our database is on server X
But , I want to schedulde the archive backup from the server Y .
How can we do this and is it possible ...

Yes, as long the RMAN executable is compatible to the target database, on metalink:

Restoring RMAN backup on a different server

Hi oracle gurus
i have following scenario
i have a compressed backup set of a database
i want to restore that rman backup on to a different server.
both the server have same version of oracle.and both the server are of 32 bit.
please reply if any more info is required.

RESTORE AND RECOVERY PROCEDURE OF PRODUCTION DATABASE BACKUP ON TEST SERVERS
As part of disaster recovery exercise or to test the validity of a RMAN backup, a full restore and recovery of databases can be performed on scratch or test servers utilising the production RMAN backups which have been restored from the tape backups on these test or scratch servers.
This note will illustrate the above procedure by detailing the steps required to restore the backup of a production database (prod1) on a test server linux01 .
The following assumptions are made in this note:
The RMAN backups have been restored from tape backups to the same backup location on the test server as the production server where the backup was originally taken
The identical directory structure as is present on production has been created on the test server. This will apply to not only the location of the database files (data, control files, redo log files), but also to the bdump,cdump, udump and adump locations.
Controlfile autobackup has been enabled. This is important.
Overview
Restore the spfile from the autobackup
Restore the controlfile from the autobackup
Restore the data files
Recover by applying archived redo log files
Open the database with resetlogs
Restore the SPFILE
[oracle@linux01 prod1]$ rman target /
connected to target database (not started)
RMAN> set dbid=4266928631
executing command: SET DBID
RMAN> startup force nomount;

RMAN> run
2> {SET CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/u02/backup/prod1/%F';
3> restore spfile from autobackup;
4> }
RMAN> shutdown immediate;
Restore the Control File
In this case, the instance is now being started with the restored spfile. We can create a pfile as well from this spfile is so required.
RMAN> startup nomount
connected to target database (not started)
Oracle instance started
RMAN> set dbid=4266928631

RMAN> run
2> {SET CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/u02/backup/prod1/%F';
3> restore controlfile from autobackup;
4> }
RMAN> alter database mount;
database mounted
released channel: ORA_DISK_1
Restore the database
RMAN> restore database;
Recover the database
The recovery will fail at a point where it cannot restore any more archived redo log files.
In this case the last archived log file which has been backed up is sequence 613.
This information can be obtained by issuing a LIST BACKUP OF ARCHIVELOG ALL command.
So RMAN will fail when it tries to apply sequence 614 ….
RMAN> recover database
[oracle@linux01 PROD1]$ rman target /

RMAN> sql 'alter database open resetlogs';

I am getting below error while taking RMAN backup.

Friends,
I am getting below error while taking RMAN backup.
The issue is related with a lock while trying to backup the controlfile.
The lock is more likely caused by the autobackup controlfile process started just before RMAN process was also trying the backup controlfile as shown in the following alert.log excerpt.

RMAN backup restoring to new server help!

I'm using Oracle 8.1.7. The production database was copied (datafiles, controlfile etc) to a NEW server that I'm trying to set up as a development DB. I take full database backups using RMAN from the production server, and I want to restore them on the development server. I think I somehow have to specify the filename/location of the backup file but I can't seem to figure out how to do it.
I am not using a recovery catalog.
Any help is appreciated.

If you restore the controlfile backup to the development server RMAN
will "read" the expected location of the backupsets from there.
In 8i you cannot use the CATALOG command so you have to copy all
the backupsets to the same path on the development server as on the
production server.
Once you have your init.ora and controlfiles in place (and created the
expected target directory structure for the database and redolog files),
you can use STARTUP MOUNT and thene RESTORE from RMAN.
I believe that you should be able to rename files in 8i RMAN as well.
If not, you'll have to stick to restoring to the same location.
The key thing is that the controlfile records the "location" of the RMAN backupsets
and the "location" where datafiles are to be restored to.

RMAN Backup from windows to Linux

Hi,
I am having Windows 2003 server Oracle 10.2
and I have RHEL5 and Oracle 10.2
I have taken a RMAN Oracle Database Backup from windows..
I have installed oracle software on RHEL5 and now i need to restore this backup to the Linux
it is possible to restore it? if possible can any one let me know the process?
Regards,
Vijayaraghavan K

I have another doubt
I took RMAN full DB Backup - it comes around 2.5 G (performed on time 9.00 A.M morning)
When i perform differential incremental backup it comes around 2.6 G (performed on time 9.45 A.M )
Why it is coming like this.. The backup should happen only for the changed blocks alone?? i.e it should come around 10 Mb or 20 Mb?? Why is like this? or my understanding of differential backup is wrong?
I issued the below commands for Full DB Backup and Incremental Backup...
FULL DB backup at 9.00 A.M
RMAN> BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 0 DATABASE;
Differentail Backup a 9.45 A.M
RMAN> BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1 DATABASE;

is this required RMAN in catalog mode ?

Disastor Recovery with RMAN : Restore backup on new separate Server
Edited by: 873142 on Jul 18, 2011 9:27 PM

If you use a recovery catalog and want to duplicate database in a fresh server.
1. connect with the target database.
2. connect with the recovery catalog.
3. connect with the auxiliary database.
4. Run the duplicate command.
Before running the duplicate command copy the backup piece to your fresh server from the target server. Both mount point should be same.

RMAN backup from remote pc !

Dear Friends ,
In my database Linux server I have no enough space to take RMAN backup since my database size around 90 GB .
So in this moment I want to take the rman backup form remote machine(From windows or Linux), where all the datafile backup of my Linux database server also goes to the remote machine . is it possible to do ?
Or is there any way to take RMAN backup(datafile,controlfile,spfile backup from server to client) from remote machine without increasing the HDD space of the Local server ?
Waiting for your kind reply ... ...

Use third party tools like data-protector or use Oracle secure backup to make backups other than local server.

Time machine backup from 10.6 server to Lion

Hi
I am running a Mac mini Server with SL Server, but I do not use the server features, it's pretty much a regular workstation. Now I want to upgrade to Lion (workstation) by formatting the hard drive and do a clean install. My question is if it is possible to restore my user data from the Time Machine backup done in SL Server during the setup of Lion? Are those os'es backups compatible or do I have to manually backup my home directory and user data and add everything after finishing the Lion install?
Thanks in advance
/Niclas

Thanks for your reply.
I guess that on 10.6 as far as TM is concerned the server version is exactly the same as the client version, except that we don't have the benefit of Migration Assistant to do the inherit for us.
I am using a USB disc for TM.
I can see that under Backup.backupdb I have a folder named after the old server, which contains the backups.
I did try simply renaming that to the new server name, just in case the solution might be that simple. But I get "operation not permitted". It's not a permissions problem, and doing chflags nouchg doesn't help. I guess it could be the schg flag, but I'm reluctant to try too hard in case I lose the old backups.
Soooooo I think I am out of options and the only thing I can do is as you say and start again.

Restore RMAN backup from tape

I have to restore the RMAN full backup from tape to new host to a previous date say March 1st. My target database RMAN retention period is 28 days, today is 11th May.
Is it possible to restore the obsolete database from tape backup to new host as of May 1st. If not possible, I would like to restore the available backup say as 15th April from tape to new host.
Can you please provide me the steps to restore the tape old backup to new host.
Thanks,

Restoring RMAN backup from tape beyond retention policy ??

Hello Friends,
I just stuck in some basic finding. Need your help to resolve the questions.
How we can use RMAN backup to restore oracle database when the RMAN backup pushed to tape already and being a OLD backup ( before retention policy date).
Just to elaborate a more.. Say my retention policy is 3 days. I want to restore from a old backup like 30 days old.
So surely the requesting backup is behind retention date and has been pushed to tape.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sinha.

Assuming the actual backup files still exist (the only thing actually deleted is the record of them in the catalog), you can make those files available and use the rman 'catalog' command to re-catalog them.
