Test Restore Of Backup On Seperate Host

I want to test my backup by restoring the full backup of my production database on a seperate test host.All my RMAN backup's are at primary side on a disk.My doubt here is when i issue
restore backup command at test host how rman recoginzes the backup sets which is actually at production side and restore it at test host.In other words how can we make the backup set avaliable at production side to be accessible at test host while restoring.
Thankx...

You would need to make the backups available to the test system, either by copying them (to exact the same location!) or setting up NFS (making sure the directory on the test system has the same name as on the source system)

Restoring Rman backup on New Host with different directory structure

Hi,
I have a following scenario to clone the database.
1. clone the database on new server
2. source is non - ASM and target is ASM
3. On source incremental level 0 backup taken on disk connecting to catalog, the backup is moved to target host to different directory structure
4. source is running on 32-bit Linux two node Rac and Target is running on 64-bit Linux two node Rac
I did the following steps and getting below error:
1. I copied incremental Level 0 backup to target server(where we need to build new db) to different directory structure
2. On target i created pfile and build the instance, as dbf file are in multiple locations in source i put following tow parameters in init.ora of target database
*.db_file_name_convert =(/u02/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA2/udev/datafile),(/u03/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile),(/u12/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile,),(/u99/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile),(/u09/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile),(/u14/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile),(/u07/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile),(/u06/oradata/prod/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile'),(/u05/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile)
*.log_file_name_convert =("/u99/oradata/app1p/","+QADATA2/udev/onlinelog/")
3. connected to rman -->> started db in nomount -->> restored the controlfile --> cataloged the backup piece and then i am trying to restore
All the above steps i did using the Doc id *How To Restore Rman Backups On A Different Node When The Directory Structures Are Different [ID 419137.1]*
script i am using is :

To restore backup on different host using RMAN

Hi All,
Friend I need your help once again. I want to restore my database from the past backup to new HOST by keeping the original database intact using RMAN. Let me explain the scenario:-
Databas Version - 8.1.7
OS - Solaris 5.8
We are using RMAN with Tivoli as third party media management. I just need to restore the database from this tape library using RMAN with recovery catalog on new server. The only doubt I have is how I will make the backups of the production database whose backup has to be restored available on the new host where I have to create new database.
I will be using different file structure for the newly restored database. Do I have to create TDPO files seperately on the server on which I have to restore the database.
Please reply asap.
Regards
Harpreet Singh

You need to create a tdpo.opt file of source on the destination database. Then, allocate channel using this TDPO_OPTFILE and recover database.

Test Restore Database Instance from Cold backup

Hi - I have a customer who is using an Oracle database instance not in archivelog mode
currently, I have managed to persuade them to backup at least weekly using an RMAN cold backup.
Prior to my being allowed to do anything else they want to perform a test restore from the cold backup
I want to find a simple procedure to do this which will enable me to tick the box then hopefully I may be able to persuade them that Hot Backups are the way to go.
Has anyone got any good suggestions for this please?

Ah if only things were quite so simple - my hands are tied somewhat there isn't a second machine available at the moment so I was hoping to be able to run a test restore to the same machine !
No they do not worry about data in this situation - Oracle is used almost as a query engine maybe a very odd solution as the actual data is not really held within this oracle database but the resultant queries are!
Anyway I think I will just do a virtual restore using the restore database validate command then armtwist a couple of managers!
One of the areas they had difficulty with is that apparently they had archivelogging on but the rate of writing archivelogs was huge and it was affecting performance. I am not knowledgeable enough to know how to tune that problem!!

Using RMAN "copy datafile" to restore db on a different host

Hi,
DB 8.1.7 (Standard Edition) on Windows Server 2000 SP4.
Database is in Archivelog mode. RMAN uses a catalog database.
The client does not want to spend money to upgrade the application (which only supports 8i - old app), therefore we have to relocate the database onto a new hardware (the machine is also old):
Here is how I backup the database every night (I also make an OS copy of archivelogs on an hourly basis):
echo run {
echo allocate channel d1 type disk;
echo backup
echo tag db_full
echo format '\\backupserver\backups\prodserver\rman\df_u%%u_s%%s_p%%p_t%%t'
echo database;
echo copy current controlfile to '\\backupserver\backups\prodserver\rman\DB_CONTROL01.ctl';
echo sql 'alter system archive log current';
echo backup
echo format '\\backupserver\backups\prodserver\rman\al_u%%u_s%%s_p%%p_t%%t'
echo archivelog all
echo delete input;
echo release channel d1;
echo resync catalog;
echo }
) | d:\orahome\bin\rman.exe target sys/***@db_ded rcvcat rman/rman@rpdb > D:\oracle_backup_db\rman_db_backup.logNow on a new 2003 server with database installed and rman catalog created, I am trying to restore my backups from the productions.
After reading some online documents forums, I noticed that if I do not have image copies of datafiles, controlfile, and archivelogs I CANNOT catalog them on this new database.
So, I want to create image copies when the database is in normal open state. What will I need to do get the new server to the same state as the production server? I know I will have to do media recovery, therefore copy and catalog the archivelogs created after the image copy was created.
What are the steps to do this?
If I create an image copy of a datafile on the production database and move that file to another location (to the new server with OS commands), will that affect a possible restore I might have to perform on the production database? I have space concerns on the production db so I do not want to keep them there and want to delete them after I test restoring them to the new server.
Is this the best method to move this database to a host with the same name same folder structure?
Thanks in advance,
Sinan

Hello;
I'm not a windows guy but you could move the database cold using scp.
Putty has PSCP here :
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
You can create the scp batch file using SQL
set heading off
set feedback off
set pagesize 100
set linesize 400
select 'scp '||a.name ||' server_name:' || a.name as newname from v$datafile a;
select 'scp '||a.name ||' server_name:' || a.name as newname from v$controlfile a;
select 'scp '||a.member ||' server_name:' || a.member as newname from v$logfile a;So shutdown the database and move the files. Restart do your RMAN backup and your done.
The only issue I can is 2003 server probably does not have an SCP service like Unix.
Here's a couple links to address that :

[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!

a) Does the directory structur exist on the new server :

Yep, I have doubled check the directory structure that get in the way, and they are all exist.
Would it be something to do with the folder permissions?

b) Apparently a RESETLOGS has been issued on 07-Nov. Which controflile backup do you have restored and mounted on the new server ? It should be the one after the RESETLOGS.

Is there a way to clean up data without restore and backup?

I noticed recently that too much data is being silently stored on my iPad possibly be apps and caches.
Isn't iOS supposed to clean up data as it needs free storage?
most recently, according to usage in settings > general, I had 1.8 GB of free space. I wanted to install an app that is 2GB in size. iOS told me there was not enough free space. I could not find what used so much data, and frankly this time the list of apps in settings > general > usage proved to be pointless. Adding the numbers together of how much space the apps were using up was nowhere near enough to leave me with only 1.8 GB of free space.
I did a backup, then restored my iPad. After that, I restored the backup with all apps and data I had before. Now I have 7.2 GB free space. 5.4 GB of temporary and junk files, with no way of erasing them, is quite frustrating.
Anyone knows a solution or shall I just restore my iPad pretty much every 2-3 weeks? (Yes, the last 5 or 6 restores I have performed were solely for freeing up storage space that mysteriously keep being filled up.)
Additionally, how do I find out which apps use up so much space when settings > general > usage doesn't tell me anything? Only how much space the app itself needs and how much permanent (user generated) data is being stored. Such as pictures, save game files, and so on, but nothing about cache sizes temporary data.
PS: if the above was asked and answered before, please accept my apologies and could you link me the topic it has been resolved in?

Hi! And thanks for your reply!
It sounds sensible. Since the last restore which was just over a day at the time of me writing this reply, there is over 1GB of data unaccounted for. Note that I have not installed new apps, nor DLCs within games. The two I have been using heavily are Netflix and Youtube, both of which should automatically erase temporary data. Or so they claim.
However, there was a period when I had my iPad on charger overnight. When I woke up, just out of curiosity I checked the usage statistics and I found my free space was about 200 MB less than when I checked immediately before goong to bed. So the iPad was not used at all and somehow I lost 200MB.
I did try a software for Windows called Phone Clean, but that didn't help. Before the restore, I ran a deep scan, and it only cleaned up about 500MB of data even though there was nearly 5GB unaccounted for. I performed the restore, and that was when I thought this is beyond me, and posted this topic.
I have also noticed that when I watch a movie with the Videos app by streaming from iTunes instead of downloading, after watching it, the storage will not get freed up. The movie is still there (as confirmed by trying to actually download another that was larger than the current free space, then the previous movie file was indeed deleted by iOS automatically) but it does not show up in usage > videos. According to iOS the Videos.app has no data within.
I'll try a full reset soon and see how it goes. Obviously it will take some time to test it, but I'll let you know of any results. Luckily, I don't have many apps that don't use iCloud storage so their data should be there despite dropping the backup, and installing them clean should be easy using iTunes on a PC.
If that doesn't help, I go one step further and download the apps one by one.
Well, there is plan.
To be honest, it would really be helpful if we could see individual app containers as that way we can easily find out which app is being naughty.
Any way, thanks for the tip! Give me a couple of days and I'll let you know how it went.

If I need a full rman restore which backups will it use?

Hello,
I have a database 11.1.0.7 with 8TB. Block change tracking is enabled.
At the weekend I take level 0 backup and during the week level 1 cumulative.
For some weeks the level 0 backup is failing, so I only have level 1 cumulative backups taken every week day with a 4 weeks old level 0 backup.
If I need a full rman restore which backups will it use? Will it be the last level 0 backup with the last level 1 cumulative?
I ask this because grid crontrol tells me that the recent level 1 backups input size is smaller than last week level 1 backups and in between I dont have any level 0 sucessfull backups. Shouldn't the input size of level 1 cumulative increase until the next level 0 backup ?
The grid reports:

From http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28270/rcmvalid.htm
Validating Backups Before Restoring Them
You can run RESTORE ... VALIDATE to test whether RMAN can restore a specific file or set of files from a backup. RMAN chooses which backups to use.
The database must be mounted or open for this command. You do not have to take datafiles offline when validating the restore of datafiles, because validation of backups of the datafiles only reads the backups and does not affect the production datafiles.
When validating files on disk or tape, RMAN reads all blocks in the backup piece or image copy. RMAN also validates offsite backups. The validation is identical to a real restore operation except that RMAN does not write output files.
You can monitor what RESTORE VALIDATE does.
Make precautions, so you do not damage the production DB!!!

Error while restoring the backup

HI,
We have taken the offline backup through BRtools but we have used rman to take the backup in init.SID.sap. We have succeeded in taking the backup of the database and it has saved in .S format. Now when we are restoring with Brrestore it is giving the below error. Can any one suggest how to restore the backup.

Is your backup got completed succesfully?

Creating a test database from backups of the production

Hello Experts,
I am a newbie with very much new in Oracle. I have been provided with the inc0 backup(which comprises even the controlfile backup) of the production database (PROD) taken through RMAN and asked to create a new test database (TEST) using the backup. Can anyone please provide me the steps on how to restore it and create the new database ?
Database version 10.2.0.4
I am aware of duplicate database concept using RMAN, but I have been asked to not to connect to the target (PROD) database while duplicating. So, I need to create the test database by using the backup of prod database without connecting to PROD database. Please guide me.

Refer
http://arjudba.blogspot.in/2008/05/restore-and-recover-database-to-new.html
RMAN restore database from another backup of different database name
When you are restoring using the backup of the production database, the db_name would be same on the auxiliary database. Once you restore and recover the database in your test server, you can change the db_name from prod to test by recreating the controlfile

Camera roll empty but shows 6.1 gb. Restored to original settings after backing up. When I restored the backup camera roll still shows 6.1 gb and is till empty. I imagine that the backup contains some corruption

Hi cfgolf,
Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities. I agree with your assessment that something is going on with that previous backup. If you restored from that backup and the issue continues, I would recommend restoring and Set up as new. Before you restore, make sure you Transfer content so that you can sync it back after setting up as new. The instructions on how to Transfer content and Set up as new are both listed in this article.
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4137
2. Transfer content
Before you erase your device, take a few minutes to transfer your content from your device to your computer to ensure that all your critical data is safe.
6. Set up as new
Complete the setup assistant. When prompted to set up your device, select Set Up as New iPhone and tap Next to continue.
Skip the Apple ID sign-in, in case the original issue was related to any of your content on iCloud.
Note: After setting up as new, you will need to enter the Visual Voicemail password for iPhone (on carriers that support Visual Voicemail). If you've forgotten the password, contact your carrier to help you reset it.
After erasing and setting up as a new device, your device is now in a factory configuration. Test to determine if erasing and setting up as a new device resolved the issue. Content on the device may have caused unexpected behavior.
If the issue is still present, you may want to contact Apple Support.
If the issue is now resolved, sync one type of content at a time back to the device. For example, if you had an issue playing music, add songs from iTunes and confirm they will play. If your contacts weren't loading successfully, add the contacts back. After each sync, test to see if the issue has returned.
Cheers,
-Joe

How to test restore in another server?

Hi,
I want to test full backup (hot backup using RMAN) of my DB (11.2 SE) on another server (I didn't install DB on yet).
Saad,

to test the backup -which is done by third party softwareHow you restore really depends on how you backup the database !
Without knowing how the backup is done it would be incorrect to advice a single method to test restoration.
Nevertheless, you need to start with an installation of Oracle software (RDBMS, Binaries) on the new test server. You would have to install the same Oracle RDBMS Release and Version as the one that is running in your production server (where the backup was taken). If the third party software incorporates media management libraries, you'd need to install and configure them as well. Thereafter, the restore command depends on how the backup is done.

How to temporarily suspend backups for a host?

We are running production OSB backups for a site with approximately 50 filesystems,
consisting of full, incremental, quarterly archive, and on-demand archive backups.
Our installation consists of
o administration master - obtool version 10.4.0.2.0 (64-bit OEL 5.8)
o media servers - obtool version 10.4.0.2 (64-bit OEL 5.8)
o SL8500 library - managed by ACSLS 8.1 with admin server attach point
Problem:
We recently lost a ZFS storage appliance storage pool due to pool corruption.
All backed-up filesystems were restored to another host pending a rebuild of
the corrupted ZFSSA.
Currently all backups are fail because they cannot communicate with the down
host. We want to suspend all attempts to back up the corrupted host pending
the rebuild. We have tried taking the host out of service via 'chhost -O'
but the scheduler launches backups that hang indefinitely with a session
status of 'awaiting resource availability'.
Is there any way to suspend backups of a host temporarily without having to
remove it from all the schedules it's in? Seems there should be but I've
been unable to find this in the docs.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks,
-pc

You can just comment it out of the dataset using a #
Then when you're ready to put it back, just uncomment it again.
Thanks

Restore RMAN Backup

Dear All,
I am practicing Oracle Restore scenarios on my Oracle 9i database. Once I complete my tests in Oracle 9i I will move up to 10g and then finally to 11g.
Following is my recovery scenario:
1) I did NOT configure Recovery Catalog
2) I would like to restore my databse from a 15 days old backup
3) control_file_record_keep_time is set to 7 days.
4) Backups are on tape.
Can you guys please shed some light on how to I proceed?
- P

In oracle 9i , check , which situation you can perform complete recovery and in which situations you have to select incomplete recovery.
