RMAN backup to 3 different locations

Hi,
I'm trying to backup my database to 3 different locations. If one location is unavailiable backup fails. Is there a possibility to make backup to other 2 locations when one is unavailiable? For example second location from following code is unavailiable. Here is my code:
RUN
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1;
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK;
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/backup/location1/%d_DB_%u_%s_%p', '/backup/location2/%d_DB_%u_%s_%p', '/backup/location3/%d_DB_%u_%s_%p';
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 3;
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 3;
BACKUP DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG SKIP INACCESSIBLE;
}

Hello again;
I was able to find an example of your other question :
If you specify a nonexistent directory, RMAN displays output such as the following:
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============

SQLServer 2000 Backup on Multiple Disks

I have one of the database on SQL Server 2000. The database is close to 200 GB. Any single local disks I have are not free enough to accommodate the entire backup. Is there a T-SQL script that I can run to specify the multiple backup file location with size
so I can distribute my backup across multiple disks. Or Any other workaround someone wants to suugest? I tried the USB disks , however SQL Server wont use that to save the backup file.
Thanks

there is no way you can limit the size in the backup command but
As you said the database is 200 GB, check the free space left the drive.
Let's say f drive has 60, G Drive has 70 and H drive has 120 gb
create 8 files...
place 2 files f drive ,2 files on G and 4 files on H. Data will spread using proportional fill algorithm.
Once the backup is completed, you will find that each file is approximately 25 GB in size.
Test for small database using the above logic

Like to take rman backup files into some other machine

Dear all
I like to take Rman backup into some other machine rather than its default storage location $oracle_home/dbs in to some other machine..
While i ran database backup in rman it stores the file sets into default location $ORACLE_HOME/dbs ... I relocated in to some other drivers in same machine also.. I got work ... But due to space issue i would like to take backup into some other machine so its possible ? how to configure it...

Who takes RMAN backup?

Hi all,
I have an oracle 9.2.0.7 database instance on SLES9 sp3 64bit. And RMAN backup is taken every day by one who is I dont know although I changed sys and system passwords. It seems that the backup is taken on local machine, doesn't it? I looked at v$session_longops view then I saw backup is taken SYS user. Anyone doesn't have RECOVERY_CATALOG_OWNER role. I looked at crontab of oracle and root users, then I looked at dba_jobs. But I dont see anything about rman backup anywhere. I wonder who takes RMAN backup on my system?

Is it possible to restore TSM/ADSM RMAN backup pieces to disk manually?

Is it possible to restore TSM/ADSM RMAN backup pieces to disk manually, and re-catlog as disk backups?
Oracle 10.2.0.3
TSM client 5.5.1.1
SUN Solaris 10 64-bit
We are gearing up to switch from IBM's Tivoli (TSM/adsm) to EMC's Networker (Legatto), and the old TSM software drivers are going to be uninstalled.
In a worse case scenario, we would therefore not be able to easily restore using RMAN and TSM just after the switch, and before new backups are made on Networker.
To be comfortable with the backup methodology change, we need to explore restoring the RMAN backup pieces of a given tag using TSM commands (dsmc ?) to a filesystem, re-catalog the backup pieces now on disk, and then perform test restore/recoveries using RMAN with disk channels.
Does anyone know of the TSM command (dsmc ?) to perform the restores of RMAN backup pieces?
Thanks!

This is a set of guesses and thoughts.
1: When you say you are removing the Tivoli software drive, is this just the driver from the oracle home, or is it more substantive. In fact could you have a different oracle home to access tivoli, possible with a rman catalog copy.
2: I dont believe the backup tag is part of the filename, however is it possilbe to query the rman catalog to get the filenames mapped to a tag?
3: Providing you know the filenames you wish to restore then it is possible to browse the tivoli catalog. Its ages since I've done this but doesn't samc have at interactive mode
Apologies if these suggestions are rubbish and hopefully someone gives a better answer.

Is it possible to take RMAN Backup

RMAN backup into multiple locations

Hi All,
Our database size is 1.4 TB. I am planning to schedule RMAN full backu. But i do not have mount point of size 1.4 TB. We have mount point /rmanbkp1 of size 1200GB and /rmanbkp2 of size 200GB. How can i distribute RMAN backup to these two filesystems.
Can i take tablespace level backups..?
Please suggest.
Thanks
Sandeep Vadlamudi

Hello;
First of all 1200GB, might be enough since you probably are not using all the blocks in the 1.4 TB and will compress you will also lose less.
Can i take tablespace level backups..?
Yes but the value is limited. You cannot for example recover a dropped tablespace.
Test a backup first and get an idea of how much space you really need.
Also once you have a backup how do you free space for the next backup?
You could use the FORMAT command to backup the database to one location and the Archive to the other. 200 GB is not much space.

Can RMAN Backup to multiple destinations on disk?

Hello -
Does RMAN have the ability to backup to multiple destinations?
For example, local filesystem, as well as a remote location?
Thanks in advance!

Not on another machine but on tape yes.

How to take RMAN backup through a single (default) channel

Sir,
In an interview I was asked a question that how can I allocate a single channel to multiple databases to take simultaneous backup. I was unanswer.
Pl. tell me if it is possible what will be the query with an example.
Regards
Neeraj

No it's not at all possible to take backup of multiple database through the manually allocated channel.
Allocating the channel manually is only possible while running the commands in batch mode
eg. run {
allocate channel ch1 type disk format='/backup1/RMANBACKUP/PROD521_%s_%p';
allocate channel ch2 type disk format='/backup1/RMANBACKUP/PROD521_%s_%p';
backup database setsize=12582912;
release channel ch1;
release channel ch2;
And you can connect through single rman prompt to only one target database not more than that. So at any point of time you connect to only one database you can user channels to backup that database only.
connected to recovery catalog database
RMAN> CONN TARGET SYS/ORACLE@RMAN
RMAN> CONNECT TARGET SYS/ORACLE@RMAN
connected to target database: RMAN (DBID=1528877161)
RMAN> CONNECT TARGET SYS/ORACLE@CLS

Rman backup to a remote location

I want to take the rman backup of production database to a remote server.
Means, source and destination servers are located at two different location.
OS: RHEL 4
In metalink, i got the doc id: 292726.1
Could anyone please tell me the detailed steps of "Backup to Remote DISK" heading of meantioned doc or provide me some other useful links ?
Edited by: NKJ on Dec 3, 2008 10:07 AM

You can backup to a remote location assuming you have the remote location appropriately mapped.
However, you may want to check this 10gR2 "database backup" to nfs mounted dir results in ORA-27054 NFS error regarding NFS and RMAN.

Rman Backup of External Disk

Hi
We have an 3 Oracle 11.1 database on 3 different servers with Windows 2003.
We have a high speed USB External hard drive of Disk space about 2 TB .
I wanted to know is it a good idea to take a Rman backup every night on this external drive from all the three databases by sharing this drive .
Later this backs are manually copied to tapes.
Thanks

Hi,
You can take the backup but it will be very slow ( not like local harddisk)
You will see the significate wait event RMAN backup & I/O in AWR report.
You need crosscheck or validate the backup once its written to harddisk and again that may take more time
what i suggest is try it and if you are facing any problem , then don't continue.
Kind Regards,

Making rman-backup-to-shared-disk fix-up work how i want it to

Greetings Oracle Network!!
(Oracle 10g enterprise edition on windows server 2003 platform)
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_os_error_os5_access_denied.htm
is a link where a fix to locating rman backups is suggested. it asks me to change the oracleservicesid logon. my database is what runs a website. when i change the oracleservicesid logon the website no longer functions.this is undesirable.
how do i fix this??
Even on my test-server which houses databases, changing the oracleservicesid logon to administrator, disables all connections made to the database from the LAN using SQL developer. how to not let this happen??
Please help
Thanks in advance
regards 946207
Edited by: 946207 on Jul 14, 2012 3:01 AM

10g is desupported for a long time.
Your issue is you backup to a network drive.
The solution provided to you by Donald Burleson is correct.
Why the website no longer functions is unclear as you provide no error messages or whatsoever.
An easy solution would be of course to buy an extra disk to connect it directly to the server.
From your post it is unclear why you didn't consider implementing that.
Also your assertion about the test server is way too vague. You again didn't provide any error message.

RMAN backup to remote disk in Windows

Hi,
I'm running Oracle 9.2.0.1 with Windows Server 2003 in both Server A and Server B. My prime DB is stored in Server A meanwhile my RMAN Catalog is in Server B. I’m running RMAN to do backup of the DB in Server A which is running out of space. So, I have decided to store my backupsets to Server B since I do have few hundred Gs there. Overall, I will push the backup script from RMAN Catalog in Server B and will store the backupsets back to Server B.
My problem is whenever I run the script, no matter either from Server A or Server B, I’m getting the following error. Attached together is the RMAN configuration parameters.
Error:

Anyway, is this a correct way to do backup into remote disk? I’m quite new to Oracle and just attended RMAN course with OU. I have Google-ed this problem but none can assist me. Please do help me or share your knowledge to resolve this problem.
Thanks & regards,
Nesan

Hi Andre,
Yes you're correct, it's because of the Oracle service which run under Local System Account. I have went to it's properties and changed the logon details to my own Login ID which is Administrator for both Server A and B. Now my remote backup is working great...
But does this changes will affect other apps/jobs/results in Oracle?
Guys,
If you have any better idea to solve this issue please drop into this thread or let me know if you find anything wrong on my solution.
Thanks a lot for Andre.... You have solved my 2 weeks problem.

Can we take rman backup image copy to multiple location

Hi All,
We are planing to move database from old storage to new storage on the same server.
planing to use RMAN image copy to copy the db files from old storage to new storage and then switch database to copy.
Currently dbfiles are on /u01, /u02, /u03, /u04 and we are planing to move to new storage /u05, /u06/, /u07
Is there any way that i can copy all the dbfiles to /u05,/u06,/u07
Backup as copy database format '/u05
As i know i can move to single location. Is there any way copy to multiple location using image copy.
Please suggest.
Thanks

Hi
I will try the below command.
BACKUP AS COPY
DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT ('/u01/..','/u05/...','/u02/...,','/u06/..')
database;
I believe this will work.
Thanks
