WHAT BACKUP STARTEGY DO I USE PS ADVICE

I run my production database on AIX OS, we currently backup the Oracle 11g database once a month using Filesystem on AIX to tape using TIVOLI, i want to change the backup strategy to use RMAN to back up to tapes,
House please what do you recommend, do i still continue with the FILE system backup or use RMAN to back up to tapes, or which do you recommend as the best backup method.

RMAN Backup to Disk is easy to implement and, provided that the latest backups are still present on disk, is, in many cases, quick to restore from.
However, you must also copy your disk backups to tape -- RMAN provides a "BACKUP BACKUPSET" command to do so. Alternatively, use non-RMAN methods to copy backups from disk to tape.
Since 10g, using the FlashRecoveryArea (or FastRecoveryArea in 11g) has been a preferred method to configure disk backups.
However, if the database is so large that you cannot provide adequate disk space (e.g. as the database grows), you may consider backups direct to tape.
Handling restore and recovery becomes slightly more complicated. Since you already have Tivoli implemented, I guess that you (or someone in SysAdmin / NetworkAdmin) are/is familiar with Tivoli.
See this chapter from the 11g documentation : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmbckba.htm

  • What commands used for taking backup of oracle database using BR*Tools

    Can somebody please help me urgently to know what are the commands used for taking backup of oracle database using BR TOOLS.Also specifythe commands in detail which can be used for taking backups of oracle database ,Online Redo log files in databse using BRBACK tool,Archiving of offline, redo log files using BRARCHIVE, and Restoring a Database using BRRESTORE tool Commands(Plese specify the commands with their Syntax used).Also specify the commands with their Syntax which are used for taking backup of oracle database(online,Offline redo log files) into Tapedrives using BRTOOLS commands.
    Thanking You for helping (in advance).

    Dear Ashish,
    BRBACKUP / BRARCHIVE calls the operating system command to copy the files.
    Simple approach to get the commands is as follows.
    1. Set the BR_TRACE (as given in the SAP note 29321) and run the command for which you need to know the OS / SQL commands.
    2. This will generate the log file with the trace information. This trace has the information of the commands used by the job you have run.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Madhukar

  • HT201250 I use Time Machine to back up my entire computer with my external hard drive. I am getting a brand new iMac this month and was wondering what is the process of using this back up to restore my new computer exactly how my old computer was?

    I use Time Machine to back up my entire computer with my external hard drive. I am getting a brand new iMac this month and was wondering what is the process of using this back up to restore my new computer exactly how my old computer was? I want to make sure I will still have various important files on my new computer, like my songs in iTunes, my photos in iPhoto, etc, etc. Thanks so much in advance!

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    When you turn on the new iMac for the first time, Setup Assistant will ask you to restore a backup, so connect the external disk and follow steps to restore all your files to your new iMac. Your new Mac will have the same settings and programs as your old computer.
    In other cases, I would recommend to restore the whole backup without using Migration Assistant or Setup Assistant, but a Late 2012 iMac uses a special OS X build, so the OS X version that you're using on your old Mac won't work on the new one.

  • What Systems are the Pros Using for Premier, After Effects, and SpeedGrade?

    I bought the full Creative Cloud in hopes of making a career for myself in audio/visual editing. The problem is, my system doesn't seem to be able to handle the software, particularly when changing back and forth between the three programs mentioned above. Beyond that, my first project failed to export properly. Moreover, all throughout its development the system lagged badly. And this is after having followed all the preferences recommendations available in the Adobe's tutorials and elsewhere on the Web.
    Here's my system:
    SYX-P67A-C43: Intel Core i7 2600 (an 8-core unit) at 3.4GHz, with 8 Gigs of RAM (soon to be 16) with a GTX 550 NVidia Card, 1Gig of RAM.
    As you can see, this is far in excess of what Adobe claims to be the minimum system requirements. It's obviously NOT.
    What systems are the Pros using (like the guys in the tutorials) for Premier, After Effects, and SpeedGrade? Give me the exact machines with all the specs so I can price one up.

    ...although a little " old" now.....the fundamentals of your machine are still OK to get started IF you : 1. INCREASE your system memory to the full 32 GB....should make a BIG difference in performance.....8 GB is NOT enough, it will HINDER performance. 2. OVERCLOCK your CPU !!!.....many owners of your CPU have been safely running at 4.5 Ghz or HIGHER...some at 4.8 Ghz !!! This OC will make a DRAMATIC improvement  as  CPU speed is a huge factor in performance. 3. Improve your video card to a new NVidia 970 with 4 GB of video memory. 4. Check and MAKE SURE the power supply in your machine is ADEQUATE to handle everything, esp. if you overclock the CPU....generally 850 to 1,000 watts of a quality make is good. 5. Use a fast storage system...that means a SATA III SSD as your "C" drive, ( boot drive), being a Crucial M550 series,( or, M600 series), OR, a Samsung 850 Pro series SSD, ( more expensive). Other SSDs are NOT recommended, only these two makes are recommended for technical reasons. On this "C" drive, you should have Operating system, Programs, and Windows page file ONLY !! Your "D" drive can be ANOTHER single SSD to be used as a "cache drive" for all the previews, media cache, and cache files that Premier Pro creates PLUS, it can ALSO serve as the "Global Performance cache" used in After Effects. All your media and project files can go on your "E" drive. HERE you would have LIMITED OPTIONS because your motherboard only has TWO SATA III ports, ( which would already be used b the "C" and "D" SSDs). You NOW have only 4 SATA II ports left ......you COULD RAID 0 four 1 TB HDDs off these ports and have a 4TB backup drive connected to one of your TWO USB 3 external ports.....any DVD or Blue-ray can ALSO go on an external port.
    However, if you are into spending REAL MONEY !!!.....Go Haswell E and X99 all the way !!...THAT will give you great performance !!

  • What are pros/cons of using xmarks vs. firefox sync?

    Used Firefox for a long while. Bookmarks morphed to Xmarks, which in turn has been acquired twice. I continue to use the newer Xmarks. In process of setting up a new computer, found that Firefox has it's own bookmarks sync.
    Like to keep things as simple as possible. Does Firefox sync do all that Xmarks does? What are pros/cons of using xmarks vs. firefox sync?

    I am not in a business environment, just my home. So, I don't know your specific requirements. I operate a dual G5 xserve, a dual quad-core mac pro, 6+ Apple MacOSX computers of varying types and several other linux servers plus a couple of Windows machines. If it were me, I would get two mac pro's running MacOSX Server and use one for backup of the other. The xserve RAID is too expensive from my point of view. I copy data from the xserve to several MacOSX computers with firewire drives for my backup and I have every computer on a ups. (I am assuming that they will not all fail at once!
    I run Tiger servers and would suggest that you significantly test Leopard before committing to it.
    Hope that helps.

  • What File Extension Should I Use

    I'm new to websites.  I have been adding documents to our organizations website (thesoba.com).  Usually I will use pdf documents, but one of the documents (points) is taking a long time to load. That document keeps getting bigger and bigger each month.  I think that it's loading about 18 pages.   I know I have a lot of files on the website that I don't use and need to clean those up.  We have sponsor logo's and past history that we want to keep and possibly use in future years.  I need to those to a backup or another folder.  What is the best way to know what files are currently in use on the website.
    Thanks

    First off ignore that other guy.  Looks to be a new spam bot.  They appear every so often on forums.
    More than likely if they are just from a scanner they are not optimized.  I'm not sure if PDF is right or wrong.  Best way to tell is to look at the type of data you are trying to store.  If you show me one of the PDFs I would be willing to look at it for you and see whether it is something with optimization or if there is a better way to store the data.  If you are worried about publicly posting one of the documents, we could work through email (I would provide address through that).

    Hi,
    There are various differences between the two.
    1. SQL Server is only Windows, but Oracle runs on almost all Platforms.
    2. You can have multiple databases in SQL Server, but Oracle provides you only one database per instance.Given that the very term 'database' has s different meaning in the two products, this "difference" is absolutely meaningless.
    3. SQL Server provides T-SQL for writing programs, whereas Oracle provides PL/SQLWhich means what? Both products have a procedural programming language. They named them differently, and the languages are not interchangeable. Means nothing in comparing the features/strengths/weaknesses/suitability to purpose.
    4. Backup types in both are the same. (Except Oracle provides an additional backup called Logical Backup.)You make that sound like "Logical Backup" is something more than it is. It is nothing more than an export of the data and metadata. Many experts don't even consider it a backup. I'm sure SQL Server provides the same functionality though they probably call it by some other name.
    5. Both provide High Availability.Well, I guess they both have a suite of features they refer to as "High Availability". But what does that really mean? The devil is in the details. Remember, the two products don't even agree on what constitutes a "database".
    6. Both come in various distributions.???
    >
    If you are going for an Implementation, you can try SQL Server Express Edition and Oracle XE which are free to use.
    Then you can choose whichever is comfortable for your needs.
    Thanks.

  • What is the advantage of using Yosemite on my iMac over 10.9.5

    What is the advantage of using Yosemite over Lion on my iMac?  Is it any faster, slower or what?

    Before upgrading to a new operating system, here are a couple considerations:
    1.  If you are having problems with your current system, full version upgrades
         will make them worse.  Fix all issues before making the upgrade.
    2.  Make sure that any third party hardware is compatible with the new operating
         system, i.e. drivers available to support the OS.
    3.  The hidden cost item of needing to upgrade apps to work on the new OS.
         If your any of your favorite or mission critical applications are not compatible,
         expect the possibility of needing to purchase upgrades of those apps so that
         they will work on the new OS.
    4.  If you rely on your computer for your livelihood,  be absolutely sure that you
         have a backup strategy and plan to quickly recover should there be any issues.
         There has been many a complaint on this forum that new OS upgrades have
         have ruined their business and had no recovery strategy in place.  Besides,
         anyone relying on a computer for their livelihood is REQUIRED to have such
         a strategy in place regardless of OS upgrades as anything can happen at
         any time.
    5.  If everything is working fine and dandy for you currently, you need to ask if
         any of the new features of an OS of any use to you.  If not, then perhaps
         a "don't fix it if it ain't broke" philosophy is what you should follow.
