When taking a full data backup

We take a full data backup of our LiveCache instance daily. My question is when you take a full backup (and it is successful) are any of the logs that are generated prior to the full backup needed any longer. My guess is no. But I would like to make sure this is correct.
Thanks

John,
you are right. After taking a full data backup of the LiveCache instance, you don't need the logs generated before the backup. However, following the precautionary principle, it is a good idea to keep the last few data backups and log backups, just in case you need them.
Regards,
Ashwath

Small "freeze" and sound issue when taking a full screenshot

Hello,
This is a strange one, and I've not been using Macs properly for very long, so bear with me
It only happens when I use cmdshift3 to take a full screenshot, the other shortcuts for taking them are fine, I do get a similar issue when using Grab and it, too, only occurs on the full screen capture. What happens is, the sound clip of the camera noise will begin to play, stop, it goes a little distorted then the windows on screen will freeze up, the mouse will still move, and it stays like that for around 5 seconds until the file is saved to the desktop and all goes back to normal again. I'd like to reiterate that it only does this when i do a full screenshot, and the smaller one with the crosshairs and the individual windows is perfectly fine.
I tried searching on google, on the main support section and the forums and nothing has come up that's been helpful. I've had a look in the system logs, and at the time's I take the screenshot, the system log reports the following:
Sep 24 14:04:09 xxxxxxxx-computer kernel[0]: IOAudioStream[0x4db4a00]::clipIfNecessary() - Error: attempting to clip to a position more than one buffer ahead of last clip position (2,728)->(3,7bd).

Sep 24 14:04:33 xxxxxxxx-computer kernel[0]: IOAudioStream[0x4db4a00]::clipIfNecessary() - adjusting clipped position to (5,73a)
I know from that it's referring to my soundcard and there's a memory reference, but that's about as much as I can figure out.
It might not seem a big issue as the other methods are ok, but if it turns out to be something much deeper I'd like to try and fix it now before it becomes a problem.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Claire

Bingo! EXACT same problem here! It seems to me its a software bug.. ??

Lost device password BB9900 bold. Now what? I have full data backup on laptop.

Hi can someone advise what I should do after 10th wrong device password? what will happen ? I have data back-up on laptop. Can I reload all?? Thanks . Ashutosh

Ashutosh, I do not know if you may have tried this nor whether it will work but on my Bold 9900, within 'setup', there is a feature called 'Blackberry ID'. There is an option to 'change your password'. Maybe if you try this and answering your recovery question, you maybe able to get back up and running again. Bob

RMAN Full Hot Backup Daily

Hi,
I have Production Database going to live this week..
this is my RMAN Backup script for taking daily Full Hot Backup night 12pm...
I have enabled FLASH_RECOVERY_AREA
DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST=/backup/flash_recovery_area
log_archive_dest=/backup/archivelog
log_archive_format='arch_%d_%S_%T';
=========================================================
rman target=/
configure controlfile autobackup on;
run
allocate channel c1 device type disk;
crosscheck backup;
backup as compressed backupset database;
sql 'alter system switch logfile';
crosscheck backup;
release channel c1;
exit
===========================================================
Above script is scheduled usgin cron job...
=============================================================
Here I am not taking the archive logs backup...because..by default..archive logs are created in 2 places
(a) FLASH RECOVERY AREA
(b) /backup/archivelog
so archive logs are created by date wise in Flash Recovery Area....
I have flash recovery area structure like this for ever day
/backup/flash_recovery_area/PROD/archivelog/29_09_2007
/backup/flash_recovery_area/PROD/autobackup/29_09_2007
/backup/flash_recovery_area/PROD/archivelog/30_09_2007
/backup/flash_recovery_area/PROD/autobackup/30_09_2007
Above are 2 days backups of 29th and 30th....
I can simply send those 30_09_2007 and 29_09_2007 directories to TAPE Drive....
=======================================================================
When disaster recovery, i can restore those directories to flash_recovery_area and do the recovery using rman...
=============================================
Friends...am i goin in correct way..if anything wrong...please correct me..
my doubt is..I am not used any command of backuping up archivelogs in rman script.......becasue..archive logs are created in flash_recovery_area by date wise......
am i correct..

Hi,
Thanks for the reply,
My requirement is......Full Hot Backup daily at 2 AM......Daily i have to take this...so i scheduled this using cron job......I need to maintain 7 days backup in backup location.....
Here is my script
# Export Environment Variables
export ORACLE_HOME=/oradata/oracle
export ORACLE_SID=PROD
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
# RMAN Full Backup
rman target / catalog rman/rman << EOF
configure controlfile autobackup on;
configure retention policy to redundancy 7;
run
crosscheck backup;
backup as compressed backupset database;
sql 'alter system switch logfile';
backup as compressed backupset archivelog all;
backup as compressed backupset current controlfile;
crosscheck backup;
crosscheck archivelog all;
delete noprompt obsolete;
delete noprompt expired backup;
exit=============================================================
Can u please verify that, script is good or not

Time machine doesn't delete old backups when disk is full

TM disk is 750GB. It tells me there is not enough room for backup…then I look into TM and find there ARE NO BACKUPS anymore. (There were a few days ago.) All backups are gone, except for one two days ago, which was when I began getting the "no room" error.
I assume I've lost everything, as the TM disk shows only the backup from 2 days ago. True?
Do I just format and start again?
Is there a fix for this "no room" message? (It says oldest backups are deleted when disk becomes full. But it doesn't do it.)
Do people rely on this?

How much data is TM backing-up? (What's shown for +Estimated size of full backup+ under the exclusions box in TM Preferences > Options?)
Note that your Time Machine disk should, in most cases, be at least twice the size of the data it's backing-up. See #1 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
It appears that Time Machine needed to do a large backup, perhaps a full one, for some reason, and deleted as many old backups as it could (but it won't ever delete the last remaining one, as that would leave you with no backup at all), trying to make room.
If in doubt, Click here to download the +Time Machine Buddy+ widget. It shows the messages from your logs for one TM backup run at a time, in a small window. Navigate to the backup in question, then copy and post all the messages for that run here, along with the amount of data that TM is backing-up.

Thank you very much for your reply gdgmacguy :) I did all you suggested apart from restore as new device . Didn't know I could do that . After restore I did restore from back up only, as I didn't want to end up without contacts details on my phone. If I restore as new device how do I get my all contacts? Still will have to use back up? Sorry if it sounds like I don't know what i am doing, i just have no one to ask who would know. Thank you

Retaining date/time stamp when copying files from a backup network drive

How do I retain the date/time stamp when copying files from a backup such as a external drive or a network drive?

i don't trust MA at all. known to create a lot of problems.
instead, see the green box in this user tip.

Backing up to a thumb drive - time machine doesn't delete older backups when it's full. I will have to erase and re-do the drive. Why?

Backing up to a thumb drive - time machine doesn't delete older backups when it's full. I will have to erase and re-do the drive. Why?

You are both right.
Time Machine can backup FROM:
It cannot back up a USB thumb drive.
Time Machine can backup TO:
•A USB thumb drive (but most aren't large enough, and are very, very slow)

HT1766 I sync my ipad at least once a week, i lost some data yesterday but like I said, i synnced my ipad 4 days ago and i want to restore to that point. when i choose "Restore from backup" the only options i see on the grid list is today, wheres a week a

i want to restore from the auto updates that are made by itunes.

When you synced the iPad today, you overwrote the backup fromlast week. If you would have turned off auto sunc and simply restored from the backup without syncing, you would have bee fine.
In certain situations - such as when you only sync once a week, iTunes creates a new backup for that sync that overwrites the last backup. If it has been a week since you last synced, iTunes reads the latest data on the iPad since the last backup and then creates a new up to date backup.

Error while taking Full DB Backup

Hi,
We had Multiplexed the Archive Log File to default location(Flash Recovery Area) and log_archive_dest_1=/u02/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/archive
As too much of archive log's are generated we had removed the log_archive_dest_1.
We had scheduled full DB backup every sunday and incremental DB backup everyday(midnight) through OEM.
I am backing up all the archive log's and after each backup (incremental and full DB backup) we are deleting all Archive logs backed up.
The Full DB Backup failed as it is still trying to backup archive logs from log_archive_dest_1(/u02/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/archive)
Please find below the error log file generated after backup failed.

Hi,
The Archive log's has occupied full Hard Disk space so i changed the status of DB to NoArchive Log mode and deleted all the archive files available at "/u02/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/archive" using OS command.
Now I changed the DB to Archive Log Mode and now using RMAN to delete All Archive files which are backed up.
backup incremental level 0 cumulative device type disk tag '%TAG' database include current controlfile;
backup device type disk tag '%TAG' archivelog all not backed up delete all input;
Thanks

Recovery using Full BCV backup & archive logs

Hello DBA's ,
I have Last Sunday's Full BCV (Buisness Copy Volume) backup (i.e. ..... the tablespaces were taken into Backup mode then Sync the BCV, then split the BCV , take the backup of BCV and take the tabespaces in normal mode in short what we call as HOT BACKUP ........ ) & also I am taking only archive log & control file backup Daily.
Now I want to Run my database on Different Server using the above FULL BCV & daily backed up Archive logs & Control file.
Kindly update me- Can I go for following recovery steps for above scenario.
1) Install ORACLE software on new server.
2) Restore the last Sunday's FULL BCV (Hot backup)
3) Restore the archive log from last Sunday's Full BCV backup.
4) Restore the latest backed up control file.
5) Mount the database.
6) Recover the database using backed up control file & archive logs.
7) Open the database with RESETLOGS option.
Please Guide me whether I can Fully Recover/Start database on this new server using above steps. ---OR---- " Are there any more files except data files that need to be backed up daily after Full BCV ? " ---OR ---- More suggestions are Welcome.
I want to test this scenario bcz.
a) I can't afford daily BCV due to lack of storage with current retention given by buisness.
b) I can't afford long time taken by RMAN for backup & recovery, as it disturbs my other backup shedules, also RTO should be very low as per my buisness requirement.
c) Currently we are not thinking for any another Backup options.
OS platform -- SOLARIS 10
Database version -- ORACLE 9i/10g

Hello everybody ....
Actually I am doing the above scenario practically and I am facing the problem that when I am applying my archive logs using backup controlfile until cancel, the recovery completes upto the available Archive logs/sequence. But it throws the following error along with it ......

So, I opened my database using Last (Sunday's) full hot backup only and it opens successfully without applying any archives.
Now, my question is... why my database doesn't open with OPEN RESETLOGS option when I am recovering it using command " RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL CANCEL USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE; "
I want to recover my database upto Saturday then What should I do ?
Please help me out !

Full Server Backup for Domain Computer

Having Windows 2012 Domain Controllers. I have a requirement to provide a backup for one domain controller to be sent to a another data center, so that if all our main datacenters are destroyed for any reason, we can have a media with backup of our AD.
So i took a Full Server Backup for one of our domain controllers, put it on a tape, send it to the security team so that they can send it to the standby datacenter.
Security team asking me that on the standby datacenter, they want to simulate complete disaster ( that is all domain controllers are destroyed) and they want to give me a machine so that i can restore the full server backup of AD on it.
Is this supported ? To save the Full Server backup of a domain controller in a Tape so that it can be restored in standby datacenter in different computer when things get bad?
ammarhasayen

As Tero already mentioned, one you have your test environment up and running, you need to prepare your DRP (Disaster Recovery Plan).
See that:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc757662(v=ws.10).aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727048.aspx
Make sure that you are taking periodic system state backups of at least one DC/GC server.
For the standby datacenter, you can simply promote a new DC/DNS/GC server there and keep it active to be used in case of disasters as I previously mentioned. By configuring properly your AD sites and subnets, you can be sure that your Windows servers and
client computers do not use this DC for daily authentication.
