Where does RMAN backup go?

Hello, this is probably a very stupid question :), but..
We are on Oracle 10.2.0.3 and we have RMAN catalog set up on a different from the target database server. When I configure channel device type in a specific format, where would the actual backup set go - on the server where RMAN is located or on the server where the target database is located?
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/oradata/backups/coldbackup/ora_df%t_s%s_s%p';
I have set this to the directory of the target database...
Also, if I didnt specify a channel, where would the backup be created by default?
ok, nevermind, it went to the target database server..

  • Where does iphone backup when hooked to mac

    When I plug my iphone into my Mac.  It automatically backups up when iTunes launches.  Where does it backup to and can I turn this off?

    Just to 'Help' and not to 'Bash', my personal experiences are that having backups enabled (both in iCloud and on my Mac) is a VERY secure and safe set of options, even if I have to select each option independently in order to benefit from both!
    Having had a Mac failure and a 'connected device' failure in succession, I've been able to recover both from backups (including a Time Capsule in the mix) without ANY data-loss, solely because of having adequate backups in the 'Apple' world linked to my AppleID.
    I have friends who think that Apple has some 'other' motive for backups: something to do with spying on individuals (or other mistaken reasoning).
    Someone said "Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean that they're not out to get you!", but who is SO important that Apple would waste their time using their SERVICES to HARM any individual by spying on them?  If an individual is worried about 'others' having access to Apple, then perhaps that individual needs to think more about their possibly 'questionable' activities which might make that individual a target for the 'others' about whom they are so concerned?
    To me, if a company offers a service and breaks its own rules surrounding that service then SUE THEM FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL!!  Otherwise, use the service, wisely, for your own benefit!

  • HT1430 where does the backup get saved on the windows computer?

    WHERE ARE BACKUPS LOCATED
    ITunes stores one active backup and each time a backup is created the old backup is overwritten.  Icloud saves the last three backups.  You cannot view the backups unless you have special software to read it.  If you want to know where the backups are located on your computer then read this article

  • Does RMAN backups are OS independent.

    Can I use RMAN backup of windows based oracle to construct solaris based oracle db.
    Thanks
    Naveen

    Can I use RMAN backup of windows based oracle to construct solaris based oracle db.As Justin has already said, by default NO. To use rman for closs platform migration you will have to check the ENDIAN format of the both the platforms since, the principal restriction on cross-platform transportable database is that the source and destination platform must share the same endian format.
    An example of Cross-Platform Migration Using Rman ( Windows 32-bit to Linux 32-bit ) is on metalink.You can check it out

  • Does rman backup an init.ora file?

    i read where there is a command to back up an spfile, but didn't see anything about how to backup an init.ora. is this not possible in rman -- do you have to back it up manually? or did i just miss something?
    thanks.

    As the others have indicated, there is NO specific RMAN command to back up the init file. However, as was mentioned, you can simply copy the file from the O/S or to ensure that the init file has the same parameter/values as the spfile, you can issue the following command while in RMAN:
    sql "create pfile=''d:\oracle_backup\initORCL9.ora'' from spfile";

  • Where does my backup files reside in windows

    I backed up my ipad (using iTunes) to my laptop (running Windows 7).  Where can I find the backup files?  Also, the ipad that I backed is no longer mine.  My wife has an iPad Air 2.  We want to get the content (especially the pics and videos) of the backup onto her iPad. Can we do this, even if the backup is from Tom's iPad, and my wifes ipad is Mary's iPad?

    You do not have the ability to pick and choose certain aspects of the backup file to restore to another device. A restore is either all or none. You can purchase 3rd party software to open a backup file and try to remove some parts of it. The backup files is a special SQLite file that needs special software to read. It is really intended just to use to restore an iOS device if necessary.  However, this support document will tell you where your backup file is located on the computer. Many of these are hidden files, so make sure you have the ability to view hidden files switched on. If you can't back up or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod using iTunes - Apple Support

    I have read itunes: about ios backup.  It states the the backup is in ~/library/application support/Mobilsync/backup.
    I can't find this folder.  The reason I need it is so I can make sure timemachine on my MacBook includes this folder or DataBase in it's backup.

  • Where does it backup to, during restore?

    iTunes asked if I'd like to update my Touch (firmware I assume). I said yes, and during the process, which took 1.5 hours, it said 'backing up'. Where exactly can I find this back up? My Touch was wiped clean and I've lost nearly 8Gb of music. It took a while, so presumably the music is on my PC somewhere?

    OK thanks.
    I just wish I knew what went wrong. It asked if I would like to update and I clicked yes. I did nothing else and it didn't give me any more options. I watched it and it was 'backing up', which took a long time, it looked like it was saving 6Gb ready to put back on, but it didn't.
    It's not the end of the world, but it's most annoying.

  • What's the Deal with the iPhone Backup? Where Does It Back Up to?

    When my iPhone does its backup thing (and gee I wish I could turn that off permanently but nothing seems to stick in the preferences... have to stop it manually in iTunes each time... anyway...), where does the backup reside? It takes a couple of hours to do a backup, so I'd think there was a lot of actual content being moved to my Mac. But there's 14GB of content on my iPhone and my hard drive isn't losing 14GB of storage space... not even 100MB from what I can tell!
    So what's really happening during a "backup"? If I wipe the content off my iPhone with a restore, where will the backup content come from?

    On a Mac, the iPhone's backup file is stored at Home > Library > Application Support > MobileSync > Backup.
    The iPhone's backup stores data such as most iPhone settings, SMS messages, email account settings, notes, recent calls, call favorites, 3rd party applications or some 3rd party applications and any data created/stored by a 3rd party application, and photos captured by your iPhone.
    The backup does not store iTunes content, contact information, bookmarks, or photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone. This data should be available on your computer.
    Basically the iPhone's backup stores all data not included with the sync process.
    When performing a Restore with iTunes, the options are to restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup, or as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.
    If you constantly cancel the backup process, this may cause the backup to become corrupt and if you never allow it to finish, you won't be able to restore what should be saved with the backup.
    How many 3rd party applications do you have installed and regularly use that create/store data?
    And do you have a number of photos that were captured by your iPhone available that have not been imported by your computer and then erased from your iPhone as with any other digital camera?
    If so and you regularly capture more photos, these are included with the backup.

  • RMAN backup with archivelog (pros/cons)

    When performing a "backup database with archivelogs" where does rman store the info contained in the archive logs. If I do a backup like this do I still need to keep the archive logs out on disk? Does this increase time to do backups? I have some production databases that are close to 500gb. Wondering what the pros/cons are doing a backup this way.
    Thanks All!

The info stored in the archive logs (what you asked about, but probably not what you meant) is stored in the archive logs. The backups of those logs are stored in a backup set. The information about the logs is stored in the control file.
    If I do a backup like this do I still need to keep the archive logs out on disk?
    You have backed them up, right? Archivelogs are not actively used by the running database, right? If you don't delete them after they are backed up, let me know who you buy your disk storage solutions from, as I'd like to buy stock in that company.
    Does this increase time to do backups? Anything you do "increases time to do" vs. not doing something. (The most efficient SELECT statement is the one not executed). The question is does this have a practical, measurable degradation of performance that is intolerable to my organization? The answer undoubtedly "no".
    I have some production databases that are close to 500gb. Wondering what the pros/cons are doing a backup this way.
    Pros are you can recover your database.
    Cons are, you can't recover your database.
    And it looks like we need to point out that the housekeeping of your archivelogs can and should be handled by rman, not outside of it. Look at "backup archivelog not backed up n times" and "delete archivelog backed up n times", and other variations of 'backup archivelog' and 'delete archivelog'.

  • RMAN backup consistency

    Hi
    Does RMAN backup ensure the consistency of the database sequences when doing a hot backup? My concern is that my database uses a lot of sequence as identifier and during hot backup, the sequence will not be in sync as people are still accessing to the database. Does RMAN ensure consistency during the backup? Thanks!

    You don't need to worry about sequences not being in sync with the backup. The backup will be consistent as at an SCN (as seen in the backup) and point in time so the backup will contain what the sequences look like as at that point in time. What occurs after then in the database would be contained in the archive logs for recovery.
    When you may get inconsistencies with sequences is when you have a CACHE set on the sequence. When a sequence is selected the sequence value is in the shared pool but say you have an outage causing the shared pool to be wiped (from memory) and therefore lose the held value. Therefore you may get values in a table where it appears a sequence was skipped.

  • Where does iPhone store backups in Mac and Windows?

    Sorry I could not find the answer elsewhere.
    Where does iPhone store backups on Windows and Mac?
    Can the location be changed?
    Thanks!

    Mac:
    Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows:
    C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    (Note you may need to turn on show hidden files and folders to see it on Windows)
    As far as I know, you can't change it.
    Good Luck!

  • Where Does Lightroom Store  Catalogs, Previews, and Backups?

    1.   By default, where does LR store:
    a. Catalogs (.lrcat)
    b. Previews (.lrdata)
    c. Backups of Catalogs and Previews
    2.  Can these locations be changed?
    2a. If so, how does one specify where LR will store each of the above?
    3. Is there a specific relationship of location the Catalog, the Preview, and the Backups, or any partial combination of those three,  must remain in?
    3a. If so, what is/are that/those relationships?

    a) By default in the Lightroom folder within My Pictures / Pictures
    b) Always in the same folder as the catalogue
    c) Wherever you tell it - which should be somewhere different. No backup of Previews.
    Re 2, just move the catalogue in Explorer / Finder, double click it. If you didn't move the Previews, LR starts a new one in the same folder as the catalogue, following (b) above.
    Re 3, answered above. Backups can / should be elsewhere and it's your choice where.
    Notice that in Catalog Settings there's a Show button that reveals where your catalogue is.

    Are you sure about that, because when I backed up my iPad Mini w/7.0.4 and the newest iTunes, it made a 10gb Backup, which is pretty huge considering I only have a "16" Gb Slate iPad (More Like 13.5 Gb).
    When I restored it after Jailbreaking, it moved ALL of the Apps I had bought back in - A neat trick if the Apps themselves are not part of the Backup package- Because the apps had NOT been backed up into iTunes on that PC.
    iOS 6 did NOT restore my Apps, even though it did restore my folders.
