Which all archive backedup during backup?

Hi,
i took full backup of DB by rman along with archivelog,
so hown can i check which all archive backedup during backup? i thought list backup will give but not sure and also could not check as dont have RMAN DB.
i dont have any RMAN DB now so plz reply with example if possible.

Virendar,
i already mention that i dont have access of databases now so can't try now.Why not? You obviously have a computer and access to the internet. Go to oracle.com and get a free download of the product and install it on your computer. I have 10.2.0.4 Enterprise Edition running on my little laptop right now, just for these kinds of things. Honestly, I can't understand anyone who calls themself an Oracle DBA not having a 'sandbox' database on their own laptop/desktop.

Itunes crashed during backup and I can't get help from apple support on the

website.
Stupid Itunes crashed on disk 41 of 46 when backing up.
There is no help available on the apple website and no way to request help on the apple website for any issue with Itunes.
How do I fix this problem?
How do I tell Itunes which disks it backup up so it won't try backing them up all over again. Did it destroy a list of what was backed up? What's going on with itunes anyways? Does it always crash when it backs up this many cds? I don't want to start all over again and ruin another 41 CDR disks trying to back it up. How do I get it to continue from where it crashed or do whatever has to be done to get it to resume where it crashed during backup?
Stupid program wouldn't let me do anything after it crashed. said it will take a minute or two (more like forever) to cancel backup. Don't even know why it was trying to cancel the backup. I didn't tell it to.

Apparently there are some bugs in the latest itunes. DO NOT USE ITUNES TO BACKUP YOUR LIBRARY! UNLESS IT COMPLETES THE BACKUP, ITUNES IS NOT SMART ENOUGH TO FIGURE OUT WHICH FILES WERE BACKED UP. TECH SUPPORT DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO MAKE ITUNES KNOW WHAT FILES WERE BACKED UP SO IT CAN CONTINUE FROM WHERE IT LEFT OFF. AFTER 41 CDS WORTH OF BACKUPS, ITUNES CRASHED AND IT TRIED TO CANCEL THE BACKUP BUT NEVER FINISHED DOING THAT.
SO AFTER 60 CDS WORTH AND ABOUT 6 HOURS OF WASTED TIME, THE ONLY WAY IS TO BACKUP THE ENTIRE LIBRARY ALL OVER AGAIN WHICH IS A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY, TIME, AND CDS WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL WORK ANY BETTER THE SECOND TIME AROUND.
EVEN TRYING TO RESTORE FROM CDS DOESN'T TELL ITUNES TO UPDATE ITS LIST OF BACKED UP FILES. I'M SURPRISED THAT SUCH A BIG BLUNDER WITH ITUNES HAS GONE UNNOTICED.
ITS A SERIOUS ENOUGH ISSUE THAT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT. I BACKED UP MY ITUNES TO HD AND THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS SO OBVIOUSLY ITS AN ITUNES ISSUE.
NEEDLESS TO SAY, ITS A VERY ANNOYING PROBLEM TO PUT SO MUCH TIME AND EFFORT INTO GETTING NOWHERE.

Disk errors during backup

Hi, I'm baaaaaaack!
I have a new (replacement) Netware 6.5 SP8 server running Groupwise,
with 4 RAID'ed 450GB 10K SAS drives giving me about 1.2TB of space. In
keeping things arranged close to the way they were before I arrived, for
now at least, I have a "DATA_POOL" which holds "SYS2" volume. During
nightly backups, since the new server went in about 12 days ago, I'm
getting backups failing, and eventually the SYS2 volume dismounted last
weekend during the full backup.
I tried doing a poolrebuild even though poolverify showed no errors, per
Symantec & Novell documentation, and that didn't suffice. Had to do the
"purge" rebuild, and then was able to re-mount the volume. I wasn't
sure if the error was somehow related to the server migration, so I
tried the same full backup again and got the same nasty results.
Rebuilt again, and made some changes to the OFMCDM.CFG file as
recommended in some Symantec documentation, and the backups have been
succeeding.
However, the logs show lots of entries like the following, still, always
during the backups:
3-08-2011 9:43:15 pm: COMN-3.26-178
Severity = 5 Locus = 3 Class = 0
NSS-2.70-5009: Pool AIRP_COMM/DATA_POOL_SP had an error
(20012(beastTree.c[510])) at block 129200397(file block
-129200397)(ZID 1).
3-08-2011 9:43:15 pm: COMN-3.26-180
Severity = 5 Locus = 3 Class = 0
NSS-2.70-5008: Volume AIRP_COMM/SYS2_SV had an error
(20012(beastTree.c[510])) at block 129200397(file block
-129200397)(ZID 1).
It's not clear to me if this means it *has* to be a disk drive error.
New disks would seem to increase the likelihood of physical disk
failure, but it only happens during the Backup Exec 9.2 backups of this
volume, and never on the SYS volume during those same backups.
The Groupwise total database is about 100GB, and the total volume space
is about 800GB, if that matters. (This server is built to GROW.)
Suggestions? Does this clearly point to a hardware (disk) error even
though it only happens during backups, and the symptoms changed when I
made the OFM configuration changes?
The changes I made to OFMCDM.CFG were:
InitialCacheSize = 0x0000000000400000 (was 200000)
CacheSizeExpandThreshold = 0x30 (was 0x1e)
The old server didn't have any problems backing up, and everything was
brought over intact/identical in configuration, even though the above
changes did seem to help somewhat. I'm posting here because this seems
more of a "storage" (disk) issue than really a backup issue, despite the
failures occurring during backups.
Any suggestions, or clarification about the above cause & possible fixes?
Thanks.

Thanks, but I don't know of any way to back up Groupwise without using
OFM; you just can't get the data if you do that because so many
important files are open. And I do agree that it's OFM if it is not a
hardware issue.
Your entries under "device" look like the defaults, which I started
with, and yet there are a bunch of references on the Symantec (Backup
Exec) site which suggest changing those. But I will want to compare
your entries with mine, higher in the file, to see if there is any
particular setting that is non-default and might address the issue.
I do have slots for a spare drive on this new server. Currently, the
cache is directed to the very same volume that is having issues,
although it worked fine that way in the past on the old server. But I
can easily get another drive if that will resolve this.
Thanks.

Which one is the Best Backup and Recovery Method in your point of view?

Friends,
Currently we are taking hot backup with archive mode.
we have backup script to copy the datafile and we will copy the archive files in a separate folder.
alter tablespace system begin backup;
host cp /u01/app/oracle/oradata/livedb/system.dbf /u02/online_backup
alter tablespace system end backup;
like the above script we will copy all the other data files.
then in the test environment. we will copy the datafile and archive file.
we will be recovering by using the below statement.
sql>recover database until cancel using backup controlfile.
currently no problem in backup and recovery.
What i want is......
is there any other sophisticated and safe way to take a backup and restore it to another server?
if yes, can anybody point out the steps or link.
I have heard about......
DataGuard
RMAN
EXP/IMP
but i never used the above.
Thanks
sathyguy

DataGuard
RMAN
EXP/IMP ...
The only real backup/recovery method here is RMAN, Oracle's integrated backup/recovery tool, which I prefer. As an example for a fully functional RMAN command see 'backup database plus archivelog delete all input'. This statement provides a complete hot database backup including archivelogs and deletes at the successful end all archivelogs in all destinations . Compare this statement with all the steps necessary to do the same job manually. Don't worry you have many ways to finetune your backup.
For more informations there's a quick start guide:
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14193/toc.htm
Dataguard is a high availibility tool, which provides a kind of backup in terms of having a logical or physical standby database. When primary side fails you can switch to this standby database. Such a constellation does not mean, database backups are no longer necessary.
Export/Import is a logical backup, still often used to recover from human errors (you accidentally dropped a table for example). Don't use it as a replacement for physical backups, especially hot backups,in case of media failures you always will have loss of data, because changes made afterwards the export are not captured.
Once again I recommend you seriously should consider RMAN.

BR278E error during backup

HI all,
Our database backup was running ok for the passed 3 months after the SAP system was installed. Recently, I keep getting BR278E error during backup. Below are the error message:

The SAP system is on Solaris/Oracle running ECC6.0. LTO-4 tape drive is used for the backup. Tape_size in initSID.sap is set to 720000M. Current database size is 128Gb.
What is the reason for the backup failure?

FPC wont let me render! I'm a video editor and have over 70 gb worth of videos on the imac which all need to be kept for various clients/backup/original versons but now beloved imac is full, only had it for 5 months! Will Ineed external hard drive every 5 months?? This can't be I've already resorted to getting rid of unsed applications such as garage band, iTunes,address book ect. I've trashed everything I could. what next ???
My video files are massive, converting them to a different format doesn't reduce the size of them it just turns them into mp4 or apple pro res ect
This iMac is for work only so there's no pictures, no music, no conacts, no messenger, no games, nonothing but videos!!

Have a look at this: http://grandperspectiv.sourceforge.net/
It will show you exactly what is taking up all of your space.
You also may want to consider some kind of external storage just for your video projects.

My 4th gen ipod won't backup after it froze during a software update to 4.3.5. I had to cancel the backup at the start of the update and now it won't let me backup to my computer, freezes during backup or says my backup is corrupted.

I pressed 'X' during a backup after it froze during an update to software 4.3.5 and now it won't let me backup on my computer. Does anyone have any ideas? It either freezes during backup or says my 'backup is corrupted' or 'I cannot backup on my computer'. I have had to abort quite a few attempted backups since the initial problem, which I think has made it worse. I have already tried restoring my ipod, deleting the aborted backup from my preferences/devices in itunes and deleting it from my user/appdata/etc on my PC hard drive. Any ideas what to try next?

After hours of frustration I eventually decided to restore. I lost my apps, but i didn't have many and was able to reinstall them for free. During the restore it updated my ipod to the latest software 4.3.5, which i think may have caused the initial problem, but the backup issue remains. Sometimes it stops me from syncing and other times it allows me to skip the backup, but still says that i can't backup on my computer. I'm worried that it has done something to my computer as it took me six hours to do a Bullguard scan, which only normally takes about an hour. The scan didn't come up with any viruses, but it stalled at system32 for ages. The only other thing that i can think of is that a demo CD I uploaded may have caused a problem. iTunes couldn't find a track listing for it but gave me a few different options. i thought I had to choose one to continue, so did that then changed the track details to the correct tracks. I'm now worried that may have introduced an issue or caused a glitch in iTunes. How paranoid am I sounding?

Did you already try signing a jarfile? If no ->>
You can call a class inside a jar-file within the applet.
if this class should be able to acces files the jarfile
first has to be signed. to do this, you must generate a key.
the complete work:
1. write your applet
2. write a html-page with following code:
<APPLET code="guestbook.class" archive="guestbook.jar" width=600 height=400></APPLET>
3. make a zip-file with the guestbook.class, guestbook.form, guestbook$1.class, guestbook$... and rename it to guestbook.jar
4. in the console type:
keytool -genkey -alias YOURNAME
5. sign the key to your jarfile with:
jarsigner guestbook.jar YOURNAME
6. try the applet. a warning should appear which you have to answer
with YES then it should work
my trouble is that i cant acces files anyway because right now i don�t
alreadv have the clue to get the right (absolute?) path for the file. means i get an ioexception because the applet cant find the file :-((
does anyone know how to solve this problem then? my code is:

DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE TO DUP ;
}

I think there is no workaround and this is expected behavior - atleast till 10.2. If you refer oracle documentation, it says that it requires target database in either MOUNT or OPEN stage to duplicate database using RMAN. So RMAN will get current physical structure information about target database from its control file and when any file is not there in the backup, it will give error. Only way to resolve this is to take backup of these datafiles through RMAN either as backupset or copy. ( I think oracle can take hint from here and make RMAN database duplication possible for which backup is not available - its a small change in code - if backup not found, then start taking backup. Already in 11g, during RMAN duplication, RMAN can use backup from other server)

How to reverse the Batch number which was enter wrongly during GRN posting

Hi Folk,
How to reverse the Batch number which was enter wrongly during GRN posting .
Please revert.
Thank you.

You can either do a transfer posting and move quantity from this batch to another batch e.g. in MB1B with movement 311, or you cancel the entire material document using MBST transaction and redo your receipt correctly.
Then you can flag the wrong batch for deletion in MSC2N.
The batch itself gets deleted physically with the archiving transaction SARA object MM_SPSTOCK

Time Capsule internet stall during backups

Just started to happen recently but it looks like everytime the backup starts, my internet connection begins to stall. As soon as the backup is complete, my internet is working again. It's not like the backups are large sizes, not sure what's going on. The TC had been working great for the past 6 months and this just started to happen the last couple weeks. Other than no internet during backups, it works well. Any ideas?

I am running it via wireless. Typically the RSSI is around 70, this last time when the internet stalled during backup the RSSI was down in the 54 range. I know there have been backups hourly or so but when my internet stalled just a few minutes ago, it was the first time since I posted the first msg in this thread. I still haven't figured out anything common for when it does stall during backups.
You'll notice that the value for RSSI is a negative number, so the larger the absolute value, the worse the connection. I also see an RSSI value of -70. My wireless network performance is so poor at that value that I use an Ethernet connection instead.
Even if the noise on your link is as low as -90, that only gives you a signal-to-noise ratio of 20 (-70 minus -90), which according to the second message of this thread
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10329543
qualifies as a "low signal". If the noise on your link is higher (a smaller absolute value), then the SNR value will be worse and your throughput will suffer accordingly.

L8: Backup hang half way during backup process

Dear all,
We tried to backup 180GB of data to a Sun L8 tape drive via StorEdge Backup 7.1 software.
Half way during the backup process, the backup hanged and i saw the following error message:
[ID 107833 kern.warning] WARNING: /pci@8,600000/pci@1/scsi@4/st@5,0 (st19):

Please let me know, why the backup hanged and what is the error message about?
Thanks in advance.

The restore process is just spinning it's wheels and the log says "erasing" drive name.
Is the drive name your internal?
UPDATE: When I stopped the restore function I checked the error log again and it said "could not un-mount disk for erasure" Not sure what that means. Anyone know how to fix that?
I'm pretty sure something is wrong with the hard drive installed on the iMac at this point. I tried to do a clean install of 10.5.0 from the Leopard retail DVD and that stalled early in the process as well.
Yes, it sure sounds like it. It now sounds like both the TM restore and Erase and Install are unable to erase your internal HD. It's not even getting to your TM backups, or installing OSX.
Let's double-check and try again. Boot from the Install disc again, and completely reformat the internal HD. Be sure to use the GUID Partition Map scheme if it's an Intel Mac, or the +Apple Partition Map+ scheme if it's a PPC. And use the +Mac OS Extended (Journaled)+ format.
It might be worth taking the time to then do a +Zero Out.+ Select Erase, then +Security Options,+ then +Zero Out Disk+ (the one-pass option is sufficient). That will, obviously, write zeros to the entire disk. If this fails, the disk is dying and likely the cause of the whole mess. If it passes, it isn't necessarily ok, but it's a pretty good sign, and you may be able to proceed with the restore.

I have 6 in my family of which all have iPhone 5,s

I have 6 in my family of which all have iPhone 5,s & can't keep up with buying new chargers every other week . We have spent so much on the phone,s is there any way you can assist me with this huge problem ?

Otherwise, I would just suggest just making sure everyone has 1 charger and have 3 extra lying around the house, and then if people lose their charger, they share with someone else (using it during the day) until they can buy their own new charger.

Which all archive backedup during backup?
