Which sequence in backup file

Hi,
in 10G R2, is there any way to know which sequence is backed up in a RMAN backup file of archived log ?
Explanation : I have a RMAN backup file. It is the backup of an archived log. How can I know which was the sequence of that archived log ?
I have this problem because after backing up that archived log we have deleted it (automatically by RMAN).
Thank you.

Hi there,
check it by
cataloging the backuppiece
catalog backuppiece '/path/to/backuppiece';
and listing the contents
list backup;
or
list backup of archivelog all;

  • Date part in file name of backup file

    Hi,
    i want the datepart to be included in the file name of dump file which is a backup file of a schema. what i need is i want to know the approriate dos command which can be used in export utility , such that the file name should contain date part
    when i tried to do this by running the script
    EXP system/[email protected] file="c:\toniknvtest_%date%.dmp" owner=toniknvtest
    the dump is created with filename toniknvtest_wed where as i want "toniknvtest_wed_8_2_2006."

  • Using Aurora - bookmarks backup files (json) include the word 'undefined' ??

    At some point the automatic backup files began to include the word 'undefined' in the filename -- anybody know why??
    Example:
    bookmarks-2013-09-03_undefined.json
    Manually-created backups are named in the normal format, e.g. "bookmarks-2013-09-03.json"
    Thanks/jim

    Not sure what that _undefined is exactly, but the Aurora bookmark backup files are named different than Beta and current release versions are named. As near as I can tell the change came near or with the 08-22 Aurora update; one of my Aurora Profiles has '''_1411''' and the other has '''_7''' in the file name since 08-22 where yours says '''''_undefined'''''. My guess is that change is some sort of identifier for the Profile which generated the backup file.

    I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
    You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots.  Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
    See Pondini's page for more explanation:   What are Local Snapshots?   http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
    You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.  
    The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library.  Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.

    My iMac just crashed, and I had some documents open in Pages that were unsaved. Is there a temporary file or backup file that I can access as on a PC? (I have just looked in Timemachine which I had operating, but it did not seem to have any temp files in it at all - not sure what it would be useful for then).
    Any suggestions?

    Question asked and answered several times.
    If you didn't save, nothing is recoverable.
    iWork apps don't create temp files so, as far as you on't save something, Time Machine can't archive it.

  • Can I choose which backup file to restore?

    Just lost my data off my 3GS, which would hang during the backup, sync, upgrade process every time I tried to go from OS 3 to 4 in the past 6 mos or so.
    Went to Apple store, decided to just trash everything, restart on OS 4 and just use most recent successful backup to restore.  Ended up upgrading to an iPhone 4 instead...
    Came home and looked up my .mdbackup files and there are three of the them.  May, October and November of 2010.  I plugged in my new phone, hoping to access the most recent backup and it shows only the May one.
    Is there any way to access and restore to what appears to be the most recent November backup file?
    Thanks.

    Thanks Barney - is it really that simple? I didn't think to do that. Will try that this evening. Appreciated.

  • Which is the actual file in vista documnets that we are seeing in palm desk ver 6.2.2 not the backups the real time file ?

    If the  Datebook.mdb.bak is a backup file couldn’t we rename it and since it has 1336   kb instead 
    of  approx 3000 like the others maybe it would be the correct info from before my crash 3 days ago
    without all the dupes .If that is correct can I copy it to palm desktop backup data and import it into
    calendar via import or change the extension to what is the correct extension for the caledar to use it
    as its active file )if you know for certain)   
    Most imortant questionof all is , I am strictly  guessing but I think the file named plain “datebook “
    with no extensions is the
    active file being viewed in the desktop because it is the most recent (yesterday at 1126 PM) and the
    file type is Data Base File .db .Is it possible that , that is the way ver 6.2.2 by access files in
    conjunction with Vista.  
    most important is datebook plain the active file in Palm ver 6.2.2 where there is no dat and bak only  datebook plain and db bak  db bakbak db mdg bak etc 
    Which is the file that actually appears in the data on the desktop Does anyone know

    If you look at our orgnal thread I have answered how to recover data for your contacts. This process is the same for calendar as well. As to the file extensions
    Palm Desktop 6.2.2 uses
    .mdb(active file) .mdb.bak(hotsync backup)
    Palm Desktop 4.2 and lower uses
    .dat(active file) .bak(Hotsync backup)

    If you still have all devices, just delete all. They will re backup.

  • What is the name of the folders which are your backup of Itunes library? I am recovering from a virus, have no workable desktop in Win XP, but can search and find files and folders. I would like to move these backup files to a new computer

    what is the name of the folders which are the backup of Itunes library? I am recovering from a virus, have no workable desktop in Win XP, but can search and find files and folders. I would like to move these backup files to a new computer, authorize it and sync with Iphone 3Gs and Ipod 5th gen.
    I

    I second the whole iTunes folder approach.
    If for some reason you have split the media folder from the library files then the media folder needs to restored to the same path it used to have while the library files can be copied into the music folder of your new profile.
    If in dobut, backup up the entire Documents and Settings folder before wiping the infected drive, but be selective about what you restore as many viruses drop active components capable of reinfecting the compuer in the temp folders and internet caches. It is much easier to backup more than you need than to discover after the fact that you no longer have access to some vital project you'd been storing in a folder on the desktop.

  • Is there a way to see the size of my ICloud backup files, so I can determine which one I want to use?

    Is there a way to see the size of my ICloud backup files, so I can determine which one I want to use?

    Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage.  Your backups are listed at the top, along with their sizes.  Note: this will only list your most current backup.  You may have your previous two backups available too but you cannot access any size information about them.

  • Where is the iPhone backup file stored which is produced during synching?

    Background: I had a HD crash and replacement: this created problems with the iPhone apps in iTunes (i.e. they "disappeared" from the Applications tab in iTunes.
    Question: why can't I restore the iPhone to the last backup that is automatically made when you sync? Does anyone know where that backup file is located and how to invoke it?
    Thanks and cheers,
    Veit
    Message was edited by: vburger

    Allan, I am puzzled and hope that you can help and clarify:
    I did try the "Restore the iPhone to its Factory Settings" approach and did transfer the iTunes folder (from before the crash) through Time Machine to the new HD. When I connect the iPhone to the computer and start iTunes there, I am informed that an iphone has previously synced with this computer and am asked whether I want to set up a new iPhone or "Restore from the backup of iPhone". BUT, the Last Synched info states that the last sync was TODAY, and NOT as of before the crash (when the Apps and their Settings were OK, i.e. to what I would like to restore). Frustration galore.
    This begs the question: 1.) where on the computer is the last backup stored, and can that be replaced by using an earlier version found on the Time Machine? But then I think I understand you saying that the backup process of the iPhone does NOT contain the Settings and Data related with each third party application, only the app itself; or did I misunderstand you.
    Hence question 2.) Where are the data and settings of the apps stored: in the Backup that's created when syncing (and apparently only a single, i.e. the last backup is kept, and that in my case is useless), or in the Mobile Applications folder under iTunes, which can be restored.
    And finally 3.) you state: cancel the backup when you connect the iphone to the computer running iTunes. When I click on the x next to where it says that the iPhone is being backed up, it cancels the whole sync process, not only the backup process.
    Sorry to bother you so much, but I'd really hate to loose all the data and settings of the ninety or so Apps which I am using. Again, many thanks in advance for any clarifications.
    Cheers,
    Veit

  • Backup will not recognize/detect the DVD onto which I stored my files.

    The system: TouchSmart tx2-1275dx system running Windows Vista Home Premium (64-bit).  Unit is two years old.
    The problem: I am doing a complete restore after complete HDD failure.  I have used the HP recovery disks, purchased online for $16.50 , to reinstall the operating system; it is now back to its as-purchased state and functioning okay.  When I open up the Backup/Restore application and attempt to restore from the backup files on my DVD drive, the system does not recognize those files.  I have tried making a small backup of the restored system thinking that would enable the backup process.  The system will recognize the small backup but not pre-failure backup.  Thinking that the problem was the disks, I tried them on my desktop machine.  Though it runs XP Home, it quickly recognized the backup-disks and successfully restored the files in a temporary profile without issue.  
    The question: What can I do to restore the backup files (*.vhd) I made prior to this failure.  I did monthly backups specifically to avoid this kind of data loss.  There has to be some way of getting the system to recognize them.
    General remarks: The hardware portion of this restoration was easy.  The software reinstallation/restoration has, to date, taken a suprisingly large amount of time and money; yuck.  

    If you are using the built in Vista backup, here is what I think has happened.
    Vista backup uses an image based backup, it stores an image of the hard drive and the files you selected for backup, it also stores a disk signature in the image, it contains partition data and other parameters, since you replaced the disk and most likely is not the same size, Vista backup will not recognize that backup as legitimate, signature mismatch of sorts.
    What you can do:
    1. If you have acess to a W7 PC you can use disk management in W7 to mount the vhd image and the copy all your data out of the image to flat files.
    2. You can do this in Vista but takes some software to be installed
    http://www.pronetworks.org/forums/how-to-mount-completepc-backup-vhd-file-t84349.html
    Conclusion, you most likely can get your data but you will have to decide where it goes.
    I don't guarantee this is the issue, but is most likely.
    One other thing you can try is to copy the contents of the DVD to your hard drive, then point to the directory.
    Vista and W7 backup is not a full featured backup solution and has its limitations, I sugget this software for backups and disk images, it also has a rescue boot disc you can make.

  • Which sequence pre sets to use if importing Apple Pro Res files

    Hello,
    I just shot a music video with the BMCC using apple ProRes format and want to import them into Adobe Premiere Pro CS 5.5.
    I am not sure which sequence pre sets to choose from when I am at the New Sequence box at the begining.
    Anyone know's which pre sets to choose from?
    Thank you.

    Hi domingolamarre,
    Welcome to the forum!
    Here is what I would do:
    Click "Cancel" and do not choose a Sequence Preset just yet.
    Premiere Pro opens.
    Import clips.
    Drag one of the clips to the New Item button at the bottom of the Project panel.
    A new sequence matching the settings of the clip is created.
    Continue editing in that sequence.
    Hope that helps.
    Thanks,

  • RMAN Backup Issue when Full backup file was missing

    Hi,
    On : 11.2.0.2 version, Recovery Manager
    RMAN Backup issue
    Last week we had the NFS Issue where we backup the files onto NFS.
    The problem occurred in the below sequence
    Saturday the backup was successful
    Saturday before deleting the backup files they are copied to tape
    Deleting the backup files via OS command
    Sunday Full backup started but due the NFS issue backup failed(Killed the instance and restarted)
    Did the RMAN Incremental backup which worked on Monday
    On Tuesday RMAN started complaining and started doing the Full backup.
    no parent backup or copy of datafile 1 found
    no parent backup or copy of datafile 3 found
    no parent backup or copy of datafile 24 foundSony any idea why the Incremental backup worked on Monday but not on Tuesday
    Regards
    NM

    Ok here is why I would like exact filenames..
    1) to speed the time of recovery. I am much more familiar with traditional recovery methods than RMAN, and while I myself installed and suggested RMAN for backups, our other (11i) database does not use RMAN and so I am more familiar with traditional recovery. So to be able to recover quickly I want to have these files as close as possible to the original names so that I can use my standard script (from a trace file) to recreate the control fiile. If I can get RMAN to spit out the filies with original names but keep RMAN for making the backup, I may ditch the rman bacjup script in chron and write a traditional hot backup script which copies the files the old fashioned way.
    2) to reduce cloning time. The RMAN duplicate command is not as good as I thought. I was actually easier for me to restore RMAN backups first to a box that has all the same paths, and THEN shutdown (cold) these files and copy them cold to another server, and restore from there. Agaiin if I can get the original file names, I could choose to do recovery either way (RMAN or traditional) in a real emergency instead of being forced to use rman.
    3) to be able to switch to a backup file in the FRA without having to rename it. Seems logical if it is already named correctly.
    thanks ! Marvi
