Why backup files are all 6..5 GB size?

hi
I'm taking backup using rman and backup of my database divides into 6.5GB pieces? Why it's so?

RMAN> show all;
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP OFF; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%F'; # default
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET; # default
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default <-- This is required parameter.
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE OFF; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM 'AES128'; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/data/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/snapcf_1SDOCDEV.f'; # default

  • Iphone4 backup restore problem because backup files are all just files

    Hi guys I have scoured the sea of articles and comments for this but couldn't make it work.
    My iphone 4 was backed up on the macbook - it first couldn't find the files so I had to find them and put the whole backup folder on the desktop so that when I try to restore the iphone via an old backup it could locate it.
    However, all the files in the very long named folders have no clickable files for itunes to begin the backup.
    If anyone could help that'd be great.
    Thanks
    Dan

    Anyone?

  • RMAN backup files are still exist since long time, how to delete?

    Dear sir;
    I'm using the below script to do daily backup, however there are many rman backup files are still exist and consumes HD size, how could I delete these files in daily bases? some files dated in FEB, MAR, APR,

    Hi;
    Our backup policy should have 7 days; however we have here some files from JAN, FEB,MAR, APR /2012 WHICH ARE BEYOND THE RETENTION DATE and these files should be deleted by executing " delete noprompt obsolete; ".
    All files are exist in /u15/rman/

  • Differential backup files are almost the same size as full backups.

    Hello All,
    I have done a little research on this topic and feel like we are not doing anything to cause this issue. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. 
    The details: Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP2) - 10.50.4297.0 (X64)   Nov 22 2013 17:24:14   Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation  Web Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7601: Service Pack 1) (Hypervisor).  The
    database I am working with it 23GB. The full backup files are 23GB, differentials are 16GB (and growing) and transaction logs bounce between 700KB to 20MB. The backup schedules with T-SQL follow:
    T-Log: daily every four hours
    BACKUP LOG [my_dabase] TO  DISK = N'F:\Backup\TLog\my_dabase_backup_2015_03_23_163444_2725556.trn' WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT,  NAME = N'my_dabase_backup_2015_03_23_163444_2725556', SKIP, REWIND, NOUNLOAD,  STATS = 10

    As you can probably tell we are not doing anything special in the backups, they are simply built out in MSSQL Management Studio. All databases are set to full recovery mode. We do not rebuild indexes but do reorganize indexes once weekly and also update
    statistics weekly.
    Reorganize Indexes T-SQL (there are 255 indexes on this database)
    USE [my_database]
    GO
    ALTER INDEX [IDX_index_name_0] ON [dbo].[table_name] REORGANIZE WITH ( LOB_COMPACTION = ON )
    GO
    Update Statistics T-SQL (there are 80 tables updated)
    use [my_database]
    GO
    UPDATE STATISTICS [dbo].[table_name]
    WITH FULLSCAN
    GO
    In a different post I saw a request to run the following query:
    use msdb
    go
    select top 10 bf.physical_device_name, bs.database_creation_date,bs.type
    from  dbo.backupset bs
    inner join dbo.backupmediafamily bf on bf.media_set_id=bs.media_set_id

    Is your field ready?

    INIT basically intializes the backup file, in other words, it will overwrite the contents of the existing backup file with the new backup information. 
    basically, what  you have now is you are appending all you backup files  (differentials) one after the other (like chain).
    you do not necessarily have to do it.  these differential backups can exist as different files.
    Infact, I would prefer them to separate, as it gives quick insight on the file, instead doing a  "restore filelist" command to read the contents of the backup file.
    The point Shanky, was mentioning is that : he wants to make sure that you are not getting confused between the actual differential backup file size to the physicial file size(since you are appending the backups) example : if you differential backup is 2
    gb, and over the next five you take a differential backup and append to a single file,like you are doing now,  the differential backup file size is 2gb but you physicial file size is 10Gb.  he is trying to make sure you are confused between these
    two.
    Anyways, did you get a chance to run the below query and also did you refer to the link I posted above. It talks a case when differential backups can be bigger than full backups and ' inex reorganize' or 'dbcc shrinks' can cause this. 
    --backup size in GB
    select database_name,backup_size/1024/1024/1024,Case WHEN type='D' then 'FULL'
    WHEN type='L' then 'Log'
    When type='I' then 'Differential' End as [BackupType],backup_start_date,backup_finish_date, datediff(minute,backup_start_date,backup_finish_date) as [BackupTime]
    from msdb.dbo.backupset where database_name='mydatabase' and type in ('D','I')
    order by backup_set_id desc
    Hope it Helps!!

  • How do I find where my larger files are all at Once

    Like all I am getting close to having a full HD. Is there a way to tell where all my large files are all at the same time without having to go to each folder, file, application
    Thx Much

    Thx Much, I am aware of all that, just wondering is there is any software freeware, widget that could tell me where all my very large files are at the same time with having to go through all the folders/files/libraries..
    It is amazing that many large files are stored in the strangest places.

    "My Mac was stopped suddenly by a power cut. Could this be relevant?"
    Sounds very relevant.
    Do you have access to another computer with Numbers installed?
    If so, do your files open properly on that computer?
    If so, then the problem is your computer itself, which is best posted in a different forum.

    I upgraded from snow leopard to mavericks only to find that my backup files of all my CS3 indesign, illustrator, photoshop wo't run, how do I uninstall mavericks and get my old system back.  I retired from graphics a few years back but still have old clients I do work for and maintain files for.  Would not have upgraded if I had known of the incompatability.

    You did not due any due dilligence to investigate if your legacy apps would run, you should upgrade your apps. However if you feel you have to downgrade back to SL then click

  • IT tunes music - some, a lot, of somgs stop playing half way through. the files are all ok and complete? ive tried downloading / updating but no joy?

    IT tunes music - some, a lot, of songs stop playing half way through. the files are all ok and complete? ive tried re - downloading / updating but no joy? can anyone help its most annoying

    Yes, in theory re-converting would lessen the quality further. However, I have heard people claim (unsubstantiated) that if you are encoding with the same encoder at the same bit rate, then since it will use the same algorthymn, it won't really change the file. I have absolutely no idea if that is true or not.
    But... I figure some slight loss in quality re-encoding is still better quality than a song that only plays half way and then stops, right? I suppose you could always tag those files in the comment section with something like "Re-Encoded" and then later if you gain access to your old CDs, you can then make a Smart Playlist to gather those songs and then re-rip them again from your CDs.
    Cheers,

    Hi Thomas,
    Thanks for the response.  So, after the computer did it's restart thing after installing I went into finder where I usually have everything come up including my Macintosh HD folder and all it's folders and files.. Anyway it was this that hadn't come up and all the files were listed under All My Files and out of all their folders.  I totally switched the computer off after posted the problem and now having switched it back on I see that it's all there and in it's proper files. 

  • 7.6 can only find files in the itunes folder - My Music files are all lost

    Since upgrading to itunes 7.6 all my old files that were located in My Music are no longer found by itunes. However all files in My Music/itunes are found.
    I have not changed the file names, what has happened?
    As I have loads of files in the old My Music folder it is a problem to redirect every file individually.
    I do have a backup of the computer but what do I restore as all the music files are where they have always been?

    Again many thanks. I have tried to tidy up the folders as per your idiot guide- which term is appropriate for me
    Under iTunes Media though I do not have  folders for Books,iPod Games, Mobile Applications, Movies, TV Shows so I only have  Auto Add to iTunes, Music, Downloads and Podcasts - My question here is is this OK.
    Next - Library files that you mention are there but do not end .itdb
    Next  - in the main iTunes folder followingon from Artwork and Media folders  there is some other  iTunes database stuff like Library Extras, Library Genius, Library and Music Library(xml) all dated 10/02/12 plus MimiPlayer .dll dated 21/02/14 and Set Up Short Cut dated22/03/14  
    AND there is also a Programme Files folder with a sub folder holding file folders called CD Configuration,iTunes Resources, iTunes Help Resources, iTunes Mini Player Resources and Mozilla Plugins all dated 24/03/14 ( when I downloaded the new iTunes) and then a lot of application extension stuff from 2011
    To recap I unistalled the old 32 bit iTunes and installed the new 11.1.5 (64 bit) version over the weekend  SO is any of the old stuff listed above required.
    Outcome right now is that as previously I can only call up the Downloaded music not Podcats or CD copies.

  • MY BB Z10 was Unable to Boot after Many Attempts-soon after my files are all gone!!!

    Dear BB Support Group,
    Greetings!
    I'll always been a BB user since then, even if my Siblings are asking me why??(They are iPhone Users) Until last week, my BB Z10 wasn't be able to boot in its normal boot time. I tried and tried so many times, read the other helpful tips from the internet but i couldn't find the solution. I bought my Z10 only last March of 2013. I am not a hard user of my BB because my field of work are not allowed to used the phone while at work. We can but i choose not to, unless breaktime.
    Let me get back again to the main issue, my sister let me used her iPhone for 5 days then today i decided to try again to reboot my mobile. I was so determined to do so. I follow the link below.
    http://www.geeksquad.co.uk/articles/restore-your-blackberry-z10-when-it-will-not-turn-on
    then, really my mobile works once again, BUT i was so dissapointed that doing it so will also wipe out all my messages, phonebooks, images, documents, and videos WHICH are all important and  memorable to me. I never back up all those files. I was so depressed at this moment and sadly I was so sorry for buying Z10 and for always defending Blackberry to my sibling and colleague.
    Now, my blackberry I think is on its factory setting because it was obvious that it's like im on the starting tutorial and so again...
    My Question was:
    1. Is it possible to retrieve or recover all my deleted files? If possible please help me and guide me.
    2. Why BB z10 are hanging and mostly the wifi connection or mobile network cannot be read.
    3. Why it takes sometime to reboot?
    4. Why it happens to BB z10? I mean, why when you were restarting or rebooting it will take like 24 hours but still on its 99%, and freeze on that level? so we dont have choice but to press again the start button and start the process again.
    Please I wish BB support group can help me on this, all those files are important to me, those captured moments that we cannot repeated again family videos and many more are all gone.... really it was the most saddest day of my life...
    I hope to hear from you soon...I wish that it can be fixed and IF NOT please try to manage well issues (Hanging Z10, booting more than 24hrs) like this becasue your name and credebility are your main goal to take care off..  
    Thank you and advance. Looking forward for your favorable response.
    Kind regards,
    Cecile

    "now how do u know its he or she?"
    Does it matter?

  • Backup files are now Unix Executable files

    I backed up my iPhone on my laptop (pc) but when i but transferred all my iPhone backup files to my iMac there was a couple of folders that are now Unix Executable files which are coincidentally are the same backups that I cant use to restore my iPhone without receiving an error message.
    Also, is there a program that I can use to read the history.mapsdata file? Thanks

    I automatically run OnyX once a week for maintenance, but it didn't help this situation.
    Those chores won't reset the LaunchServices database. Go to the Maintenance heading and click on the Reset tab. Turn on the check box for "LaunchServices database" (all other check boxes off). Click the Reset radio button and then Execute. Restart your Mac.
    OS X will automatically rebuild the database according to the applications on your hard drive, giving preference to Apple applications as they would be when you first install OS X. So if you have the Acrobat Reader set up to open PDF files, you'll have to do that again as they will be set back to Preview.
    Actually it's .qxd not .qkd for Quark XPress file extensions.
    That's it! I knew .qkd was wrong, but Quark 6.x won't show you the old extensions when you save a file, and I couldn't remember it (been using InDesign steadily for a while now).

  • Why DNG files are bigger when converting from TIFF?

    When I shoot in RAW, my normal workflow is to convert all images to DNG and start editing in Lightroom. But as you know, there are some photos that need extra editing in pixel based software such as Photoshop.
    When I right-click a DNG in Lightroom and chose "Edit In... » Edit in Adobe Photoshop", the photo will be opened in Photoshop as an 8-bit TIFF file for editing. For demonstration of my issue, let's assume I don't do any changes and just save the file as it is. A new TIFF file will be created next to the source DNG with "-Edit" in it's name.
    Back into Lightroom, both files are almost the same, one is DNG, the other in 8-bit TIFF. From this point (assuming I did change something in Photoshop, otherwise what would be the point in opening it there) I should do my further editing in Lightroom in the TIFF and not the DNG one. Let's say I'm done with the work and export the final edited TIFF file back into a DNG (I like this format and I like to keep all metadata changes so I can easily revert back to the original). I've also exported the original DNG file for comparison.
    And now I realize the following:
    DNG to DNG » ~7Mb (basically the same as the original DNG)
    TIFF to DNG » ~15Mb
    Why such a big difference?
    I didn't do any editing either in the original DNG or the Photoshop converted TIFF. Any techincal reason for this that I'm not aware or am I doing something wrong?

    I did a little bit of research and:
    1) The embedded previews are always JPEG files (medim or full size, doesn't matter). But now that I think about it, I don't think you were talking about the previews when you mentioned the TIFF being embedded.
    2) I did a quick EXIF lookup on 3 files exported to DNG: a) Original DNG b) 16-bit TIFF converted to DNG c) 8-bit converted to DNG. Here's the EXIF results:
    a)
    SubfileType                     : Full-resolution Image
    ImageWidth                      : 3736
    ImageHeight                     : 2772
    BitsPerSample                   : 16
    Compression                     : JPEG
    PhotometricInterpretation       : Color Filter Array
    SamplesPerPixel                 : 1
    b)
    SubfileType                     : Full-resolution Image
    ImageWidth                      : 3648
    ImageHeight                     : 2736
    BitsPerSample                   : 16 16 16
    Compression                     : JPEG
    PhotometricInterpretation       : Linear Raw
    SamplesPerPixel                 : 3
    c)
    SubfileType                     : Full-resolution Image
    ImageWidth                      : 3648
    ImageHeight                     : 2736
    BitsPerSample                   : 8 8 8
    Compression                     : JPEG
    PhotometricInterpretation       : Linear Raw
    SamplesPerPixel                 : 3
    This probably means something like you said... The embedded files are different and some take more space than the others. The first one is 7.220Kb, the second one (16-bit TIFF) is 44.030Kb and the third one (8-bit TIFF) is 15.284Kb.
    It makes sense I guess, but I still would love to hear a more technical explanation for it but it's obvious it has something to do on how the pixels are saved in the DNG file. The keyword is probably the PhotometricInterpretation.
