Will RMAN remove invalid backup pieces from Backup tests?

DB Version: 10.2.0.4.0
Thinking that Level1 backups don't take much time, In production, I was testing a Level 1 bkp (I took a level 0 bkp of our 700gb only yesterday).
But, the end users were complaining that system has become very slow. So, i've cancelled the LEVEL 1 backup.
Now i can see 5 backup pieces wasting some space.
I know that RMAN removes expired backup like
delete expired backup;But, how do i script RMAN to remove files mentioned above ie.files from a backup that was aborted halfway through ?

Hi Insignificant
But, how do i script RMAN to remove files mentioned above ie.files from a backup that was aborted halfway through ?If you can locate them on the OS level you could remove them with OS commands.
For backup pieces containg datafiles use <crosscheck backup;> followed by <delete expired backup;> with rman client.

  • Restore backup pieces from tape to disk

    Hello,
    I want to restore the backup pieces from tape to disk.   Is there any way of getting those bacup pieces to disk. 
    I have contacted storage team, that they can't copy the files, only through rman utility the files can be used.
    I just need to restore the files from tape to disk.  No, need to restore the database.  I just need this for future purpose...
    Thanks,
    Ramesh G

    You can try to use LIST BACKUP to get the backup piece name and then use Veritas tool to restore the backup piece from tape to disk.

    Hi,
    Is it possible to restore rman backup piece from tape to disk? Please advice.
    Thanks,

    Is it possible to restore rman backup piece from tape to disk? Please advice.I dont think so it is related with ORACLE database to copy backup pieces from tape to disk.
    You might have any other vendors like veritas, Symmetrix & all. We backup an Oracle database via the TDP application to tape

  • Early 2008 iMac will not reinstall OSX or restore from backup

    My system started rebooting on startup a few weeks ago.  It would eventually get so I could use it.  I backed all my important files except for some audiobooks from the library I had saved to iTunes and some archived emails on my HD.  Now, I can't get the system to reinstall OSX Mavericks or restore from Backup. They start but then reboot.  Disk utility is now showing the HD as verified.  I installed the 6GB memory pack from OWC about 3 weeks before everything started to go downhill.  I had no prior problems with the memory upgrade.  I even removed the 4 GB module.  Still no improvement.  Does anyone have any Idea how I can retrieve my audiobooks and email files and save them on my PC laptop?  Thanks!

    When I try to boot up in Safe Mode, sometimes I get 3 beeps which repeat over and over.  I tried to repair disk, it said to erase the disk, format and restore from backup.  The backup stops after about 3 percent of the restore is accomplished.  I am super frustrated!!!

  • If I delete my Iphone from the Icloud back up will it remove the items saved from that device?

    I had to purchase a new Iphone today because it would no longer turn on. I had Icloud set up for that device. When I got my new phone I put in my exsisting apple ID and it is showing my other device. Since it has both phones listed, am I able to delete the old phone, or will that take whatever is saved from that device off of my Icloud account?

    Welcome to the Apple Community Erica.
    Just do another back up.

  • Remove alter system checkpoint from Backup script

    We are seeing high response time when we run alter system checkpoint and when we run "BEGIN BACKUP". Can we remove that from the script currently it's something like:
    alter system checkpoint
    alter system archive current
    begin backup
    Also would suspend/resume help if we have it after "begin backup" in response time?
    Edited by: user628400 on Mar 26, 2009 5:06 PM

    Hi;
    It says;
    "SQL-induced checkpoints are heavyweight. This means that Oracle records the checkpoint in a control file shared by all the redo threads. Oracle also updates the datafile headers. SQL-induced checkpoints move the checkpoint position to the point that corresponded to the end of the log when the statement was initiated. These checkpoints can adversely affect performance, because the additional writes to the datafiles increase system overhead."
    According to my experiences, manually checkpointing has never been a quick operation.
    How long it takes to finish checkpoint?

  • Rman restore backup pieces to a location

    Dear all,
    10gr2p4 on solaris
    We are in the process of duplicating a RAC database to a single node
    We have all our RMAN backups to tape using veritas backup. Is there anyway I can restore the backup pieces from tape to disk on the (node where I need to duplicate)
    then using CATALOG command to catalog this backup pieces and start duplicating manually . Can I restore rman (backup pieces) in the file system of the test node ?
    Please guide
    Kai

    You can try to use LIST BACKUP to get the backup piece name and then use Veritas tool to restore the backup piece from tape to disk.

  • RMAN-05556: not all datafiles have backups that can be recovered to SCN

    Oracle 11.2.0.2 SE-One
    Oracle Linux 5.6 x86-64
    Weekly refresh of a test db from prod, using rman DUPLICATE DATABASE, failed with “RMAN-05556: not all datafiles have backups that can be recovered to SCN”
    Background Summary:
    Weekly inc 0 backup of production starts on Sunday at 0100, normally completes around 1050.  Includes backups of archivelogs
    Another backup of just archivelogs runs on Sunday at 1200, normally completes NLT 1201.
    On the test server, the refresh job starts on Sunday at 1325.  In the past this script used a set until time \"to_date('`date +%Y-%m-%d` 11:55:00','YYYY-MM-DD hh24:mi:ss')\"; -- hard-coded for ‘today at 11:55’.
    For a variety of reasons I decided to replace this semi-hard coding of the UNTIL with a value determined by querying the rman catalog, getting the completion time of the inc 0 backup.  This tested out just fine in my vbox lab, even when I deliberately drove some updates and log switches during the period the backup was running.  But the first time to go live I got the above reported error.
    Details:
    The key part of the inc 0 backup is this (run from a shell script)
    export BACKUP_LOC=/u01/backup/dbprod
    $ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target=/ catalog rman/***@rmcat<<EOF
    configure backup optimization on;
    configure default device type to disk;
    configure retention policy to recovery window of 2 days;
    crosscheck backup;
    crosscheck archivelog all;
    delete noprompt force obsolete;
    delete noprompt force expired backup;
    delete noprompt force expired archivelog all;
    configure controlfile autobackup on;
    configure controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to '$BACKUP_LOC/%d_%F_ctl.backup';
    CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT   '$BACKUP_LOC/%U.rman' MAXPIECESIZE 4096 M;
    sql "alter system archive log current";
    show all;
    backup as compressed backupset archivelog all delete all input format "$BACKUP_LOC/%U.alog";
    backup as compressed backupset incremental level 0 database tag tag_dbprod;
    sql "alter system archive log current";
    backup as compressed backupset archivelog all delete all input format "$BACKUP_LOC/%U.alog";
    list recoverable backup;
    EOF
    The archivelog-only backup (runs at noon) looks like this:
    export BACKUP_LOC=/u01/backup/dbprod
    $ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target=/ catalog rman/***@rmcat<<EOF
    configure backup optimization on;
    configure default device type to disk;
    configure retention policy to recovery window of 2 days;
    crosscheck backup;
    crosscheck archivelog all;
    delete noprompt force obsolete;
    delete noprompt force expired backup;
    delete noprompt force expired archivelog all;
    configure controlfile autobackup on;
    configure controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to '$BACKUP_LOC/%d_%F_ctl.backup';
    CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT   '$BACKUP_LOC/%U.rman' MAXPIECESIZE 4096 M;
    sql "alter system archive log current";
    show all;
    backup as compressed backupset archivelog all delete all input format "$BACKUP_LOC/%U.alog";
    list recoverable backup;
    EOF
    And the original refresh looked like this:
    >> a step to ftp the backups from the prod server to the test server, and some other housekeeping  <<, then
    cd /backup/dbtest
    echo "connect catalog rman/***@rmcat" >  /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
    echo "connect target sys/*******@dbprod" >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
    echo "connect auxiliary /"             >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
    echo "run {"                           >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
    echo "set until time \"to_date('`date +%Y-%m-%d` 11:55:00','YYYY-MM-DD hh24:mi:ss')\";"  >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
    echo "duplicate target database to DBTEST;"  >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
    echo "}" >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
    So, my mod to the refresh was
    bkup_point=`sqlplus -s rman/***@rmcat <<EOF1
    set echo off verify off feedback off head off pages 0 trimsp on
    select to_char(max(completion_time),'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss')
    from rc_backup_set_details
    where db_name='DBPROD'
    and backup_type='D'
    and incremental_level=0
    exit
    EOF1`
    cd /backup/dbtest
    echo "connect catalog rman/***@rmcat"     > /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
    echo "connect target sys/*******@dbprod"    >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
    echo "connect auxiliary /"                >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
    echo "run {"                              >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
    echo "set until time \"to_date('${bkup_point}','YYYY-MM-DD hh24:mi:ss')\";"  >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
    echo "duplicate target database to DBTEST;" >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
    echo "}"                                  >> /backup/dbtest/dbtest_refresh.rman
    Now the fun begins.
    First, an echo in the refresh script confirmed the ‘bkup_point’:
    =======================================================
    We will restore to 2013-08-25 10:41:38

    Internally, rman reset the ‘until’ as follows:

    Notice the availability of the archivelogs including the referenced scn.
    Investigation of the ftp portion of the refresh script confirmed that all backup pieces were copied from the prod server.
    So what am I overlooking?  Having reverted back to the original script to get the refresh completed,

    Yet, why does backupset 5 of the noon archivelog backup show archivelogs from 10:30 to 10:40  if they had been deleted by the database backup script which has a delete input ?  It is as if the database backup script did NOT delete the archivelogs and the noon run was the one to backup the archivelogs (again ?)
    No, that is from the morning full backup.  Note the 'Completion Time" of 25-Aug-2013 10:54:53
    However, the error message seems to point to a datafile.  Why would reverting the recovery point to 11:55 make a difference, I wonder.
    As do I.
    Also puzzling to me are the times associated with the completion of the backups.  I don't recall ever having to scrutinize a backup listing this closely so I'm sure it's just a matter of filling in some gaps in my understanding, but I noticed this.  The backup report (list backup;) shows this for the inc 0 backup:

    I hope this posts in a readable, understandable manner.  I really struggeled with the 'enhanced editor', which I normally use.  When I pasted in blocks from the rman report, it kept trying to make some sort of table structure out of it .... guess I'll have to follow that up with a question in the Community forum ....

  • Lost my contacts list and try to restore from backup and it ask for my password to unlock my iphone backup. I don't remember creating a password for it. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    Lost my contacts list and try to restore from backup and it ask for my password to unlock my iphone backup. I don't remember creating a password for it. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    If you encrypted the backup, there is no way around it. You will need to configure your iPhone as a new device.
    From iTunes: About iOS backups:
    In the iTunes Summary screen, select "Encrypt iPhone backup" if you want to encrypt the information stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup. Encrypted backups are indicated by a padlock icon, and a password is required to restore the information to iPhone. You may want to write down the password for your backup and store it in a safe place. If you use a Mac, when you set a password you can select to store the password in the keychain. With iOS 4 and later, you can transfer the iOS keychain backup to a new device if you encrypt the backup.
    Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
    If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

  • Error reading backup piece, unable to open file,

    Edited by: user10404616 on Mar 31, 2010 7:51 AM

    You must copy the backup pieces from SysA to SysB -- to the expected location. This would be the same directory path as on SysA.
    See the documentation on the DUPLICATE DATABASE command :
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14194/rcmsynta028.htm#RCMRF126
    If the target and duplicate databases reside on different hosts, then you must do one of the following tasks for duplication to be successful:
    Move backups and disk copies from the target host to the duplicate host to the same location as the target host so that the path names are identical
    Move backups and disk copies from the target host to the duplicate host to a new location (so that the path names are different), and then CATALOG them.
    Make sure that all backups and copies (disk or sbt) on the target host are remotely accessible from the duplicate host. Make sure that the archived redo logs are available in the expected location in the new host.

    You are someone had to put a check in the box to encrypt your iPhone backup.
    Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password you can continue to do backups and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password.
