Re: rman expired vs obsolete
Hi! Expired backups are unusable since they were not found accessible during last crosscheck or were set to expired state manually. This means that these backups can't and won't be used for restore operation. Obsolete backups can be deleted since there are enough redundant backups according to current backup retention policy. If an obsolete backup is not manually deleted yet, it can be used for restore, unlike expired backups. Backup retention policy can be changed using rman's configure command. Tanel. - Original Message - To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 23, 2004 9:59 PM Hi, I'm getting a little confused between expired backups and obsolete backups. As I understand it, expired means the backups are no longer on disk. Obsolete means the backup is too old(?). Since I have a data ware house, I only have room on disk for 1 backup. Prior to running my weekly backup, do I issue a Delete Expired or Delete Obsolete, to remove last weeks backup that is currently on disk.

RE: rman backup
Sorry to respond to such an old thread (man I'm way behind), but what if the
expected location of the archived logs isn't large enough? For example,
let's say we have a 10G archive directory, and we dump 5-10G of logs per day.
I have to go to a backup made a week ago. That's 35-70G worth of logs if I
need to roll forward. Does RMAN try and cram 'em all in at once, or will it
roll through them? That sure would be a nice feature. ;-)

When you have RMAN back up archived logs, IIRC, in a recovery RMAN first
restores those archived logs to the location that Oracle will expect them to
be, and I believe that is done as part of the RESTORE DATABASE command. In
my situation, I found no advantage from having RMAN store the archive logs,
so I have no experience there, just what I've read in the manual.
Only RMAN can perform the RESTORE DATABASE command, but once you
complete that command, you can complete the recovery using svrmgrl. From
everything I've seen, RMAN just issues the RECOVER DATABASE command to
svrmgrl or SQL*Plus.

Thanks Dennis for Reply,
My confusion is , does RMAN sees only those archived logs which are backup
using rman or it can use current archived log as well stored in original
format at other disk ?

AK - Unless you specify otherwise, RMAN will automatically apply archive
logs to bring the database up to the time of failure (your recover
database
statement). This is why it is good to run disaster recovery tests on a
regular basis, to ensure everything is ready, and you can try different
recovery times. You will see that RMAN will not complete its recovery if
the
archived logs are not available.

We take daily rman backup each nite at 10pm . Which means in worst case we
risk one day of work. Now suppose something wrong goes before 10 pm .
Then
Can I recover my database till time using previous day rman backup and
currently available archived logs.
Or in nutshell is it possible to run { restore databse; recover database }
from rman and then apply remaing archived logs from a separated disk ( not
a
rman backup ).
Thanks,

RE: rman restore question
Joan - Glad to hear your success. In the meanwhile I replied to your earlier message. Just to clarify, when you used a time-based recovery, setting a time earlier than the most recent backup, RMAN ignored the most recent backup and restored from an earlier backup? Wouldn't that have the disadvantage that you're stuck with a database that doesn't have all the recent transactions applied? Just asking, you're probably suffering from recovery fatigue now.

RE: rman restore question
Joan - I have not used the redundancy policy, but my understanding is this just involves how many backup copies to retain. It does not relate to recovery as I read the manual. Do you have Robert Freeman's book Oracle9i RMAN Backup Recovery? Are you attempting an incomplete recovery or a complete recovery? Any recovery to a time prior to the current time is defined as an incomplete recovery. If I am recalling your goal, you are trying to recover but not use the latest backup sets. I always back up using an RMAN catalog, but have always tested recovery just using the control file. On Oracle8i I found it easier to separately issue a SQL command to back up the control file after an RMAN backup, then I ensure that control file ends up on the backup tape. This means that I can take the backup tape, restore the control file, then issue RMAN commands that will restore the database. That control file only knows about the RMAN backup that was last performed. So I could restore the data files from any backup. Now, as you know, recovery in RMAN is basically a shell over the Oracle recovery mechanism. You can restore using RMAN, then recover the database using Oracle server manager (now SQL*Plus) commands. So it should be possible to restore the database using RMAN as I described it (but not restore), then replace the old control file with a more recent control file, then recover the database (Oracle will apply archive log files) until the current time is reached. Obviously by starting with an older restore, more archive logs must be applied. Take a look at this idea and see if it would meet your requirements. Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc.

Re: rman restore question
Hi! As Stephen pointed out, rman searches for a file named /rmanbackup/ADVDBA_F_20031231:15:03:39_1.450.rman, but can't find it. Is this file a newer backupset which rman is automatically trying to use? If you want to skip this file, you could use change backupset unavailable command for temporarily disabling this newer backupset.

Re: rman restore question
I was actually talking from database recovery point of view (that you can do point in time recovery prior to current controlfile time if you use using backup controlfile option when recovering. For restoring a de-registered backupset, I see two options (there might be more, more convenient ones): 1) use a old controlfile from the time when the backupset was still registered in it (you can create another, temporary recovery catalog and use resync catalog from controlfilecopy '' and then can use restore command to read from your old backupset) See metalink note 132927.1 for that. 2) use dbms_backup_restore to manually extract your files from orphan backupsets (Note 60545.1) Tanel. - Original Message - To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Tanel Poder [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2003 3:55 AM Tanel, Do you mean if I am using current controlfile to recover database, It doesn't matter the backupset is obsolete or not in the rman catalog repository database, is that sounds right?

Re: rman restore question
You can do point in time recovery using current controlfile as well. You just say recover database until cancal using backup controlfile then, that way Oracle ignores SCN information inside controlfile and trusts only datafile headers. You have to open resetlogs after that. One issue I see with this approach is that when you have added log/datafiles after your backup, then there'll be controlfile/data dictionary mismatch, but it's anyway solvable.

Re: rman restore question
Note that when you configure controlfile autobackup on, then a backup controlfile will be saved to default location (dbs or database dir under $ORACLE_HOME) after most physical database structure changes such is adding a datafile, taking tablespace offline/online etc. This is the behaviour of 9.2.0.4 on W2k at least. It may generate a good bunch of backup controfiles to Oracle software directory without your knowing...

One issue I see with this approach is that when you have added log/datafiles after your backup, then there'll be controlfile/data dictionary mismatch, but it's anyway solvable.

How it related to recover the autobackup controlfile? I did configure controlfile autobackup on though. Thanks, Joan Quoting Roger Xu [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I think you can do CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON, which enables RMAN to automatically backup controlfile to a default location. Then you can restore the controlfile before you restore other database files. -Original Message- Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2003 3:34 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi Listers, I have a question about rman restore. Right now, I configured RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY=1 and deleted the obsolete backupset on the disk after a new rman full backup is done. The old backupset will be backup-ed to tape by system group. In case of the newly backupset on disk is corrupted and need to restore the 2 days old backupset from tape. Is there any way or command to restore the database using a already deleted obsoleted backupset? (from rman catalog point of view) I could find any command and example to restore a obsoleted backupset. Any comments will be appreciated. Many many thanks!

RE: RMAN Retention Policy

I think retention policy is new in 9i.
I purge my repository of backups that are older than 90 days (because our
tape systems rotates and reuses tapes after that time) using the change
backuppiece 330783 delete; command. I run a sql script againts the rman
repository looking for pieces that satisfy this requirement. The sql looks
like this:
select 'change backuppiece bp.bp_key delete;'
from rc_backup_piece bp,rc_database db
where db.name = upper('ORACLE_SID')
and bp.db_id = db.dbid
and bp.start_time sysdate-90

Goal: To restore the database from RMAN backup on a different server by
means of moving the backup pieces and logs over to the new machine and use
Rman to unpack the database files.
Strategy: To restore the database from the RMAN backup pieces into a new
directory locations on the machine and extract the control file and startup
the database.
Some of the steps to setup the new machine.
1) Install oracle 8i
2) install the patch 4.0
3) copy .profile over
4) duplicated the Admin directories for the database to be restored
5) created a big mount /u02/vssppln/ point for all the datafiles and
controlfiles and so on
6) Created a backup mount point to store the RMAN backup pieces and
archivelogs
7) moved the backup pieces and archivelogs to the new machine
8) Setup and confirm connectivity to Rman catalog
9) No mount the database to be on the new machine
10) Launch the Rman command
rman cmdfile=restore_dbsid.rman trace=restore_dbsid.log
Problem... I run this restore from Rman backup...but it gets to processing
the command and gets to the RMAN-03022: compiling command: set and just
hangs...adding another line every 1/2 hour or so...
Anybody seen this or have ideas? I talked to one guy who did have this but
couldn't remember the solution. This is the first time doing this so I might
be missing something simple..
Here is the command in operation

RE: RMAN restore on another server
DENNIS...Thanks for your feedback. Here it is.. (NSF problem??)
1. I am not using Tape only disk backups..
2. I ftp'd the backup pieces to new machine
3. I created a link to duplicate the backup location on the original machine
and other locations as pfiles...edited the init file for new control locations
etc.
4. The controlfile was wrapping in the backup piece same backup command
5. It is an NSF mount point. (Netapp)
Is there a solution with the NFS issue?

Brian - First, congratulations on performing what seems pretty close to a
disaster recovery test. I don't know the specific answer to your problem, so
I'll ask a couple of questions related to hard points I encountered, and
maybe that will strike a cord.
1. You say you connected to your existing RMAN catalog? How does the
catalog know to recover this new database and not the one it backed up?
Maybe it is confused. I found it much simpler to recover from the
controlfile even if I used the catalog to perform the backup. Also in a true
disaster, you may not have your RMAN catalog unless you have another tape.
If you can recover from the single tape with the RMAN backup, then your
offsite tape could get you up and running.
2. Are the backup pieces in the same path as you backed them up? I don't
think that is your problem because that usually gives a clear error.
3. Are you using NFS? I encountered a problem with NFS very similar to
your symptoms. My sys admin assumed there would be only a connection or two
over NFS, so left some stuff default. Come to find out RMAN opens a bunch of
connections.
Sorry, but that is all my brain can think up on Friday.

Goal: To restore the database from RMAN backup on a different server by
means of moving the backup pieces and logs over to the new machine and use
Rman to unpack the database files.
Strategy: To restore the database from the RMAN backup pieces into a new
directory locations on the machine and extract the control file and startup
the database.
Some of the steps to setup the new machine.
1) Install oracle 8i
2) install the patch 4.0
3) copy .profile over
4) duplicated the Admin directories for the database to be restored
5) created a big mount /u02/vssppln/ point for all the datafiles and
controlfiles and so on
6) Created a backup mount point to store the RMAN backup pieces and
archivelogs
7) moved the backup pieces and archivelogs to the new machine
8) Setup and confirm connectivity to Rman catalog
9) No mount the database to be on the new machine
10) Launch the Rman command
rman cmdfile=restore_dbsid.rman trace=restore_dbsid.log
Problem... I run this restore from Rman backup...but it gets to processing
the command and gets to the RMAN-03022: compiling command: set and just
hangs...adding another line every 1/2 hour or so...
Anybody seen this or have ideas? I talked to one guy who did have this but
couldn't remember the solution. This is the first time doing this so I might
be missing something simple..

RE: RMAN restore on another server
Brian - I think that is the problem -- you can't tell RMAN you are on a
different server. The part I'm not getting a clear picture on is your
control file. For this specific recovery, how is it getting a control file?
Did you move one over from production, or are you waiting for RMAN to cough
it up from the backup pieces? On 8i this tends to be a problem.

I have ftp'd the backup pieces into the identical backup location as the
orignal server so I have all the stuff available... Im just wondering if I
have to do something to tell it that I am on a different server...
I've restored the controlfile mannually before but on the same server. I
backup the controlfile and wrap in the backup piece with the normal backup.

Brian - were you expecting RMAN to extract your controlfile from the RMAN

RE: RMAN restore on another server
Brian - My sys admin pleads amnesia on the NFS problem. My recollection was
that it was misconfigured or had a default configuration that expected only
a couple of connections and RMAN actually opens MANY file connections. My
specific symptoms is that RMAN would create the first few data files and
then just stop. Oracle Support made me take NFS out of the mix and then
everything worked.
In your case, I am also concerned about the control file. I was unable to
get 8i to create the control file from the backup although others on this
list reported success with that. I would feel better if you said that you
separately backed up the control file at the end of the RMAN backup, and
manually moved that control file into place on the test system. At least you
would eliminate that as the problem.

RE: RMAN restore on another server
why not use the RMAN duplicate database process. that sounds like what you
are trying to do. Have you ever let the script run to completion? Maybe its
slow for another reason. I have used duplicate database on Solaris many
times with great success.

Re: RMAN restore on another server
I did this exercise a few months ago and created some rough
but detailed docs that you may find helpful.

RE: RMAN restore on another server
Brian - First, congratulations on performing what seems pretty close to a
disaster recovery test. I don't know the specific answer to your problem, so
I'll ask a couple of questions related to hard points I encountered, and
maybe that will strike a cord.
1. You say you connected to your existing RMAN catalog? How does the
catalog know to recover this new database and not the one it backed up?
Maybe it is confused. I found it much simpler to recover from the
controlfile even if I used the catalog to perform the backup. Also in a true
disaster, you may not have your RMAN catalog unless you have another tape.
If you can recover from the single tape with the RMAN backup, then your
offsite tape could get you up and running.
2. Are the backup pieces in the same path as you backed them up? I don't
think that is your problem because that usually gives a clear error.
3. Are you using NFS? I encountered a problem with NFS very similar to
your symptoms. My sys admin assumed there would be only a connection or two
over NFS, so left some stuff default. Come to find out RMAN opens a bunch of
connections.
Sorry, but that is all my brain can think up on Friday.

How did you expect the restore to work w/o first restoring the
controlfile? or am i missing something here?

RE: RMAN restore on another server
Title: Message
By default RMAN restores the backup to the
machine from where it is backedup. If you need to restore the backup on to
alternate client, your netbackup admin has to setup the access. You have not mentioned
whether you are using Netbackup or legato or something else. Once the access is
set up, you can test it by connecting to rman target / catalog rman/[EMAIL PROTECTED] on
the new machine ,and issuing the command list backup at RMAN prompt on the new
machine. If you see the backups, you can restore the backup. If you are using
NETBACKUP, use the var NB_ORA_CLIENT, If not substitute with the corresponding
variable.
Startup nomount;
Run {
Allocate channel t1 type 'sbt_tape'
parms="ENV=(NB_ORA_CLIENT=backedupclient; export NB_ORA_CLIENT);
Restore controlfile;
Alter database mount;
Restore database;
Alter database open;

RE: RMAN restore on another server
Janardhana - That's a good point.
Brian - were you expecting RMAN to extract your controlfile from the RMAN
backup pieces? You are on Oracle8i, and RMAN isn't so good at doing that in
8i. I couldn't get that to work myself.

RE: RMAN questions
I suppose just how much redundancy makes you sleep well is up to you. But, one additional bit of info to keep in mind is that the backup info also gets stored in the control files, and rman can use those too if no catalog database is available. Making a copy of a control file after the backup finishes, and saving that copy, can be a part of the rman backup. That way, if you lost all control files and your catalog database, rman can use your saved control file copy get back at least most, if not all, of your stuff. -Original Message- Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: RMAN questions
I do not think you need 2 Rman catalogs. Build a small database just for Rman. After the daily backup finished bring it down and do os level backup of all the environment for this small backup. You can then easily restore it in case of disk problems. Remember: A backup is good only when you can restore from it. Test restores.

RE: RMAN restore to different machine
Randy First, you may want to investigate your company's attitude toward recovering their proprietary data on your personal machine. I can give you some ideas on your task, but my experience is on 1)Unix, and 2) Oracle 8i. I would recommend you purchase Robert Freeman's book Oracle9i RMAN Backup Recovery. Well worth the money. In Oracle8i I wasn't able to extract the control file from the RMAN backup, so I just backed that up separately. But I think Robert's book describes how to do that. I never worried about the init.ora file in Oracle8i, relying on the normal system backup to back that up. You could probably either copy the spfile from your production system (if you tell me you don't have access to that system, then you'll really concern me about what you are trying to do) or create a dummy init.ora to get the instance started. I don't know if you used the controlfile or catalog backup to create this RMAN backup. I use the catalog backup, but found it easier to recover using just the controlfile. The one sticky point is that RMAN will want its backup pieces in the same path that it backed them up. I haven't found any way of changing that. In Unix you can fool RMAN by creating a link. When you say that you couldn't get RMAN to look at the CD drive, that may be the problem you are encountering. If you are using Windows, perhaps you could find the drive letter used to create the backup and use that same drive letter on your personal machine. You can change the location where RMAN will restore the files with the SET NEWNAME command for each data file. RMAN will restore the database with the original instance name.

I don't know if you used the controlfile or catalog backup to create this RMAN backup. I use the catalog backup, but found it easier to recover using just the controlfile. The one sticky point is that RMAN will want its backup pieces in the same path that it backed them up. I haven't found any way of changing that. In Unix you can fool RMAN by creating a link. When you say that you couldn't get RMAN to look at the CD drive, that may be the problem you are encountering. If you are using Windows, perhaps you could find the drive letter used to create the backup and use that same drive letter on your personal machine. You can change the location where RMAN will restore the files with the SET NEWNAME command for each data file. RMAN will restore the database with the original instance name. Hope this is of some assistance. Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc.

Re: RMAN Error
Tamizh,
You are probably running out of space in the file-system you
were located within when you invoked RMAN. It would be
better to specify a full path-name in the FORMAT= clause
(i.e. specify directory as well as filename), to make sure
that the file-system where you are creating the backupsets
is the one you intend.
Hope this helps...

Re: RMAN: SVR4 Error: 27: File too large
It looks like you need to SET LIMIT ... for the channel allocation, if 8i, to less than 2GB. In 9i this can be set with MAXSETSIZE (not sure if SET LIMIT is still supported in 9i). Note that you cannot back up a file larger than the SET LIMIT size, so based on your ulimit command I assume that you don't have any datafiles larger the 2GB as well.

RE: rman backup
AK
When you have RMAN back up archived logs, IIRC, in a recovery RMAN first
restores those archived logs to the location that Oracle will expect them to
be, and I believe that is done as part of the RESTORE DATABASE command. In
my situation, I found no advantage from having RMAN store the archive logs,
so I have no experience there, just what I've read in the manual.
Only RMAN can perform the RESTORE DATABASE command, but once you
complete that command, you can complete the recovery using svrmgrl. From
everything I've seen, RMAN just issues the RECOVER DATABASE command to
svrmgrl or SQL*Plus.

We take daily rman backup each nite at 10pm . Which means in worst case we
risk one day of work. Now suppose something wrong goes before 10 pm .
Then
Can I recover my database till time using previous day rman backup and
currently available archived logs.
Or in nutshell is it possible to run { restore databse; recover database }
from rman and then apply remaing archived logs from a separated disk ( not
a
rman backup ).
Thanks,

Re: RMAN Incremental
Michal, Are you using partitioning, and if so, are there tablespaces you can set to read only? If so, then you only need to back up the read only tablespaces often enough that your backup software retention time doesn't cause the RO TBS's to all be aged out. This could eliminate a lot of backup time/tape. Jared On Fri, 2003-10-24 at 16:34, Michael Kline wrote: I'm working at a Data Warehouse and they are looking for backup possibilities...

Re: RMAN Incremental
Michael, I hope you have the tables partitioned on some date column. You can make some of the older partitions read only and back them up only once. Another solution is to exchange the partitions with a table to convert your old partitions to tables, transporting them to a tape and keep it on the tape. If the database crashed, you will plug these TSs back to the DB and exchange the partitions with the tables created earlier. I presented a session at Oracle World this year describing a case study of a datawarehouse where I have described the backup and recovery approach. You can download it from OTN or from my website (www.proligence.com/downloads.html). Be sure to download both the paper and the presentation. HTH.

Re: RMAN problem: RMAN-20242
I consider a 20242 error as an acceptable one, here is why: If i ask rman to backup archivelogs that are more than 2days old and there are none, thats not an error. That is when i see it the most, now most companies will force a log switch after a set amount of time during the day so in DR, you dont lose days worth of redo that might still be hanging in a redo log if it gets lost. joe Daiminger, Helmut wrote: Hi there! We are having problems with an Oracle backup.

RE: RMAN - Compressing using named piped
I dont think you can compress rman files while backups are running. RMAN doesnt support external compression while backups are running 'cause RMAN has to validate backups. You can compress all the files once your backup is completed. I tried that in the past but didnt work. Infect thereare sometechnical forums onmetalink about that. I have a script which I used to validate backups and gzip files after backups are completed. If you are interested I can send you offline, script is not very good but worked fine. -Original Message-From: laura pena [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2003 7:45 AMTo: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-LSubject: RMAN - Compressing using named piped I am running Oracle 9i R2 and want my RMAN files gzipped to save disk space.

In 9i RMAN you can configure controlfile autobackup on - that way RMAN always backs up controlfile as well during any backup. You just have to note that if you configure controlfile autobackup on, then this is remembered in controlfile and during several physical database operations like adding datafile, creating/dropping tablespace, taking tablespace/datafile online a controlfile backup is also created (default location $ORACLE_HOME/dbs or database). If you don't take it into account you could have hundreds of old controlfiles lying around if your environment involves a lot of physical structure changes (transportable tablespaces, read only/read write tablespaces etc).

Re: RMAN in NOCATALOG mode?
No, controlfile is irrelevant as long as you got your physical structure somewhere (eg. controlfile trace) and all your redologs intact. You just recover using backup controlfile then (which means whatever controlfile you got, ignore it's checkpoint progress and other SCN information). That way you can recover to any point in time, providing that you recover all online datafiles to consistent SCN (you can't open a database recovered until SCN 1000 when one file has checkpoint SCN 1200 for example) Tanel. - Original Message - To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2003 8:39 PM me too. learned this from testing Rman back in 8.1.6. plus, you need this control file to recover from to get as late (most recent) timestamp as possible for recovery purposes. -Original Message- Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2003 11:45 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I always backup the controlfile as a separate statement AFTER the back is done so hopefully the backup i just completed is in there :) joe Denham Eva wrote: Hello Wondering about this.

RE: RMAN in NOCATALOG mode?
All, I also backup the control file as the last step within the backup and use the PL/SQL procedure within the documentation to restore the control file manually if needed - I think 9i has this in RMAN now. I found this was necessary if you wanted to get the last change from your backup and the recovery catalog was not available for some reason. Also meant that I didn't have the extra work of restoring our recovery catalog during Disaster Recovery. What is everyone's opinion on using the recovery catalog? I still have one configured because it records a lot more history (which I needed at one point), but is it really necessary? Cheers, Craig.

RE: RMAN error - can someone help ?
It looks like you don't have your ORACLE_SID specified correctly since, if I
read this correctly, the database you are trying to restore is on dick c:.
Set you ORACLE_SID which will be the target and try again.
HTH,
Ruth
p.s I do not have any databases on Windows so I am not sure how to set the
SID.

Hi,
My target instance is 9.2.0.4 on Host A ( Ms-win2k + SP3 ).
My recovery catalog is also 9.2.0.4 on Host B ( Ms-win2k + SP3 ).
My target destination for backup files is R:\ which resides
on Host C (WinNT).This drive R:\ is common to both Host A and B.
Things work fine accessing R:\ from both Host A and B.
I tried a TSPITR following the doc. 180436.1. It is for 8i.
Question #1: is it applicable for 9i also ?
If YES,
when i say (on Host A,the target),
run {
ALLOCATE AUXILIARY CHANNEL A1 TYPE DISK;
ALLOCATE CHANNEL c1 TYPE DISK;
recover tablespace users until time TO_DATE('MAR-05-2002
11:27:00', 'MON-DD- HH:MI:SS');
}
i get the error below:

Re: RE: RMAN error - can someone help ?
Ruth,
Set you ORACLE_SID which will be the target and try again.
c: set ORACLE_SID=AUX92
AUX92 is the name of my auxiliary instance on Host A ( target host ).
c: rman target [EMAIL PROTECTED] catalog [EMAIL PROTECTED] auxiliary sys
trace=c:\tspitr.log
where PE92 is the target on same Host A and LAT92 is my recovery catalog on a
diff. host.
This is what metalink doc. 180436.1 says:
rman target sys/[EMAIL PROTECTED] catalog rman/[EMAIL PROTECTED] auxiliary /
trace=d:\tspitr.log
It looks like you don't have your ORACLE_SID specified correctly since, if I
read this correctly, the database you are trying to restore is on dick c:.
my target database is in d:\oracle\
but even then where did this path come from ??
ORA-19504: failed to create file D:\ORACLE\ORA92\DATABASE\;\SYSTEM01.DBF
those ;\ in the path look strange and wonder oracle appends that ??
any clues Ruth.just stuck up here and not able to proceed further.
i tried it repeatedly.
Thanx once again.

Re: Rman equivalent for MS-SQL server
There is no MSSQL utility that is directly equivalent to RMAN. You use Enterprise Manager or Query Analyzer to manage backups.

RE: Rman equivalent for MS-SQL server
You can actually use Database Maintenance Plans, to mimic RMAN to a certain extent. Database Maintenance Plans is basically a wizard that generates a load of MSDB jobs that get run by the SQL*Agent. This does have some limitations though. It has no support for differential backups, doesn't support appended backups to an already existing device, you can't duplex back up files, and a number of the backup options aren't available. This is described in some detail in SQLServer for Oracle DBAs an e-book that I would highly recommend to all primarily Oracle DBAs that have to do a certain amount of SQLServer work too. http://www.chriskempster.com/ HTH Mark === Mark Leith | T: +44 (0)1905 330 281 Sales Marketing | F: +44 (0)870 127 5283 Cool Tools UK Ltd | E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] === http://www.cool-tools.co.uk Maximising throughput performance -Original Message- Gudmundur Josepsson Sent: 16 September 2003 11:19 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L There is no MSSQL utility that is directly equivalent to RMAN.

Besides you may refer to Backup Recovery by Rama Velpuri (8/8i). A bit old but nevertheless good. All said and done, create a clone database and keep crashing it in all ways you can think of, and try to recover it. That should give you the confidence , letting you know how oracle handles the internals etc. Go thru Recovery principles, Case Studies by Rama Velpuri. (Add RF's book too).

RMAN Script Question
I believe I have an RMAN script syntax
error. The following script works fine:
resync catalog; run { allocate channel t1 type 'SBT_TAPE'; backup incremental level 0 skip inaccessible tag hot_db_bk_level0 filesperset 5 format 'data_full_%d_%U_%p_%c.bak'
(database); backup
tag='control_file_backup' format 'control_%s_%t.ctl' (current controlfile) ; release channel t1; }
However, when I change the backup command to
include archive logs and remove them after backup, I get an exit status of 1
in NetBackup and some RMAN errors. Here is the revised
script:
resync catalog; run { allocate channel t1 type 'SBT_TAPE'; backup database plus archivelog delete
input skip
inaccessible tag
hot_db_bk_level0 filesperset
5 format
'data_full_%d_%U_%p_%c.bak' (database); backup tag='control_file_backup'
format 'control_%s_%t.ctl' (current
controlfile) ; release channel
t1; }
Here is the RMAN error:
RMAN-00571:

Ronald,
It looks like just the archivelog was not going into the correct
directory, right? But then you did *not* include a format clause for
the archivelog.
Looking at the docs, it looks like you should change the following:
backup database format
'D:\backup\oracle\Hotbackup\rman_d%d_t%t_U%U.bak' plus archivelog;
to
backup database format
'D:\backup\oracle\Hotbackup\rman_d%d_t%t_U%U.bak' plus archivelog format
'D:\backup\oracle\Hotbackup\arcs_d%d_t%t_U%U.bak'
Good Luck!

The nightly physical and logical backups were successful completed with no error.

I believe I have an RMAN script syntax error.
The following script works fine:
resync catalog; run { allocate channel t1 type 'SBT_TAPE'; backup incremental level 0 skip inaccessible tag hot_db_bk_level0 filesperset 5 format 'data_full_%d_%U_%p_%c.bak' (database); backup tag='control_file_backup' format 'control_%s_%t.ctl' (current controlfile)
; release channel t1;
}
However, when I change the backup command to
include archive logs and remove them after backup, I get an exit status of 1
in NetBackup and some RMAN errors. Here is the revised
script:
resync catalog; run { allocate channel t1 type 'SBT_TAPE'; backup database plus archivelog delete
input skip
inaccessible tag
hot_db_bk_level0 filesperset
5 format
'data_full_%d_%U_%p_%c.bak' (database); backup tag='control_file_backup' format 'control_%s_%t.ctl' (current controlfile) ; release channel t1; }
Here is the RMAN error:
RMAN-00571:
=== RMAN-00569: === ERROR MESSAGE STACK
FOLLOWS === RMAN-00571:
=== RMAN-00558: error encountered while parsing input

;, skip, setsize, tag"
RMAN-01007: at line 8 column 36 file:
/usr/openv/netbackup/oracle_db/hot_database_backup_level0.rcv
Anyone see the error?
