If it is an RMAN backup, I think you can still extract the backup file sets
with tar,
of cause you then need to restore these file sets with RMAN
2014-09-10 14:43 GMT+02:00 Lightner, Jeff jlight...@dsservices.com:
If it was an RMAN backup tar probably won’t help.RMAN backups are
controlled by a repository on the Oracle side so what you see as file list
in the backup isn’t really a file but rather something that make sense to
that repository.
I was saying if it is NOT an RMAN backup tar might help. Note the tar
I’m talking about is a modified GNU tar that comes with NetBackup.

Checking with the creator of the tape as to method of rman backup that was
used. Once I find out I will test a couple tar versions, I only have the
tar32.exe from 7.1 in the windows world but we have centos machines and
Solaris machines I can test their tar version on the tape if it want an
rman-NetBackup add-on that did the backup.

Was the original image written using RMAN? If so your server requires the
Oracle plugin. If you don’t have that on 7.1 you might want to get it and
retry. (Note it is an additional cost for that license.)
If it is just a filesystem backup you may not be able to “import” if there
are NetBackup headers for 7.5 on it that 7.1 doesn’t recognize but you
MIGHT be able to get the data off the tape using the “tar” command that
comes with NetBackup (typically /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/tar on UNIX/Linux).
Typically UNIX can be restored to Linux and vice-versa from a NetBackup
standpoint. There IS a difference in big endian/little endian between
UNIX on RISC and Linux on Intel though and Oracle has an issue with that so
even if you get the tar to work you might not be able to use the datafiles
in Oracle. If the backup was a “dump” from Oracle to flat files that were
then backed up to tape the dump can probably be imported by Oracle on Linux.

I think I am going to have a lot of trouble importing this tape.
Not only am I on 7.1 but my master server is Windows and theirs was Solaris
Anyone have a possible way for me to read this tape without installing
Solaris and creating a new master server?

Does 7.5 write to tape differently than 7.1?
