   DBA-VIDEO -RMAN Managed Complete Backup

   

RMAN-Managed Complete Backup

Introduction

As a DBA, you are also responsible for performing complete backups using the RMAN tool. Your job"s responsibilities dictate that you should at least be informed of the following basic fundamental subjects:

 

Performing a complete database backup

Using the LIST BACKUP command

Commands:

DOS> rman CATALOG

RMAN> BACKUP DATABASE

RMAN> LIST BACKUP;

RMAN> exit;

 

Hands-on

In this exercise you will learn how to perform a complete FULL database backup using the RMAN tool.

Now, connect to the SCHOOL database as the SYSTEM/MANAGER user.
SQL> CONNECT system/manager@school

Go back to the RMAN tool and connect to the SCHOOL database as the target database and the RMAN database as a repository.
DOS> rman CATALOG rman/password@dbs4rman TARGET system/manager@school


Perform a complete backup

The following is one way you can do the complete database backup. Notice that the default backup destination is %ORACLE_HOME%.
rman>

RUN
{
     ALLOCATE CHANNEL mybackup TYPE disk;
     BACKUP DATABASE;
}


-OR-

 

rman> BACKUP DATABASE;


Perform a complete backup in an specific location
Or you can perform a complete RMAN backup database and store the backup in the RMANBKUP directory with stamp date, the backup set number, and the piece number. Notice that we use %T for the date, %s for the backup set number, and %p for the piece number.

RMAN> BACKUP DATABASE FORMAT 'c:_%T_%s_%p';


Verify Backup
Verify the complete or full backup by issuing the LIST BACKUP command.
rman> LIST BACKUP;

 

Exit from the recovery manager.
rman> exit;
