: Introduction to RMAN

. oracle Database backup and recovery automation -

. It performs block level backup -
. Introduced in oracle 8i version paralism -
Detecting corruption in data files -
. Validating Backup -
. Recovery Catalog etc -
. Multi Destination Backups -
. Archive Log is must to use RMAN -

. RMAN is faster because it takes block level backups -1

.RMAN is faster because we can initiate paralle process -2
. RMAN will detect data block corruption and repair it for you -3
RMAN stores backup metadata information in the database -4
controfile , you can also store the information into different
database on different server which is called as recovery
. catalog
. RMAN incramantal recovery -5
. level 0  full database backup -
level 1backup of only change blocks taken by referring the -
.data block header for updated SCN
As per recovery , we must only restore the database from 6-
. level from level 0 and recovery the DB using level 1

: Using level 1 *
when try to take level Backup,RMAN checks if already you -
. have level 0 backup or not
Recovery is of two parts : Restored and Recovery . We -7
cannot perform recovery without doing restore Hense , level 0
. is used for restore and level is used for recovery
Recovery is of two Parts : Restore and cannot .we cannot -8
perform level 0 is used for restore and level is used for
.recovery
;RMAN Configuration Item : show all -9
: Understanding backup methodology
. Full backup :-1 Enter database backup
Cannot apply incremental backup on full 2-
.backup
Incremental Backup : -1 levelfull backup
level  backup changes only from 2-
last
. Level 0 backup
: Components of RMAN
RMAN prompt 1-
. Target Database -2
. Recovery catalog -3
Auxiliary Database  clone DB connection -4
. Media Mangement Layer -5
. RMAN channels -6
: RMAN full back up on disk
. rman target -1
. set the control file auto backup on -2
. Back up database plus archiving format -3
. checking the backup 1-
;list backup 2-
; list backup of database summary -3

: Database level 0 Incremental Back up on disk

/ rman target -
; '> backup incremental level 0 database format = '<loc -
; '>backup incremental level 1 database format='<loc -
