 Dear friends ,

I have two Questions regarding RMAN :

1) I have to run RMAN script in my Oracle10g based Production server . Every night I take RMAN backup into my storage . Now My question is :
Is it possible to take my database 7 days ago using my lastday backup of RMAN ? i,e, Can RMAN take my database before 6/7 days ago , where my last RMAN backup is taken yesterday ?

2)

My 2nd question is :

In nomount stage when I m going to take RMAN level0 backup using follwoing script :

run
{
allocate channel t1 type disk;
backup incremental level 0
format 'F:\rman_backup\bak_%s_%T_level0.bak'
database include current controlfile plus archivelog;
}

It shows the following error :


using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
allocated channel: t1
channel t1: sid=156 devtype=DISK


Starting backup at 22-APR-08
released channel: t1
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of backup plus archivelog command at 04/22/2008 14:55:59
RMAN-06059: expected archived log not found, lost of archived log compromises recoverability
ORA-19625: error identifying file C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\FLASH_RECOVERY_AREA\TESTDB\ARCHIVELOG\2008_04_22\O1_MF_1_1_40V98OWS_.ARC
ORA-27041: unable to open file
OSD-04002: unable to open file
O/S-Error: (OS 3) The system cannot find the path specified.

Here I dont understand why it searches for O1_MF_1_1_40V98OWS_.ARC archive log ? I think, I delete it in my absent mind . Plz help me in this moment how can I run level 0 backup now ?

Waiting for ur reply .. ...

Hi,
i did't get your first question ? what you mean in that ? and tell me what is your requirement ?

In the second one your archive log is missing may be you accidently deleted it.
you crosscheck the archivelogs and try to take the backup again

regards
Gopu

Answer of your first question.

RMAN can't take backup of database before 7 days ago. If you took backup using RMAN before 7 days and store in the tape media or storage then you can take same backup in the tape. How RMAN identified this backup it depends upon RETENTION POLICY of RMAN.

Hi,

RMAN cant take backup of a database before 7 days agae ? why ?
I think it depends on the retention ploicy of RMAN.If i increase the policy to 14 days, then it will take the backup ?
