Maintaining RMAN Backups

 

Whatever backups you take using RMAN, it store all the backup information in the database Control File and also in the Recovery Catalog if you are using RMAN with Catalog.

To maintain the information in up-to-date state we might need the following commands

To register manual backups

Suppose we have taken a backup of a particular datafile outside of RMAN through O/s commands. Whatever backup you take outside of RMAN, RMAN will not know about it and it will not consider this backup exist until we register the backup in RMAN catalog.

For example suppose we have taken a backup of users01.dbf datafile on /u02/oracle/d2/users01.dbf' directory and now we want to register this backup in RMAN repository

To register give the following command

RMAN> catalog datafilecopy '/u02/oracle/d2/users01.dbf';

 register manual backups in rman

Once you issue the above command then RMAN will enter the information about this backup in the catalog and will recover from it in future recovery operation if needed.

Crosscheck Command in RMAN

Crosscheck is a very useful command in RMAN which automatically checks all the backups whose information is store in the RMAN repository and whether they are available on the disk or not.

If a corresponding backup is not available on the disk then Crosscheck command marks the backup as Expired otherwise it marks it as Available

To check status of all backupsets we can give the following command

RMAN> crosscheck backup;

crosscheck backup

To check status of all image copies we can give the following command

RMAN> crosscheck copy;

crosscheck copy

To know the status of Expired and Available backupsets give the following command

RMAN> list expired backup;

list expired backup

To know the status unavailable image copy copy give the following command

RMAN> list expired copy;

list expired copy

To delete the expired backup sets we can give the following command

RMAN> delete expired backup

delete expired backup

To delete the expired image copies we can give the following command

RMAN> delete expired copy;

delete expired copy
