Database Backups Oracle Recovery through RMAN --------------------DB Backups Part 2

Here is the recovery from RMAN Side. it is as simple as from RMAN side now the big deal how we are going to work with this tool using backup software's, as we all know any integrated backup works through a API to backup in a flexible method.

So when ever we are going deal with any Specific backup we need to know few use full parameters like control file, catalogue, sfile, restore , recover, database, mount, open ,sysadm, etc, etc.

Database Backups Series - Part 1

Most challenging area for any backup tool administrator is Database backups.
Here we are going to discuss most of the database backups like oracle, sql,db2,sap,exchange  starting with oracle I am going to post my understandings on DB backups .

Example of simple rman cold backup in oracle DB:

SQL> CONNECT sys AS SYSDBA

SQL> STARTUP MOUNT;
ORACLE instance started.
Total System Global Area  1.007E+09 bytes
Fixed Size                    65484 bytes
Variable Size              86917120 bytes
Database Buffers          919568384 bytes
Redo Buffers                  73728 bytes
Database mounted.
