Backup3G/DA-RMAN/User Guide/Searching and Restoring Oracle RMAN Backups

From Documentation

Backup3G’s Recovery module lists all the current backups in the media database, including Oracle/RMAN backups.

Searching Oracle/RMAN Backups

You use the backup3G Recovery module to search for Oracle/RMAN backups. You can open a media set to view its contents. However, you must restore the data using Oracle RMAN on the Oracle host.

To launch the Oracle Recovery Manager

1. From the command line, login as the Oracle user.
2. Run RMAN with the appropriate connect strings:

   rman target /

   rman target <user>/<password>

   rman target <user>/<password>@<service>

   rman target <user>/<password>@<service> catalog <user>/<password>@<service>

Selecting Oracle Backups to Restore

Caution

Don’t restore backups to an online database. Only restore backups to a mounted database otherwise you will get an error and the restore will fail.

Specifying the Tape Drive
To specify the tape drive or pool to use for the recovery, you must allocate an RMAN channel, and set the DRIVE environment variable as follows:

allocate channel 'backup3G' device type sbt parms="ENV=(DRIVE=XXXX)";

where XXXX is the name of the drive or drive-pool to use. Note that drive-pool names always end in "@".
