We can take a backup using image copy or in backup set. It is strongly

recommended to use RMAN backup sets to backup the database.

RMAN stores the backup in backup sets, which are nothing but whole bunch of
files which contains the backed-up data. Only RMAN understands the format of
these files. So, if you backup an Oracle DB using RMAN, only RMAN knows how
to read the backup and restore it.

Typically we’ll use “BACKUP AS BACKUPSET” to backup a database. So, to take a

full backup of the database without the archive logs, do the following.

RMAN> BACKUP AS BACKUPSET DATABASE

To take a full backup of the database with the archive logs, do the following:

RMAN> BACKUP AS BACKUPSET DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG;

You can also take a backup of only a specific table space. The following example
takes backup of only PRD01 tablespace.

RMAN> BACKUP AS BACKUPSET TABLESPACE PRD01;

The RMAN backup output will be something similar to the following:

RMAN> BACKUP AS BACKUPSET DATABASE

Starting backup at 10-AUG-13

piece handle=/backup/rman/ctl_c-758818131-20130808-00 comment=NONE

Finished Control File and SPFILE Autobackup at 10-AUG-13

Once the backup is completed, do an ls on the /backup/rman directory, you’ll now

see RMAN backup files.

$ ls -l /backup/rman
total 14588

-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 14585856 Aug 8 11:48 ctl_c-758818131-20130808-00

-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 327680 Aug 8 11:48 full_4dogpd0u_4237_1

Note: Once a backup is taken, to view all available database backups from RMAN,
you need to use “list” command that is shown further down in one of the
examples.

While this may be obvious, it is worth repeating again: Since we are taking
hotbackup, the Oracle database can be up and running. Make sure your Oracle
database is running before you execute any of the above RMAN backup
commands.

4. Assign Backup TAG Name for Quick Identification

If you are taking lot of backups, it will be easier to assign a tag to a particular
backup, which we’ll later use during Oracle recovery (or while using list command
to view it).

The following example assign a backup tag called

“WEEEKLY_PRD01_TBLS_BK_ONLY” to this particular backup.

RMAN> BACKUP AS BACKUPSET TAG 'WEEEKLY_PRD01_TBLS_BK_ONLY' TABLESPACE PRD01;

Starting backup at 10-AUG-13

using channel ORA_DISK_1

using channel ORA_DISK_2

channel ORA_DISK_1: starting full datafile backupset

channel ORA_DISK_1: specifying datafile(s) in backupset
input datafile fno=00002 name=/u03/oradata/devdb/PRD01_1.dbf

channel ORA_DISK_1: starting piece 1 at 10-AUG-13

channel ORA_DISK_1: finished piece 1 at 10-AUG-13
piece handle=/backup/rman/full_4fogpdb3_4239_1 tag=WEEEKLY_PRD01_TBLS_BK_ONLY co

channel ORA_DISK_1: backup set complete, elapsed time: 00:00:01

Finished backup at 10-AUG-13
Starting Control File and SPFILE Autobackup at 10-AUG-13

piece handle=/backup/rman/ctl_c-758818131-20130808-01 comment=NONE

Finished Control File and SPFILE Autobackup at 10-AUG-13

Once the backup is finished, if you view the files from rman directory, you’ll not
see the tag name here. Tag name is used only from RMAN repositories to view and
restore backups. So, now you see there are more files in this directory, as we’ve
taken couple of backups.

$ ls -l /backup/rman/
total 29176

-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 14585856 Aug 8 11:48 ctl_c-758818131-20130808-00

-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 14585856 Aug 8 11:54 ctl_c-758818131-20130808-01
-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 327680 Aug 8 11:48 full_4dogpd0u_4237_1

-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 327680 Aug 8 11:54 full_4fogpdb3_4239_1

5. Change Oracle RMAN Backup File Name Format

If you want the backup files itself will be in a specific format, you need to change
the format in the RMAN configuration as shown below. In this example, we’ve
appended the tag “full_devdb_bk_” prefix to all our backup files.

RMAN> CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT "/backup/rman/full_devdb_bk_%u

Now, let us take another backup with this modified configuration.

RMAN> BACKUP AS BACKUPSET TAG 'WEEEKLY_PRD01_TBLS_BK_ONLY' TABLESPACE PRD01;

Now when you view the RMAN files, you’ll see the new RMAN backup file has this
new file name format for the files. This is easier to identify certain information
about the backup just by looking at the file names.

$ ls -l /backup/rman/

total 43764
-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 14585856 Aug 8 11:48 ctl_c-758818131-20130808-00
-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 14585856 Aug 8 11:54 ctl_c-758818131-20130808-01

-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 14585856 Aug 8 11:56 ctl_c-758818131-20130808-02

-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 327680 Aug 8 11:48 full_4dogpd0u_4237_1
-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 327680 Aug 8 11:54 full_4fogpdb3_4239_1

-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 327680 Aug 8 11:55 full_devdb_bk_4hogpdef_4241_1

6. Compress a RMAN Backup

If you are taking a backup of a big database, you’ll notice that the RMAN backup
files are bigger (almost same size as the database itself).

So, for most situation, you should always tak ea compressed backup of the
database.

The following example take a compressed backup of the tablepsace PRD01.

RMAN> BACKUP AS COMPRESSED BACKUPSET TAG 'WEEEKLY_PRD01_TBLS_BK_ONLY' TABLESPACE

When you view the backup files from the file system level, you will not see any .gz
(or .zip, or .bz2) to indicate that the RMAN has taken a compressed backup. The
file naming convention will still follow the same as a non-compressed backup.

$ ls -l /backup/rman/
total 58352

-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 14585856 Aug 8 11:48 ctl_c-758818131-20130808-00

-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 14585856 Aug 8 11:54 ctl_c-758818131-20130808-01
-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 14585856 Aug 8 11:56 ctl_c-758818131-20130808-02

-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 14585856 Aug 8 11:59 ctl_c-758818131-20130808-03

-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 327680 Aug 8 11:48 full_4dogpd0u_4237_1
-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 327680 Aug 8 11:54 full_4fogpdb3_4239_1

-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 327680 Aug 8 11:55 full_devdb_bk_4hogpdef_4241_1

-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 127680 Aug 8 11:59 full_devdb_bk_4jogpdl0_4243_1

Note: The way to tell whether RMAN has take a compressed backup or not, it by
looking at the size, and by looking at the output of the RMAN “list” command
which is shown in one of the section below.

7. View all RMAN Backups

To view all the RMAN backups, execute “list backup summary” as shown below.

RMAN> LIST BACKUP SUMMARY;

using target database control file instead of recovery catalog

List of Backups
===============
Key TY LV S Device Type Completion Time #Pieces #Copies Compressed Tag

------- -- -- - ----------- --------------- ------- ------- ---------- ---

..
4215 B F A DISK 10-AUG-13 1 1 NO TAG201308

4216 B F A DISK 10-AUG-13 1 1 NO TAG201308

4217 B F A DISK 10-AUG-13 1 1 NO WEEEKLY_P
4218 B F A DISK 10-AUG-13 1 1 NO TAG201308
4219 B F A DISK 10-AUG-13 1 1 NO WEEEKLY_P

4220 B F A DISK 10-AUG-13 1 1 NO TAG201308

4221 B F A DISK 10-AUG-13 1 1 YES WEEEKLY_P

As you see above, it displays various information about the backups. In the above
output, it show 7 RMAN backups. The last column shows the “Tag” that we
specified when we took a backup. If we didn’t specify any TAG, RMAN creates a
default tag with the prefix “TAG” followed by some numbers. You can also see that
under the column “Compressed”, the last RMAN backup shows “YES”, which
indicates that out of all the 7 RMAN backups, only the last one was compressed.

Also, when the RMAN backup is running, if you want to see the proress, you can
query the V$RMAN_STATUS table from sql*plus as shown below.

SQL> SELECT OPERATION, STATUS, MBYTES_PROCESSED, START_TIME, END_TIME from V$RMA

OPERATION STATUS MBYTES_PROCESSED START

--------------------------------- ----------------------- ---------------- -----
CONTROL FILE AND SPFILE AUTOBACK COMPLETED 14 07-NO
RMAN COMPLETED 0 07-NO

RESTORE VALIDATE COMPLETED 0 07-NO

RMAN COMPLETED WITH ERRORS 0 07-NO
DELETE COMPLETED 0 08-NO
BACKUP COMPLETED 0 10-AU
CONTROL FILE AND SPFILE AUTOBACK COMPLETED 14 10-AU

RMAN COMPLETED WITH ERRORS 1832 10-AU

RMAN COMPLETED 0 10-AU
...

There you have it!. That is how you take an Oracle RMAN backup and sleep
peacefully.

database is running in archive mode, is it right?

@Anthony
It’s normal, you can use rman only if the database is working in archive log mode.
Connect to your db as sysdba with a client (sqlplus or sql developer or any other)
and lauch “archive log list”.
It will return some information, “Database log mode” will tell you if your database
works in archive log mode or no archive log.
Probably yours will work in no archive log, you can change it but you must create
a directory for archivelogs and tell the database to use that directory.

Charles Martel March 9, 2015, 3:52 pm

This was the best documentation on Rman to be found on the web. It’s
far more concise and useful than anything that I saw on the Oracle sites. Oracle –
if you read this- please take note of the practical nature of this man’s work.
