Hi everyone,

I am working on user managed backups.

I am still skeptical about what exactly happens when a datafile or database is placed in begin backup mode.

I know that excessive redo is generated and datafiles header is freezed to avoid SCN changing.

Can anyone tell me what exactly is written to the datafile.

Since i have to start a new thread i am posting the question again.

Please cooperate

thanx

Hi

Oracle will do a datafile checkpoint just when the tablespace is in hotbackup mode.While hotbackup is in progress Oracle locks the file headers so that SCN/checkpoint details are not written during the hot backup.
This is to ensure that Oracle knows from which time to apply redo logs when the hot backup is restored (ie. from the point of time that the file was placed in backup mode).

All the updates and inserts happen as normal ie changing the data blocks.

Thanks

Well, it depends on the situation.

first point is, what kind of backups you have ? User managed or RMAN

if you have user managed backups, then it depends on what file you lost.

for example : if you have lost datafile 4 for instance then you need to put the datafile in offline mode and go for restoration.

Restoration means : in user managed you need to simply restore using copy command, implies, copy the datafile 4 from backup location to target database location.

Then perform recovery in target database.

Recover datafile 4;

then bring the datafile online.

But let me know what is the scenario.

hope this helps

thanx
