DHARAMDBA: RMAN USEFUL COMMANDS

Here I am introducing some very useful RMAN commands related to backup .

1. If you want to take backup of archivelogs and dont want backup set to be more than 50mb in size then.. It will create backup sets of size 50mb each. Whenever backupset size will go beyond 50mb then a new backupset will be created. Hence each backupset will have size 50mb only.

RMAN> backup maxsetsize 50m archivelog all;

2. If you want to skip some inaccessible ,offline or read only files from full database backup then here is the command.It will ignore inaccessible ,offline or read only files.

SQL> select file_name,file_id,online_status from dba_data_files;

3. If you want to start a RMAN backup job which should complete in specified time then you can use following command. Here i am specifying 1 minute for database backup job to complete. If job is not complete in 1 minute then it will be aborted.

4. In above command the oracle is putting performance impact on database in order to complete the backup job in given time. In following command Oracle is trying to complete the job in given time without affecting the database performance . Since Performance of database is prime here hence 1 min time is note enough to complete the job and aborted.

5. In following command Oracle will try to adjust database time taken to complete backup job according to rate of taking backup. If backup is going to take less time than specified then Oracle will automatically slowdown the backup speed in order to maximize performance.
