Hi friends,

I have a 9i DB 9.2.0.2 running on a Sun Sparc, Solaris 9. I made cold backup once and made a hot backup of the DB after certain DDL issued on a table. The DB is running in archive log mode. The archive log files are getting accumulated in the disk.

How to make a backup of the DB till the current stage and remove Archived logs?

Is there any method to check the back up is safe/uncorrupted to recover the DB in case of crash in future?

In case, The DB is crashed then how to recover the DB with Archive log.

thanks

iyappan

Hi,

You've got too many questions to address in one post. However, I will answer them briefly:

1. Do an RMAN "BACKUP (archivelog all delete input)". This will delete already backed-up archivelog files from disk.

2. RMAN> RESTORE DATABASE VALIDATE;

3. Do an RMAN "RESTORE DATABASE" followed by a "RECOVER DATABASE". The recovery part will apply the logs to the DB.

Best regards.

Frank

Hi Mr.Frank,

May I get an elaborate answer for your first solution i.e., Do an RMAN "BACKUP ( archivelog all delete input )".
I haven`t ever used RMAN utility. Please help me,

thanks
