In this post we will explore how to perform backup and restoration of full database of ORACLE 11G using
RMAN utility.
There might be so many tutorial on internet about RMAN Backup and restoration but here i have
simplified it so that one can understand and perform the task without any issue.
RMAN utilitiy can be use to perform FULL BACKUP, INCREMENTAL BACKUP etc
Now to perform FULL DATABASE BACKUP USING RMAN FOLLOW BELOW GIVEN STEPS.
First connect to RMAN console by issuing RMAN from OS console.
[oracle@oracle ~]$ rman
Recovery Manager: Release 11.2.0.1.0 Production on Wed Jan 7 17:57:12 2015

RMAN> connect target /
connected to target database: ZAHID (DBID=860604843)
Now configure RMAN parameter for backup location etc..
RMAN> CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
old RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
new RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
new RMAN configuration parameters are successfully stored
RMAN> CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO
/oracle/zahid_bkp/%F';
old RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO /oracle/archlog_zahid/%F';
new RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO /oracle/zahid_bkp/%F';
new RMAN configuration parameters are successfully stored
RMAN> configure channel device type disk format /oracle/zahid_bkp/%U';

new RMAN configuration parameters:

CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT /oracle/zahid_bkp/%U';
new RMAN configuration parameters are successfully stored
RMAN> CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO /oracle/zahid_bkp/snapcf_zahid.f';
old RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO /oracle/archlog_zahid/snapcf_zahid.f';
new RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO /oracle/zahid_bkp/snapcf_zahid.f';
new RMAN configuration parameters are successfully stored
Since all the parameter have set for backup. you can check if all the parameters have set properly or not.
RMAN> show all;
RMAN configuration parameters for database with db_unique_name ZAHID are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO /oracle/zahid_bkp/%F';
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET; # default
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT /oracle/zahid_bkp/%U';
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE OFF; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM AES128; # default
CONFIGURE COMPRESSION ALGORITHM BASIC AS OF RELEASE DEFAULT OPTIMIZE FOR LOAD TRUE ; #
default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO /oracle/zahid_bkp/snapcf_zahid.f';
whatever changes we have made for RMAN backup, they are getting reflected.
Now issue backup database command to perform backup.
RMAN> backup database plus archivelog;
