First, sorry for my english

My question is about my backup settings

the idea is

a complete weekly backup (compressed backupset level 0)
a daily (comulative) incremental backup (same, level 1)
a hourly (differential) incremental backup (level1)



could you please tell me if the following examples will fit my needs,
thanks to you all




using crontab:
# m h dom mon dow user      command
55 4 * * 7        oracle    /usr/local/oracle/scripts/weekly.sh &> /usr/local/oracle/scripts/weekly.log
05 6 * * *        oracle    /usr/local/oracle/scripts/daily.sh &> /usr/local/oracle/scripts/daily.log
35 * * * *        oracle    /usr/local/oracle/scripts/hourly.sh &> /usr/local/oracle/scripts/hourly.log



for script like:
# /usr/local/oracle/scripts/weekly.sh
rman @/usr/local/oracle/scripts/weekly_full.rman LOG /usr/local/oracle/scripts/weekly_full.rman.log

# /usr/local/oracle/scripts/daily.sh
rman @/usr/local/oracle/scripts/daily_comulative.rman LOG /usr/local/oracle/scripts/daily_comulative.rman.log

Since you did not specify your needs, your question remains unanswered.

Do you have documented & tested Recovery Procedures?

Hourly backup! Why?

It's for a internet card game server, a committent request :\




The Query can be:


I'm not sure that the "hourly differential backup" is the one who increase compared with the "incremental backup" or the "daily cumulative backup"



Another dubt:
the scripts above generate these files:
-rw------- 1 oracle oinstall  12M 2008-07-08 17:28 block_tracking.dbf

-rw------- 1 oracle oinstall  96K 2008-07-08 15:44 weekly_spfile_SALES_t659547855_s123_p1


I can see the files inherent to the backup twice. why's that?
( for example 2 weekly_database_SALES_*)

More than this, I can see that the second hourly backup of the archivelogs is very small (in size) while the first is not, and this is ok. I expect this to happen for the second file of database backup. And this is not happening...

This makes me doubt about the procedure i'm following and that I did something wrong about, for example, the hourly incremental backup or the daily backup.

I'm reading several pages of documentation but the troubles still remain Confused
Thanks for the answers

Sorry for my insistance but i really would like to understand and be sure to create incremental backups of a specific backup.

the instruction "FOR RECOVER OF TAG "WEEKLY_DATABASE" should be useful to my purpose but I really can't find an example suitable to my case.

An application would be:

#*** Daily comulative database backup
BACKUP
CHECK LOGICAL
INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1
CUMULATIVE
FOR RECOVER OF TAG 'WEEKLY_DATABASE'
TAG 'DAILY_COMULATIVE_DATABASE'
DEVICE TYPE DISK
FORMAT '/srv/oradata/backups/daily_comulative_database_%d_t%t_s%s_p%p'
AS COMPRESSED BACKUPSET
DATABASE;


Clearly an incremental cumulative backup of a specific weekly backup. But after this, is it possible to do an incremental differential hourly backup froma a daily cumulative backup?

Maybe I'm doing this too much complicated and there's another suitable solution. A small hint would be really helpful and appreciated! Thanks in advance.
