Hello All,
I want to know if it is supported to restore backup sets orginally made with oracle rman and libobk to disk with bprestore -- i.e. without any oracle involvement.
I have been trying with bprestore, using type 4 for oracle backups and a rename file to put the backups in a particular place on disk. with this method i keep getting the following errors in the progress log
11:33:58 (3152970.006) Status of restore from copy 1 of image created 01/14/14 20:09:32 = cannot connect on socket
11:33:58 (3152970.006) The following files/folders were not restored:
11:33:58 (3152970.006) UTF - /DLYINClvl1_20140114_db_HRMIR_37_1_836856519
and eventually those end with
10:47:33 INF - Server status = 2801
10:47:33 (3152964.xxx) INF - Status = Oracle policy restore error.
another way to look at the problem would be "How can i restore the backups sets if all oracle stuff (control files, rman catalog, etc.) have been destroyed outside of the data in NBU". I do have the control files , etc. backed up through rman to nbu. but if i lose everything on the server side and i have to rely on those rman sbt backupsets, how do i do a restore ?
so
- can i restore oracle rman sbt backup sets directly to disk with bprestore?
- can i restore oracle rman sbt backup sets without a database control file?
