Performing block-level recovery with Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN)
Suggest changes
PDFs
You can configure SnapManager to catalog its backups in Recovery Manager (RMAN), an Oracle tool, so that you can perform a block-level recovery using RMAN. RMAN can use either the database's control files or a separate recovery catalog database as its repository.
-
To perform a full offline backup using SnapManager, enter the following command:
smo backup create -offline-full-profileprofile_name-labelbackup_label_name-verbose
Where:
-
profile_name is the name of the profile associated with the backup
-
backup_label_name is the name of the backup label
-
smo backup create -offline -full -profile profile_monthly
-label full_backup -verbose

To verify the database and determine if any blocks are corrupted, enter the following command:
dbv FILE=user01.dbf
The following output shows that two pages are corrupt:
