Recovering an AS3000 Oracle database using Flashbackup

Recovering the database with a backup control file and no online redo logs re-creates the database if all you have is a recent backup and all other files are lost. This method recovers only up to the time of the most recent database backup.

To recover an AS3000 Oracle database using Flashbackup

  1. Log into the Database Server as the oracle user.

  2. Change to the /opt/oracle/admin/MVF/ directory.

  3. To find out the tape label to use for the restore, type

    cat dbbackup.cfg.inventory

  4. To restore the files from the Flashback area, type the following:

    runrestore "name_of_returned_tape_label"

  5. To restore the control file and complete the database recovery, follow the appropriate procedures in Recovering with disk backups.
