Complete Recovery With User-managed Backup with Examples

BACKUP AND RECOVERY SCENARIOS
Complete Recovery With User-managed Backup.
you can perform complete recovery in the below 5 situations.

User Managed Recovery Scenarios of complete recovery.
   1. Complete Closed Database Recovery. System datafile is missing(with recent backups)                                                                                                   
   2. Complete Open Database Recovery. Non system datafile is missing(with backups).                                                                                                       
   3. Complete Open Database Recovery (when the database is initially closed). Non system datafile is missing(with backups)                       
  4. Recovery of a Missing Datafile that has no backups.(Disk corrupted and no backups available)
 restriction: datafile should be created after controlfile creation.(i.e,controlfile creation time is prior than datafile creation time).
you cannot recover or create datafile without backup in the following situation:
SQL> select CONTROLFILE_CREATED from v$database;
CONTROLFILE_CREATED
--------------------
07-MAY-2010 01:23:43  
SQL> select creation_time,name from v$datafile;
CREATION_TIME        NAME
-------------------- ---------------------------------------------
30-JUN-2005 19:10:11 /u01/app/oracle/oradata/testdb/system01.dbf
30-JUN-2005 19:55:01 /u01/app/oracle/oradata/testdb/undotbs01.dbf
30-JUN-2005 19:10:27 /u01/app/oracle/oradata/testdb/sysaux01.dbf
30-JUN-2005 19:10:40 /u01/app/oracle/oradata/testdb/users01.dbf 

  5. Restore and Recovery of a Datafile to a different location.(Disk corrupted having recent backup and recover the datafile in new Disk location).

  User Managed Recovery Scenarios
User managed recovery scenarios do require that the database is in archive log mode, and that backups of all datafiles and control files are made with the tablespaces set to begin backup, if the database is open while the copy is made. At the end of the copy of each tablespace it is necessaire to take it out of backup mode. Alternatively complete backups can be made with the database shutdown. Online redologs can be optionally backed up.
Files to be copied:
select name from v$datafile;
select member from v$logfile; # optional
select name from v$controlfile;
1.Complete Closed Database Recovery. System tablespace is missing
   If the system tablespace is missing or corrupted the database cannot be started up
   so a complete closed database recovery must be performed.
   Pre requisites: A closed or open database backup and archived logs.
        1. Use OS commands to restore the missing or corrupted system datafile to its original location from recent backup, ie:
           cp -p /user/backup/uman/system01.dbf  /user/oradata/u01/dbtst/system01.dbf
        2. startup mount;
        3. recover datafile 1;
        4. alter database open;

4.Recovery of a Missing Datafile that has no backups (database is open). 
If a non system datafile that was not backed up since the last backup is missing,

recovery can be performed if all archived logs since the creation
of the missing datafile exist.
Pre requisites: All relevant archived logs.
1. alter tablespace offline immediate;
2. alter database create datafile '/user/oradata/u01/dbtst/newdata01.dbf';
3. recover tablespace ;
4. alter tablespace online;

If the create datafile command needs to be executed to place the datafile on a location different than the original use:
alter database create datafile '/user/oradata/u01/dbtst/newdata01.dbf' as
'/user/oradata/u02/dbtst/newdata01.dbf'

restriction: datafile should be created after controlfile creation.(i.e,controlfile creation time is prior than datafile creation time).

5.Restore and Recovery of a Datafile to a different location.
If a non system datafile is missing and its original location not available, restore can be made to a different location and recovery performed.
Pre requisites: All relevant archived logs.

1. Use OS commands to restore the missing or corrupted datafile to the new location, ie:
cp -p /user/backup/uman/user01.dbf /user/oradata/u02/dbtst/user01.dbf
2. alter tablespace offline immediate;
3. alter tablespace rename datafile
'/user/oradata/u01/dbtst/user01.dbf' to '/user/oradata/u02/dbtst/user01.dbf';
4. recover tablespace ;
5. alter tablespace online;
