Oracle Database 11g: RMAN Backup & Recovery

Description

All of the data within a database installation is at risk unless one has designed, tested and implemented a robust backup and recovery strategy. The objective of this training module is to assist you in doing just that. Furthermore, when a major failure occurs, a variety of recovery and troubleshooting techniques must be employed. The focus of this course is the Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN) tool. Additional facilities covered include the Data Recovery Advisor, Redo Log File Size Advisor and MTTR Advisor. It is tempting to short-cut appropriate backup procedures if they perform poorly, so special attention is giving to performance optimization.

This textbook can be used for advanced self-study, or for instructor-led training in both in-class or virtual-class environments. Textbooks can also be used for ongoing reference long after the course is completed.

Audience

The primary target audiences for this course are: Database administrators, Web server administrators, System administrators, Implementation specialists, Data center support engineers, Senior application designers and developers

Certification

This course along with its prerequisites cover information necessary to complete the certification test EXAM #1Z1-053 ORACLE DATABASE 11g: ADMINISTRATION II.

Prerequisites

Many students taking this course have familiarity with system administration and administration of other non-Oracle databases, and this is helpful though not mandatory. Specific course prerequisites for this course are these Sideris titles:
• ORACLE DATABASE 11G R2: SQL FUNDAMENTALS – COMPLETE LIBRARY
• ORACLE DATABASE 11G R2: PL/SQL FUNDAMENTALS – COMPLETE LIBRARY
• ORACLE DATABASE 11G R2: ADMINISTRATION I

Suggested Next Courses

Administrators may wish to proceed onto more focused and specialized courses with these modules:
• ORACLE DATABASE 11G R2: GRID INFRASTRUCTURE & ASM
• ORACLE DATABASE 11G R2: PERFORMANCE TUNING
• ORACLE DATABASE 11G R2: SQL TUNING
• ORACLE DATABASE 11G R2: ENCRYPTION & ADVANCED DATA SECURITY
• ORACLE ENTERPRISE MANAGER 11G R2: GRID CONTROL

Instructor-Led Training (ILT) / Live Virtual Training Schedule

This textbook may be used as one module within a Sideris courseware kit entitled ORACLE DATABASE 11G R2: ADMINISTRATION II. When delivered in this format as an instructor-led training (ILT) or live virtual training session, the suggested presentation length of all modules included in this kit is 5 days. The sequence in which the modules should be considered is:
• ORACLE DATABASE 11G R2: ADVANCED DATABASE ADMINISTRATION
• ORACLE DATABASE 11G R2: RESOURCE MANAGER & SCHEDULER
• ORACLE DATABASE 11G R2: RMAN BACKUP & RECOVERY

In the interest of completing all of the material within the allotted time one may consider omitting certain workshop exercises or presenting selected sections in an accelerated manner.

Objectives

The objective of this training module is to assist you in designing, testing and implementing a robust backup and recovery strategy. Subjects include:
• User-managed and automatically managed backup strategies and database recovery operations using RMAN and other database facilities.
• Database instance recovery, tuning checkpoints, the Redo Log File Size Advisor and the MTTR Advisor.
• User-managed recovery scenarios, including recovery from temporary, read-only and index tablespaces.
• Automatically managed backup strategies and database recovery operations using RMAN and other database facilities. Complete and incomplete media recovery, including database point-in-time recovery and tablespace point-in-time recovery.
• Build upon basic RMAN capabilities with a centralized recovery catalog. Deploy standardized and consistent backup and recovery procedures throughout the enterprise by means of dynamic stored scripts and variable substitution.
• Optimizing backups for faster performance and parallelization of operations, employing compression algorithms and other strategies for optimum efficiency.
• Data preservation through archival backups.
• Duplicate databases for regulatory compliance, Real Application Testing database replay, test configuration and other purposes.
• Detecting and handling failures and corruption, including the use of RMAN block recovery and the Data Recovery Advisor.
