Backing up a datafile

Steps

  1. Open a command shell.
  2. Log in to Oracle RMAN by using the Oracle user ID and password.
    The command prompt changes to an RMAN prompt.
  3. Connect to the Oracle database to back up.
  4. Back up the Oracle datafile by typing RMAN commands similar to the following commands:

    run {
    configure controlfile autobackup on;
    allocate channel c1 type sbt\
    PARMS="SBT_LIBRARY=install-dir/lib/libobk_avamar.so"\
    format '%d_%U';
    set controlfile autobackup format for device type sbt\
    to "CONTROLFILE.%F";
    send '"--flagfile=/oracle/my-avtar-flags.txt"\
    "--taskfile=/oracle/taskfile.txt"\
    "--bindir=install-dir/bin"';
    backup datafile "MyFile.dbf";
    release channel c1;
    }

    where:
    • install-dir is the base installation directory for the platform. For example, specify /usr/local/avamar on Linux,/opt/AVMRclnt on Solaris, C:\Progra~1\avs\bin on Windows, and so forth.
    • MyFile.dbf is the Oracle datafile to back up.
