RMAN : Crear un respaldo consistente y un RESTORE POINT todo a la vez

Una característica que tiene RMAN en 11g es que tienes la posibilidad de crear un punto de restauración en el mismo respaldo, este método es muy útil, sobre todo cuando vas a hacer una actualización importante en tu Base de Datos y tienes que crear un respaldo antes, este es el mejor método desde mi punto de vista.

Lo primero , es que verifico que no hay un punto de restauración para mi base de datos

TESTDB> set linesize 121
TESTDB> col name format a15
TESTDB> col time format a32

TESTDB> SELECT name, scn, time, database_incarnation#, guarantee_flashback_database, storage_size
  2  FROM gv$restore_point;

no rows selected

Ahora lo que hago es que corro un respaldo con la opción de KEEP UNTIL y RESTORE POINT

RMAN> RUN
2>  {
3> BACKUP AS COMPRESSED BACKUPSET
4>  INCREMENTAL LEVEL = 0
5>  DATABASE
6>   FORMAT '/mount/copy01/TESTDB/oracle/TESTDB/incr/%d_HOT_%M%D%Y_%p_%s' 
7>   TAG TESTDB
8>   KEEP UNTIL TIME 'SYSDATE + 5'
9>   RESTORE POINT BEFORE_UPGRADE;
10> }

Para verificar que se creo el punto de restauración corro los siguientes comandos en RMAN

RMAN> list restore point all;

SCN              RSP Time             Type       Time                 Name
---------------- -------------------- ---------- -------------------- ----
234073                                           Oct 25 2012 08:41:58 BEFORE_UPGRADE

y en Sqlplus

SQL> SELECT name, scn, time, database_incarnation#, guarantee_flashback_database, storage_size
  2  FROM gv$restore_point;

NAME         SCN TIME        DATABASE_INCARNATION# GUA STORAGE_SIZE
--------------- ---------- -------------------------------- --------------------- --- ------------
BEFORE_UPGRADE     234073 25-OCT-12 08.41.58.000000000 AM   1 NO   0

Si te fijas, el SCN es el mismo , 234073,  que es lo que andamos buscando. En dado caso de que tengas que hacer un rollback, a este SCN seria al que regresarias.

Este respaldo de igual manera lo podemos utilizar para clonar una base de datos hasta el punto de restauración que creaste con la opción TO RESTORE POINT, no puse toda la salida, pero si te fijas abajo, esta recuperando hasta el punto de restauración que creamos en la Base de Datos TESTDB
