rman all backup are expired

The status of backup are available if rman not connected to the catalog but controlfile.
Is it possible to synchronize them?

Thanks

Regards

A status of EXPIRED means that the files are not in the location that your RMAN repository (either the controlfile or a catalog database) expects them to be in.

If you are doing backups to disk, for example, and then later move those backup files to tape and remove them, then Oracle can't find them.

What are you doing to the backup files after your backups complete ?  Are you moving them somewhere else ?

no only on tape for 1 month and the backup status is expired for all days in July if I connect to catalog rman but the status are avalaible if I list backup without controlfile. Thanks

I don't understand what you mean by "List backup without controlfile" - can you clarify that please ?

Have you ever tested your restore processes before ?  There's an old saying "Your backups are only as good as the last time you tested the restore"

I have to restore a database size 3tb on another server, I can't copy backup on disk :



If I connect without catalog rman target / the backup piece is AVAILABLE :

It appears you're using Netbackup as your backup tool.  I'm sorry,  but I don't have any experience with that tool (nor backup directly to tape, I'm afraid).

I'm not going to be able to offer you much more help here.

My suggestion at this point, if no other experts can offer you any insight, would be to contact your backup solution vendor (Netbackup) for assistance.

ok thanks

Hi,
Are you trying to access backups that have been made from another host?
Then you probably have to set the NB_CLIENT to that host.
That can be a reason why backups are not found.

Are you trying to access backups that have been made from another host? --> yes
Then you probably have to set the NB_CLIENT to that host --> how?
I think crosscheck backup has expired backupset but I'm not sure.

Thanks

Hi,
Yes crosscheck has made them EXPIRED because they cannot be found.
You can set the NB_CLIENT withthe RMAN 'send' command such as in: http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/Veritas_Netbackup
Then crosscheck to see if it is available

Franck.

Hello,

Thanks I do it.  But do I have to configure bp.conf like its an redirect backup?

Regards

Usually only the nb_client is different and you can set it in the RMAN session

I do it  but if I try to restore ORA-27029: skgfrtrv: sbtrestore returned error
 ORA-19511: Error received from media manager layer, error text:
    Backup file <50qbd6pb_1_2> not found in NetBackup catalog
Thanks

Try to find it from Netbackup GUI so that you know if it's there and where

I don't know how I can do it.

Thanks the restore is running. Regards
