    rman backing up standby DB

    All:

    If you see below I am using rman to connect to stdby db but rman thinks it is connected to primary db.


    From tnsnames.ora

    STDBY =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.0.3.7)(PORT = 1521))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    (SERVICE_NAME = stdby)
    )
    )


    $ rman target sys/sys@stdby CATALOG rman/rman@CATalog

    connected to target database: PRI (DBID=615014014)
    connected to recovery catalog database

    As you can this connects me to my primary database. Is it possible to use
    rman to backup a standby DB.

    Cool OK Maguey

    DUH! You are OK, the db name and dbid are the SAME as the primary.

    PS:
    To be more sure, just type:

    rman target / CATALOG rman/rman@CATalog
    .

    So are you saying that I can't use RMAN to backup the standby database? If this is a case, how does one backup the standy by database?

    In order to backup a database with rman, the database either needs to be mounted or open. So if a standby is actie, then it is mounted, hence it should work. Although if you really want to know whether or not it works, you should try to restore that backup elsewhere.

    Cool Registered or not registered, that is the question

    If primary is registered, then standby is also registered.
    If primary is NOT registered, then you need to register the primary.
