Database Restore after Server's storage crash
969789Oct 21 2012 — edited Oct 31 2012So after power failure storage crashed for good and the server is "close to death", no way services can be restored or anything. We have daily backup using symantec backup exec from the entire system. So we have the full storage restored to an exteral HD (where all the files for the DB are).
We got a new server and we try to replicate the oracle database on it. We are using the cold backup restore way with no luck, cause after all the steps at alter database open resetlogs; we get a consistency error. The recover says to use backup controlfile, the problem is there are none archivelogs in any of our backups.
Any suggestions?
We use:
Windows server 2003 R2
Oracle 11g
Thank you in advance for any insight.
