Testing the Backup Script It is recommend that you run the script manually, to check for errors, bcfore scheduling it. Your manuał run of the script will start day one of the strategy, creating an incremental level 0 image copy of all datafiles.

To test the backup script:

1.    Log in to the databasc host as a user who is a member of the OSBACKUPDB A opcrating system group (typically the backupdba group).

2.    In a command window, enter the fol łowi ng command: full-script-path

where full-SCript-path is the fuli path and file name of the script you crcated in Task 2.

For example. if your script is in the filc /u01/app/oraclc/rman/daily_backup.sh, then enter this command:

/uOl/app/oracie/rman/daily_backup.sh

The script starts RMAN. which starts the backup. The output from RMAN includcs waming messages similar to the following:

no copy of datafile no copy of datafile

1    found to recover

2    found to recover

no parent backup or copy of datafile 1 found no parent backup or copy of datafile 2 found

Thcsc messages arc normal for the first run of the script.
