RMAN is the beauty of Oracle Backup and Recovery architecture, has changed completely the way backups work and unlimited so many possibilities. We saw so many enhancements by Oracle with each version from Compression of Backups to Handling block corruption. And, 12c is no exception for that.
In this post, I would like to discuss about new enhancements made to RMAN as part of changes influenced by the Oracle Database Architecture like Multitenant Architecture.
Let's start with Multitenant Architecture, Please refer to my blog post to know more about it.

Recover one of the PDBs System Datafile
I have deliberately removed system datafile for testing the recovery of a pluggable database 'PDB'. Below errors occur when trying to make a connection to PDB and "Checker run found 1 new persistent data failures" can be seen in the alert log

In this post, I would like to discuss about new enhancements made to RMAN as part of changes influenced by the Oracle Database Architecture like Multitenant Architecture.
Let's start with Multitenant Architecture, Please refer to my blog post to know more about it.
Backup and Recovery of Pluggable Databases
- "SYSBACKUP" is the new privilege or user that has been introduced in 12c to perform RMAN Backup and Recovery Operations, no more SYSDBA privilege is required for a specific user to perform Backup operations. "SYSBACKUP" has two roles assigned "SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE" and "HS_ADMIN_SELECT_ROLE"
- "BACKUP PLUGGABLE DATABASE" is the new command introduced to backup PDBs, it works the same way as "BACKUP DATABASE". It backs up all specified PDB Database files, Control File, and SPFILE of the CDB
- "BACKUP DATABASE" command can also be used when we make a direct connection to PDB instead of ROOT Container. When we supply "RMAN TARGET /", Oracle makes connection to ROOT Container with SYS user. As we knew, It requires an exclusive service name to establish a connection to a PDB via SQL* Net services such as TNS based applications or Oracle Protocol Adapters or TCP/IP.
- "BACKUP DATABASE ROOT;" backs up the ROOT Container. "BACKUP DATABASE 'PDB$SEED';" backs up SEED Database
- To backup Multiple PDBs, "BACKUP PLUGGABLE DATABASE <PDB1>,<PDB2>.....;"
- Backing up TABLESPACES and DATAFILES in a CDB environment is similar to Non CDB. "BACKUP TABLESPACE and BACKUP DATAFILE" commands are used to accomplish the task, we just need to make sure that we have connected to the specific Container to which the tablespace or datafile belongs to
- "RESTORE PLUGGABLE DATABASE" and "RECOVER PLUGGABLE DATABASE" are used to perform a Complete/Incomplete PDB Recovery [or] "RESTORE DATABASE" and "RECOVER DATABASE" are used when connected to PDB
- "RESTORE TABLESPACE" and "RECOVER TABLESPACE" or "RESTORE DATAFILE" and "RECOVER DATAFILE" can also be used to perform a specific tablespace or datafile recovery of a PDB
- Cross platform Transport of a Non CDB or Pluggable Database (PDB) or the whole CDB is possible by means of RMAN Cross platform BACKUP and RESTORE, "BACKUP FOR TRANSPORT PLUGGABLE DATABASE PDB;" or "BACKUP TO PLATFORM "platforn name" DATABASE;" is used to backup the whole database to transport to a different platform of same endian format(Big, little etc...). Please check V$TRANSPORTABLE_PLATFORM for more information. The PDB or the Whole CDB to be transported for backup must be in "OPEN READ ONLY" mode. Restoring the backup of Cross platform Database is similar to Standard Restore
- Duplicating a Pluggable Database and the Whole Container Database is supported by RMAN by adding PLUGGABLE DATABASE Clause to the DUPLICATE Syntax. Example demonstrated in this post is a Container to Container Database Duplication in which Oracle restores the ROOT, SEED, and specified PDB to the AUXILIARY DESTINATION. Please refer to the example for more information
Note : "BACKUP DATABASE;" on root container backs up the whole container includes SEED Container and PDBs
