Topic: 1z0-083 topic 1 question 110

Which three are true about a whole database backup? (Choose three.)

A.
It can consist of either backup sets or image copies.
B.
It is the only possible backup type for a database in NOARCHIVELOG mode.
C.
It can be consistent.
D.
It can be created only by using RMAN.
E.
It can be inconsistent.
F.
It always includes all data files, the current control file, the server parameter file, and archived redo logs.

Re: 1z0-083 topic 1 question 110

A, C, E
Regarding B : If the database is in noarchivelog mode valid backups are:
1. whole consistent backup
2. incremental consistent backup

Re: 1z0-083 topic 1 question 110

Alternative F is wrong due to the terms "always" and "archived redo logs". The database in non-archive mode does not need the redo logs backup due to the need for the database to be in mount mode, consequently the database is consistent.

While backing up a database that is closed, you need not back up the archived log files because the database is in a consistent state at the time of backup. Therefore, no media recovery is required if you restore the database from this backup.

Re: 1z0-083 topic 1 question 110

F- wrong. redo log missing
Perform a Whole Database Backup
You can use RMAN to perform a whole backup of your database. A whole backup includes the complete contents of all data files of the database, plus the control file, archived redo log files, and server parameter file.

Re: 1z0-083 topic 1 question 110

F:
a whole backup  can be closed (datafiles, controlfile) or open (datafile,s controlfile, archived redologs).. so "always" is wrong

Re: 1z0-083 topic 1 question 110

I think ACE because database may not generate archived redo logs

Re: 1z0-083 topic 1 question 110

what is wrong with F?
Question asks abot whole backup.

Re: 1z0-083 topic 1 question 110

Because "the server parameter file" is not a database file, only a "configuration file".

Re: 1z0-083 topic 1 question 110

"A whole backup includes the complete contents of all data files of the database, plus the control file, archived redo log files, and server parameter file. You can perform a complete recovery with the files from a whole backup."

https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/tutorial-perf-back/index.html?opt-release-19c

The problem could be with option F is, the word "Always" and "archive redo logs".  This can be true only when we have taken whole database backup using the command "BACKUP DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG;"

So if you check the above-mentioned link, the Whole Database Backup is considered when using the command "BACKUP DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG;" therefore Answer should be A,C,F

Re: 1z0-083 topic 1 question 110

I say ACE.

Re: 1z0-083 topic 1 question 110

Agree with Aldrid - BCE.
B because in case case of NOARCHIVELOG you have to CLOSE the DB (for RMAN open MOUNT) and then you have to take backup of WHOLE database.

Re: 1z0-083 topic 1 question 110

... and again Aldrid was right :-)
To reduce backup sizes for NOARCHIVELOG databases. Instead of making a whole database backup every time, you can make incremental backups.

so ACE

Re: 1z0-083 topic 1 question 110

You can backup offline tablespace in noarchivemode... but question about database backup.. not tablespace... so you can do only whole DB backup in noarchive mode.

Re: 1z0-083 topic 1 question 110

I don't understand, your argument seem conflict. Question is about whole database backup, not limited to only database backup.

Re: 1z0-083 topic 1 question 110

If it can be inconsistent (option E), then it has to be done with the Database open and that is only possible in ARCHIVELOG mode, therefore option B is False.
correct answers ACE.

Re: 1z0-083 topic 1 question 110

Change to ACE
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14192/bkup004.htm

It is possible to make Incremental Backup In NOARCHIVELOG

Re: 1z0-083 topic 1 question 110

I think ACE
