Restoring Read-Only Tablespaces

Once you back up a read-only tablespace, you don’t need to back it up again. However, you may want to periodically back up your read-only tablespaces so that in the event of a recovery, RMAN doesn’t have to retrieve a backup set that may be on tape and offsite. RMAN does not require any archived redo log files to restore and recover a read-only tablespace. Also, to recover a read-only tablespace you do not need to bring down the database. The steps are:

  1. Take the tablespace offline.

  2. Restore the tablespace or the appropriate datafiles.

  3. Bring the tablespace online. No recovery is necessary.

For example:

RMAN> sql 'alter tablespace old_rnd offline';

RMAN> restore tablespace old_rnd;

RMAN> sql 'alter tablespace old_rnd online';
