Backup and restore example with password

encryption in Oracle
Following are the things for running the RMAN Backup with Password Protected:

1. Set the configuration of RMAN to use Encryption:

-- Check the configuration


RMAN> Show all;
-- Set the Configuration to ON value for using encryption password
RMAN> CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE ON;
old RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE OFF;
new RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE ON;
new RMAN configuration parameters are successfully stored

2. Set the Password before executing RMAN backup.


I set the password as “PASSWORD1” value in the below example.

-- Set the Encryption


RMAN> set encryption on identified by password1 only;
executing command: SET encryption

3. Run the backup of the database.

run {
allocate channel ch00 type disk;
backup format 'C:\rman\full_db_%t_%sp%p' filesperset 10 database;
release channel ch00;
allocate channel ch00 type disk;
backup format 'C:\rman\cntrl_%s_%p_%t' CURRENT CONTROLFILE;
backup format 'C:\rman\spfile_%s_%p_%t' spfile;
release channel ch00;
}

allocated channel: ch00

Steps of Restore RMAN backup with Password

1. Set the Decryption password for the database.


Note: Password should be same as you set during taking password. In My Case its value is
“PASSWORD1”

RMAN> set decryption identified by password1;


executing command: SET decryption

2. Run the Restore command:

-- Open database in nomount and restore control file


RMAN> restore controlfile from 'C:\ORACLE\DBHOMEXE\DATABASE\C-2901846628-20200916-
03';

Starting restore at 16-SEP-20


using channel ORA_DISK_1
channel ORA_DISK_1: restoring control file
channel ORA_DISK_1: restore complete, elapsed time: 00:00:01
output file name=C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\XE\CONTROL01.CTL
output file name=C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\XE\CONTROL02.CTL
Finished restore at 16-SEP-20

Error without using decryption of Password during restore

RMAN> restore controlfile from 'C:\ORACLE\DBHOMEXE\DATABASE\C-2901846628-20200916-


03';

Starting restore at 16-SEP-20
