Update(06-March-2018)
Once after I built the Windows Instance from Linux Backups, I have started a thread with community.oracle.com, expecting answers for few concerns. Below, please have a look at the thread
jgarry states, as the redo logs are not applied, I am risking data loss. Now, I don’t really think someone would move from Linux to Windows for Oracle database, when the opposite happens most of the times.
We will consider the entire exercise as limited LAB & for some reasons, if this has to be performed for a production instance, make sure AN IMAGE BACKUP/Cold Backup is available to avoid possible data loss. Cold backup routine as below:
RMAN> shutdown immediate;
RMAN> startup mount;
RMAN>backup database; #replace with your backup routine
RMAN>
Hi guys
Greetings. I have been hell busy during last few weeks. Traveling, fixing stuffs & as usual learning new “things”. This time I am working with RMAN, the recovery manager for Oracle database & trying to establish something that is NOT that orthodox or this is how I feel once after going through many documents. Well, remember we did hack installations, we got “stuffs” work ;). So why not give it a try?
Attempted: Restoring Linux RMAN backup(s) to Windows. Doable? Well, YES.
Cons: No idea yet (6-March-2018, possible data loss as the redo log files will not be readable)
Could be used at Production: At your own risk
I am not going to break the flow anywhere, it is a lengthy one shot document. Prior giving it a try, make sure you have copied the backups from Linux machine to your Windows Machine.
