Using BACKINT Command Line for Querying Backup Information

You can use the BACKINT command line to query backup information.

To query backup information using BACKINT command line

  1. Query all backed up information through BACKINT call with no further specification, in which, input file must contain an entry '#NULL', and '-o' switch is optional.
    backint -u <SID> -f inquire -t file -p <util_profile> -i <input_file> [-o <output_file>]
    

    SID: Oracle SID

    util_profile: util file init<SID>.utl path

    input file: the input file which context must contain an entry '#NULL'

    For example:

    backint –u CER –f inquire –t file –p "F:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\database\initcer.utl" –i "c:\input.txt" [–o "c:\output.txt" ]

    backint -u <SID> -f inquire -t file -p <util_profile> -i <input_file> [-o <output_file> ]
    
  3. Query all backed up information through BACKINT call with file_name specified, in which input file must contain entry '#NULL <file_name>', and '-o' switch is optional.
    backint -u <SID> -f inquire -t file -p <util_profile> -i <input_file> [-o <output_file>]
    
  4. Query all backed up information through BACKINT call with backup_id and file_name specified, in which, input file must contain entries like '<backup_id_1><file_name_1>' and/or '<backup_id_2><file_name_2>', and '-o' switch is optional.
    backint -u <SID> -f inquire -t file -p <util_profile> -i <input_file> [-o <output_file>]
