Thanks Don.

I was trying for something too, but it did not work out...i did what you mentioned created touch entry for keeping track of successful DB(/tmp/checkifdbbackwassuccesful. and was trying something in term of this in my main for loop...

Code:
for db in `egrep -i ":NBU" $ORATAB | grep -v "^#" | grep -v "\*" | cut -d":" -f1 | sort | uniq`
do

########################################################
# Check to make sure previous backup was successful    #             
# if it was not, only backup that specific DB          # 
########################################################

if [ -f /tmp/checkifdbbackwassuccesful ]; then
   for success_db in `cat /oracle/tmp/testsuccess|grep $db`; do
if test $db = $success_db; then
 :
else
RUN MY BACKUP CMD
fi

but obviously that did not work.... and will still working on it

THANK YOU For you reply on this...couple of questions i have for you....

how would we deal with something like...let say my backup started at around 11pm today(it will touch/create a file called Completed.20120926) and my backup ended tomorrow around 2am....now that it is a different day and if i try to restart my backup job(if it failed) wouldn't it look for filed called Completed.20120927(sept 27/next day) and will obviously not find it and process all the DB again ?

Moderator's Comments:
Mod Comment edit by bakunin: you got it almost right: start with a [code]-tag, but end with a [/code]-tag (notice the "/").

RDIFF-BACKUP-FS(1)					      General Commands Manual						RDIFF-BACKUP-FS(1)

NAME
rdiff-backup-fs - Filesystem for accessing rdiff-backup archives. SYNOPSIS
rdiff-backup-fs <mount_point> <repository> [repositories ...] [-option ...] DESCRIPTION
rdiff-backup-fs is a filesystem in userspace that reads rdiff-backup archives and provides convenient access. OPTIONS
--debug <0-4> Run rdiff-backup-fs in foreground with given verbosity of debug messages. -f, --full Store information about all revisions in memory. CAUTION: this may take a lot of memory if your archive contains many revisions. -l, --last Displays files from the most recent increment as directories, each holding every version of the file. CAUTION: this stores informa- tion about all revisions in memory and therefore may take a lot of memory if archive contains many revisions. -c <n>, --caching <n> How many files retrieved from the rdiff-backup archive may be cached by filesystem. By default rdiff-backup-fs will cache up to 10 files. If this switch is set to 0, no caching will be done. -r <n>, --revisions <n> How many revisions should be stored in memory for on demand revision retrieval. By default rdiff-backup-fs will store up to 10 revi- sions in memory. -d, --directory <path> Set directory for directory with temporary files. By default rdiff-backup-fs uses /tmp. -v, --version Print version of rdiff-backup-fs and exit. SEE ALSO
