  • Drivnal - backup utility with web interface

    Just finished adding package to AUR for an open source backup utility I'm working on. It has web interface and create's backups using rsync+hard links similar to Time Machine on OSX. There's a demo of the web interface and more info on homepage http://drivnal.com/ Still in development so there are a lot of bugs.

    Hi Saurabh,
    Please check your available device for backup, I think device is not active,
    take help of OS support.
    you can issue this command to check
    #tctl -f /dev/rmt/0m status
    #tctl -f /dev/rmt/0mn status
    Please update this node, if your problem is solved.

  • VSS snapshots for DPM 2010 Hyper-V backup conflict with SQL backup on a virtual SQL server

    We currently use DPM 2010 to backup our virtual servers which reside on a 5 node Hyper-V clustered share volume.  DPM uses the hardware VSS writer to backup the Hyper-V guests.   Several of these Hyper-V guests are SQL servers (SQL 2008) and they
    are all configured to run point in time SQL backups using SQL Management Plans.
    The SQL backups are scheduled to run a full database backup on a Friday and differential backups on the other days of the week.  Transaction backups are scheduled to run several times throughout the day.
    However we have recently discovered that there is a conflict between these two methods as it seems as though when a restore is required using a differential SQL backup, it fails as the snapshot created by DPM forces SQL to believe it has had a full backup
    carried out externally from the Management Plan and is therefore unable to perform the restore.
    DPM backs up the Hyper-V guests on a daily basis from 8pm.
    Can anyone provide any advice or guidance on this as we need both types of backup to run successfully.  We are required to backup SQL with point in time backups and we also need to protect the Hyper-V guests in their entirety.

    Thanks Mike,
    I have tried this but unfortunately it has no effect.  The VM has Oracle installed (although not the Oracle VSS Writer).  It is the Oracle application server, not the database server, and the customer has a script that is used to stop and start
    the Oracle application when required.  Through troubleshooting this with them I have noticed that after the WLS_Reports service/process is stopped the backups run successfully but when it is running the backups fail.
    I have also noticed that when I stop the Hyper-V Volume Shadow Copy Requestor the backup runs successfully, which I guess is as expected.
    When the backups fail I get 2 errors in the application log:
    Event Id 12293, VSS - Error calling a routine on a shadow copy provider {GUID for the Hyper-V IC Software Shadow Copy Provider}.  Routine details PreFinalCommitSnapshots ({GUID}, 5) [hr = 0x800705b4, This operation returned because
    the timeout period expired.]
    Event Id 19, vmicvss - Not all the shadow volumes arrived in the guest operating system.
    This is also part of the same problem I have posted here: Backup
    fails for a Hyper-V guest with VSS Writer failures using DPM 2012 R2 - Hyper-V guest has Oracle application installed

  • Time machine backup problem with company backup.

    I have serious problems with making backups of our company computers by Time Machine.
    We have Synology NAS with Time Machine Support. When I made setting for Time Machine backups (users, shares, quotas, etc. ) ewerything worked fine. All Time machines uses one directory, that appears on the network like a Time capsule. Machines have their own accounts with quotas etc. After a few days started many problems. Some Time Machines has missed their target sparsebundles and unsuccessfully tried write into some others. After Time Machine restart and new manual setting problem persisting. Only successfull solution is complete remove all affected sparsebundles (miss all older backups) and make new ones. This problems appears on many different computers with various OSX version 10.6 - 10.8.
    Can you help me with this problem?

    I have used OS X Server on an Xserve and gained the impression that it did little that OS X would not do. Earlier versions had a fairly easy to use GUI but as it developed it became more tedious and unreliable than using OS X on the same hardware. It was far from cheap for unlimited users even with educational discounts.
    At one time OS X Server was more advanced than the same version number OS X - about half a version ahead.
    I am not saying that it may not be faster to set up if you have had previous OS X Server experience but it is a steep learning curve after only OS X experience. The average user would get there faster with one of the many tutorials on the web about using OS X as a server.
    At one time OS X Server had a security bug in that it confused FTP root with machine root under some conditions leaving the whole disk open to the public.

    Hello,
    Ora 00603 Oracle server session terminate by fatal error.
    Ora 004030 out of process memory when trying to allocate 4120 bytes(pl/sql) MPCODE,BAMMA, BAM Buffer) The ORA-04030 error message is interesting. It means that the OS doesn't have enough memory for Oracle.
    So you may monitore the Memory usage of the Server during the Symantec Backup, and check for any activity. May be the Symantec Backup runs when other Batch Jobs use already a lot of memory . You may also have to extend the RAM of the Server.
    Also, check for the RMAN script used by Symantec and compare with the "manual" script. May be, some options are used with Symantec and consume more resources on the Server.
    Hope this help.
    Best regards,

  • Lync Backup/Restore with SQL backup

    Is it possible to backup and restore the XDS database (Lync topology and configuration information) using SQL database tools?  Technet is very confusing, it describes in great detail how to use cmdletts to export the configuration then back it up with
    te regular backups.  But then at link for Backup - restore best practices  it states "The simplest and most commonly used backup type and rotation schedule is a full, nightly backup of the entire SQL Server database. Then, if restoration is necessary,
    the restoration process requires only one backup and no more than a day’s data should be lost."
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh202184.aspx
    Best Practices for Backup and Restoration
    To facilitate your back up and restoration process, apply the following best practices when you back up or restore your data:
    Perform regular backups at appropriate intervals. The simplest and most commonly used backup type and rotation schedule is a full, nightly backup of the entire SQL Server database. Then, if restoration is necessary, the restoration process requires only
    one backup and no more than a day’s data should be lost.
    If you use cmdlets or the Lync Server Control Panel to make configuration changes, use the
    Export-CsConfiguration cmdlet to take a snapshot backup of the topology configuration file (Xds.mdf) after you make the changes so that you won't lose the changes if you need to restore your databases.
    Ensure that the shared folder you plan to use for backing up Lync Server 2010 has sufficient disk space to hold all the backed up data.
    Schedule backups when Lync Server usage typically is low to improve server performance and the user experience.
    Ensure that the location where you back up data is secure.
    Keep the backup files where they are available in case you need to restore the data.
    Plan for and schedule periodic testing of the restoration processes supported by your organization.
    Validate your backup and restoration processes in advance to ensure that they work as expected.

    Hello,
    Legato log files might tell you more about the root cause.
    And here's just a guess: Files permissions have to be considered as well. Did you do backup and restore as the same operating system user? If users are different, then different permissions may be a problem.

  • Trying to recover a backup made using the OS7 backup utility

    I have a backup made with the backup utility from OS7 (back in 1992). I've had the original floppy disks transferred to CD (luckily, the disks were in good shape), but it's unclear how to get from the backup files to actual files. Is there a utility that can recover these files? Alternatively, is there a reference to the file format? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Is there any way to run an old copy of the software on today's hardware?
    No.
    No Intel-processor Mac can run Classic, which is a modified install of OS 9 used as a program to allow the use of some OS 9 and earlier software on a machine running OS X.
    You will probably need to do two things -
    • Acquire, or acquire the use of, an earlier machine, such as a G4 running OS 9 or OS X 10.4 or earlier and which has Classic installed.
    • Acquire a copy of an OS 9 version of Norton Utilities which includes the File Saver module. With luck that will be able to open the older archives.
    Alternatively, you might see if there is an Apple User Group near you - most large cities and universities have them. One of their memebers may have an older, running Mac which can handle the old Norton File Saver program which they will let you use to extract those files.

  • ENTERPRISE BACKUP UTILITY

    제품 : ORACLE SERVER
    작성날짜 : 2002-04-11
    ENTERPRISE BACKUP UTILITY
    =========================
    Purpose
    Oracle 7.3의 Enterprise Backup utility 의 기능과 실행방법을 이해한다.
    Explanation
    1. Introduction
    (1) Problems
    a. VLDB ( Very Large Database ) : 현재의 Database는 구조화된 많은 양의
    Data이외에도 각종 문서, 이미지 등을 모두 저장함으로써 그 크기가 기하 급
    수적으로 증가하고 있으며, 따라서 제한된 시간내에 더 많은 양의 Backup과
    Restore의 수행이 요구되어 진다.
    b. Mission Critical Applications : 이러한 Database에 기초하여 수행되는
    Applications는 Backup 작업이 진행되는 동안에도 계속 사용가능해야 하며,
    system resource(CPU 등)에 대한 contention으로 인해 수행 성능에 영향을
    받아서도 안된다.
    c. Media Management Software : 많은 Media Management Vendor들이 기존의
    UNIX system utilities(tar, cpio 등)을 보완하고 고성능의 Backup Device
    를 효과적으로 관리할 수 있는 Software를 제공하고 있으나, Database라는
    특수한 대상의 Backup과 Restore를 충분히 지원하지 못하고 있다.
    (2) Solution
    a. Oracle은 대용량 Database의 효율적인 Backup과 Restore, 더 나아가 신속
    한 Recovery를 지원하기 위해 Enterprise Backup Utility를 제공한다.
    b. Backup Solution Program : Enterprise Backup Utility는 Backup Device
    를 제어하기 위해 반드시 Media Management Software와 연동되어 수행되어
    야 하며, 이를 제공하는 Vendor들과는 Backup Solution Program을 통하여 성
    능 향상을 위해 함께 노력하고 있다.
    (3) Features
    1) Dependability
    Oracle VLDB 사용자들에 대한 폭넓은 survey를 통해 backup과 관련된 요구
    사항을 충분히 반영하고 있다.
    2) Reliability
    a. 일관된 Backup 처리 : 자동으로 수행되는 표준화된 Backup 절차에 의해
    사람이 일으킬 수 있는 에러를 줄인다.
    b. end-to-end checksumming : backup시 계산되는 checksums는 restore시
    다시 계산됨으로써 restore 작업이 제대로 수행되는지 검증할 수 있다.
    3) Availability
    a. Online Backup : Backup이 진행되는 동안에도 Database는 정상적으로 운
    영될 수 있다.
    b. Online Restore : restore는 이를 필요로 하는 특정 부분에만 적용되
    며, 이외의 다른 부분은 정상적으로 사용될 수 있다.
    4) High Performance
    a. Parallelism : 여러개의 data stream을 생성함으로써 여러개의 backup
    devices를 동시에 사용할 수 있다.
    b. Multiplexing : 하나의 device에 여러개의 data stream을 동시에 전송함
    으로써 고성능의 backup device를 최대한 활용할 수 있다.
    c. Null Block Compression : Backup시 Null data block을 제외함으로써
    시간과 backup media 사용을 줄일 수 있다. 이러한 Null data block은
    restore시 재구성된다.
    d. Buffered I/O : Memory를 사용한 buffered I/O를 수행함으로써 disk와
    backup device 혹은 network 간의 I/O speed mismatch를 보완해줄 수 있다.
    5) Usability
    a. Auto-configuration : 자동화된 database configuration 검증으로
    datafile 추가등으로 인한 database 구조 변경시에도 별도의 작업 없이
    backup을 수행할 수 있다.
    b. "lights-out" backups : scheduling에 의한 자동 backup이 가능하다.
    c. raw device 지원 : raw device에 있는 database에 대한 backup과
    restore도 file system상의 database에 대한 작업과 동일하게 수행된다.
    d. Aggregated restore : 전체 datafiles가 여러번의 backup에 거쳐 수행되
    었을 때도 가장 최근의 files를 찾아서 restore함으로써 이후에 진행되는
    recovery time을 줄일 수 있다.
    e. Point-in-time restore : 사용자가 원하는 어떤 시간으로도 restore할
    수 있다.
    f. Backup Catalog : 모든 database에 대한 backup 정보를 한 곳에서 관리
    할 수 있다.
    g. Dry run : 실제 I/O operation을 일으키지 않고 test run을 시행할 수
    있다
    6) No Cost
    a. Enterprise Backup Utility는 효율적인 Backup과 Restore, 그리고
    Recovery를 위한 Oracle Server Utility로 무상으로 공급된다.
    b. Database의 Configuration 정보, Backup과 Restore 정보 등을 기록하기
    위해 별도로 설치되는 Catalog Database는 license 비용을 부담하지 않는다.
    7) Flexibility
    a. Enterprise Backup Utility API : Enterprise Backup Utility와 Media
    Management Software는 API를 통해 상호 연결되어 수행되므로 이를 제공하
    는 모든 Software와 함께 사용될 수 있다.
    b. 사용자는 원하는 Backup Devices와 Media Management Software를 선택
    할 수 있다.
    c. 현재 각 Hardware platform별로 사용가능한 Media Management Software
    는 Availability Matrix에 나와 있으며, 계속 추가될 것이다.
    2. Availability Matrix

    1) Backup Catalog
    a. Backup 받으려는 Target Database의 Configuration 정보(physical
    structures, etc.) 및 Backup/Restore 작업 history를 저장하기 위해 필요
    한 Database
    b. Backup Catalog 정보가 없으면 restore 작업이 불가능하므로 Backup
    Catalog은 Media Failure에 대비하여 Target Database와 다른 machine에 있
    는 Database에 install할 것을 권장한다.
    c. EBU V2.0.x에서 Backup Catalog은 별도로 backup 받아야 하나, V2.1에서
    는 Target Database와 함께 자동으로 backup된다.
    d. Backup Catalog을 Target과 같은 Database에 install할 경우, online
    backup은 가능하나 offline backup은 불가능하다.
    e. Install 작업에 의해 Backup Catalog의 Owner (database user : obk by
    default) 및 Objects ( Tables, Indexes, Sequences )를 생성한다.
    2) EBU Executables
    a. Backup 받으려는 Target Database의 user로 login하여 Install한다.
    b. Owner가 같은 Database들은 하나의 Executables를 공유할 수 있다.
    ( One Installation per DBMS owner
    => One set of executables per DBMS owner )
    Target Database     ORA1     ORA2
    Owner     oracle     oracle
    $ORACLE_SID     ORA1     ORA2
    $ORACLE_HOME     /u1/orahome1     /u2/orahome2
    EBU Executables     installed under/u1/orahome1/obackup     not installed
    $OBK_HOME     /u1/orahome1/obackup     /u1/orahome1/obackup
    cf. Backup Catalog과 Executables의 install은 순서에 상관없이 가능하다.
    (2) Installation of Backup Catalog
    1) Prerequisites
    a. Backup Catalog으로 사용할 Database가 PL/SQL을 support하고 open되어
    있어야 한다.

    c. SYS user의 password 입력 --> Catalog DB에 대한 작업 권한 확인
    d. Backup Catalog Tables의 Owner(obk by default) 지정
    --> Database User 생성
    cf. Internal Process
    $ORACLE_HOME/bin/svrmgrl SYS/<password>@<Connect_String>
    $OBK_HOME/install/obkcrbkcat.sh     : obk user 생성
    $OBK_HOME/admin/obkcat.sql     : Backup Catalog Objects(Tables, etc.) 생성
    (3) Installation of EBU Executables
    1) Prerequisites
    EBU API를 제공하는 Media Management Software(이하 MMS)가 install
    되어 있어야 한다.
    2) Installation

    $SHLIB_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$SHLIB_PATH
    b. $OBK_HOME/admin/catalog.obk
    - Backup Catalog에 대한 Connection Information 확인
    4) EBU without MMS
    a. MMS의 API
    일반적으로 EBU는 MMS가 제공하는 API를 통해 external device를 제어할
    수 있는 MMS와 연결되어 backup과 restore를 수행한다.
    b. EBU의 API
    EBU는 MMS가 install되지 않은 machine에서 EBU의 API를 사용하여 File
    system상으로의 backup을 수행할 수 있다.
    i) Installation
    - 일반적인 installation의 step b),c)를 다음과 같이 수행한다.
    ii) 3 rd Party Media Management Software Vendor
    - Others 선택
    iii) API( Solaris : libobk.so.1, HP : libobk.sl ) file의 위치
    (directory path) 지정
    - Installation source 위치 지정
    ex) /cdrom/obackup/lib
    c. Environment Variable $BACKUP_DIR setting
    - File system상의 directory 지정
    - 반드시 하나만을 지정한다. Otherwise, Backup 수행시 Error 발생
    (4) Install Verification
    다음과 같은 간단한 Register Script를 작성하여 수행시켜본다.
    $ cat register_script
    register
    db_name = "ORA1"
    oracle_sid = "ORA1"
    oracle_home = "/u1/orahome1"
    pfile = "?/dbs/[email protected]", "?/dbs/[email protected]"
    $ obackup register_script
    Example
    1. 개요
    1) 일반적인 Backup과 Oracle7 Enterprise Backup Utility(이하 EBU)를
    사용한 Backup의 performance 비교
    2) EBU performance feature 변경시의 Backup performance 비교
    a. Parallelism
    b. Null Block Compression
    cf. 현 site에서 사용중인 Media Management Software OmniBackII V2.1은
    Multiplexing 기능과 Buffer Size 변경을 지원하지 않으므로 위의 두가지
    feature만을 test함.
    ( EBU performance feature : Parallelism, Multiplexing,
    Null Block Compression, Buffered I/O )
    3) Site : 삼성 반도체 IS실 ( Platform : HP, MMS : OmniBackII V2.1 )
    2. 내용
    1) 기존의 Backup과 EBU를 사용한 Backup의 비교
    a. Offline Backup
    Total Size of Datafiles : 82 GB
    Backup Device : DAT Drive 10개
    Backup 방법     OS command(fbackup)     EBU + MMS
    Backed-up Size     82 GB      62 GB
    Time     11 hours     4.5 hours
    b. Online Backup
    Total Size of Datafiles : 10 GB
    Backup Device : Optimal Disk Drive 3개
    Backup 방법     OS command + MMS     EBU + MMS
    Backed-up Size     10 GB     4 GB
    Time     5 ~ 10 hours     1.17 hours
    2) Parallel Backup Device 증가시의 Performance 비교
    Total size of Datafiles : 4530 MB
    Total number of Datafiles : 14개 ( striped on 4 disks )
    Backup Device : Optimal Disk
    Device 갯수     Parallel 값     Backed-up size (MB)     Time
    2     4     2042      52:56
    3     6     2043     38:20
    3     3     2039     35:50
    4     8     2020 / 2054     37:19 / 37:37
    4     4     2040     33:52
    a. 동시에 사용되는 Devices 갯수가 증가하면 performance는 향상되나
    항상 linear하게 향상되지는 않으며, 전혀 향상되지 않는 경우도 있다.
    예를 들어, 16개의 datafiles를 backup할 경우,
    ( 각 datafile의 backup에 소요되는 시간은 동일하다고 가정한다.)
    ① 4개의 device (parallel=4)를 사용하면
    하나의 process가 4개씩의 datafiles를 처리하고
    ② 5개의 device(parallel=5)를 사용하면
    4개의 processes는 3개씩의 datafiles를, 나머지 하나의 process는 4
    개의 datafiles를 처리하므로 전체적인 backup 시간은 동일하다.
    b. 위 test는 Device 3개와 4개의 performance 차이가 거의 없슴을
    보여주고 있다. 하나의 datafile은 하나의 process에 의해 backup 작업이
    진행되므로 커다란 datafile이 backup되는 동안 다른 process들이 작업을
    모두 끝내고 기다리고 있다면 이와 같은 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 실제로
    backup된 14개의 datafiles는 400 ~ 800 MB 6개, 50 ~ 200 MB 8개로 구성되
    어 있다.
    c. Parallel 값을 실제 Devices 갯수보다 크게 줄 경우, 동일한 Device를
    access하는 process들간의 I/O contention에 의해performance가 감소될 수
    도 있다. 위 test는 그러한 예를 보여준다.
    d. 균일한 크기의 여러개의 datafiles가 여러개의 disk에 striping되어 있
    고 적절한 갯수의 Devices를 사용할 경우 parallelism에 의한 최대의
    performance를 기대할 수 있다.
    3) Compression에 의한 performance 비교
    Backup Device : DAT Drive 5개 & Parallel = 5
    SEQ.     EBU 사용여부     Compression여부     Datafile Size (MB)     Backed-up Size (MB)     Time
    1     X     O     4530     654     40:01
    2     X     X     4530     4530     41:41
    3     O     O     4530 / 4530     2017 / 2066     32:43 / 31:24
    4     O     X     4600     4552     44:15
    a. SEQ. 1,2,3과 SEQ. 4의 Backup 대상은 동일하지 않으며, 따라서 이로 인
    한 오차가 있으리라 추정된다.
    i) SEQ. 1,2,3
    - 14 Datafiles striped on 4 disks
    ( 400 ~ 800 MB 6개, 50 ~ 200 MB 8개 )
    ii) SEQ. 4
    - 6 Datafiles striped on 3 disks
    ( 800 ~ 1000 MB 2개, 400 ~ 600MB 4개 )
    b. MMS의 Compression 여부는 Option으로 지정 가능하며, EBU를 사용할
    경우는 MMS 자체의 Compression 기능을 사용할 수 없다.
    ( MMS에 따라 Compression 여부 및 비율은 달라질 수 있다.)
    c. EBU의 Null Block Compression은 항상 수행되며, SEQ. 4의 Compression
    X는 Null Block이 거의 없어 무시할 수 있을 정도의 Compression이 있었음
    을 의미한다.
    d. Null Block이 많을수록 backup 소요 시간은 줄어든다.
    e. 위 test 결과 Multiplexing 사용, Buffer size 조정 등이 없다면 Null
    Data Block 이 거의 없는 datafile의 backup시 EBU 사용으로 인한
    performance 향상은 없다고 볼 수 있다.
    f. 그러나 일반적으로 사용되는 Database는 약 30% 가량의 여유 공간을
    준비해 놓고 사용되므로 Database가 커질수록 Null Block Compression으로
    인한 Backup 시간 및 media 사용의 감소는 중요해진다.
    3. Integration with HP OmniBack
    (1) OmniBack Template file 수정
    a. OmniBack의 Template file 상단에 Backup 받으려는 Target Database의
    owner와 동일한 Environment Variables를 setting한다.
    b. Template file : /etc/opt/omni/oracle/obackup.sh.temp
    c. Environment Variables
    export ORACLE_HOME=
    export OBK_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME/obackup
    export ORACLE_SID=
    export OBK_DB_LIGIN=sys/<password>@<Connect_String>
    export NLS_LANG=
    - NLS_LANG은 Backup Catalog이 install되어 있는 Database의 NLS_LANG
    export SHLIB_PATH=
    - SHLIB_PATH는 HP machine일 경우만 setting
    (2) Relink EBU Executables
    a. BUG 385844
    b. EBU를 사용하여 backup 수행시 OBK-4003 Error가 발생하면
    i) 7.3 Server Environment에서 EBU Executables를 relink하거나
    $ cd $OBK_HOME/lib
    $ make -f ins_obackup.mk ORACLE_HOME=<ORACLE_HOME> setup
    ii) 7.3 Environment가 없을 경우
    tcpatch:/u1/patch/HP9800/obackup에 있는 patch 적용

  • Backup fail with VSSwriter error

    Hello,
    we currently are using Symantec Backup on tape and Windows Server Backup to make two differents backups on a SBS 2008.
    We are getting failed backup randomly during the week for both. Sometimes one is succeed and not the others.
    We have found several post about the VSS issues and how to fix it but nothing has changed.
    What we have done:
    - check the VSS writer and all is in "no error" state
    - check the settings of the backups
    - restart the VSS services
    - Configure the Shadow Copy on the drives
    - reboot the server
    - Tried several solutions from forums
    What we can see in the event viewer
    ID 12289
    "Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error VSS_E_WRITER_STATUS_NOT_AVAILABLE. An older active writer session state is being overwritten by a newer session. The most common cause is that the number of parallel backups has exceeded the maximum
    supported limit.  hr = 0x80042409. 
    Operation:
       Aborting Writer
    ID 7001

    and it can cause  the shadow-copy creation to fail.  Trying again when disk activity is lower may solve this problem.

       Volume Name: \\?\Volume{c22d5d46-0540-11e0-9496-806e6f6e6963}\"
    Some will post the link of "how to troubleshoot VSSwriter issue": we have already used it.
    Does someone have a fresh idea about this issue ?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Nerea,
    Before going further, would you please let me confirm if temporarily disable either of the two backup, will
    another backup operation run smoothly? In other words, if temporarily disable Symantec Backup, will Windows Server Backup always run successfully? Or if disable Windows Server Backup, will Symantec Backup always run successfully? Please check if Windows Server
    Backup conflicts with Symantec Backup.
    Based on the error message, please run
    chkdsk command and check if there is any issue in the disk. Then use
    Vssadmin resize shadowstorage to resizes the maximum amount of storage space that can be used for shadow copy storage. And check if this issue still persists.
    In addition, would you please let me know whether re-register Volume VSS components? If this issue still persists,
    please re-register and monitor the result.
    From command prompt:
    cd windows\system32
    Net stop vss
    Net stop swprv
    regsvr32 ole32.dll
    regsvr32 vss_ps.dll
    Vssvc /Register
    regsvr32 /i swprv.dll
    regsvr32 /i eventcls.dll
    regsvr32 es.dll
    regsvr32 stdprov.dll
    regsvr32 vssui.dll
    regsvr32 msxml.dll
    regsvr32 msxml3.dll
    regsvr32 msxml4.dll
    net start swprv
    net start vss
    By the way, did the Symantec Backup and Windows Server Backup run at the same time? Or before one backup finished,
    had another backup started?
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,
    Justin Gu

  • Steps to create the standby with Hot Backup........?????

    Hi All
    I am planning to create the Physical standby with Hot backup ....
    Can anyboby give me the link/steps which explains how to do this?
    Thanks
    Gagan

    To copy the file from the primary, you can use RMAN, or manual hot backup copy with begin backup and end backup mode.
    You can read the doc about creation of standby database :
    http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/create_ps.htm#i70835

  • Backup utility call failed

    Hello,
    I upgraded recently the Oracle database from 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.2. (on AIX )
    Since then, the backups do not more function correctly.
    As in the BRBACKUP Action Log for Database, the following errors occured:
    - BR0232E 0 of 90 files saved by backup utility
    - BR0231E Backup utility call failed
    - Cannot reopen backint log file as stderr
    So, I checked the permissions for /usr/sap/DIS/SYS/exe/run/backint, the path and permission are set properly.
    I checked the also log '/nsr/applogs/backintSID.log' and I noted that the system does not write any more in this file since last successful backup (befor the Upgrade)
    Many Thanks in advance for your help
    NB : according to the SAP Note 948294, I deleted the options cio, dio in /etc/filesystems
    Best regards
    Latif

    >> @Orkun
    My current Br*tools version is : BR0651I BRTOOLS 7.10 (30). I upgraded an other DEV System before, it has the same BRTOOLS version as my test system, and the backup works well.
    Firstly, rename backintSID.log to backintSID.log.1 and start a new backup. By doing so, the system will try to create a new trace file. If it is not able to create trace file, check the permissions of its directory(/nsr/applogs). At the end of this operation, could you provide full trace?
    Secondy, even you are able to execute the brtools 7.10 on your dev system, I still strongly recommend update it to 7.20. Check the note 12741 - Current versions of BRTools and SAPDBA
    Thirdly, is brbackup forked by a 3rd party backup application or manually at the OS level by orasid user?
    Best regards,
