BRBackup Finished with errors

Question

Hi,
I have scheduled an offline backup on my QA database. BRBackup finished the comression of all the datafiles and while starting the database it has returned errors.
Error log is

I am just wondering; will it be able to restore this database? Will BRRESTORE allows us to restore this?
Please help me in understanding this
Many Thanks

Hi,
this error generally occurs when database is trying to restart and it does not find all files to open...
have you checked this file is present or not oracle/IR1/sapdata2/undo_1/undo.data1 ??
Please run below command the you will get to know which data file is missing ..
ALTER SYSTEM CHECK DATAFILES.
Also, please go thorugh below links:
