Configure backup device in SAP(DB13)

I have installed the ECC 6.0 with SQLServer 2005 ,now I want to
configure the backup device in it. I am using external hdd for backup.
Please suggest me how to configure backup device in SAP(DB13) and
database level.
where I have to set the parameters for backup device.
Thanks

Hi..
You need to configure initSID.sap inside Kernel.
Choose backup device type to disk
backup_dev_type = disk
and change backup root directory
backup_root_dir = < Your_External_HDD_adress>
e.g. G:/backup/
Hope it should work....

  • How to configure backup device

    Hii,
    I have fresh install 4.7 with sql 2000 database . I want to take backup of my database in other drive . how i will configure this drive .
    thanks & regards
    jagdish

    hi,
    you want to take backup using DB13 or from SQL server enterprise manager,
    if you want to take backup on network drive the drive must be map and accessible through windows.
    configure backup devices on MS SQL Server management Studio,
    logon to SQL server management Studio,
    under object explorer navigate through server object -> backup devices
    create new backup device -- destination file type. give path for your network drive backup folder.

  • New to sap - need help in configure backup strategy for SAP XI server.

    hi gurus
    being a netweaver guy, recently i have been given  the responsibility of few basis activities.like database backup.
    can any one tell me clear procedure to take both daily online and weekend full offline backup of oracle in to disk first and then to tape.   i have seen in the internet  material few discussing about brbackup and few about sap DB13. i am totally confused which one to use, and which is good. please help
    akhil

    Hi,
    welcome on board as SAP Netweaver guy,
    don't be confused both DB13 and BRtools are the same both of them will call brbackup.
    to configure the brtools you have to change in your brtools profiles located at  %ORACLE_HOME%/dbs
    please before changing any thing take backup from that folder.
    - to take the backup to disk then to tape you will need extra backup software, because using the SAP slandered tools you have to select either Disk or Tape.
    Thanks

  • How to configure backup parallel in SAP with oracle database?

    Dear SAP,
    We need your suggestion on oracle database backup parallel using brbackup, our SAP system run on:
    OS: UNIX - SUN Solaris SPARC 10
    SAP: ECC 6.0 SR3
    Database: Oracle 10.2.0.4
    Our production database are growing rapidly, estimate growing is 2GB/days. Right now we backup our Production using one tape that estimated time to online backup is 4-5hours.
    In there future, if we stayed this configuration. It will take long time to backup and restore it's not applicable. That's why we are planning to add more tapes during backup (4 tape parallel).
    I read from help.sap, that we can configure this on $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init<SID>.sap. in parameter:
    compress = harware
    backup_dev_type = tape
    tape_address = (tape1, tape2, tape3, tape4)
    tape_address_rew = (tape1, tape2, tape3, tape4)
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/88/a2a041a5d4af4db168992639d65d3b/frameset.htm
    My question,
    If we want to backup parallel using 4 tapes, is this configuration that we need to do (init<SID>.sap) from sap side (DB13)?
    Thanks and Best Regards,
    Widi

    Dear Mark,
    Thanks for your help. actually I have one more question:
    How do I restore my backup form this 4 tapes, if I'm using parallel backup?
    Will the command same like I restore form 1 tape:
    example:
    brrestore u2013b beczqlnk.ant u2013m full
    brrestore u2013a 5371-5372=/oracle/<SID>/oraarch/
    Below are the paramter that I will configure:
    - tape_address = /dev/rmt/0cbn
    - compress = hardware
    - backup_dev_type = tape
    - exec_parallel = 4
    - tape_size = 1600000
    - tape_address = (dev/rmt/0mn, /dev/rmt/1mn, ..)
    - tape_address_rew = (dev/rmt/0m, /dev/rmt/1m, ..)
    Appreciate you help and suggestion on this.
    Dear Venkat,
    thanks for your suggestion

    Hi Alpesh,
    I have read the post , and its quiet useful..What i need to know more about it is I need to give the Path for my External Tape Drive.
    I have defined the type as Tape.
    backup device type
    [tape | tape_auto | tape_box | pipe | pipe_auto | pipe_box | disk
    | disk_copy | disk_standby | stage | stage_copy | stage_standby
    | util_file | util_file_online | rman_util | rman_disk | rman_stage
    | rman_prep]
    default: tape
    backup_dev_type = tape
    I have to define the Path how can i tell the system to backup to Extrenal tape drive.
    backup root directory [<path_name> | (<path_name_list>)]
    default: $SAPDATA_HOME/sapbackup
    backup_root_dir = $SAPDATA_HOME/sapbackup
    Thanks

  • Error while defining USB dribe as backup device in MSSQL

    Hi all, i am facing this error when i am creating a new backup device in MSSQL and while watching media contents.
    System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Cannot open backup device 'SAPMSQLDB(E:\SAPBackup\SAPMSQLDB.bak)'. Operating system error 2(The system cannot find the file specified.). (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
    and i am getting this error in DB13
    "Cannot open backup device 'SAPMSQLDB(E:\SAPBackup\SAPMSQLDB.bak)'. Oper"
    when you are creating a new device what should be the file name ???? i specified a file name but its not in the folder i think this might be the cause but i dont know what is the name of file or do i need to prepare the folder i mean to create some temporary files?
    appreiate any reply.

    Hi,
    not sure if the recommendations given will address this issue.
    You are getting this error:
    BR0301E SQL error -1017 at location BrDbConnect-2, SQL statement:
    'CONNECT /'
    ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
    the log file indicates:
    > No application server found on database host - rsh/gateway will be used
    This indicated that the user that is connecting from the AS to the DB server is not properly configured to perform the DB tasks on it.
    So, first question would be to know if you have configured a gateway on the DB server and how, or if you are using remote shell.
    Second question, you can do backups on the DB server.
    > I can run backupjob sucessfully directly from BRtools on database server
    How did you run exactly the backup job (what is the exact command line, what is the exact OS user that executed it)?
    What is the OS of the DB server?
    I have reread your post, your OS is windows therefore you fall in the "typical" error in Windows.
    You have executed your backup as <sid>ADM and it works. Unfortunatelly, in windows, SAP is exectuted by SAPSERVICE<sid>, and this is the user who should be connecting to your DB server, and this is the user who cannot execute the backup.
    The fact that you can run the backup with <sid>ADM in Windows does not means that you have SAPService<sid> properly configured.
    For the error (see before) I think your ops$ user for this user is not properly configured in the DB server. take a look at the note mentioned by KT and pay attention to the SAPSERVICE<sid> configuration

  • Cisco Prime Infra 2.2 + Third Party Inventory and configuration backup

    Hi All,
     I am having a doubt related to Cisco prime solution capability to do a discovery and config backup for non-cisco devices. 
    Requirement is to use Cisco prime to do a discovery, inventory and take configuration backup for non-cisco devices. Is it something possible out of the box ?
    If not possible out of the box, is there any method to do that using any custom API ?
    Can we monitor 3rd party( Non-cisco) devices using Cisco Prime 2.2 ?
    Skr

    Hi,
    Below is supported-device list, check if your device is listed there.

  • CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;

    CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;
    above cmd only working on "sbt" type device or it is working also "disk".
    plz. let me know. sir.
    thanx in advance.

    From the docs:
    Requirements for Backup Optimization
    Backup optimization is used when the following conditions are true:
    The CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON command has been run to enable backup optimization.
    You run BACKUP DATABASE, BACKUP ARCHIVELOG with ALL or LIKE options, or BACKUP BACKUPSET ALL.
    Only one type of channel is allocated, that is, you do not mix channels of type DISK and sbt in the same backup command.

    %F is only vaild for controlfile autobackups, there are other elements to store the date:

    Hi,
    Probably you were not connected.
    Try:
    connect target /;
    CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/ora_backup/backupset/%F';
    My output on the last command:
    new RMAN configuration parameters:
    CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/ora_backup/backupset/%F';
    new RMAN configuration parameters are successfully stored

  • Cisco prime configuration backup

    Hi There,
    In Cisco prime infrastructure there are two places that I can do backup of the WLCs. 
    1. Operate -> Configuration Archive & run schedule archive
    2. Administration -> background Task -> Controller Configuration Backup
    Can someone tell me what's the different between these two? What would be the issue if I have enable only option 1 not 2? If I want to get the running configuration of the controller to my PC How I would be able to do that?
    Thx
    Sara

    An Intelligent Network Management Application doesn't have to depend on most basic tasks for user input.
    It should be smart enough to start managing devices for configurations, inventory and Fault Management out of the box, as soon as the devices are added.
    Under Mega-Menu like --> Design, Deploy and Operate their are many tasks which are user deployed and as per the network preferences and requirement.
    Under Background Tasks we have System Defined Tasks to start many such device management activities by default.
    Also, under Background task, you can configure an external TFTP/FTP server to archive the backup of the controllers configuration.
    -Thanks
    Vinod

    Are they reachable? do the controller have proper READ_WRITE community string? can you issue debug transfer tftp enable on controller and see the output

  • User privilege level for configuration backup with PI 1.2

    We have more than 50 devices handling by PI 1.2 (testing) I like to know how to do configuration archiving with user who doesn't have write privilege.
    I tried like this.
    username john privilege 6 password cisco
    privilege exec level 6 show running-config
    (result) show run --> blank
      I tried this user with one of switch in PI 1.2. It did not do configuration backup
    username inout password inout
    username inout privilege 15 autocommand show running-config
    (result) once logged in, it automatically showed running-config. However when I tried with PI 1.2 with this user (inout). I couldn't do configuration back.
    reference
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk59/technologies_tech_note09186a00800949d5.shtml
    so, my question is this. what is the solution for me to create certain user with read-only privilege while PI 1.2 is able to do configuration archiving ?
    thanks in advance

    7.4 MSE code will in fact require an update of Prime 1.2 to 1.3.0.20-
    It's pretty easy though and your licenses will still work from the Prime Infra side.
    Here's a link to upgrade PI to 1.3
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/net_mgmt/prime/infrastructure/1.3/release/notes/cpi_rn_13.html#wp73605
    I personally would go ahead with the upgrade of both:::
