DB13 online backup restore

I am taking daily online backup from DB13 with the option"database backup+redolog file" on a tape medium.If I want to restore this taken backup what is the procedure and commands to be used

Hi Diego,
Move to your sap backup folder and execute the following commands
$ at now/usr/sap/SID/sys/exe/brrestore -c force -b -m fullc trl+d
will give you the output at what time it is going to start. to check the job running or not
$ ps -ef | grep br
it will show the job which is running .....To recover online redologs, you need to start your database in mount mode and execute the following command
Recover database using backup controlfile until cancel;
If you want to reset logs...
Alter database open reset logs.
Hope this helps you
And also you can use brtools to restore instead of command level.
Thanks
Kishore

Actions to be performed after a online backup restore

Hello Guru's,
I have an online backup of a system.
(AIX - ORACLE)
If I restore the backup using Tivoli Storage Manager I still have to perform some actions to recover the database.
I have read through the SAP documentation and it seems I can restore the logs using brtools (brrecover).
My questions actually is, which option do I have to take if I want to apply the offline archive logs as far as possible ?
"Complete database recovery" of "database point in time recovery" ?
I want to make sure that only the archivelogs are being applied and that the database restore is not peformed again.
Thank you all !
bye

Hello Hans,
> and it seems I can restore the logs using brtools (brrecover).
If you only want to restore your archivelogs, then use brrestore.
brrecover is for recovering the database, not for restoring.
Take a look at here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/88/cadaca94734ae5b8ea3491f615741b/content.htm
and here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/0d/d3077b4a0c11d182b80000e829fbfe/content.htm
> My questions actually is, which option do I have to take if I want to apply the offline archive logs as far as possible ?
> "Complete database recovery" of "database point in time recovery" ?
In this case you have to do an incomplete database recovery or in other words called "point in time recovery". For the difference between these two restore types take a look at the oracle documentation:
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14192/intro004.htm#i1016863
After you have restored your archive logs you can perform the recovery manually:
> SQL> recover database using backup controlfile until cancel;
> SQL> cancel;
> SQL> alter database open resetlogs;
Btw.as you are using TDP for SAP you can use backfm to restore only some several files.

Hello
The previous contributor is correct, the profile is usually read from ORACLE_HOME. I have never seen this error linking to the Oracle client directory, please double check the following
Ensure that your envirionment variables are correctly set ORACLE_HOME, DIR_LIBRARY
Brtools are always installed on the DB server and can be called from any application server. if you are scheduling from DB13 on the application server, what is the connection setup? RSH, RFC, standalone gateway?
If using a standalone gateway, it must be installed on the DB server, please refer to oss notes #446172, #1025707

Backup - Restore process of a Site Collection in SharePoint Online

Hi, I have a couple of questions.
1) What do I have to do to get a backup-restore of a site collection in SharePoint Online?
2) Can I myself perform a backup-restore or just backup a site collection without using any 3rd party tool?
Any inputs on these will be helpful. Thanks in advance!

Hi,
what you can instead of backup and restore site is to save it as template, check this thread

Restore Online Backup in SCDPM 2012 R2

Dear all,
i have a question on SCDPM 2012 R2 + Azure Backup.
i had deployed such solution and disk backup are perfect! However, i had configured online backup policy to Azure Backup since February and i noticed i do not have the options to allow me to perform online restore!
Below is my online protection policy:
i believe i configured it correct to adhere below policy:
- perform a monthly backup and keep for ONE year
- perform a yearly backup and keep for SEVEN years
but when i go to recovery tab, it just doesnt show February backup, nor March 2nd have any backup. all the backup available are disk short term of 30 days.

Hi DeVaLiaN,
Thanks for posting here!
Each DPM backup to Azure Backup is a recovery point. With an Azure current limit of 366 recovery points your retention time for all backups shouldn’t exceed the 366 limit. In other words the retention times you set for you daily + weekly + monthly
+ yearly backups should sum up to 366 or less.
You might want to double check your configuration.
Refer to the below listed articles which might help you narrow down the issue.

Problems with Pcd Content after restore EP Portal with online Backup

Dear Colleagues,
We have problems to show Pcd Content (Browse and Search) of the Content Administration tab of the EP Portal after restore with a online Backup during Disaster Recovery Test.
Restore has become on a mirror system of Production environment. Ours EP Portal is a cluster system with the following configuration:
Production landscape:
Node 1
Disk K:\ SAP SCS directory. (Clustered)
Disk E:\ SAP Central Instance directory (Local)
Node 2
Disk E:\ SAP Dialogue Instance directory (Local)
Disk M:\ SQL Datafiles. (Clustered)
Disk L:\ SQL Logfiles. (Clustered)
Disaster Recovery landscape:
Only a Node
Disk K:\ SAP SCS directory. (Clustered)
Disk E:\ SAP Central Instance directory (Local)
Disk M:\ SQL Datafiles
Disk L:\ SQL Logfiles
Portal Version
J2EE Engine = 6.40 PatchLevel 105424.313
Portal = 6.0.18.0.0
After restore, the data base as the SAP application starts
correctly but when logon in the Portal, the Pcd Content of Content Administration tab
and to other tabs with similar information is not shown.
After restore it can be necessary to reactivate some type of configuration, links, etc?, for this type of restore is better to make a backup offline instead of online one?
We are thankful for any information on the matter.
Thanks,
Regards.
Rafa R.R.

The issue was solved with a offline backup.

Online DB2 database Copy via backup/restore

Hi Guru's
I am new in the world of DB2 (I am always working with Oracle)
I have to perform an online database copy of our SAP which is running on DB2, but I do not want to use the SAPinst method
I just want to perform it through the backup/restore method as I always do with oracle databases
Which procedure do I have to follow on my source and target SIDs
Regards
Richard

Hi Richard,
Follow the below step db2 nackup restore activity.
1). Perform full offline or online backup of source system
2). Go to cd /sapmnt/SSID/exe and run the below script
brdb6brt -bm RETRIEVE -es –replace SourceSID=TargetSID,db2SourceSID=db2TargetSID,/db2/SourceSID=/db2/TargetSID
3). Above Generate the script copy the Target System.
4). Offline PRD (Target System) Backup Images copy to Source Path (Any One Path)
5). Stop SAP System only DB2 must be Started.
6). Start the db2 backup redirect restored in Quality System
7). before run the script below activity must be finished.
Make Changes to the restore script
Go to script path
1). Replace Source SID (XXX) with Target SID (XXX)
2). Change the backup location
3). User (source db2sid) USING (Source db2sid Password)
USER db2xxx USING XXX(Password)
8). Restoring Database
Log in db2sid (db2sid) User
Go to backup & script Path
9). Run the below Script
db2 -tvf <script.scr> for exp. db2 -tvf xxx_NODE0000.scr
After successfully restore backup below command run
10). First Check Roll Forward Status
Open DB with the below command
db2 rollforward db <TargetSID> query status – check status of DB
db2 rollforward db <TargetSID> complete
11). Once the copy is complete we can check below parameter and make corrections as per your preprocessing
Db2 list tablespaces show detail (To check tablespaces)
parameter automatic storage & re-sized YES
Check the Archive log (LOGARCHMATH1) path
Log in db2sid & run the below command for change the db2 LOGARCHMATH1 Parameter value.
After successfully change the parameter restart the db2 database
12). Perform below step before the Start SAP System
13). Create SAP connects user using
PATH :- /usr/sap/SID/SYS/global
scdb6up create <connect user password> <sidadm password>
above command will update entry in /sapmnt/SID/global/dscdb6.conf

Oracle Restore from Online backup without any archive logs

Hi,
May be a dumb question. If I have a good online backup (say it took 2 hours to do that. And there is database activity while backup is going on), and lost all the archive logs happened after the online backup, is it possible at all to do the restore using that backup? complete or incomplete? and bring back the database to normal operation mode? Some details on this.
Thanks.

Let us see the reasoning behind this.
Database:WORLDDB
WORLDDB configuration:-
TBSP_WDB
->TBSP_WDB_01.dbf
->TBSP_WDB_02.dbf
SYSTEM
->SYSTEM.dbf
USERS
and so on for the tablespaces.
CASE 1:-
User managed backup.
You issue
ALTER TABLESPACE TBSP_WDB BEGIN BACKUP;
DB keeps working all transactions are recorded in the redo stream, the scn information is not updated in the file header.
Also note that the other tablespaces were been continuously worked on hence their scn numbers are a moving target.
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96572/osbackups.htm#10012
So if you begin tablespace TBSP_WDB backup at time t1 and by the time you are done with your backups you are at time t2, you will need all of the archive log's between time t1 and t2.
CASE 2:-
If we do with rman, rman takes care of the file header update information and goes on its merry way, those details are hidden from the end user. If one of the tablespace is fractured, updated while backups are going on , rman knows about it and will re-read the affected blocks in question.
My thinking would be that you might need archive logs, unless it is a cold backup, with switch logfiles in between.
If you do hot backups you need archivelogs is my thought. The number of archivelogs required will be decreased considerably through rman.
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96566/rcmconc1.htm#458821
Summary:-
Either way archivelogs are needed.

Restoring whole db Online backup with redologs backup

Dear all,
I am planning to restore a whole DB online + redo logs backup, i have few doubts . please confirm..
On Step 8, Restore and apply archivelog files ...
First sequence number (first_seq) .. (eg) 7276
Last sequence number (last_seq) .. (eg) 7278
we probably only have to mention the last_seq.... Now question is , is this the last archive created when the backup finished...(ie 7278) and in the backup log, it was mentioned that the Next archivelog is 7279...
another question , when we are restoring this backup next day , can we apply archives created after 7278 to achive DB point in time..
Thanks & regards
Adnan

Hi
U have to recover the databse using the archive files after the backup was taken.
The archive files should be copied from the source system to the target but make sure that u rename those archive files as acceptable to the target system ie log_archive_format parameter of the target system. ie sid should be there in the name of the archive files.
One more thing if u wish to keep the target DB in sync with the source DB then u would need to apply all the archive files generated after the online backup was taken.
Make sure to open the database in resetlogs mode
In short the steps wud be as follows.
1. Issue the following in ur source system
alter database backup controlfile to trace ; .
2.Modify the .trc file as below created under usertrace directory which generally shud be /oracle/SID/saptrace/usertrace
a. CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE "Target_SID" NORESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG
b.The directory structures of the redo log and datafiles as per the directory structure available in ur target system.
c.Remove all other lines from the file ur file should end with like character set ...;
d. Save the file as something.sql and copy it to the target system.
3. Restore the online backup on the target system ...don't need to restore the redo log files.
Also copy the archive file from the source system to the target system and rename them as per target system.
4. In the target system connect as sysdba
SQL> startup nomount
SQL> @something.sql
It wud say control file created and the DB will be mounted .
5. Now issue the command
Recover database using backup controlfile;
Apply the archives when done issue the following
alter database open resetlogs;

Restore hot online backup without redolog file

Dear
I had taken a online backup (begin / end tablespace) of all datafiles. Before end backup I had taken backup of current controlfile with O/S command.
Now, I want to restore this backup.
I have only :
datafiles (taken with begin / end backup)
controlfile (taken during begin / end backup)
Archive Log (from backup to up till now)
What steps I have to take for recovery with missing redolog files.
