Hi All,
I become successful in taking offline backup, but I got following problems
1. Unable to take offline backup when SAP is running.
- Brtools is unable to stopdb
2. Unable to take online backup
- log is showing
"cp /oracle/SID/sapdata2/sr3_1/sr3.data1 /sapbackup/bectbizf/sr3.data1 failed"
I changed ownership of my /sapbackup directory from root to oraSID:dba, I provided full permission to this folder also.
I tried to execute above command manually then system saying invalid parameter line..even I can't copy this data file to tmp directory also. I tried to copy by root, sidadm and orasid but no success.
Finally I stopped SAP, then I executed offline backup...then brtool started the backup activity.
But this process doesn't make sence while considering first problem.
I am unable to track...why brtools is unable to stopdb for offline backup and why I am unable to take online backup.
In my solman (which is based on windows), I am able to take online / offline backup by using brtools without error, but in Development (on AIX) its nt happenin
Any more guidline will be very helpful.
Thanks in Advance.

I am trying to do a full Time Machine Backup to a new external disk. The backup starts, and it says "Time remaining about 4 days." That seems like a very long time, but the real problem is that the computer "logs off" after a few hours, and the b.u. stops

I am trying to do a full Time Machine Backup to a new external disk. The backup starts, and it says "Time remaining about 4 days." That seems like a very long time, but the real problem is that the computer "logs off" after a few hours, and the backup stops. The system preferences are set to "Never" for Computer sleep and Display sleep. The computer does not ordinarily log off automatically, but it has done this twice since I started the Time Machine backup.

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard." Note the timestamp of the last such message. Clear the text field and scroll back in the log to that time. Select the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.
If all you see are messages that contain the word "Starting," you didn't clear the search box.

Full (Level 0) backup to local/NFS disk

I am new to SAP's BR*Tools, and need advice in configuring it to use RMAN.
1. My backups are to be written to a staging area on our SAN.
2. What specific parameters do I need to configure in the initSID.sap file to achive Full (Level 0) backup to local/NFS disk - preferably using RMAN?
3. I have successfully performed a Full (Level 0) backup without RMAN to local disk. Also, I have successfully done an incremental (Level 1) backup using BRTools with RMAN. I want to get BRTools + RMAN based Full (Level 0) backup to local/NFS disk.
--VJ

You need to set the values for the following.
tape_address
archive_copy_dir
tape_size =
backup_mode =
backup_dev_type =
backup_type =
backup_root_dir
volume_archive
volume_backup
tape_pos_cmd

SAP Full Offline Backup Problem

Hi all,
I am a newbie to SAP.
I was attempting an Full Offline Backup through the DB13 transaction.
SAP is installed in a RHEL Cluster with Oracle DB 10gR2.
Because of Cluster Operation the Full Offline Backup is not performed successfully because when Oracle DB is shutdown during backup in the first node, the cluster automatically raises the service in the 2nd node and after copying files when the DB is tried to start on the first node it raises an error.
Is there a manner to notify also the other cluster nodes about the Full Offline backup in order not to start the DB and to perform the backup successfully.
Drini

No I want to schedule the offline backup to a regular intervals for example once a month
Can this cluster monitoring be scheduled automatically from SAP or can SAP notify Linux Cluster not to treat this as an "Oracle Down" situation but as a mainteinance in order not to start the Oracle to the other cluster node.
Best Regards,
Drini

What can I safely delete/move from full startup disk?

I have a full startup disk running both 9.2 and 10.3.9. I have a back up external hard drive (and about to add another). What has to stay on the startup disk...this "root" thing I keep hearing about? Can the Previous Systems folder be dragged to the trash? Can the Applications Folders (OSX) and the Applications Folder and Desktop (OS9) be copied to the external hard drive. What Library Folders have to stay. Any help would be greatly appreciated by this non-geek.
Thanks!

Welcome to Discussions.
If you have a FireWire external drive you can backup your entire internal HDD to the FW drive. I would suggest using Carbon Copy Cloner. First go to Preferences in CCC and check the boxes to make bootable, repair permissions and synchronization. Then Clone your entire drive. You can now use your external HDD as a startup drive.
Instead of trying to recover space on your 10 GB internal HDD by deleting items, I would suggest installing a larger HDD. They are relatively inexpensive and will be a more lasting solution to your space issues.
I recently installed a 100 GB drive and it has not only given me more storage capacity, but it has increased performance both in speed and stability. Using an internal with lots of space as the startup helps prevent crashes due to overlapping volume structures and immproves performance by allowing more room for virtual memory. The newer drives are also faster: you can choose between 5400 rpm and 7200 rpm.
When you are ready to install a new internal HDD you just clone your FW HDD back to the new drive.
Post back with further questions or comments.
Good luck.

Significance of SAP offline DB backup

Dear SAP Gurus,
Our SAP sites are running 24 x 7. We are regularly taking the online backup and the oracle offline redo log files backup.
We would like to know, is it required to take the full offline backup of DB? What SAP reccomends about offline backup in Production environment.
Regards,

Offlie backup is asked to take because you have to just restore the system you can do it with the help of an offlien backup only.
Online backup ca only help you to restore if you have archive logs also.So if you miss a sequence of archive logs you shall not able to restore the system back.
When you have offline backup youhave the backup of the database in all comitted state.
So if you have offlien backup the risk reduces.
Thanks

Trying take whole offline db backup : Error no free space

Hi,
In our Quality system I am trying take whole offline db backup ( with out redo logs). In the log file found the error saying there is no free space in the Drive:I:\orace\SID\sapbackup.minimum 27246.161mb( i think it is 27GB) required. But actually total drive (I) space is 59.5GB and free space is 59.3GB. Suggest me how to resolve this.
windows os, oracle 9.2.0 SAP: ECC5.0.
one more thing... our QAS db is running in No Archive log mode. In db12 I do observe that overview of redolog files not yet backed up are 300.when I schedule only redolog backup in DB13 i am getting error message no offline redolog files found for processing. but in db12 showing 300redo log files. How can I take redo log backup. Is this bcoz of db is in Noarchive log mode. plz suggest. In initsid.ora file parameter is showing logarchive_start= true. but in SQL> i queried the log_mode , i got Noarchive log. Is there any way to change the db to Archive mode.( if we bring db from open status to mount , we can change the db log mode) without downing the SAP.
Please suggest.
thanks

You can take the backup on External Backup device like Tape Or Disk. To do so you have to change the below parameters in init<SID>.sap profile file.
backup_type = offline
backup_dev_type = Disk (Default---> Tape)
backup_root_dir = <Path For Backup Directory> (Default --->$SAPDATA_HOME/sapbackup)
OR Only Change the parameter
backup_root_dir =Give <drive:\directory> path on which the required sapce is available. (Default --->$SAPDATA_HOME/sapbackup)
one more thing... our QAS db is running in No Archive log mode. when I schedule only redolog backup in DB13 i am getting error message no offline redolog files found for processing. but in db12 showing 300redo log files. .
As your databse is running on No Archive Log Mode (As per SAP Best Pactices your database should run in archive log mode) the offline redolog files are not generated so dont worry about this error.
Experts please correct me if I am wrong.

As suggested before change the Archive Log mode using BR*tools & Restart is require to take effect.

How to take remote disk backup on AIX

Dear All,
I want to take a disk backup of our Development system. I will take the backup on an USB external HDD
which is connected to a Windows XP system. Both the Windows XP and DEV system are on same local network. The external HDD has NTFS file system and has been shared. The server is on AIX 5.3 with oracle 10.2.0.1 with SAP ECC 6.0. Since I am new to AIX Operating System and have little knowledge about AIX, I am unable to access the shared disk in my AIX box. Once I will able to access the shared disk in the AIX system i.e. in the Development server and then only I can configure the corresponding file at SAP level and could take the backup. Please help me how to access the corresponding shared disk from AIX and what configuration I have to do at SAP level for taking disk backup.

Samir

Macbook pro won't boot and when I tried to back up the hard drive I got "disk utility can't repair this disk backup as many of your files as possible"

My macbook pro froze and initially would not even recognize the power chord. Now it charges, but will not load up. I opened in in disk utility to try and back it up so that I could take it to apple to have it fixed but I got the message that said "disk utility can't repair this disk backup as many of your files as possible". How do I back up the files???

Nichelle215,
you can try the method described on this Apple page, in the “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility” section. (You can skip step 6, since you already know that your disk is irreparable.) Note, however, that this method is not guaranteed to work. Once you get your disk straightened out, you might consider purchasing an external hard disk for use as a Time Machine backup destination, so that a similar problem in the future won’t wipe out the only copy of your files.

Low Network Utilization in Remote Disk Backup via SAP FTP

Hi gurus,
I'm running whole online backup + redo log to backup my SAP server to backup server via SAPFTP (remote disk backup).
I'm using 100Mbps network connection between the two servers, with SAP server configured to 'maximize data throughput for network application'.
When I copy data from SAP Server to backup server manually, the speed is OK (around 98% network utilization).
But when I use put command in program RSFTP002 (SAPFTP) for the same file, the network utilization is just around 10%.
I use Windows Server 2003 x64 for SAP Server, and Windows Server 2008 x64 for Backup Server.
Each has adequate RAM, 8GB for SAP Server and 4GB for Backup Server.
Is this technical problem or is it because backup is considered background process, thus lowering its speed?
Help will be very much appreciated.

it's old but should help you nonetheless.
I would not use SAPFTP as you found out, it is slow.
use DD instead which is much faster.

Disk backup command in iTunes 10.4 for Windows?

I've installed iTunes 10.4.0.80 in my Windows XP desktop.
Iwant to backup my library on DVD, but I cannot retrieve the Disk Backup command.
On previous ersions it was under File --> Library, where is it now?

This procedure posted by rodfromnewark on another thread worked for me (thank you rod!):
For PC users, before reinstalling, try this:
Start-> Programs -> Accessories -> (Right Click On Command Prompt) ->Run as Administrator
then type in:
netsh winsock reset
hit enter, restart PC, open iTunes. Hopefully fixed.

Is anybody using RDX Removable Disk Backup System

I´m sorry, this a new post about an old discussion but I would like to start a fresh dialogue for today; 2011.
Is anybody using RDX Removable Disk Backup System (with or without T.Machine).
An affordable alternative to LTO tape? Proved compatibility with Mac OS?
Is it possible to insert a RDX drive as a second optic unit inside a Mac Pro?
Any happy RDX+mac user, so far?
Thanks.

I'm not using RDX on a Mac, but I do have one client I'm using RDX for a Windows server. While RDX is somewhat cost effective over LTO/Ultrium, IMHO it probably wouldnt' be the best for Time Machine. Time Machine expects the previous backup to be online and if you switch cartridges, TM would have to create a new backup from scratch. Then if you switch back the cartridges, your TM bundles are out of sync. I'm not saying it's not possible, but that this is not the "normal" way TM works. So you need to understand what you need to do if you were planning to switch cartridges. (If you weren't planning to switch cartridges, then a "normal" external or internal hard drive is more cost effective than RDX.)
RDX cartridges are basically 2.5" SATA hard drives. The RDX "drive" is, for the most part, just a SATA to USB converter. (Or SATA to eSATA or whatever interface you get.) On the PC the advantage is that you don't have to "safely remove hardware" and you don't lose the drive letter. On the Mac, a "normal" external hard drive is almost as convinient as RDX, since there's no drive letter to worry about. The RDX's advantage on the Mac would be not having to plug/unplug a USB cable on the external units. I suppose you could get an internal eSATA RDX to put into a Mac. I don't know of anyone doing that.
I did use my client's USB RDX drive on his Macbook, just to see what we could do with it. While it worked, we didn't do extensive testing so I can't comment on long term satisfaction with OSX. But so far it's been reliable with Windows for almost two years. (Windows Server 2008 with Backup Exec 2010.) However since RDX is basically just a hard drive, I've gotten the client to realize that in a year or two, we'll probably have to start replacing cartridges, assuming his data size doesn't grow beyond the RDX capacity. This is based on the assumption that the RDX cartridges would have similar longevity to laptop hard drives, which have 3-5 year warranties. We probably will get more lifespan than that, but better to have the client plan in the budget now, rather than have backups fail.

Full hard disk test Error

Hello.
my notebook has recently some startup problems, either during bios startup (led blinks twice) or while loading Windows. The problem seems to happen especially the first time I switch it on during the day, when I have to try 6-10 times before it starts correctly.
I have reinstalled the operating system and nothing changed. I have performed System diagnostic and I had an error on the Full Hard Disk Test:
9AM66W-53S7G3-XD0021-61EC03
all other tests have passed.
