Heterogenous Backup/Restore (HPUX to Windows)

Dear all,
Is there a possibility to backup a SAPDB 7.3 database on HPUX and restore to a windows 2003 Server (32Bit)?
I tried this while a migration of an old SAP Content-Server but the restore aborts with the following message:
dbmcli on MFK>util_execute INIT CONFIG
OK
dbmcli on MFK>recover_start umzugMFK
ERR
-24988,ERR_SQL: sql error
-9033,Message not available,bad restart record
How can I get my Content-Server to windows?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards Sascha

Hello Sascha,
Please pay attention that you can only import backups of the database instance into systems  
where the processor works with the same byte-assortment (Little  Endian -> Little Endian;
Big Endian -> Big Endian). The SAP Note 552464  describes the permitted combinations.
Please overview the SAP notes::
552464                What is Big Endian / Little Endian? What Endian do I have?

Thank you and best regards, Natalia Khlopina

  • Dell DataSafe vs Windows 7 Backup & restore

    I bought a Dell I620. I made 3 disks using Dell's DataSafe program. I used DVD+R disks for that. I'm hearing that DVD
    disks are not that reliable. I plan eventually to get a Ext HD, because they have come down a lot in cost. Until then, what
    type of disks should I use for backups?
    I'm wondering too, is it better to use the Dell DataSafe program, or Windows Backup & Restore. In Windows Backup & Restore, after making the system repair disk, there are two choices: Image and Full Backup. Which is better and is there
    a way to estimate the size of the file that I have to store on disks. 

    DVD disc are not that reliable for a few reasons. One of them is that the surface that the data is burned into is a bio matter and can degrade over time. Two scratches can screw event he best dvd up. Three your computer could have possible burned the disc wrong and you will never know it untill you need them. With all that said you should be good in the 8-9 year mark on dvd's. If you still worried an external HDD ( or hard drive) is a good way to go as it thumb drive. When backing your stuff up redundancy is key, especially when it comes to family photo's and tax returns. Trust me the last thing you want to do is pay GeekSquad a 100 bucks for a data recovery. I would suggest biting the bullet and buy 2 1tb external drives and a package of dvd's. Back everything up to one drive then copy and past over to the next drive. Any tax returns and pictures you cant live with out burn to the dvd's as well. Keep this data in seperate locations ie away from your computer, safety deposit box, someone else house ect. the last thing you want to do is have a house fire and loose your stuff anyway.
    as far as part two............
    I personaly dont use any of that. Once I have my recovery disc made any data i need to save i keep on externals. If my computer craps the bed i can just reload it if i cant fix it. ........... reloading is cheaper and easier then paying geeksquad 200 bucks for an automated virus removal. 
    Hope this helps and sorry if it was hard to read.

  • RMAN restore from hpux to windows

    Friends,
    DB Version 10.2
    Is it possible to restore rman backup taken on hpux to windows?
    thnks

    Hi!
    Yes it is possible to restore and convert backups from one platform to another. What you've to do is:
    1.) Use the RMAN CONVERT-Command on hpux to convert your datafiles into windows format. For informations about CONVERT look here(http://www.youngcow.net/doc/oracle10g/backup.102/b14191/dbxptrn001.htm)
    2.) Backup the converted datafiles.
    3.) Restore your backup on windows.
    Hope this helps!

    I've recently found out that Backup & Restore is not supported by Vista 64-bit.  So, all the backups that did not complete and  has the error message (0x8007002), all the backups are of no use.  All of my documents, pictures, music, original
    music materials, etc., are all gone.  Can't even open the error-ed backups!  Can my system be restore to it's original settings before the backup fiasco?  I am at a lost to what can be done!

  • Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit Full PC Backup/Restore

    I have created a Complete PC Backup supplied in Windows Vista 64bit Ultimate for my HP Pavillion dv5, but I am unable to find a way via the Restore Manager to restore the image file.
    In the Restore Manager suite there are only options to restore to a previous Windows restore point.
    I have applications and data in the Complete PC Backup that I want to restore.
    I have tried to find a similar function in the Restore Manager suite, but it only has the backing up of files; no Complete PC Backup.
    Now I am stuck, unable to restore my former PC.
    What can I do?  Any suggestions?

    Take a read of this thread.
    BTW.. did you mean Recovery manager instead of restore manager? 
    Windows has system restore.
    Cyberlink has recovery manager.
    The two are apples and oranges.

  • The backup and restore function in windows 8.1 seems is changed!

    hi,
    I don't see the real backup and restore function in windows8.1 .
    I have  in search entered  backup and I see some other things
    thanks

    Here's an article that will help:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/what-happened-to-backup-restore
    In previous versions of Windows, you could use Backup and Restore to back up your files or create and use a system image backup or repair disc.
    Windows 8.1 gives you choices about how you can recover your PC and back up your personal files.
    Reset or refresh your PC
    If you’re having a problem with your PC, you can refresh Windows without losing your photos, music, videos, and other personal files. You can also start over by resetting it to factory settings. For more info, see
    How to refresh, reset, or restore your PC.
    Back up or restore personal files
    You can use File History to back up the files on your PC in the Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos, and Desktop folders. Over time, File History builds a history of your files. You'll first need to set up a File History drive and turn File History on. For
    more info, see
    Set up a drive for File History. If your original files are lost, damaged, or deleted, you can restore them. You can also browse and restore different versions of your files. For more info, see
    Restore files or folders using File History.
    Use System Image Backup
    You can use System Image Backup like you did in previous verison of Windows.
    To open System Image Backup
    Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search.
    (If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, and then click
    Search.)
    Enter File History in the search box, tap or click File History, and then click
    System Image Backup.

  • By mistake I ran Windows Backup/Restore with SAP services on  URGENT

    Dear all
    What I did by mistake I ran Windows Backup/Restore with SAP services on (I stopped win sql services and SAP instance).
    After restore under same circumstances I could not start istance (actually it started but after connect with saplogon dispetcher stopped).
    When trying to restore 2nd time(with deleted AFGDATA1,AFGDATA2, AFGDATA3 , AFGLOG and usr under c:\ I realized I can not delete C:/usr directory (with subdrectories) as SAP services were locking some files. (i stopped services and deleted those files I have them in rcycle bin),
    Can I somehow restore the system

    Hello Tina,
    - what is the status of SAP service? can you start it? If not, what is written in application event log?
    - If service can be started, are you able to start SAP system? If not, what is written in sapstartsrv.log, dev_disp and dev_w0, could you put output of them?
    - which files exactly have you deleted?
    I afraid that the locked files were not backup and they will not be restored in this case. Further steps depend on what the files you have deleted.

  • DB2 Migration from Windows - Linux supported with Backup/Restore ?

    Hi folks,
    we have to do a DB2 V9.1 migration from Windows -> Linux. Both servers are Intel based. Is it official supported by SAP to do this without SAP migration tools? E.g. with a backup/restore or redirected restore? I heard about it, but i'm not sure.
    Thanks a lot
    Jochen
    Edited by: Jochen Raab on Mar 1, 2010 5:40 PM

    Hi Jochen,
    Please have a look at the DB2 docu.
    http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9r7/topic/com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.ha.doc/doc/c0005960.html
    It clearly stats that Linux and Windows are not compatible.
    DB2® database systems support some backup and restore operations between different operating systems and hardware platforms.
    The supported platforms for DB2 backup and restore operations can be grouped into one of three families:
    Big-endian Linux® and UNIX®
    Little-endian Linux and UNIX
    Windows®
    A database backup from one platform family can only be restored on any system within the same platform family. For Windows operating systems, you can restore a database created on DB2 Universal Database (UDB) V8 on a DB2 Version 9 database system. For Linux and UNIX operating systems, as long as the endianness (big endian or little endian) of the backup and restore platforms is the same, you can restore backups that were produced on DB2 UDB V8 on DB2 Version 9.
    So you need to do an eport/import.

  • How do I get back the songs lost from a restore of the Windows 7 system ?

  • Backup restoring procedure in system9

    anybody has documents or links which talks about backup / restore complete system9 products . ?

    Hi,
    I tell what I usually do.
    I have EssBase and its apps in a server, and SharedServices in another one, so that, I have to do different backups.
    First, make a Full backup for the ...\Hyperion folder with any backup tool (ntbackup and/or veritas in my case) and then, differential backups.
    In the other server a use a script to make local copies of the SharedServices folder to mantain 1 copy per day.
    On the other hand, you have to backup you SQL bases. I use de ms SQLServer tool for that.
    This is a copy of my script to backup SharedServices (anyone who "lost" OpenLDAP service knows what I'm talking about..) that I scheduled to run every day. Please note that SharedServices has its own script to backup the directory, and it works fine.
    ++NOTE: %HYPBKP% is a system variable that I set in windows
    echo "OPENLDAP Backup Log File" >SS_BKP.log
    echo "######################" >>SS_BKP.log
    Date /T >>SS_BKP.log
    Time /T >>SS_BKP.log
    echo "######################" >>SS_BKP.log
    cd %HYPBKP%
    RMDIR /S /Q SharedServices-OLD
    REN SharedServices-7 SharedServices-OLD
    REN SharedServices-6 SharedServices-7
    REN SharedServices-5 SharedServices-6
    REN SharedServices-4 SharedServices-5
    REN SharedServices-3 SharedServices-4
    REN SharedServices-2 SharedServices-3
    REN SharedServices-1 SharedServices-2
    REN SharedServices SharedServices-1
    c:\Hyperion\SharedServices\9.3\server\scripts\backup.bat %HYPBKP%\SharedServices
    I hope this help you.
    Good luck

  • I ran a System Restore on my Windows XP notebook and now iTunes won't open. It says something about my "iTunes library being created in a new version of iTunes".

    I ran a System Restore in my Windows XP notebook and now iTunes will not open. The message: The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. What can I do about this?

    Depending on the iTunes settings and where the music is downloaded from, by default, it is stored in C:\...\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\. So, if you need to backup, that would be the folder you want to grab.
    However, uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes doesn't affect that folder, so if you have to remove and reinstall it you should not lose any music (although backups are always a good idea).
    In reinstalling, I'd recommend opening your Control Panel and going into Add or Remove Programs, and removing the following:
    1. Apple Mobile Device Support
    2. Apple Software Update
    3. Bonjour
    4. iPod for Windows (if it exists)
    5. iTunes
    6. QuickTime
    Then, restart the computer, and download/install iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/. This should ensure that the appropriate version of all related software is installed, and everything is in sync.

  • Erase and sync issues (backup/restore)

    Hello.
    I have an issue with the backup/restore with my iPhone.
    Sometimes, it is difficult to find an answer that fits your problem exactly on the forum!  Lots of good stuff though!
    This post will be little longer than normal, but I need to get all the facts on the table.
    I'll try to keep this brief.  Please hear me out!
    From another post ...
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/12273122
    Kwopau stated ...
    if you do a restore, you only have 2 options, Restore as new, meaning nothing will go on it
    and you will just have to start fresh and no contacts will go in there.
    The other option is "Restore from Back up _______" it will completely restore your phone
    from your last back up and everything will be on there.
    End of quote ...
    Here is my situation.
    I have a 3g 16GB iPhone.
    I am still running IOS 3 (not IOS 4).
    I do not use sync.  I  manually manage the music and books with iTunes.
    I have an HP laptop.
    A while ago, I had to completely rebuild the computer.
    The computer has a new computer and user name (I don't know if this matters in iTune/iPhone matchup)?
    I have not been able to connect the iPhone since then.
    Let me rephrase that.
    I can connect with iTunes.  I can see all that is on the iPhone.
    When I try to add or delete music or books on the iPhone with iTunes or set the manually manage check box, I get the following message ...
    The iPhone "myname's iPhone" is synced with another iTunes library.
    Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with the this iTunes library.
    Most commands appear to be grayed  out,  I can't add or delete anything.
    I do not have anything in current  iTunes library at the moment. 
    My fear is this.
    If I do the erase and sync as suggested  (iPhone message above) to the iPhone and then use the new iTunes library,  will I be able to use the backup (I just created) to restore to the iPhone that I just reset?
    If so, will it have contacts and all the other stuff?
    I can afford to lose the music and books, and perhaps the apps on the iPhone.
    I cannot afford to lose my contact list.
    I need to find another way to backup the contact list, Outlook, etc?
    If there other posts relative to this, please point me to them.
    I am afraid to pull the trigger for fear that iTunes will not recognize the iPhone after the erase and sync and then not allow me to restore.
    Perhaps someone can put my mind at ease and convince me that it will all be good if I proceed!
    Thanks for you time and help in this matter ...
    Bob

    Do you know how to transfer purchases? Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes. Click on the iPad nema on the left side of the iTunes window to select it. Then go to File>Transfer Purchases. That should put all of your purchased iPad content into the iTunes library on the PC.
    Here are instructions in a very short, easy to follow article.
    Transfer iTunes Library to a new computer
    This discussion will be helpful to show you how to make the PC work wTunes from the iPad.

    https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
    What puzzles me is that if you had updated with the PC, I would have thought that you would have backed up and synced with that PC as well, but read the articles and instructions and post back with questions.
    You can email the pdf files to the iPad, or use iOS file sharing, and open and save them in iBooks or another pdf reader app, but start with getting your stuff onto the PC.
