How to decompress the compressed backup files in BRTOOLS

Hi Friends,
I am new to SAP Technologies,.When i take offline backup,I took backup in compression mode instead of taking backup in Initialization of BRBACKUP tape volumes.Below i have attached the mistakes i did from log files.Please also tell me where the compressed files stored,bec i didnt mention any tape volumes and tape names.Can we decompress the backuped files without restoring?Please help me..
BRBACKUP options for determination of compression rates
1 - BRBACKUP profile (profile) ...... [initDV1.sap]
2 - Database user/password (user) ... [/]
3 - BRBACKUP run type (type) ........ [offline]
4 ~ Files for compression (mode) .... [all]
5 - Confirmation mode (confirm) ..... [yes]
6 - Query mode (query) .............. [no]
7 - Parallel execution (execute) .... [0]
8 - Additional output (output) ...... [no]
9 - Message language (language) ..... [E]
10 - BRBACKUP command line (command) . [-p initDV1.sap -k only -t offline -m all -e 0 -l E]

Hi,
you did not backup anything at all.
-k only
just calculates the compression ratio, so that brbackup is able to calculate the required tape swaps.
So with "compress_only" no real backup had been done!
Sorry, you'll have to redo that with "-k yes" and write to a device (-d tape)

  • How do I stop a copy of backup files? Time Machine filled my extern HD, I bought a 2TB, drag and drop the old backup files and now my iMac has been stuck in "preparing copy" mode all night.

    My 235 MB external HD was full, I bought a new 2TB and dragged and dropped the old backup files to it. Now my iMac is frozen in "preparing copy" mode.  How can I 'unfreeze' it? How should I move the backup files from one external HD to the other?

    This has been answered here so may times (especially by pondini, e.g. in this thread Time Machine stuck in repeating "preparing files" cycle), so please search this forum the next time before asking such a question.

  • I backed up my ipod during a windows backup.  how do i find those ipod files(not itunes) in the windows backup files? i've tried searching and i can't find

    i backed up my ipod during a windows backup.  how do i find those ipod files(not itunes) in the windows backup files? i've tried searching and i can't find

    so i plugged in my ipod and it asked if i wanted to backup the files before restoring it. 
    Do you mean iTunes asked if you wanted to backup files before restoring? If so the it is in the location I posted. You don't need to navigate to the backup. Once your restore your iPod it will ask if you want to restore from a backup and present you with the backups made before hand.
    To restore information from a backup, use one of the following methods after connecting your iOS device to the computer with which you normally sync:
    -Click the File menu and select Devices > Restore from Back up.
    Or
    -Open the iOS device's Summary tab. There are two ways to access this:
    -Click the device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper right corner. The device button will then be visible.)
    -From any view in iTunes, click the View menu and select Show Sidebar. Select your iOS device in iTunes under Devices.
    -Click the Restore Backup button.

  • Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?

    Ok this is bizzare!
    Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
    So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
    AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
    I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :(

    Tell iTunes which of the available backup files to use, let iTunes restore it.

  • How can I copy the iPhone backup files to another iTunes Library?

    I'm changing to my Window laptop from a PC. I want to copy my iPhone backup to the Library in the laptop. How can I find those backup files? I don't want to lose my apps and everything, you know.

    This article will tell you where your iPhone backup is stored on your computer:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946 iTunes content is NOT part of the iPhone backup. You can either copy your iTunes library to your new computer, or you can re-download your purchased iTunes content(except ringtones) to your new computer; http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527

    Can't back up my Iphone5 to my macbook pro, it tells me it may be corrupted, also I don't know how to delete the old backup to redo it

    Hi Caveman337,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The resource below will explain how to delete an old iTunes backup.  Before you do this, I would suggest creating an iCloud backup of your iPhone. 
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203977
    Back up using iCloud
    If you're using iCloud, it can automatically back up your content. Use these steps to turn on iCloud Backup:
    Tap Settings > iCloud > Backup. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
    Tap iCloud Backup to turn it on.
    Tap Back Up Now.
    After you turn on iCloud Backup, iCloud will back up your content automatically. You can return to this screen to see when the last back up happened.
    Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/ht4946
    Where your backups are stored
    The folder where your backup data is stored depends on your computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your data-backup routine. iTunes places the backup files in these places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your Home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
    Delete a backup
    If you want to delete a backup created by iTunes:
    Open iTunes Preferences:
    Mac: Choose iTunes > Preferences.
    Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences. Learn how to turn on menus in Windows 7 and 8.
    Click Devices. (The iOS device doesn't need to be connected.)
    iTunes will show the phone number, International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number, and serial number of the backed up iPhone when you position your mouse pointer over a backup. (Only the serial number will be shown for iPad and iPod touch). You can use this to find the backup you want to delete.
    Select the backup you want to remove.
    Click Delete Backup.
    When prompted, confirm that you want to remove the selected backup by clicking Delete Backup.
    Click OK to close the iTunes Preferences Window.
    Backups that have a date and time stamp in the backup name are copies of backups created by restoring the iOS device. The date and time in the left column are when the restore-from-backup occurred. The date and time in the right column are the last synced date; this shows how current the data is.
    I hope this information helps ....

  • How to set the Rman backup parameter.

    Hi,
    Can U guide me how to set the Rman backup path,control file auto backup & others parameter.

    Hi,
    Go through this,
    Show all configurable settings:
    RMAN>SHOW ALL;
    Write disk backups to the /rmanback directory: (%U will be replaced with unique filenames)
    RMAN> CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/rmanback/%U';
    Backup using a flash recovery area rather than disk
    RMAN> CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT CLEAR;
    Configure RMAN to back up the control file after each backup
    RMAN> CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
    By default, RMAN automatically names control file backups and stores them in the flashrecovery area.
    To configure RMAN to write control file backups to the /backup directory:( %F will generate a unique filename)
    RMAN> CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/backup/controlfile%F';
    Ensure that RMAN retains all backups needed to recover the database to any point in time in the last 7 days:
    RMAN> CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 7 DAYS;
    Retain three backups of each datafile:
    RMAN> CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 3;
    Delete backups no longer required by the retention policy:
    RMAN> DELETE OBSOLETE;
    To override the configured retention policy for individual backups - use BACKUP.. KEEP (or CHANGE.. KEEP)
    Configure backups to run in parallel by assigning two sbt channels:
    RMAN> CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE sbt PARALLELISM 2;
    Reset any CONFIGURE setting to its default by running the command with the CLEAR option
    RMAN> CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE sbt CLEAR;
    RMAN> CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY CLEAR;

  • How do I transfer "device backup files" to a new computer?

    How do I transfer "device backup files" to a new computer?

    Place the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder.  If there's no iWeb folder create one and put it in there.  Now try to launch iWeb and see if it will find and open the Domain file.
    If you still can't open the domain file do the following:
    To open your domain file in Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script"/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"
    delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
    NOTE: Since Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For Mavericks and Yosemite go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
