Offline disk backup

i want to take full offline disk backup on mount point /bakoffline with the help of brtools.
how can i do this. plz help.

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.
Regards,
Ramesh

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

    go read http://help.sap.com/saphelp_45b/helpdata/en/0d/d311324a0c11d182b80000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
    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.

    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.

  • Offline & online backups????

    Hi all,
             Why are the advantages & disadvantages of offline & online backups??

    Hi Ravi,
    Joydeep has described it very well.
    Just to add a bit:
    If you are wondering what happens to the online redo log files while the online backup is running:
    <i>During online backup, BRBACKUP does not backup the online redo log files. Instead, BRBACKUP generates online redo log switches so that all the online redo log files written during the online backup are copied into the archive directory. These offline redo log files then need to be backed up, since an online backup is consistent only in conjunction with these redo log files. The BRARCHIVE program backs up the offline redo log files.</i>
    So the idea that during an online backup some redo files might be missed, is explained from the above paragraph.
    Regards,
    Loukas

  • RMAN CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET;

    I configure this , How i can clear this ?
    CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET;

    I assume you would have tried
    CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK CLEAR;(as described in the documentation) before asking the question.
    What about this does not work for you?

  • Option for cpio an offline DB Backup

    Hi, I like to know which options are available for performing a clean (no fuzzy bits, no problem !) cpio for an offline database backup, you know: datafiles, redo log files, control files, etc.).
    On Unix you would code a script with a combination of find and cpio commands. This would also apply to Linux. I need to know which specific options of cpio (-ocv ...) are require for this clean and safe backup.
    Thanks ....!

    Sorry. I do have the error
    cpio: xxxxxx "valor demasiado grande para el tipo de datos definido. Which translate to something like : value to large for the specified data type.

    There is one big advantage of a clone.  You can immediately reboot
    to it and continue working and deal with the regular boot drive faiure,
    what ever it may be, later.  Especially since all your data and such
    is on another drive.  If you use your computer for work and time
    critical projects, this is a major plus!
    In the case of a hard drive failure/replacement, copying the clone
    to the drive is the fastest way to get the system and all your settings
    back.
    Time Machine and incremental backups have a place as well.  It is best
    suited for "incremental" problems.  Examples are installing an upgrade to
    software that doesn't work or just don't plain like.  With Time Machine it
    is easy to just restore back to the point before the install.
    Something else I do is backup current project files to USB memory sticks.
    If you are using your computer for business, you can never have too many
    backups.  Coralllary 456 of Murphy's Law is the "number of backups that
    you need will be one more than what you have!"

  • Disk backup support

    Hi. It's me again.
    I'm reading the b14234.pdf document.
    At page 19 there is a table indicating that disk backups are not supported with Secure Backup. This table is OK?
    Thanks a lot.
    HeCSa.

    OSB is a tape management software integrated in oracle. It is true that you can allocate channel from RMAN to tape as well as disk but to use tape you must use some tape management software and here OSB comes into picture AND if you dont want your backups on tape then you can simply take the backups using RMAN on disk without using OSB. In short whenever you need tape backups you need OSB or some other Media Management Layer (MML).

  • Disk Backup Location settings

    Hi all
    In EM I have set the Disk backup location setting to G:\Backup and in RMAN at the command line I can see that CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT 'G:\Backup\%U';
    However when I run the command BACKUP DATABASE the backup is still generated in the Fast Recovery Area that it was originally set to.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks

    ThanksMay be you did not apply this setting.So connect database with RMAN and SHOW ALL then execute BACKUP DATABASE after that copy all results(including SHOW ALL) and paste here.
