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.

Online Backup is needed everyday??

Hello All,
For our ECC 6.0 System,OS=HP UNIX,Database=Oracle 9i
We are taking only Offline backup everyday...No Online backup is taken.Can we restore the system completely if it crashes??Is there any necessity to take the Online Backup daily??But we are taking File system Backup everyday from HP-Unix.What startegy is followed for SAP Best practise??

Hi,
back into the purpose of the backup : enable to restore data to its latest stable condition while system or database is crashed.
backup offline : you can restore database back only until the latest offline backup.
say you are doing the last offline backup on Dec 1, 2009, so if your system is crash now, you can only bring your system back to Dec 1, 2009. No matter if you are have full-set of archivelog, it will useless.
backup online : you can restore database back until the last archivelog you can save before crash.
say you are doing the last online backup this morning and regularly backup your archive log, so if your system is crash now, you can restore your online backup followed by applying your saved archivelog to bring your database to the latest condition (equivalent to the last archivelog you have). say the last online backup is 5AM this morning, and you backup archivelog every hour, and on on 7.15AM system is crash, you can restore online backup taken on 5AM, plus restoring (applying) archivelog on 6AM and 7AM, and then bring your database up. in this case, you may lost data from 7AM to 7.15AM if archivelog created during this time can't be save (during system/database crash). if you have enough time to save archivelog created between 7AM and 7.15AM, you can prevent or minimize data loss.
suggestion for you :
offline backup : once a week
online backup : once a day
archivelog oracle backup : every hour (or depends on how many archivelog created per hour on your system)
filesystem (vg00 or internal disk) backup : once a month, before applying patch and after applying patch
compared to our system:
offline backup : once a month (due to huge database we have)
online backup : once a day
archivelog oracle backup : every hour
filesystem (vg00 or internal disk) backup : once a month, before applying patch and after applying patch
remember, online backup without archivelog backup (on Oracle system) is nothing.
and filesystem (vg00 or internal disk) backup (usually using ignite backup) is important to maintain stable version of filesystem (vg00 or internal disk) which contain OS (HPUX) and other important files not stored on external storage.
hope it help you,

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
BUD

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.

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.

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 Procedure - online backup

Dear all,
Our BI QA system got crashed and hence we need to restore the SAP on
the same machine , we have online backup.
Can any advise on the restore & recovery methods with the online backup.
Kindly provide Restore Steps .
Kindly suggest
Thanks & Regards,

1: stop the database and SAP services running under <sidadm> and <orasid> users.
2: Empty your sapdatas
     u2022 cd /oracle/<SID>
     u2022 rm u2013r sapdata*
3: Delete control files from all of its three locations (whereever presents)
     u2022 cd /oracle/<SID>/cntrl
     u2022 rm *.dbf
4: confirm the name and presence of online backup logfile ( *.anf ) in sapbackup dir.
   and same for arch<SID>.log in saparch dir.
5: Start restore on targetsystem in the foreground with:
     u2022     su u2013 ora<sid>
     u2022     for normal restore: brrestore -r init<source sid>.utl -b <backupfile> -m full u2013c
   or Start restore in the background with:
     u2022     as root
     u2022     at now
          su u2013 ora<sid> -c u201Cbrrestore -r init<source sid>.utl -b <backupfile>-m full u2013c forceu201D
          ^D
6: Once restore finishes, do not open the database. Start the database in mount state and apply the redologs till the
time you want the recovery of database or else
you must recover the database till the end time of databse backup as you have online backup only with you.
==> for end time of backup, check the *.anf file.
before starting recovery, make sure archive logs are available with you.
Syntax
sqlplus> recover database using backup controlfile until cancel;
or
sqlplus> recover database until time '2010-03-02:10:00:00' using backup controlfile;
First check if we can stop and start the system without problems.
Sqlplus> shutdown immediate
Sqlplus> startup
Also check the alert_SID.log for any errors.
7: once database recovery finishes, you may open the database and start SAP applications.
Cheers !!!

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

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.

Restoration of MaxDB online backup on other server for creating Standby DB

Hi,
I had taken MaxDB online database backup through Data Protector 6.11. Now i want to restore this backup on other server. So that i can configure this as a standby database. I selected config and data for restoration but it was giving me an error as below,
[Critical] From: OB2BAR_SAPDBBAR@ttcsolma "BE1" Time: 01/11/11 01:19:05
      Error: SAPDB responded with: -24988,ERR_SQL: SQL error
-9407,System error: unexpected error
3,Database state: OFFLINE
Internal errorcode, Error code 9050 "disk_not_accessible"
So I created the database but with default values and then tried restoration but getting error as below,
Error: Unable to read the configuration value `All' for SAPDB instance `SID'.
If anybody is having any document or steps for confguring the Standby MaxDB database through Data Protector backup/restore method.
Thanks,
Narendra

Hi Siva,
Thanks for the replyu2026Yes I had copied the dbm.ebf, dbm.mdf dbm.knl files from the source server to target server. And also backup is visible in target server. And also I created Data /Log volumes size as equal to source server.
I tried restoring through DBM GUI with "recovery with initialization" option but I am getting error message as below and also I am getting same error message when I restore from Data Protector GUI. But I donu2019t have any problem restoring the backup on same server the problem occurs only when restoring it on target server.
Now for testing I have taken backup on file system through DBM GUI of source system and started restoring on target system. No problem while restoring from file system backup on target server. I am suspecting there is some problem with PIPE as I am using third party backup tool i.e. DP 6.11. I want to resolve the problem with third party backup tool as we will take all MaxDB database backup on tapes through DP 6.11.
Through DBM GUI error message:
Error: SAPDB responded with: -24925,ERR_PREPARE: preparation of backup operation failed
The list of external backup ID's contains less than 16 ID's.
Through Data Protector GUI error message:

Database open fails after online backup recovery

Hi Friends
We are trying to set up an additional server using the online backup of our DEV server. We have been following SAP Note 549828 for the same. Having restored the online backup, the open database failed.
To resolve the same, in accordance to SAP Note 549828, we created a backup control file with success using the command
create controlfile reuse set database DEV resetlogs noarchivelog
However on issuance of the command
RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCEL
we run into an error as to
ORA-00279: change 794638222 generated at 10/25/2007 12:43:20 needed for thread 1
ORA-00289: suggestion : /oracle/DEV/oraarch/DEVarch1_9766.dbf
ORA-00280: change 794638222 for thread 1 is in sequence #9766
Specify log: {<RET>=suggested | filename | AUTO | CANCEL}
ORA-00308: cannot open archived log '/oracle/DEV/oraarch/DEVarch1_9766.dbf'
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
SVR4 Error: 2: No such file or directory
Additional information: 3
ORA-01547: warning: RECOVER succeeded but OPEN RESETLOGS would get error below
ORA-01194: file 1 needs more recovery to be consistent
ORA-01110: data file 1: '/oracle/DEV/sapdata1/system_1/system.data1'
We even manually copied the file system.data1 from the source to the target server but to no avail.
Also the SQL command
SELECT FILE#, CHANGE# FROM V$RECOVER_FILE
displays a different change# for system.data1 while it is showing same number for all other datafiles.
Please advice at the earliest as we are struck. Points awaiting their master.

Some inputs addition to Erics comments
The problem is you dont have archives ie Offline redo logfiles in correct location.
/oracle/DEV/oraarch/DEVarch1_9766.dbf Here DEVarch1_9766 is archive file which is misssing from location /oracle/DEV/oraarch. To recover DB you need Archives generated during hot backup.
Generally these steps willl give you desired result.
select * from v$logfile;
We normally switch the log files to the number of log groups that exist
alter system switch logfile;
create a Backup directory to hold our hot back datafiles and Archives
When the backup is complete check the backup location to see if all the files are available. We could now either FTP the same to the other system or copy over these files to another location in case of cloning on the same system.
Copy over all the files to their respective filesystems and directories and then edit the file that was created using the backup controlfile to trace. Copy that file to the remote system and edit it accordingly.
check that all the files are in the right location and edit that information in the control file
Once the controlfile is run successfully and you get the statement processed, we can start applying the archive logs that we have moved to the archive log destination directory as per the init<sid>.ora file.
do a recover of the database to its consistent state
recover database using backup controlfile until cancel;
The create control file command only changes the structure of the database and the SID name, the header of the datafiles still hold all the required information. The above command would ask you to input the archive log file names one by one to do recovery or you could choose the AUTO option. Once the recovery process is complete, open the database with the resetlogs option

Online Backup of supported Linux VM on Hyper-V 2012 R2 / SC DPM 2012 R2

Hi,
I'm trying to set up a lab environment:
Win 2012 R2 with Hyper-V
running 2 Linux Machines:
Linux2 - CentOS 6.4 with manually installed Linux Integration services 3.4
Linux3 - CentOS 6.4 without LIS (should be already included in CentOS)
Another machine running Win 2012 R2 Server with SC DPM 2012 R2
but both VMs show as "Offline" when trying to back them up via DPM. Tried local Windows Server Backup with the same result.
I am able to backup the VMs "offline" (pausing the VM, taking snapshot, resume VM) but according to MS, SC DPM 2012 R2 should be able to do Online backups for supported Linux VMs (http://blogs.technet.com/b/virtualization/archive/2013/07/24/enabling-linux-support-on-windows-server-2012-r2-hyper-v.aspx)
The only things in the EventLog are these:
A storage device in 'Linux3' loaded but has a different version from the server. Server version 6.0 Client version 4.2 (Virtual machine ID 4F5CDDD8-B855-41CF-83B2-772C1B99090D). The device will work, but this is an unsupported configuration.
This means that technical support will not be provided until this problem is resolved. To fix this problem, upgrade the integration services. To upgrade, connect to the virtual machine and select Insert Integration Services Setup Disk from the Action menu.
Any Ideas ?
Thanks

Hi,
That list would need to come from the Windows hyper-v group, they are responsible with adding the feature to the integration components for various Linux OSes. DPM just backs up whatever the hyper-V writer presents to us, if the guest supports
online, we back it up online, if not hyper-V saves the guest before the VSS snapshot is taken and DPM takes the backup from the saved state.
NEW NOTE ADDED 1-29-14: Windows group just released “Linux Integration Services Version 3.5 for Hyper-V”. The
document mentions that some versions of Red Hat and CentOS are now
supported to do online backup.
Live virtual machine backup support
======================
RHEL/CentOS 6.0-6.3
RHEL/CentOS 5.7-5.8
RHEL/CentOS 5.5-5.6
ADDTL NOTES: If there are open file handles during a live virtual machine backup operation, the backed-up virtual hard disks (VHDs) might have to undergo a file system consistency check (fsck) when restored.
Live backup operations can fail silently if the virtual machine has an attached iSCSI device or a physical disk that is directly attached to a virtual machine (“pass-through disk”).
