Remote Disk Backup

Hi gurus,
I want to ask some questions again..
I want to backup my SAP database to remote disk.
My server is using:
OS : Windows Server 2003 Enterprise 64bit
DB : Oracle 10.2.0.4
As i've read here: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmobile71/helpdata/en/47/0b9ed8434f57dde10000000a1553f7/content.htm
my only option for windows user is use backup_dev_type = ftp right?
so I have configured all things according to what's in the article above.
i've mapped the disk storage location into drive z: in my SAP Server.
When i execute backup, SAP returns error saying that z: is unknown location.
I use windows ftp server which is in IIS component.
When i see the picture from that article above, it uses SAPFTP.
Do I must use SAPFTP to backup to remote disk?
If so, how could I configure it?
I have tried to open SAPFTP in 'TCP/IP Connections' via tcode 'SM59' and 'Test Connection', which returned something like:
Logon:                    569  msec
  0  KB:                    1  msec
10  KB:                    4  msec
20  KB:                    5  msec
30  KB:                    7  msec
Any help for me?
Thanks very much.

gurus,
i've changed stage_root dir to ftp://folder, and now it's seems more convincing, but another error displayed:

  • 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.

    I would not use SAPFTP as you found out, it is slow.
    use DD instead which is much faster.

  • 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.

  • RMAN backup to remote disk in Windows

    Hi,
    I'm running Oracle 9.2.0.1 with Windows Server 2003 in both Server A and Server B. My prime DB is stored in Server A meanwhile my RMAN Catalog is in Server B. I’m running RMAN to do backup of the DB in Server A which is running out of space. So, I have decided to store my backupsets to Server B since I do have few hundred Gs there. Overall, I will push the backup script from RMAN Catalog in Server B and will store the backupsets back to Server B.
    My problem is whenever I run the script, no matter either from Server A or Server B, I’m getting the following error. Attached together is the RMAN configuration parameters.

Anyway, is this a correct way to do backup into remote disk? I’m quite new to Oracle and just attended RMAN course with OU. I have Google-ed this problem but none can assist me. Please do help me or share your knowledge to resolve this problem.
    Thanks & regards,
    Nesan

    Hi Andre,
    Yes you're correct, it's because of the Oracle service which run under Local System Account. I have went to it's properties and changed the logon details to my own Login ID which is Administrator for both Server A and B. Now my remote backup is working great...
    But does this changes will affect other apps/jobs/results in Oracle?
    Guys,
    If you have any better idea to solve this issue please drop into this thread or let me know if you find anything wrong on my solution.
    Thanks a lot for Andre.... You have solved my 2 weeks problem.

  • BRtools Two-Phase-Backup to remote disk and remote tape drive

    Hello,
    i want to two-phase-backup a SAP-System to a remote disk and from there to a tape drive.
    Backup to remote disk works fine, but can i use brtools to write the backup-files from the remote machine to a tape drive that is connected to the remote machine?
    I'm using SLES 10 on both machines.
    I can't find anything on the SAP Documentation to this. It ist possible to backup to remote disk and to remote tape, but it is not clear that it works when in Phase 1 of the backup the files are written to a remote disk. It seems like i can only tell brtools to backup the files from a local disc to a remote tape-drive, is this right?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Regards
    Phil

    Hi Nirmal,
    thanks for your answer.
    But i can do disk to tape Backups, when i choose "Backup of Disk Backup" from BRtools, i see a list of all Backups i wrote to the local disk and can write them to remote tape by using pipe as backup device.
    The only thing is, my Backups are stored on a remote disk, and from there it seems i have to write them to tape with cronjobs using a shell script. That's not my favourite solution, but it's ok.
    Regards
    Phil

  • Backup to Remote Disk Array

    Hi,
    I have a remote disk array of IDE drives (2TB) and want to use RMAN to backup my database to these disks. The question is how can I do this? I though of using NFS or SAMBA but I don't think this is a good idea. Does anyone have any suggestions? A plug in library for rman? I'm using 9i with redhat Linux.
    Thanks in advance,
    Steve.

    nothing is stopping you from using NFS technically speaking, from what i know.
    as long as the master server is available during the backup you should not have any issues. the only issue could be the time it takes to backup the data.
    in your case you can configure those disk arrays to the database host and create some volumes on these disk arrays and backup your database.
    there are no libraries for disks. RMAN installation for that particular version of o/s should take care of it.
    you have to configure RMAN for media management software libraries, when you want to back the data to a tape drive.

  • XSan/iMovie HD problems - won't render to remote disk, please help!

    Without warning last week my g4's started to crash on the simple task of rendering a title in iMovie to the Xsan - then shortly after that the g5's decided to choke on a title render in iDVD. No changes what-so-ever were made to any of the systems, configurations, permissions, settings you name it, one day things are fine and the next yikes! Now I know there have been problems with iMovie writing to remote disk (for instance with the fast/slow/reverse effect which just never did work on the Xsan being a remote disk.) I've worked around it in past this one is rather enormous though - I can only import and export video to the XSan right now. Anything else seems to lead my machines into a full crash, and to make matters worse I've got kids lined up around the block wanting to get in to spruce up their videos right now. We've done a defrag of the XSan and that didn't help, does anyone have any suggestions of advice, it's important that iMovie function with our XSan, since that was why it was purchased initially. Thanks.

    So, you're re-sharing the Xsan volume to a bunch of workstations using AFP, or are all these direct attached?
    Did the G4/G5 workstations get updated to a newer OS without you knowing? Or a new version of QuickTime?
    Do you have a metadata controller and a backup? Try failing the master for the backup.
    You could always unmount the volume from all clients, stop the volume and run cvfsk.

  • Events on remote disks are missing from event library

    I have a directory on this remote drive with iMovie events.  How can I reconnect these events back into iMovie?

  • Remote disk and time machine?

    i have my external hard drive attached to my airport extreme and all my computers, mac and windows, play nice and can copy files to and from it but i have partitioned the hard drive to allow for space for time machine to work but time machine wont find it or if it does refuses to use it as a disk. does time machine work with remote disks?

    heay,
    I had the same issue with an exteral 250Gb USD WD disk....
    I found the solution to my issue in the following manner.
    1) the disk/partition must be formated "OS X extended" format.
    2) you should be able to use you the Disk/Partition with TM while connected directly to the MAC. (this is just to make sure TM works fine.
    3) connect the disk to the airport extreme via USB.
    4) mount the the disk on the desktop
    5) go to TM preferences and change the backup disk to the disk/partition you just mounted.
    6) Activate the TM "status info" in the menu bar
    7) turn TM "ON" (DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RUN TM, or you'll have to do the entire procedure from scratch)
    8) close the TM preferences.
    9) unmount the disk from your desktop (use the the eject button on the shared devices tap in the finder)
    10) restart the MAC (you don't need to do this... but this is just to make sure that the disk is unmounted completely)
    11) once the boot-up is completed, go to the TM status icon and choose "backup now"
    You must make sure that the disk and or partitions you want to use with TM are never mounted before or during the TM process.
    As long as the disk/partition is mounted TM will not function.
    if you need to use the disk for other purposes than TM wait until TM has done its first run... then you can mount and unmount freely... TM is very sensitive to this "mount" issue.
    Note that sometimes TM will fail to funtion... this is not a big problem...
    you just need to make sure the disk/partition is unmounted and then run the TM back from the menu bar.
    Also note that your first backup will most likely take a very very very very very long time to be completed. just leave the MAC on a make sure it does not fall sleep.
    try the above and the let me know if it works or not...

  • Time Machine restore issue - 'connect to remote disk' greyed out

    I'm having trouble restoring my MacBook Pro from a time machine backup on a Buffalo network drive.
    I boot up my MacBook Pro from the original Mac OS X Install DVD that came with the machine.  Using the Disk Utility the MBP hard drive has been re-formatted.  I then select 'restore' from a time machine back up copy from the utilities menu.  However, as soon as I get to the screen 'searching for time machine backups' I cannot proceed any further as the 'connect to remote disk' button is greyed out so I cannot select the network drive. 
    I have restored the machine several times before from the network drive and its always worked fine.  I just cannot figure out at all what is going wrong this time and why the 'connect to remote disk' button is greyed out.  Nothing has changed from a previous restore I performed a week or so ago.  The network drive is up and running fine (not that that is particularly relevant as I can't even get to the stage of actually searching for the network drive).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    It sounds like something in your installation of OSX was corrupted, and got backed-up. So when you restore, you're restoring the problem.
    Your best bet is probably to do an +Erase and Install+ of Leopard, then use +Setup Assistant+ when your Mac restarts to transfer all your users, data, apps, and settings from the backups. See #19 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
    Then download and install the "combo" update, to get back to 10.5.8. Info and download available at: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate Be sure to do a +Repair Permissions+ via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder) afterwards.

  • Optical Drive gone on MacBook Trying To Install using Remote Disk

    I've followed the instructions on using Remote Disk to reinstall my MacBook system software but the MacBook does not see the Remote Disk from my MacBook Pro. They are both on the same network and I've followed the instructions but when I hold down the Option key on my MacBook it only sees the MacBook hard drive - not the remote disk from the MacBook Pro. Is there another work around or a way to reinstall the operating system and updates using Firewire?

    Start up the MacBook Pro with your install disk.
    After you get to the install screen on the MacBook Pro connect the MacBook to the MacBook Pro in "Target Mode"with a firewire cable http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
    Then open "Disk Utility" from the install disk on the MacBook Pro. You should see both the MacBook and the MacBook Pro hard drives in there. Erase and partition the MacBook drive and then choose that drive when you go back to the install screen.

  • 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.

Maybe you are looking for
