SAP Backup Service SAP 8.8 and Windows 2008 R2 64 Bit

Dear All ( Mr Gordon)
I am facing problem with the Backup Service on windows 2008 R2 64 Bit.
1)The Service starts - There is no Issue
2)THere is no Backup - Even though i schedule it perform the backup
3)EvenLog has a lot of messages - Messages says some Dll are Missing or Corrupt.
COmpletely Uninstalled the Server Tools and Reinstalled back ,still there is error.

Dear Dayal,
Thank you for your trust on me. To be honest, I never use SAP Backup Service. This is because: SQL Server provides its own Backup Service. No other vendor can compete with its build in function.

SAP Backup

Hi,
I would like to find out more in detail about backup. What are the backup we need to perform inorder to do a full recovery ? Eg,
1)We need to backup both the sap and also the database right ?
2)For database, if we do a offline backup, do we just backup the archive log ?
3)How about the redo log ? Is it necessary during the offline backup ?
4)What do we backup for the SAP itself ?
SAP + archive log = full backup ?
Regards
Lauran

Hi Lauran
For doing full recovery all you need to have is a consistent backup and the logs generated after that backup.
1)We need to backup both the sap and also the database right ?
Taking backup of database means you can do recovery...SAP backup means you need to take non-database components backup like OS files...in windows NTBACKUP or in unix file system copy...
In a regular basis backup of database is sufficient but once or twice a mnth depending upon ur strategy u shud take backup at OS level.
2)For database, if we do a offline backup, do we just backup the archive log ?
Offline backup means u backup the database when it is shutdown. Db is closed to ensure that it is in a consistent state. Offline backup can be taken along with archive log. If your backup is fyn den archive vl jst be for additional security dat if by chance dat backup creates some problem u an use the archive log accrdingly.
3)How about the redo log ? Is it necessary during the offline backup ?
Redo log is not necessary during offline backup. Offline bakup means the db is in a consistent state and does not need any log files before the time of backup. Redo log are useful when u restore the backup and apply the logs aftr the tym of the backup to bring it to the current state.
4)What do we backup for the SAP itself ?
For SAP you back up the files/folders at the OS level like the /usr directory and the other directories related to SAP. On windows u take the backup of the OS files as well to restore the complete system in case of failure.
So there are multiple ways in which it can be achieved. Depends on the company strategy.
SAP + archive log = full backup ?
The above equation u cannot say it as correct actually as it differs for different situation. It depends on what you include in SAP backup...If u include everything frm DB files to SAP files + the logs then it is correct else if you take backup of only the SAP related files/directories and not oracle then it is not correct.
So better not to conclude in such a way and let it vary according to the situation!
Hope this clears all your doubts.

SAP Backup service

Hello friends,
its been now more than a week that my SAP backup is not doing automatic backup on the server. i have checked all the settings and nothing is wrong. this happened after i have upgraded to 8.8 version from 2007. when i check the service in windows services, it shows that the service is starting... but it stays under this status forever, i cannot stop it or restart.
did anyone had such a problem before? please help.

Hi,
If the service is starting, it means not started. You have to clean reinstall the service tool.
You may use SQL Server backup function directly. That is another option.

SAP Backups ; R/3 & file system

Hello,
What is the different between SAP R/3 backup and SAP File System backup?
what are the files that backing up in each cases
To which back up does the oracle DB fit in. (Data Files,Control files, Redo Logs, SPFILE)
To which back up does the O/S files fit in. (here Suse O/S)
thankx

There is not any concept of SAP file system backup.....it means OS level file system backup.
SAP R/3 backup can backed up all the sapdata(database) files, controlfiles as well as redologs.
OS filesystem level backup can backed up all the files based on your requirement and rotation.
Both backups you can use for restorations.....SAP R/3 backup will take all the responsibilities in backup as well as in restoration.
but in OS level backup first you must know which files need to be backed up and what exactly the all directoruies contains.

How to configure sap backup in DB13

Dears:
In DB13, i create Whole database online + redo log backup in backup calendar, but i don't know where i can configure to make the backup data store into local harddisk or tape.
If store in local harddisk,where can i specify the path which the backup data to save.
If store in tape, where can i specify the tape name?

You need to configure the tapes and backup location on you init<sid>.sap (if you're using oracle)...

Error when uploading SAP query in ECC6 from 4.5B system

Hi expert ,
I have down loaded SAP Query(infoset) from 4.5B server and now i want to upload this query to ECC6.0. when i upload this query(infoset) to ECC 6 as follows to download step like from SQ02 . but after executing i am getting error
" infoset ZTEST (import option REPLACE)"
" F | Error When generating Transport dataset
I am following all steps even created user group in sq03 which it is in my 4.5b system.
Thanks
Chandra

Hello,
It won't usually work when you try to download a infoset from a older release and try to upload in a newer version. However there is a workaround for this.
If you debug the program while uploading, you will notice that certain if conditions fail on a few fields in the file you are trying to upload are missing. What i would suggest you to do is, download any infoset from your ECC 6.0 version and keep it as a reference for filling these missing fields into the older version infoset you are trying to upload.

What are the SAP backup for SID (SAP DB), Master & MSDB?

Dear Experts,
I'm trying to do backup via tcode DB13 for full backup. Somehow there are 3 database option for me to choose, which are Master, MSDB and SID (SAP DB).
I just wonder what are they.
My concern is which of the above options consists all the customizing data in IMG.
Please advise.
regards,
Abraham

Hi Abraham,
Data is in SID (sap db) but if possible you choose all three in one go. Otherwise take backup of SID
Read this one if possible,

Can you please address the following :-
How can i restore data successfully from production to production-dr ?

SAP Backup using Unix commands / tools

Hi,
We want to include file system backup process as part of our backup strategy. To test the waters, we are planning to take a backup of the at filesystems level. Following are the filesystems in our production systems. We have a test server (hostname is different), without any filesystems created beforehand. I want to know: 1. Which filesystems will be required from the below:
Filesystem    GB blocks      Used      Free %Used Mounted on

GILSAPED:/usr/sap/trans     20.00     17.54      2.46   88% /usr/sap/trans
2. Is it possible to directly backup the filesystems (like /dev/oracleGSPlv)? This requirement is because, when I backup (using tar) /oracle, all the folders in /oracle, like /oracle/GSP, /oracle/GSP/sapdata1 etc, are also backed up. I do not want it. I would like to backup the filesystems directly.
3. Which unix backup tools are used to backup the individual filesystems?
4. How do we restore the filesystems to the test server? Thanks for your advise. Abdul Edited by: Abdul Rahim Shaik on Feb 8, 2010 12:10 PM

Hi,
I am not sure about your OS as you have not mentioned it...
If it is HP-UX then you can use "fbackup" backup for filesystem...
and IGNITE to backup volume groups..
fbackup will backup the filesystem only... but IGNITE backup creates bootable media for recovery...
With IGNITE (make_tape_recovery) backup you can backup individual volume group.
you can see the man pages for the details...
#man fbackup
#man make_tape_recovery
It will be more easy to guide you if you provide your OS and Filesystem layout and what you need to backup...
If you still want to use "tar" command for backup, use "--no-recursion" option to backup single directory

Help on setting up SAP LSO on ECC6 with EP

Hi fellow SAPians,
I would really appreciate if I can receive help on this.
We're currently exploring the SAP Discovery Server. I understand that
SAP Learning Solution has taken over Training Management. Can I ask if
the image provided comes with Learning Portal, Content Player and
Authoring Environment? If they do, may I know how I can activate them
so that they can be displayed in portal? Is there any complete and comprehensive Step by Step SAP LSO 600 documentation that helps? All I could find were for
versions 100, 200 and 300.
I've tried the below pages but they can't be displayed:
http://server:ITSport/sap/bc/bsp/sap/hcm_learning/leso.htm
- Prompted for user ID to Web Application Server (ERP)
http://server:j2eeport/lms/mediator/config
- Page not found
Also, may I know if Learning Portal, Content Player and Authoring
Environment comes as standard with ECC6 and EP7?
Thank you.
Regards,
Damien

Hi Damien,
I do not believe that SAP Discovery Server will have much on Learning Solution. You would not have the Content Player or Authoring Environment.
Much of the LSO 600 documentation is found in service.sap.com. Go to https://websmp202.sap-ag.de/support
Select Release & Upgrade Info/Installation & Upgrade Guide. Under Installation & Upgrade Guides select SAP Business Suite Applications-SAP ERP-SAP ERP 6.0---Installation.
You will find some guides for LSO Authoring Environment, Content Player & Offline Player.
Since LSO 6.00 is part of ERP 6.0 (or ERP 2005), there are additional information in the installation guides under there that you will need to consult.
Additionally, you should consult https://websmp202.sap-ag.de/learningsolution. Under media library, you will find information on the Training management portion of LSO, the Authoring Environment and Learning Portal. There is a Configuration Guide there that is also very useful.
The Learning Portal is included in ECC 6.0. The Content Player which is a Java application needs to be installed separately as well as the Authoring Environment which is a desktop (client) application. But you should confirm with your SAP Account Executive about licenses for using LSO (there is/was a user and author license).
The SAP Enterprise Portal is an optional component and is not part of LSO per say. Customers can run the Learning Portal in their own intranet as the Learning Portal pages are just BSPs that sit in ERP (ECC) and can be accesses via a URL.
You can include the Learning Portal page in the EP using a delivered iView which is really pretty much empty since the pages come from ERP.
If this helps, don't forget to allocate the points.
Cheers,
Danielle
