SAP MDM 7.1
SAP NW EP 7.01
SAP ECC IDES 6.04
SAP CE 7.2
HDD u2013 6TB
OS u2013 Win 2K8 R2

We have HP Ultrium 2 Tape drive have been installed, we are planning to do offline backup first and then for online backup on regular basis.
As per my understanding for R/3 systems we can use DB12 for backup and not sure about Portal backup tool in SAP.
Can anyone please help me in sap best practise documents and links for backup procedure and store on tape drive.

Backup into tape drive

Hi All,
We are able to take sybase backup successfully into drive but when we take backup into tape drive or when we move backup into tape drive, we are unable to do that as we are getting an error. Do we need to mount tape drive or how we configure tape drive in syabse..
Thanks,
Sam

Hi Bret,

go

-36 errors, can't copy files in finder or backup to tape drive

Does anyone know what causes -36 errors and how we can eliminate them? We need to backup our files, but have been unable to do so due to -36 I/O errors in Retrospect. Files on which this error is reported by Retrospect will not copy in the finder, either. I think our hard drive may be bad. How can we recover our files if they cannot be backed-up or copied?
We recently purchased a tape drive for backup, an Exabyte VXA-2 FireWire Tape Drive. We are using VXA-2 V23 (230m) 80GB/160/GB Data Cartridges. I have verified that this drive is supported by Retrospect and that we have the correct tape cartridge. We are backing up one partition of a hard drive that is divided into two partitions. One is the start-up partition, the other is a partition on which we store customer files. We are backing up the partition that stores customer files. The tape drive is attached to and backing up a Macintosh G3 that was recently upgraded from system 9 to OS X 10.3.9 (Panther). The hard drive was not re-formatted before OS X was installed. I have downloaded updates and updated our Retrospect to the latest Retrospect version 6.1.126. I keep getting read errors when trying to backup the customer files partition, although I have ran every good repair program I know of to that partition — TechTool, Disk Warrior and Disk Utility. The tests all say the drive is OK. The only test I have not done recently is a surface scan, as this is an over-night procedure, but plan to do it this evening. A surface scan was done at the beginning of January, but we have continued to have problems. Yesterday morning I ran Disk Utility and it verified that the partition was okay.
I am fairly certain the problem is not with the tape drive, as a test backup up of some of the problem customer files to a file backup on the startup drive also produced many -36 errors. Also the tape drive worked on another Mac with no -36 errors.
The following is an excerpt from the log of last night's backup when the program was backing up (this is a very small portion of the whole log, there was a very long list of files it reported read errors on) Following this excerpt is also an excerpt of errors reported while the program was trying to verify the backup:

The only suggestion I have come across is to copy the files to another drive, but this is impossible because the problem files cannot be copied. If anyone has any other suggestion for fixing this, I would appreciate any input. Thanks.

Tech Tool, Disk Warrior, and Disk Utility all work to make sure the directory is Okay. They do not read every block.
I think you should do the surface scan you spoke of. What program do you use for this?
If you cannot copy a file in the Finder without an I/O error, the file is damaged or the drive had bad blocks.
Be sure you also downloaded the drivers module when you updated retrospect.

Backup to tape drive

HI,
We are running Oracle 11gR1 on AIX 6.1.
We have a standalone tape drive attached to this server and I am wondering can i backup the database directly to the tape drive without media manager?
Thanks,
Denny

We are running Oracle 11gR1 on AIX 6.1.
We have a standalone tape drive attached to this server and I am wondering can i backup the database directly to the tape drive without media manager?Is media libraries are installed on client? where you are running the RMAN Backup?
what is the media manager layer, Without this how it can communicate?
So it is not possible, you need to configure For Ex: Veritas net backup to fulfill your requirements

Can I use tape drive for backup with win 2012 OS & Sybase database?

I have installed enhancement package 6 for SAP ERP 6.0 with OS windows 2012 and database sybase ASE(15.7.050). I am facing problem while taking database backup on tape drive. I want to know how to initialize tape drive in case of sybase DB and is it possible to take back-up on same. I failed to schedule backup from DB13 so now I am doing that activity by command line. So please help me to solve these issues.
Here I am attaching some files related with backup commands that presently I am using. My SAP system ID is DQS.

That output actually looks pretty good, it was dumping to the tape drive, it just ran out of tape because the drive apparently doesn't automatically detect when it is reaching the end.
For the next step, try adding a CAPACITY parameter to your dump command as discussed at these places in the documentation.
Specifying tape capacity for dump commands
Set the Maximum Capacity for a Tape Drive
Your output above shows it was able to dump 87565594 KB before it ran out of tape,
so lets be a little conservative and try
dump database DQS to TAPE1 with capacity = 87000000, init
go
When the dump reaches that point, ASE should prompt you to pop in another new tape
and then issue the sp_volchanged procedure from a second session (it will tell you what parameters to use for sp_volchanged).
Note: once we get the dump working successfully, we can then create a logical dump device that would store the capacity value, and create a full dump configuration so you gain all the new functionality like dump history, etc.

Taking backup in windows 7 using tape drive

In Windows XP I was using ntbakup utility for taking data backup on backup tape .I have upgraded my machine to windows 7 now I am not able to take backup on tape drive.Please suggest solution so that I will be able to take backup on backup tape in windows
7.

Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 platform only support backup to dvd, network share or hdd.
To use a tape library to backup your data you'll need to use another tool like Symantec Backup Exec, Arc Serv Backup or any other.

Queries on tape drive configuration

Dear All,
I have some queries on tape drive configuration We are on windows 2003 , oracle 10g and ecc6 .
My requirements is to take backup on tape drive through brtools db13
Do that what need to be done at hardware and sap level means what tape device are there in market which support sap without buying any sap license
Please suggest in detail.
Regards,
Kumar

Hi,
If you are using only Tape device which is directly attached to your server locally, you won't need any license for that..
But if you are going to use any third party backup solution like "TIVOLI", then you may need purchase software and license if any..
Its depend on the software and the vendor...
Next thing, if your Tape device is locally attached to the server, you just need to install and configure device driver, so that your server operating system can recognized that hardware.
Then, you need to change the below parameters in "initSID.sap" profile which is under $ORACLE_HOME\dbs directory to take backup on tape.
backup_type = offline/online
backup_dev_type = tape
compress = hardware
archive_function = save_delete
rewind = "mt -f $ rewind"
rewind_offline = "mt -f $ offline"
tape_pos_cmd = "mt -f $ fsf $"
tape_size = 3600M (as per your tape size)
tape_address = /dev/nmt0
tape_address_rew = /dev/mt0
Leave the rest of the parameters as default.
You will be able to take backup using DB13 on tape.
Regards.

Problem with backups on Tape

Could you help me ,I have a problem with backups on tape drive .The error which Windows throws is "BackupTapeFile::UnloadTape: PrepareTape(UNLOCK) failure on backup device '\\.\tape0'. Operating system error 21(failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason: 15105)."
Does anyone of you have the same problem.Thank you!

You cannot perform a regular restore/recovery (up to the latest possible point in time), because at this time dropped tablespace is not known to the controlfiles/recocery catalog and therefore not known to RMAN,too. You have to 2 possibilities:
1. Restore the entire database and recover back in time to before the tablespace is dropped.
This will cause ALL data within the database to go back in time, not just this tablespace.
2. Clone the target database to a new location, perform point in time recovery in order to export
the data of the tablespace for import into the original database. This causes the data of this
tablespace to be brought back into the production database, not effecting existing (current) data
in any other area of the database.
As you can see recovering from a dropped tablespace needs some additional efforts. By the way you also cannot use RMAN's TSPITR functionality.

Tape drive selection for SAP r/3 Landscape

Dear frinds,
We are presently in the process of selection of Tape drive for our sap r/3 landscape. I.e, in the process of sap sizing.
My backup requirements are upto 1 TB. We have development QA and PRD servers in our landscape. We are planning for SAN based storage solution.
What I would like to know are as follows...
1. We are planning for SAN Based Tepe library.
With SAN Based tape library is it manditory to use Backup manager to initiate backup and restore operations.
My question is b'cos i need to upgrade skillset
Is it possible to mount the Single SAN Based Tape drive on my Development, QA and PRD as if they appear as local drives (file system )on the servers. If this is not possible i need to know about the tape drive which can be mounted as local tape drive.
I want only one tape drive in my landscap and I must be able to use sap r/3 tools to backup and restore.
Keeping presice my expectation what i want to know is : I want to conduct backup and restore operations in my SAP r/3 landscape with single tape drive and using SAP BRtools only( i.e. using DB13/ BRtools from command mode ).
It would be great suggested and participated in discussion.
Thanks and Regards,
Sree Ramam SNV

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 strategy with no tape drives/library

Hi, I am new into the job of sys admin, so we recently setup a system with running solaris 10 and with its storage as a NetApp, but we do not have yet a library or tape drive attached to it.
So how can I approach this problem? Can I setup a LUN on NetApp and copy all important stuff to that LUN?

For the oracle backup, oracle should have comands to dump or export the database to a file, and that file could be backed up. Alternately, there are problably options to put the database in read-only mode, so that you can back up the database files without worrying that they will be changed during the backup.
For other files, if you are using zfs snapshots, you could back up the zfs snapshots even if the original file is still open.
You might also want to look at the rysnc command- that should let you back up only files that have differ between the source and destination (i.e. you could do differential backups.) So maybe you could a monthly full backup with tar to NAS or SAN, a weekly rsync incremental backup, and daily zfs snapshot that is kept for a week.
