Hi Fiedle,<br>

Not very good starting point if you cannot write my name properly (5 letters 2 mistakes)<br>

<br>
Why? you are reporting a NEW error. But lets take a look and point to the lines YOU have to read, point to the lines YOU have to correct.<br>
> 16.08.2009 05:00:58 BR0180E Backup devices with and without rewind have the same address<br>
> 16.08.2009 05:00:58 BR0179E Number of backup devices defined in parameters 'tape_address' is not the same<br>
> 16.08.2009 05:00:58 BR0182E Checking parameter/option 'tape_address' failed <br>
> 16.08.2009 05:00:58 BR0182E Checking parameter/option 'tape_address_rew' failed <br>
> 16.08.2009 05:00:58 BR0056I End of database backup: bebgfheg.log 2009-08-16 05.00.58<br>
> 16.08.2009 05:00:58 BR0280I BRBACKUP time stamp: 2009-08-16 05.00.58<br>
> 16.08.2009 05:00:58 BR0054I BRBACKUP terminated with errors<br>
<br>
If you take a look at the bold lines, they are very clear. And the red ones give you EXACTLY what you have to take a look at and change.<br>
But it looks like you do not do it. You wrote:<br>
> tape_address = /dailybkpeccq<br>
> #tape_address = /dev/rmt0.1<br>
> tape_address_rew = /dailybkpeccq<br>
> #tape_address_rew = /dev/rmt0<br>
The error is telling you that you have the same tape device for tape_address and tape_address_rew <br>
And you do, and you do confirm it, but you do not change it.<br>
<br>
It looks like you want to do a backup to disk. In that case what you CANNOT do is to change the tape_address to a directory and try the same<br>
you have to<br>
- change the device to disk as indicated on the [documentation|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/0d/d30ba74a0c11d182b80000e829fbfe/content.htm].<br>
- do not change the tape* parameters. Those parameters are ONLY for tapes, as their own name suggest.<br>
- indicate the directory where you want to backup with the parameter backup_root_dir, as specified in the  [documentation|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/0d/d309594a0c11d182b80000e829fbfe/content.htm]<br>
-it may be that you need some other specific options depending on what YOU want to do, but, please, please, please, follow the[ rules of engagement|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/HOME/RulesofEngagement] for the forums,  BEFORE posting AND Read the documentation which contains ALL the information you needed until now.<br>
<br>
There are some issues with the format with long posts and/or long lines. The preview is correct. sorry. I've reformateed it adding some HTML tags
