Hi,
I highly recommend to go from step 1 to the end in this tutorial, but if you realy want to just only to restore than you can start in Lesson 4: Perform a Restore From a Full Database Backup

Using Lenovo's Enhanced Backup & Restore Questions

Hi all,
I am wondering if anyone has any experience in using Lenovo's Enhanced Backup & Restore.
My situation is that I am thinking of updating the firmware on my MyDigitalSSD 128GB mSATA SSD to the latest version. However, from what I read, the update will wipe the mSATA SSD. Also, at the moment, I have been backing up my C:\ to an external HDD weekly using Lenovo's Enhanced Backup & Restore software.
My question is if my steps below are workable and if the Enhanced Backup & Restore program will restore my system back to the latest backup?
1. Use Enhanced Backup & Restore program to backup the latest image of my system.
2. Update firmware on my mSATA SSD. All data will be wiped.
3. Use my Recovery Discs to restore the mSATA SSD to Lenovo's factory image.
4. Use Enhanced Backup & Restore program to restore the latest image.
Any comments, anyone? Thanks in advance!

You can only restore to the same hub, as the serial numbers have to match.

Homegneous System copy Specific DB method Oracle Backup/Restore Sapinst

Hello colleagues,
Following the documentation, I´ve one doubt about the above method, is it needed to install again the SCS instance when the system is installed in one host and we want just to refresh database.
I mean, we want to refresh CRM quality system from Production system. It´s a ABAP+JAVA system, so i have to prepare a backup and export Central instance through sapinst in source system.
Afterwards it´s needed to follow the three steps in sapinst, Install SCS instance, Install database instance and install central instance (database copy section) . Or as we´ve already installed our quality CRM system, it´s just enough with installing database instance and central instance (using backup/restore method and exported data from source system)
Thanks a lot for this info because in the SAP guides it´s not clear from my point of view.
Regards

Well i didnot get your question properly, but as per my understanding if you have only ABAP instance installed then you can go with the Database resoration method but as you said ABAP+JAVA instance both are there so in that case you need to build the export of complete system through Sapinst and then you cn perform the same export file to install the target system which will be your Quality.
Another option is that just restore the database via database restoration method then try to restore the JAVA stack by file system method which is i think not supported by SAP if i am not wrong but it can be done i tired the same on XI system.

Online DB2 database Copy via backup/restore

Hi Guru's
I am new in the world of DB2 (I am always working with Oracle)
I have to perform an online database copy of our SAP which is running on DB2, but I do not want to use the SAPinst method
I just want to perform it through the backup/restore method as I always do with oracle databases
Which procedure do I have to follow on my source and target SIDs
Regards
Richard

Hi Richard,
Follow the below step db2 nackup restore activity.
1). Perform full offline or online backup of source system
2). Go to cd /sapmnt/SSID/exe and run the below script
brdb6brt -bm RETRIEVE -es –replace SourceSID=TargetSID,db2SourceSID=db2TargetSID,/db2/SourceSID=/db2/TargetSID
3). Above Generate the script copy the Target System.
4). Offline PRD (Target System) Backup Images copy to Source Path (Any One Path)
5). Stop SAP System only DB2 must be Started.
6). Start the db2 backup redirect restored in Quality System
7). before run the script below activity must be finished.
Make Changes to the restore script
Go to script path
1). Replace Source SID (XXX) with Target SID (XXX)
2). Change the backup location
3). User (source db2sid) USING (Source db2sid Password)
USER db2xxx USING XXX(Password)
8). Restoring Database
Log in db2sid (db2sid) User
Go to backup & script Path
9). Run the below Script
db2 -tvf <script.scr> for exp. db2 -tvf xxx_NODE0000.scr
After successfully restore backup below command run
10). First Check Roll Forward Status
Open DB with the below command
db2 rollforward db <TargetSID> query status – check status of DB
db2 rollforward db <TargetSID> complete
11). Once the copy is complete we can check below parameter and make corrections as per your preprocessing
Db2 list tablespaces show detail (To check tablespaces)
parameter automatic storage & re-sized YES
Check the Archive log (LOGARCHMATH1) path
Log in db2sid & run the below command for change the db2 LOGARCHMATH1 Parameter value.
After successfully change the parameter restart the db2 database
12). Perform below step before the Start SAP System
13). Create SAP connects user using
PATH :- /usr/sap/SID/SYS/global
scdb6up create <connect user password> <sidadm password>
above command will update entry in /sapmnt/SID/global/dscdb6.conf

By mistake I ran Windows Backup/Restore with SAP services on URGENT

Dear all
What I did by mistake I ran Windows Backup/Restore with SAP services on (I stopped win sql services and SAP instance).
After restore under same circumstances I could not start istance (actually it started but after connect with saplogon dispetcher stopped).
When trying to restore 2nd time(with deleted AFGDATA1,AFGDATA2, AFGDATA3 , AFGLOG and usr under c:\ I realized I can not delete C:/usr directory (with subdrectories) as SAP services were locking some files. (i stopped services and deleted those files I have them in rcycle bin),
Can I somehow restore the system

Hello Tina,
- what is the status of SAP service? can you start it? If not, what is written in application event log?
- If service can be started, are you able to start SAP system? If not, what is written in sapstartsrv.log, dev_disp and dev_w0, could you put output of them?
- which files exactly have you deleted?
I afraid that the locked files were not backup and they will not be restored in this case. Further steps depend on what the files you have deleted.

Backup & Restore SQL Server 2005

Dear Experts,
One of our SAP system got crash due to some hardware problem . we have rectified the problem and installed the OS again.
Now could you please tell me how to restore taken SQL to bring the system up to date. Now I have Backup datas in my External HDD. I don't have Tape Drive media for that system.
I would appreciate the procedure and steps to be followed backup restore on the SQL 2005 & windows 2003 server system
Please Let me know.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Thomas.T

hi,
you have to install SAP on that machine then
1. Detach the database from newly installed sap.
if you had offline backup
2. copy the database from the external HDD to newly installed location for e.g if on installation you had
     database location on E:\ then copy to E:\
3. attach the database.
if online backup
3. you have to use Restore method in SQL server.
     start SQL 2005 server, right click on database option-->select Restore database, select from device -->specify backup
     Backup media> file, click on Add> select file (external HDD location), in To database -->specify name of database (like PRD,DEV your SAP database name), in option, give the proper path for the restore.
4. run STM tool.
Thanks

Backup/Restore Tables

hi experts,
How can I Backup/Restore MaxDB Tables? Actually I want to copy Tables along data from instance to another.
Please give me step by step procedure to achieve the task.
thanks in advance
nikhil

Hello,
to backup and restore a database you can use the dbmcli http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_7/44/dcdbec10916c31e10000000a114a6b/content.htm.
When you want to use the loader to backup some tables you have to keep in mind that the loader is an ETL tool and was not designed for backup purposes.
Things like consistence between tables are not guaranteed and you have to resolve this in your application.
The loadercli and the dbmcli can be used via JDBC using the powertoys extension.

Duplicate node in configtool.sh after files sytem backup / restore

Hello,
We are doing EHP4 installations for our live ECC6 (ABAP+Java) landscape. We wanted to achieve EHP4 installation more consistently and accurately in our test system first. We are performing system copy from our Production system (sapecp) to TEST system host (sapecb) using full file system backup and restore.
We have restored most recent full file system backup of our PRD(sapecp) on our TEST System (sapecb). Due to the different host name of test system we aslo finished the host renaming steps from note 8307 and 757692. Our DBAsu2019 also adjust the new
host name in Oracle after the file system restore. After this we are able to start SAP instance successfully on TEST system.
However we have noticed that configtool.sh is now showing two nodes automatically instead of a single node in both PRD and TEST systems.
Q: Is their anything else we still need to change in configtool.sh in our TEST system to remove references of PRD ?
Q: is this a normal behavior of configtool.sh after a file system backup and restore ?
Q: is their a way to clean up the configtool nodes in both system ?
Please advice if anyone has faced the similar issue ?
Thanks,
Harshal

Dear Reagan,
Infra team did only the Backup Restore of the Prod system and no Export Import of Prod using the sapinst.
Should I do the export import as it sounds by your and Pavan's reply that it might be required
We are doing Restore for Dual stack first time done the backup restore for ABAP stack a couple of times for ECC Quality refresh.
Should this be the option that I should select in sapinst for JAVA Export and JAVA Import:
JAVA Export
JAVA Import

Why can't I migrate from an iPhone 3GS to a 4GS using iCloud Backup/Restore?? (Says incompatible.)

Why can't I -simply- migrate from an iPhone 3GS to a 4GS using iCloud Backup/Restore??
(The 4GS says it's incompatible with 3GS iCloud Backups and so it cannot restore them.)
I've had to use a computer with iTunes, but surely iCloud can be used fior this?

You need to update your 4 to newer software to restore from icloud back up, until then you will get incompatible message. So steps are - set up your iphone 4 as new. Update. Erase. Restore from cloud backup. If you update does not take long you should be all set within an hour.

Backup & Restore non-administrators Group Policy Settings

Hi,
I'm trying to setup a few reference images of Windows 7 which will be deployed to our client computers. The baseline Group Policies are configured through Local Group Policies set in the image. I've setup a Master GPO machine on which to build the policies
and test them.
The Local Group Policies have been set for Local Computer Configuration, Local User Configuration and for Local Non-Administrators Configuration. The thinking is that members of the local Administrators group on the computer are unrestricted and still have
the ability to do most things. Users which log onto the computer abide by the more restrictive Non-Administrators Group Policy settings.
Using the "LocalGPO.wsf" script I'm able to backup and restore Computer and User Configuration which affects all users of the machine but it does not backup the Non-Administrators Policies. Is this possible?
After some digging around in the "GPOPack.wsf" files I've found that the Machine & All Users Policies are restored by the "LocalPol.exe" file. This utility has command line switches for '-m' machine and '-u' user. So I'm guessing
that it's not possible to restore the Non-Administrators Policies?
For what it was worth I've tried copying the "Registry.pol" file from "%windir%\System32\GroupPolicyUsers\S-1-5-32-545\User" folder on the GPO Master machine and placed the file in the same location on target computer. A test which had
one value set worked on the reference computer but when the policies were copied form the GPO Master machine, the target computer ignored all the settings.
Any ideas how to backup/restore Local Machine Non-Administrator Group Polices?
Thanks!

Not entirely sure of the specific policies you're dealing with, but you would typically use the Microsoft Security Compliance Manager to create GPO packs that you would then apply using the Apply Local GPO Package task sequence step in MDT.
I'd encourage you to look over the Applying Group Policy Object Packs section of the
Using the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit.docx file in the MDT 2013 documentation for more details.

Sapinst error backup/restore phase create controlfile

Hello experts
I am doing a homogeneous system copy using database specific tools backup/restore.Oracle 10.2.0.5, HP-UX, ECC 6.0
Source = ZD1 and Target = ZD1 (Yes they are both same) Source was a fresh install with brand new Export data (SID = ZD1) and now we are replacing the database with a copy of our existing Dev system (also SID = ZD1)
Restored the backup over target using OFFLINE backup. Have not run any "recover database ...." or "alter database open resetlogs" yet because sapinst is suppose to do this.
My control script looks like this: filename = CONTROL.SQL
STARTUP NOMOUNT
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE SET DATABASE "ZD1" RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG
 MAXLOGFILES 255
 MAXLOGMEMBERS 3
 MAXDATAFILES 254
 MAXINSTANCES 50
 MAXLOGHISTORY 23371
LOGFILE
GROUP 1 (
 '/oracle/ZD1/origlogA/log_g11m1.dbf',
then all the data file paths (which I verified to be correct)
ends with:
'/oracle/ZD1/sapdata4/sr3_61/sr3.data61',
'/oracle/ZD1/sapdata4/sr3_62/sr3.data62'
CHARACTER SET UTF8
Now here is the issue:
1) When I manually run the CONTROL.SQL and then just do a alter database open resetlogs everything is fine. Database mounts and opens fine. However when I run the sapinst it tries to run the CONTROL.SQL again and messes up everything. I would like to skip this phase in sapinst and change ERROR to OK in keydb.xml file. Question is when should I do this ? Before starting sapinst so that it skips this or during the phase it stops and asks for backup/restore ?
2) Instead creating files manually I also let sapinst do this. But it throws an error during control file creation. When I used the above CONTROL.SQL it says must use resetlogs to open database. Then I restored all over again and added the line alter database open resetlogs at the end of CONTROL.SQL
'/oracle/ZD1/sapdata4/sr3_61/sr3.data61',
'/oracle/ZD1/sapdata4/sr3_62/sr3.data62'
CHARACTER SET UTF8
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESTLOGS;
And then ran sapinst again from scratch and now it throws error file 1 needs media recovery.
This is weird and I don't know why sapinst acting smart here and wont let me do it and when it does it by himself it messes up.
Is my CONTROL.SQL scripts correct ? Whats the best approach here.
Thank you

Hello Nicholas
Thank you. I have replaced the CONTROL>SQL in the installation directory itself. Its in /tmp/sapinst_instdir/ERP/LM/COPY/ORA/SYSTEM/CENTRAL/AS And yes it IS picking up the control.sql that I provided and not the default.

Thank you. I have never commented anything in keydb.xml before. But sounds like a good idea because if I can restore it myself I really want to skip this step. Should I just do it before start of sapinst and what exact lines to comment ? Which keydb should I edit ? I found several but looks like ./ERP/LM/COPY/ORA/SYSTEM/CENTRAL/AS/keydb.xml is the right one.
root@zepsapa1 # find . -name keydb.xml

./ERP/SYSTEM/ORA/CENTRAL/AS/log_18_Dec_2011_08_05_17/keydb.xml
Also what exactly am I commenting here ? I see step RunControlScript is the one causing problems and I dont want it to create any control files. Please advise what exactly I need to comment and when. And what about changing the ERROR to OK ?

If you transfer the logins using sp_help_revlogin (https://support.microsoft.com/kb/918992) or the SSIS Transfer Logins Task, the logins will be created with the SID and password hash intact and you won't have any orphaned user issues after restoring the
database, even to a different server, or a higher version. If you are upgrading versions then post restore steps depends on what version the database started at and what version you are upgrading to. From SQL Server 2000, you need to update statistics
and you also need to run DBCC CHECKDB WITH DATA_PURITY so that it can set the internal bit that the data in the tables has been validated to have proper values within the ranges of the datatypes specified. This wasn't something done in SQL Server 2000
previously. Going from 2005 to higher versions, the stats blobs should be updated to cover any changes that might have been made, but as I recall the important changes were made in the 2005 version that affected performance the most with the older stats
blobs. Other than that, consider other things that aren't contained in the database:
Replication - requires the KEEP_REPLICATION option on RESTORE
CDC - requires the KEEP_CDC option on RESTORE
SQL Agent Jobs
SSIS Packages (or DTS if 2000)
Server Logins should be scripted or transfered with a SSIS task as explained above
