4. Run the SAP brbackup command.
For example, to back up data files, control files, and redo logs, run:
brbackup -m all -t online_mirror -q split -c force
To back up just the data files, run:
brbackup —m 1–n —t online_mirror -q split c —force
where n is the SAP number of the data file.
NOTE:
The –q option is required unless you use a third–party backint for backing
up to tapes.
Restore
After the restore, you can recover the database to a specific point in time using the
SAPDBA utility. Instant recovery method enables you to restore and recover the
database within the same session. However, you can only restore (and recover) the
whole database.
Considerations
• If your Oracle database is localized, you may need to set the appropriate
Application Recovery Manager encoding before you start a restore. For details,
see “Localized SAP R/3 objects” on page 184.
Instant recovery
Refer to the HP Application Recovery Manager software concepts guide and HP
Application Recovery Manager software administrator's guide for general information
on instant recovery.
You can start an instant recovery using the Application Recovery Manager GUI or
CLI.
Considerations
• The database recovery part is performed after the instant recovery procedure. If
selected, the logs are reset and the database is opened.
