NOTE:
The BRBACKUP options override the settings in the SAP parameter file.
You can specify BRBACKUP options when you create a backup specification. If no
options are specified, the SAP R/3 application refers to the current settings in the
SAP parameter file. In such a case, before running a backup, ensure that the SAP
parameter file is correctly configured.
TIP:
When you create a backup specification, select a backup template that already contains
the desired BRBACKUP options.
Considerations
• Before you start a backup, ensure that the SAP R/3 database is in the open or
shutdown mode.
• ZDB, restore, and instant recovery sessions that use the same source volume on
the application system cannot run simultaneously.
• You cannot start a ZDB to disk session if another session is backing up the archived
logs, even if the Oracle data files and the archived logs reside on different source
volumes.
•
ZDB to disk only:
BRBACKUP displays the following error, which should be
ignored.
Ignoring BRBACKUP return value 5 because it is disk-only
backup
•
XP only:
If the LVM Mirroring configuration is used, Data Protector displays a
warning during a backup because the volume group source volumes on the
application system do not have their BC pairs assigned. The message should be
ignored.
•
ZDB to disk only:
Archived logs cannot be backed up. To back up archived logs,
create a non-ZDB (standard) SAP R/3 backup specification. For information, see
the HP Data Protector integration guide for Oracle and SAP.
• Configurable backup modes are supported only through using the templates.
