BRTOOLS Backup Restore

The document provides instructions for taking an offline backup of an Oracle database that is used by an SAP instance. The process involves stopping the SAP instance but leaving the database running, taking a full database backup using the brbackup tool, copying the backup files to a target server, and then using brrestore to restore the backup on the target server. The restoration process involves bringing down the database and SAP instance, restoring the backup files, starting the database and listener, and then starting the SAP instance to validate the backup restore.

* BRBACKUP checks for the running database and it brings down before the backup runs. If
the Oracle DB is not running, the tool terminates.
5. Ensure the profile file init<SID>.sap has been configured for the backup storage directory to the target
location e.g. /oracle/<SID>/sapbackup and there is enough space for storing the full backup.

All the data files will be copied to this folder. The offline DB backup size will almost be equivalent to the
DB size.
6. Run the Backup using the following command
x:\>brbackup -u / -c force -p init<SID>.sap -d disk -t offline -m all

Keep monitoring the screen. This will take about 30 mins, and you will see a successful message at the
end.

* Make a note of the latest backup file created under /oracle/<SID>/sapbackup . This will also be
mentioned in back<SID>.log file under /oracle/<SID>/sapbackup.

7. Copy all the content from this backup folder /oracle/<SID>/sapbackup to the same location on target
server

/oracle/<SID>/sapbackup to /oracle/<SID>/11x_64/dbs

x:\>brrestore -u / -c force -m all b <backup file name.ext>
