Hi All,

I am using the brbackup to do the backup and i configured the init<SID>.sap file and i started the brbackup tool from the command prompt . I am getting the problem at password the password containing Basis@2008.

what user i have to use (i guess ; SAPSR3) and how the password can i pass.

Can any one help me.

Thanks & Regards,

follow

brbackup -u / -c force -t <backup_mode> -m all -p init<SID>.sap

if you want to add archive log then add following command

-a -c force -p init<SID>.sap -sd

We can give the password as "Basis@2008"

Hello Everyone,

My problem is solved, i was logged in with <sid>adm account it has all database administration and operation privileges at operating system level.

I didn't enter any username and password, it accepted to do the backup.

this is a known problem, you cannot use a password with the @ sign.

Why because in your case, it will try to connect to system names 2008 (basis@2008).

So, change password to one with no sign.
