Failed Backup

[Former Member]

hi,

i got a weird problem in backup in our DEV system,

we scheduled backup from mon-fri,the backup failed during tuesday and wednesday only. at first i suspected that my tape media is damaged but when i replaced new tape media still same error occurred. here is the backup logs:

BR0278E Command output of 'LANG=C cd /oracle/MID/sapbackup && /usr/sap/MID/SYS/exe/run/brtools -f detach LANG=C cpio -iuvB .tape.hdr0 < /dev/r

Out of phase get help

Perhaps the "-c" option should be used

BR0280I BRBACKUP time stamp: 2008-10-29 23.45.22

BR0279E Return code from 'LANG=C cd /oracle/MID/sapbackup && /usr/sap/MID/SYS/exe/run/brtools -f detach LANG=C cpio -iuvB .tape.hdr0 < /dev/rm

BR0359E Restore of /oracle/MID/sapbackup/.tape.hdr0 from /dev/rmt/0mn failed due to previous errors

BR0218E Checking label on volume in device /dev/rmt/0mn failed

BR0236I Perhaps volume initialization with option '-i force' required

BR0056I End of database backup: bdzdictc.ant 2008-10-29 23.45.22

BR0280I BRBACKUP time stamp: 2008-10-29 23.45.22

BR0054I BRBACKUP terminated with errors

Thanks,

Hi,

These error ditails are showing that your didnot initialize you new tape. Please initialize new tape through DB13 or at OS level.

Checking label on volume in device /dev/rmt/0mn failed

Please user -i force when you are going through OS level.

warm regards

Yes, this problem still occuring.. Should be the -c option required in the brtools command line?

Thanks,

Perhaps the "-c" option should be used

Did you try ?

Perhaps volume initialization with option '-i force' required

Did you label the new tape?
