Not good? What is unclear? The document

BRTools to Back Up the Oracle Database*

is a very good document and explains in-depth how the backup is working.

hi Markus Doehr

i already i followed that document but that document tells change parameters in initSID.sap file.it has default tape backup.for disk back up can i change in that parameter file or can i take directly from DB13 tcode

Yes - if you want to do a disk backup you have to change the init<SID>.sap file accordingly.

it will not ask the disk location you have to configure the file init<SID>.sap first before starting the backup. also make sure that you have sufficient free space.
