Restore brbackup log file

[Former Member]

Hello everybody,

Do you know how it is possible to restore the brbackup log file with brrestore in the case where this file has been removed at the filesystem level ?

In fact, this file (named *.aff) is mandatory by brrestore option -b. But, if this file no longer exists, what to do ?

Thank for your help...

The backup is made by brbackup.

The result of brbackup is logged is a file *.aff.

So, brbackup backups this file at the end of the backup session.

If the disk is lost, we no longer have any .aff file to give as -b parameter of the tool brrestore.

In that case, we cannot restore any file.

Is there a way to run brrestore or any other br* tool without giving this file as parameter ?

I suppose brbackup writes to tapes.

In this case one of the last files being saved will be the *.aff log file.

It's still there!

Retrieving it from tape is possible (but cumbersome).

you need to restore the detail backup log:

brrestore -n det_log

Hello Daniel,

the question is - how do you backup your database?

Are you using tools like TDP for mySAP? If yes you have a tool called backfm (for example) to restore the needed logfile.
