Oracle DB Restore via dbacockpit ?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I've backed up the Oracle db via dbacockpit. Why isn't there any restoration option ?

Do I need to use brtools to restore ?

Please advise.

TIA !

Restore need an offline system.

When your system offline, you cannot login to dbacockpit, i think that why the're no restore menu on db13 or dbacockpit.

do restore from brtools with brrestore command.

SAP needs a database to work properly... and a database need to be down to be restored.. see the catch-22 situation?

Because a restore has completely different effects than a backup.

When you backup your database, the system keeps running, this is not the case with a restore.

A restore of an Oracle database is a extremly complex process with thousands of different options and things to take care of.

Plus - this is nothing to be done on a scheduled base, whereas a backup is.

Yes, you do.
