Also have a look at permissions on files.

Hi,

It is clearly mentioned in the error log, that the initPBS.utl file format is not correct. Your init file's extension must be .ora. So please rename the file from initPBS.utl to initPBS.ora.

And the script uses -c option with initPBS.utl file, so please check this also in the brbackup command.

Thanks,

Sudip.

parameter -p must include a *.sap file, not the *.utl file... and not *.ora file as said by previous poster.

Hi,

ERROR: incorrect format or option in .utl file (-p)

Are you using third party S/W for backup. Some thing is wrong in your backup s/w. Consultant you backup s/w provider. Also check error logs of backup s/w.
