brbackup -k only

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I got warning message after performing backup " Compression rates out of date - run BRBACKUP with option '-k only' ". I read in this forum the solution is to run command "brbackup -k only" in OS level. But after i run it I got error :

BR0068E SAP system is running or SAP user is connected to database JMD - database cannot be shut down

BR1025I Please shut down SAP system first or use the 'offline_force' option

Is it needed to run brbackup -k only in SAP mode offline?

Thanks any input will be appreciate..

Regards

Is it needed to run brbackup -k only in SAP mode offline?

No.

But unless specified otherwise, brbackup will try to use the backup_type from your init<SID>.sap file. And I suppose that is set to offline.

The obvious workaround:

brbackup -k only -t online
