Brrestore issue delete datafiles

[Former Member]

Hello,

Yesterday, we have run by mistake a brrestore command on our production server.

We have kill it few seconds later but all datafiles were deleted.

Is it the normal run for brrestore to delete existing datafiles before starting the restoration?

Our instance was up. Brrestore doesn't check if SAP is up before restoring?

Thanks for your help.

what options have you used in your brrestore command? If you use option "-c force", then you are bypassing prompts including "SAP is running" message.

As per me it overwrites the exisiting files. Check switches you have used in the command or the brtools profile file.

It must have taken your database in mount state. isn't it?
