sapbackup archive log backup not happening

[former_member428509]

Hi,

I have configured all backup parameters in init<SID> profile

backup_mode = full

backup_type = offline

backup_dev_type = tape

backup_root_dir = /oracle/TRP/sapbackup

stage_root_dir = /oracle/TRP/sapbackup

compress = no

compress_dir = /oracle/TRP/sapreorg

archive_function = copy_delete_save

archive_copy_dir = /oracle/TRP/sapbackup

archive_stage_dir = /oracle/TRP/sapbackup

tape_copy_cmd = dd

disk_copy_cmd = copy

rewind = "tctl -f $ rewind"

rewind_offline = "tctl -f $ offline"

tape_pos_cmd = "tctl -f $ fsf $"

tape_address = /dev/rmt0.1

tape_address_rew = /dev/rmt0

volume_backup = (TRPB01, TRPB02, TRPB03, TRPB04, TRPB05,

TRPB06, TRPB07, TRPB08, TRPB09, TRPB10,

TRPB11, TRPB12, TRPB13, TRPB14, TRPB15,

TRPB16, TRPB17, TRPB18, TRPB19, TRPB20,

TRPB21, TRPB22, TRPB23, TRPB24, TRPB25,

TRPB26, TRPB27, TRPB28, TRPB29, TRPB30)

expir_period = 30

tape_use_count = 100

I am facing the below problem

1)

when iam triggering backup from brtools, brbackup is

RBACKUP completed successfully, but it is not starting brarchive.

i tried archive_function = save_delete also, only database backup is completing, but it is not starting archive log backup.

there is no log in /oracle/<SID>/saparch.

When i am triggering the full offline+redo log backup from DB13, it is happening

2)

Voluem_backup 30 volumes are there.

First time when i took the backup, TRPB01 volume is used.

next time when i am triggering the backup brbackup is ended with the below error

BR0105E 0 free backup volumes found, 1 required

When i am initilizing the tape, it is not taking next volue i.e: TRPB02, it is taking TRPB01 only.

Whey the autoincrementing is not happening.

So i changed the parameter expir_period =0 and i triggered the backup.

Raj

RBACKUP completed successfully, but it is not starting brarchive.

That's expected behaviour.

brbackup by itself will not start brarchive.

it is not taking next volue i.e: TRPB02, it is taking TRPB01 only.

Look for clues in the log file of brbackup.

Make sure you are really using the init<SID>.sap file you think you are using.

hope this helps
