Change backup location for MaxDB

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

We have DMS servers (Dev and Prod), the database is MaxDB (No SAP).

The Backup of DMS Prod takes places in the file system of DMS Dev.

I want to change the location of DMS Prod to DMS Prod file system itself.

I have created new Medium, created new Scheduled tasks and edited the backup scripts, but still no success.

Kindly help me.

Regards

Hi Harikrishna,

From MaxDB point of view, you can change the location of your backup by modifying the existing backup template or create a new template specifying the new location.

Read the following Wiki documentation

SAP Community Network Wiki - MaxDB - HowTo - SAP MaxDB backup with Database Manager CLI

Hope this helps

I have created new Medium

The backup target directory and filename are configure in the medium "Device/File" space.

but still no success.

Your schedule/script must be calling the wrong medium, have you tried to start a backup manually using the new medium?, that will discard a problem with the medium itself. Also make sure to check your mounted filesystem (shared drives)

Hi Juan

the script is calling the correct medium.

One doubt, I have created a medium that defines the backup location, the script also defines the backup location and file name.

From where the scheduler read the backup location ??

Usually the script should call the medium, no required to call the path/location on the script.

Example,

dbmcli -d <DBSID> -u <dbuser,password> -uUTL  backup_start <medium> <backup_type>
