BRBACKUP for ASM DB

[Former Member]

Hello,

Do we have some option for backup without using RMAN for ASM DB?

I want to invoke the backint to call the third party MMS backup for ASM DB instance.

./brbackup -u / -p initCSV.sap
BR0051I BRBACKUP 7.20 (31)
BR0055I Start of database backup: belhpxta.anf 2013-05-29 07.12.34
BR0484I BRBACKUP log file: /oracle/CSV/11203/sapbackup/belhpxta .anf
BR0477I Oracle pfile /oracle/CSV/11203/dbs/initCSV.ora created from spfile /oracle/CSV/11203/dbs/spfileCSV.ora

BR0280I BRBACKUP time stamp: 2013-05-29 07.12.34
BR0319I Control file copy created: /oracle/CSV/11203/sapbackup/cntrlCSV.dbf 20267008

BR2011E Only RMAN backups supported for ASM database files

BR0056I End of database backup: belhpxta.anf 2013-05-29 07.12.35
BR0280I BRBACKUP time stamp: 2013-05-29 07.12.35
BR0054I BRBACKUP terminated with errors

Thanks in Advance

Regards,

Amit

Hi Amit,

Please refer SAP

Thanks a lot Deepak.

below is the copy paste from the above mentioned sap Note 1627541

1. 3.1 Backup, Restore, Recovery
   -----------------------------
   ASM database files (data files and archive log files) can only be backed up with Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN). For this reason, BR*Tools only support the following backup types in the ASM environment:
   
   backup_dev_type = rman_util | rman_disk | rman_stage
   
   backup_dev_type = disk
   disk_copy_cmd = rman | rman_set
   
   backup_dev_type = tape | pipe
   tape_copy_cmd = rman
   
   "backup_dev_type = disk_copy | disk_standby" in connection with "disk_copy_cmd = rman" is not supported for ASM.

Amit
