How to make online backup restored to other host

[Former Member]

Hello

I wander how to get online backup restored on an different host within
"System Copy for SAP Systems Based on SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Including
Enhancement Package 1 SR 1 ABAP"

The chapter is saying:

1. 5.1.2.2Creating an Offline or Online Backup with BR*Tools

You can use any backup strategy supported by BR*Tools as the basis for a
system copy: offline or online, with or without BACKINT, with or without RMAN,
complete or incremental, and so on. The backup strategy must simply be valid
for restore and recovery. This means that a complete restore and recovery of
the source database must be possible. In addition for BACKINT and RMAN, the
external backup tools must be configured so that a restore is possible on the
target host.

We have integrated backup via backint and we can restore online backup

With:

> setenv OB2APPNAME <SID>

>setenv OB2BARLIST <BACKUP NAME>

And then via
brtools-> 5 - Restore and recovery-> 2 - Database point-in-time recovery...

But I have no idea how to get such an online backup restored to other host. I could also
perform restore of files  from online backup dataprotector

Is there some usefull link or blog with screenshot?

Thank you a lot in advance

Hello

I believe you are using a TSM storage solution for the database backups.

In that case you need to first make sure that the target server is able to communicate with the TSM server.

For that you may contact the TSM specialist to plug the target server for the database restore.

Once that is done you need to copy the files used by the backup from the source system to the target system.

Files required are : .utl, .sap (located at /oracle/SID/112_64/dbs), backup logs including the backupSID.log (located at /oracle/SID/sapbackup), TSM password/config file.

Once they are copid to the target system you can start the restore with the brrestore tool.

If you are using an online backup the you need to restore the archived logs as well to recover the database.
