DB13 vs brbackup

[Former Member]

Hi,

In our system, the backups scheduled via txn DB13 are failed with error message: Access to the specified file ordirectory is denied. But if we run the backup from SAP server (login as <sid>adm) using ‘brbackup –u / -c –t online’, the backs were done successfully. So my question is when we set up it from DB13, which domain user SAP uses to start a backup - <sid>adm or SAPService<sid>?

Thanks,

Michelle

Hello Michelle,

Please review the note 651812:

...

7. Which operating system and database users should be used with

BR*TOOLS and SAPDBA?

o Operating system users:

- WINDOWS:

With a manual call, <sid>adm should be used for all tools. If

you start from DB13, sapservice<sid> is automatically used.

...

So, the user SAPService<sid> is beingused in DB13.

Joe
