Oracle Backup to the external medium from DB13 via FTP

[Former Member]

Hi oracle experts!

I have difficulty by setting up the the backup to the remote directory (on Unix Server) via FTP from DB13 on Windows (Enterprise Server 64 bit).

The parameters I have set up are in initDBSID.sap:

backup_dev_type = stage

stage_root_dir = folder/subfolder/DEV (important with “\” it does not work)

archive_stage_dir = folder/subfolder/DEV (important with “\” it does not work)

stage_copy_cmd = ftp

remote_host = myremotehost

remote_user = "user password"

My problem is that all the files creating by backup or redo logs are stored under folder/subfolder and NOT as desired on folder/subfolder/DEV.

Can some one describe how the desired path to the directory myremotehost\ \folder\subfolder\DEV can be created for backup?

Which parameters in init<DBSID>.sap are responsible for this issue?

Thank you very much indeed

stage_root_dir

archive_copy_dir

to your ftp location?

Hi!

Of course I have set these parameters.

My problem is that I execute backup from Windows to remote Unix-share via FTP.

The file names are very strange e.g. S3FV1~6

The second problem is that the files will bw written to the wrong directory

(I have set the path to "sap/backup" and hte files wil be written to "sap").

The third problem I have: I habe two SAP Systems installed on the same host.

If I execute redo logs archive from DB13 I get the error "no files processing".

How can I set up this issue?

Thank you very much

regards
