Hi Everybody,

We are facing Backup problem on production server since monday details are given below ,

Since Monday We are unable to take Backup of the Production Server ,

Before that due to Powercut problem Production Server was Shutdown from Wednesday Evening to Monday Morning .

Before that We Performed off-line backup of Production Server which was completed successfully .

We Cancelled Scheduled backups of Following days ,

Thursday-All On-line Backup

Friday - Archive Log Backup

Saturday - Archivelog Backup

Sunday - Archivelog Backup

Tape Drive was also shutdown during these four days .

On Monday we want to test backup wheather all is working fine or not ,

We had taken a test backup on archivelog tape it was successful(with start immediate option in db13 ),and the tape was also ejected successfully .

But in the archive log night Backup is not completed successfully ,and tape remains in the tape drive.

In brbackup,brarchive tape label was not identifying .

So that Yesterday Evening we run UPDATE RATE COMPRESSION , and after that tried to take off-line backup but tape is initializing not taking backup on tape its performing on D DRIVE OF PRODUCTION SERVER.

Even We tried to perform Forcefully backup but its not performing by Command line .

Yesterday night While taking off-line backup all lights of tape drives are blinking.

Cleaning tape is used to clean the tape head .

I am attaching the log of the failed backup Please give me solution as earliest .

Hi Rohit,

My first piece of guidance would be to post this problem in a more appropriate forum - this forum is called Suggestions and Comments. Try posting your problem in one of the Database and OS Platforms forums for instance.

Or try searching the forums as well first.
