Hi Selvan,

ok, based on the fact that you want to edit a init<sid>.sap file, I assume you're system runs on oracle.

If you want to perform a backup to disk, just set the parameter

backup_dev_type = disk

The backup will then be written to the <b>backup_root_dir</b>.

Maybe it's a good idea to actually read this init<sid>.sap file... there are comments for each and every parameter in there, that explain their use.

These changes in the brtools parameter change the default behaviour - so this will e.g. change the location the DB13 action writes the backups to.

If you just want to make one backup to disk, then you don't need to edit the brtools profile at all.

Use the brtools or better brgui. You get a interactive user interface with these programs that allow you to specify where to write the backup to.

Simple, easy, hard to go wrong with that...

best regards,

HI Selvan,

ok, first question: what do you want to backup exactly? The database of the Solman installation or the server setup?

If you want to backup just the database, please tell us what database you're using.

If you want to backup the operating system and the solman software, tell us what operating system you're using.

In any case: be a little more specifc
