Online Backup error

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am trying to perform a SAP backup using “backup_dev_type = stage_copy” and “backup_type = online_cons”. The script fails when try to copy E:\oracle\<<SID>>\sapbackup\cntrl<<SID>>.dbf to

C:/backup2/<<SID>>\saparch\cntrl\cntrl<<SID>>.dbf'.

Maybe it can be helpful:

1. E:\oracle\<<SID>>\sapbackup directory does not contain this file.

2. The stage copy command is ftp (stage_copy_cmd = ftp). The log, when

the backup crashes, shows that the backup method tried to copy this file using an absolute URL (the others files are copied using relative URL).

Attached part of log file:

check whether your init<SID>.sap files contains <<SID>> placeholders instead of the right value for SID

<SID> or <SAPSID> or <DBSID> are commonly used placeholders which typically have to be replaced

by your choosen value for SID (eg. C11, PRD etc)

Hi Oscar,

Please check the paramter

stage_root_dir =

Make sure you type C:\backup2 not c:/backup2

From the message:

C:/backup2/<<SID>>\saparch\cntrl\cntrl<<SID>>.dbf: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

I think this may be cause by the / as windows know \ as directory sparator.

Hope this Help.
