BR243W Wrong creation date

[Former Member]

I am trying to restore backup taken yesterday.

The restore command is : brrestore -b <logfileneme.aft> -m full

It terminates with error

BR243W Wrong creation date 2000-01-01 00.00.00 for volume PRDB01 in device /dev/rmt0.1

BR218W Checking label on volume in device /dev/rmt0.1 failed

the out put of brbackup -i show is

BR351I Restoring /oracle/PRD/sapbackup/.tape.hdr0

BR355I from /dev/rmt0.1 ...

BR133I Label of volume in device /dev/rmt0.1:

VOLUME = PRDB01 DATE = 20000101000000 DBID = PRD ACTID = bdxoajbv FUNCID = tib USED = 2

BR280I Time stamp 2008-03-25 11.56.21

The tape is new and was initialized yesterday.

The files are that I have copied from the source system in the sapbackup folder are .aft backPRD.log *.tib files.

Let me know how I can resolve this

OS: AIX5.3

SAP: 4.7

Kernel : 640 version 196

BR218W Checking label on volume in device /dev/rmt0.1 failed

Seems issue related to device/tape

Initilaize tape by using below command and paste the result.

brbackup i- force -v scratch

Hi

Some of the tape related problems are as follows:-

Checking label on volume in device /dev/nmt0 failed

>> It happens when wrong Media Found inside Backup Drive( It may be that Internal Label is Diffnt from what expected)

Winding tape volume in device /dev/nmt0 failed

>> i.e. media is not inserted inside Tape drive or inserted media is corrupted.

(These are only manually fault,As per the technical Error,I never faced any technical issue during backup.)

Hope that you have initilised tape before carrying on the backup.

This may be of help to you.
