Error if we schedule Backup in DB13

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

I am getting an error, if we schedule back up from DB13. It is saying "file size is greater than it can fit in an cpio header--limit is 32 bits". This error is occuring when PSAPDATA3\undo_1\undo.data1 file is in backup process. And undo.data1 file is 5GB in size. Is this could be problem or any other problem with settings in InitSID.sap. Please help me with your valuable solutions.

HI nageshwar,

Check the initSID.sap file for parameters CPio, dd that has mentioned. Change that according to your OS and the tape parameters also needed to be set based on your OS. After doing changes, try the backup.

Hi,

You may have hit a 4 GB 32 bits limitation. Search the OSS notes to try to confirm this and see what would be the workaround.
