sort_backup_type drive
Specifies that backint should distribute the input file list in a cyclic fashion. The distribution will be amongst a number of jobs equal to the drives parameter specified in the initSID.utl file
For example, on UNIX or Linux, if there are three tape drives and 10 SAP files, the following distribution occurs:
Input file list from SAP:
/oracle/sap/sapdata1/roll_1/roll.data1 /oracle/sap/sapdata2/sourced_1/sourced.data1 /oracle/sap/sapdata3/stabd_1/stabd.data1 /oracle/sap/sapdata2/stabi_2/stabi.data2 /oracle/sap/sapdata1/temp_1/temp.data1 /oracle/sap/sapdata4/user1d_1/user1d.data1 /oracle/sap/sapdata2/user1i_1/user1i.data1 /oracle/sap/sapdata1/system_1/system.data1 /oracle/sap/saplog1/log_g1_m1/log1_m1.dbf
Backup job and restore job 1:
/oracle\sap\sapdata1\roll_1\roll.data1 /oracle\sap\sapdata2\stabi_2\stabi.data2 /oracle\sap\sapdata2\user1i_1\user1i.data1
Backup job and restore job 2:
/oracle/sap/sapdata2/sourced_1/sourced.data1 /oracle/sap/sapdata1/temp_1/temp.data1 /oracle/sap/sapdata1/system_1/system.data1
Backup job and restore job 3:
/oracle/sap/sapdata3/stabd_1/stabd.data1 /oracle/sap/sapdata4/user1d_1/user1d.data1 /oracle/sap/saplog1/log_g1_m1/log1_m1.dbf
For example, on Windows, if there are three tape drives and 10 SAP files, the following distribution occurs:
Input file list from SAP:
Backup job and restore job 1:
Backup job and restore job 2:
Backup job and restore job 3:
