Performing an SAP archive
An archive is performed in a fashion similar to a backup, but using brarchive instead of brbackup, or alternatively using brbackup -a. You can use the NetBackup multiple copies feature or brarchive command to create multiple copies that are stored on separate media or media servers. Depending on how you use NetBackup for SAP, create archive log backups copies with the method that is easiest for you.
The following examples show how to backup and restore an SAP archive:
Example 1 | Issue the following command to create the SAP archive: brarchive -d util_file -s |
Example 2 | To restore the first available copy of an archive log file, issue the following command: brrestore -d util_file -a log_number where log_number is the number of the archive log you want to restore. |
