Disaster recovery using BRRECOVER
When you run disaster recovery using BRRECOVER, if the initSID.sap file is not present, BRRECOVER calls BACKINT without the "-p init<SID>.utl" parameter.
If NetBackup for SAP is called without the util file parameter, it checks for the SAP_RECOVERY environment variable. If the environment variable is set to "disaster", the restore is allowed without util file parameter. NetBackup for SAP then restores using the default SAP policy.
