Restarting a NetBackup for SAP backup with the brbackup -f command

You can use the brbackup command's -f option to back up only the files that failed to be backed up. You do not have to specify that all files be backed up again.

The brbackup command examines the specified file. It determines the files that were backed up successfully and the files that were not backed up successfully. brbackup sends backint the list of files that still need to be backed up. brbackup starts a new job only for the files that still need to be backed up.

Example 1. The following command specifies a log file:

brbackup -d util_file -m all -c -f  bdprcayp.aff

Example 2. The following command specifies the last backup job:

brbackup -d util_file -m all -c -f last

To restart a NetBackup for SAP backup with the brbackup -f command

  • Run the brbackup command with the -f logfile parameter.

    For log file, specify one of the following:

    • The log file name of the failed job. When the log file is specified, brbackup checks it for the files that were not backed up successfully.

    • The keyword last. When this keyword is specified, brbackup checks the status of the last backup job for the files that were not backed up successfully.
