NetBackup for SAP backup and restore log files

The following directories contain log files for different types of backups and restores:

Windows:

%SAPDATA_HOME%\sapbackup

UNIX or Linux:

$SAPDATA_HOME/sapbackup

The files in this directory are named according to the following pattern:

  • The summary log file is named backSID.log, where SID is the unique name for the Oracle database instance.

  • The detail log files are named encoded_timestamp.xyz, where:

    encoded_timestamp

    A timestamp that is used in each detail log name that guarantees a unique file name.

    xyz for backup logs:

    x

    a represents all, i represents incremental, p represents partial.

    y

    n represents online. f represents offline.

    z

    f represents util_file backup, r represents rman_util backup

    xyz for restore logs:

    xyz

    rsb represents restore backup files.

    xyz

    rsa represents restore archive files.

    xyz

    rsf represents restore individual files.
