Hi,

The error message is as follows:

cpio: Directory "E:\oracle\A01\sapbackup\A01": The system cannot find the file specified.

Make sure either this directory "E:\oracle\A01\sapbackup\A01" exists with approproate permissions, as this is the quickest solution.

But you can also check the init<DBSID>.sap BR*Tools Parameter File and scan for this value. Once you find it correct it to a valid directory.
I recommend to pay special attention to like backup_root_dir. For more details on the initialization parameters of BR*Tools, please read below Help Page:
