missing backups when trying to restore

[Former Member]

Hey everyone,

We are trying to test our backups / restores on a clone backup system.

We took a backup of the original system using brtools/backed up to netbackup, and in we could see the netbackup utility took the backup well, and the backup was listed as successful in db12.

However, when trying to restore this on the clone system, only 2 backups seem to come up when trying to restore the whole database... both these backups are very old (and ones we did to disk before netbackup backup was setup).

Does anyone know what I could look at (I'm out of ideas) in terms of why BRTOOLS cannot see the backup in netbackup?

Any help at this point would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks

Richard

Hi Richard,

you have to sync the following directories from source to target (clone).

/oracle/SID/sapbackup

/oracle/SID/saparch

you need the detail logs and backSID.log

brtools need this information to restore the backups.

Thank you so much guys.

The issue was with the backSID.log.. For some reason, they ended up restoring an older copy... and of course I could not see my backup.

Thanks for all the help guys.. appriciate it big time.
