Locating the Backint log file that contains the backup detail information

Answer

By default, the BR*Tools log files will contain the output of the Data Protection for SAP^® processing. These files will be placed in the directory pointed to by the SAPDATA_HOME variable:

• SAPDATA_HOME/sapbackup for BRBACKUP and BRRESTORE
• SAPDATA_HOME/saparch for BRARCHIVE (archive redo logs)

• BRBACKUP detail log, where:

x = a (whole, previously all), p (partial) , f (full), i (incremental)
y = n (online) or f (offline)
z = t (tape), p (pipe), d (disk), f (util_file) , r (RMAN), s (remote disk, stage)
For example a full, offline backup using the util_file would have the extension .aff.

• BRARCHIVE detail log, where:

xyz = sve Original saved
xyz = svd Original saved and deleted
xyz = cpy Original copied
xyz = cpd Original copied and deleted
xyz = dsv Deleted, were saved once
xyz = dcp Deleted, were saved twice
xyz = ssv Parallel saved on two stations
xyz = ssd Parallel saved on two stations and deleted
xyz = cps Copy and save
xyz = cds Copy, delete and save
xyz = qua Query which tapes to be used
xyz = cma Determination of software compression rate
xyz = tia Tape initialization
xyz = fst Stop archiving using brarchive –f stop

• BRRESTORE detail log, where:

xyz = rsb Restore backup files
xyz = rsa Restore archive files
xyz = rsf Restore individual files

• Additional extensions:

xyz = qub Query for which tapes are to be used
xyz = cmb Determination of software compression rate
xyz = tib Tape initialization
xyz = rmp RMAN preparation run
xyz = dbv Database verification with DBVERIFY
xyz = ddb Delete of disk backup
