backPRD.log File Suddenly Increases to 78GB in SAPBACKUP folder in Linux server

Dear Experts,

There is a problem in our SAP Production server. As earlier when i check the space it is good and after 25 Minutes while i am checking of the Directory spaces, the Backup folder size increases suddenly to 100 more than earlier it is. The backPRD.log file size earlier it is 13 MB and it is Now showing as 78 GB. Is there any thing to resolve the issue and i have checked some forms also there is no thread for the same issue. With this the Restoration is also not possible Using the Source system Backup on Target system.

Thanks, Regards,

Harsha.

Hi Harsha

You may want to find out what the file was filed with. Try to read recent 100 lines to see what was added to it.

Hi Sanjay,

Could you confirm for

1.Any recent changes into DB as well as at the end of backup device (Could be a third party software or hardware) ?

2.Any recent SP,kernel,DB upgrade as well as OS upgrade activity performed at your end ?

3.Any modifications under backup schedule if using it from DB13 or any changes under third party scripts ?

4.Have you activated trace for the system ?

Addition to all if you're able to login to system than please share system logs from SM21,recent dump details from ST22 if any.

With this the Restoration is also not possible Using the Source system Backup on Target system.

With the above logs would like to check alert_<SID>.log file as well.

Regards,

Gaurav
