Recovery using Pipes

Dear MaxDB Guru's

I am trying to restore a maxdb database from one server to another server using Windows Pipes.

I am following the steps exactly as per SAP note 489615. and after following the note.


1. I start the complete full database backup on the Primary system on the Pipe medium


2. Then I start the recovery on the Standby system --> during recovery I select "recovery with initialization".


But it gives me error on both primary and standby.

Primary database error message :

Job 1 (Backup / Restore Medium Task) [executing] WaitingT565 Result=3700

                         10880 ERR     -24778 DBMSrv   Error in backup task occured, Error code 3700 "hostfile_error"
