Legato + SAP: Help on Configuring Incremental Backups

[Former Member]

Hi All,

This is our Infrastructure:

SAP ECC 6.0

Windows: 2003 Server

Oracle 10G

We want to implement an Online Backup Strategic, for example:

From Monday to Thursday an incremental backup.

Friday: an Online Full Backup.

In teory legato delegates the responsability of the Backups on the BR*Tools utilities. Previously we had set the backup_mode parameter (in the initSID>.sap file) to FULL and through legato configuration you can set: FULL or INCR. But probably legato send a order to the SAP BRTOOLS and the SAP BRTOOLS try to use the initSID>.sap file that is set to FULL in consecuence you aren't sure about what type of backup did you have. there any oficcial documentation about this Legato + SAP? And how to configure SAP with legato?

One posible solution is to set From Monday to Thursday the backup_mode parameter to INCR. and Friday set it to FULL

If somebody has configured the Backups with legato, please some

tips.

Hi All!

We did this test:

Change the parameter from FULL to INCR in the initSID>.sap file. Them we run legato utility in INCR mode. The backup crash! immediate we really don't know what is happening, it could be that legato can't work wiht Incremental Online Backups?

Error message? Legato version? Unfortunately nobody has a magic ball to look what was going wrong...

Hi!

We are using Legato Networker User 7.3

The messages for the saveset are (Legato Error):

1 retry attempted

No full backups of this save set were found in the media database;

performing a full backup.

exiting nsrsapsv.

Backup Failed. Could not execute brbackup.

But in fact we had an Online Full Backup if you change the parameter backup_mode from INCR to FULL it works.

The EMC support wash his hands saying that for the ONLINE backups SAP is the responsabile ofthe configuration, and the only choice that we had is to work with initSID>.sap and initSID<.utl configuration files.

So: Does Legato Support Online Incremental Backup using SAP?

If yes, I would appreciate some Guides, Documentation, tips.
