Is there a way on maxdb to force netbackup to use different initSID.utl files ? I have try to do it with different bsi.env file . But if i start the backup it keep on asking for the default bsi.env file in /sapdb/data/wrk/SID directory . I have set the variable BSI.ENV to the new file but it looks like it ignore it. Its on a sun solaris operating system

Due to security reasons the DBM server process does no longer inherit environment variables from its caller, e.g. dbmcli.

see PTS 1155045, as especially in the area of external backup tools inheriting environment settings seem to be rather common.

Idea is to add BSI_ENV to the dbm.cfg file with a command like:

dbmcli -d ... -u ... dbm_configset BSI_ENV

For further information please refer to this documentation section

or for Backint also here
