Stand By Server backup Fails - 0 free backup volumes found, 1 required

271 Views

Hello

When im getting the backup of the Stand By (SB) server It gives follwing error

"0 free backup volumes found, 1 required"

After some research i have come across the init<sid>.sap parameter file in SB server as follows

volume_backup 
PRDB01,PRDB02,PRDB03,PRDB04,PRDB05,PRDB06,PRDB07,PRDB08,PRDB09,PRDB10, 
PRDB11,PRDB12,PRDB13,PRDB14,PRDB15,PRDB16,PRDB17,PRDB18,PRDB19,PRDB20, 
PRDB21,PRDB22,PRDB23,PRDB24,PRDB25,PRDB26,PRDB27,PRDB28,PRDB29,PRDB30 
expir_period 29
tape_use_count 100

In here pls, let me know whats mean by expir_period ?

If we are using 14 days backup cycle (14 tapes, what should be the value of this "expir_period"

What would happens if "expir_period" = 0

Regards,

Zera
