Full Backup
To back up an SAP on Oracle database using RMAN, you must use the brbackup tool with the rman_util parameter and with the defined directory for SBT library.
brbackup -p $Oracle_HOME/dbs/veeam_initSID.sap -t online -d rman_util -m full -u <user>/<password> |
- Specify the path to the initialization profile file (veeam_initSID.sap) as the argument for the -p (-profile) parameter.
- Specify rman_util as the argument for the -d (-device) parameter. This option defines that the backup will be performed using Oracle RMAN.
- Specify online as the argument for the -t (-type) parameter. With this option, BRBACKUP performs backup of the database in the online state.
- Specify full as the argument for the -m (-mode) parameter. With this option, BRBACKUP performs backup of files in all tablespaces, control files and redo log files.
- Specify credentials that will be used to connect to the database as the argument for the -u (-user) parameter. For details, see this SAP article.
