At this stage, you should have performed all the verification steps described in the previous sections. After this, proceed as follows:

1.Verify that a backup object exists on the backup media and in the IDB:

This can be done by executing the command

<Data_Protector_home>\bin\omnidb -SAP "<object_name>" -session "<Session_ID>" -media

on the SAP R/3 Database Server system.

The output of the command lists detailed information about the specified backup object, session IDs of the backup sessions containing this object, and a list of the media used.

For detailed syntax of the omnidb command, run:

<Data_Protector_home>\bin\omnidb -help
