Examples of SAP R/3 Database Restore

2.Select the Show the list of damaged files to determine the files that need to be restored.

The SAPDBA utility lists all the lost files and their backup files. Each file shown in the list contains one of the following comments:

•Backup file: <name> on <tape/disk>

Backed up by <name of the external backup program>

This means that the file was backed up using the specific program. This comment appears when the parameter backup_util_name of the profile init<DBSID>.dba contains the name of the external backup program. Otherwise, the comment is displayed as, for example: ext. backup utility.

•No restore of a backup file required

This means that the existing file can be used.

•No backup file found

This means that no backup was found for this file in the specified period of time.

3.Select the Show the list of backup files option to specify the lost files for which you would like to see the available backup files. Each file that has been lost can have several backup files.

4.Select the Select a backup file for restore if you would like to change the proposed backup file, that should be restored. The file that is selected for the restore is flagged with Selected for restore.

5.Select the Select a BRBACKUP run for restore if you want to change the newest found backup file for each individual file from which the requested files can be restored. You can change this setting, for example, if all the files for restore were backed up in the same backup session and you want to specify only that backup session. The following information is listed:

•Sequential number of the backup file found

•Coded timestamp, date and time of the backup

•The medium on which the backup was performed

•The number of files found in this backup which are to be restored

6.Select the Return option to continue with the recovery process.
