Step 1

Copy/Move the backup id file (file with extension of .anf or .pff ) to default SAP backup location on the SAP R3 server. 

i.e.  /oracle/<SID>/sapbackup

e.g. bezoagvv.anf is the backup id file in our case and we have restored it to our sapbackup location which is /oracle/TS2/sapbackup/bezoagvv.pff


Step 2

Edit the file and update the backup_dev_type to disk under PARAMETERS section.

BR0101I Parameters

Name Value

oracle_sid TS2 oracle_home /oracle/TS2/112_64 oracle_profile /oracle/TS2/112_64/dbs/initTS2.ora sapdata_home /oracle/TS2 sap_profile /oracle/TS2/112_64/dbs/initTS2.sap backup_mode PSAPSR3 backup_type offline backup_dev_type util_file system_info orats2/orats2 sap-ora Linux 3.12.49-11-default #1 SMP Wed Nov 11 20:52:43 UTC 2015 (8d714a0) x86_64 oracle_info TS2 11.2.0.3.0 8192 32 1836601 sap-ora UTF8 UTF8 1850097416 &TS2 sap_info 740 SAPSR3


Step 3

Copy/Move the other files(data file, control file) to the SAP R3 client under a folder with the name of a backup id without the extension.

e.g. We have created a folder under /oracle/TS2/sapbackup named bezoagvv. And we have copied the files already there as shown below.

sap-ora:orats2 66> pwd /oracle/TS2/sapbackup sap-ora:orats2 67> cd bezoagvv/ sap-ora:orats2 68> ls -ltr total 22445512 -rw-r--r-- 1 orats2 dba 2097160192 Oct 21 10:51 sr3.data1 -rw-r--r-- 1 orats2 dba 2097160192 Oct 21 10:57 sr3.data2 -rw-r--r-- 1 orats2 dba 2097160192 Oct 21 11:04 sr3.data3 -rw-r--r-- 1 orats2 dba 2097160192 Oct 21 11:10 sr3.data4 -rw-r--r-- 1 orats2 dba 2097160192 Oct 21 11:17 sr3.data5 -rw-r--r-- 1 orats2 dba 1614815232 Oct 21 11:23 sr3.data6 -rw-r--r-- 1 orats2 dba 2097160192 Oct 21 11:30 sr3740.data1 -rw-r--r-- 1 orats2 dba 2097160192 Oct 21 11:37 sr3740.data2 -rw-r--r-- 1 orats2 dba 2097160192 Oct 21 11:44 sr3740.data3 -rw-r--r-- 1 orats2 dba 2097160192 Oct 21 11:50 sr3740.data4 -rw-r--r-- 1 orats2 dba 1059069952 Oct 21 11:53 sr3740.data5 -rw-r--r-- 1 orats2 dba 20979712 Oct 21 11:53 sr3usr.data1 -rw-r--r-- 1 orats2 dba 734011392 Oct 21 11:55 undo.data1 -rw-r--r-- 1 orats2 dba 209723392 Oct 21 11:56 sysaux.data1 -rw-r--r-- 1 orats2 dba 450895872 Oct 21 11:57 system.data1 -rw-r--r-- 1 orats2 dba 20267008 Oct 21 11:57 cntrlTS2.dbf -rw-r--r-- 1 orats2 dba 18605 Oct 22 16:16 bezoagvv.anf


Step 3

Modify the #SAVED path in the backup id file pointing to the location where your restored files are. e.g. In our case the files are in /oracle/TS2/sapbackup/bezoagvv/ , so we replaced the path under #SAVED to the path where our files are i.e. /oracle/TS2/sapbackup/bezoagvv/


BR0280I BRBACKUP time stamp: 2018-10-09 16.59.21

  1. FILE..... /oracle/TS2/sapdata3/sr3740_1/sr3740.data1
  2. SAVED.... /oracle/TS2/sapbackup/bezoagvv/sr3740.data1


Note.png Note: Please note that this method will overwrite the existing data files. In case you want to avoid overwrite #FILE section of the backupid file could be modified. Please follow the SAP documentation for more details on this.


Step 4

Run brrestore on SAP Oracle Client and feed it the backup id file. Command is : brrestore -b <backup id> -d disk where d is to read the data from disk. It has to be run under the database user.

e.g. In our case we ran the command as below. brrestore -b bezoagvv.anf -d disk

You would this warning if you have chose to overwrite the existing data files and other notifications as per your selections.
