Follow the steps below to recover SAP R/3 data.

Step 1

Restore the backup id file (the file with an extension of .anf or .pff) from NBU to the default SAP backup location.

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

Example: We have the file bezmwlru.pff from NBU which needs to be restored to the SAP Oracle TS2 instance. So we restore it to the required location of /oracle/TS2/sapbackup/bezmwlru.pff

Step 2

Restore the data and control files from NBU to the SAP Oracle client under a folder with the name of the Backup ID (create the folder under "/oracle/<SID>/sapbackup" directory. Make sure to name it without using the extension type from the Backup ID.

Take for example Step 1, were we restore all data files and control file to a folder on a SAP Oracle client named bezmwlru.

Step 3

WARNING: Please be aware, that the following step will overwrite any existing data files. If you do not want to overwrite files, modify the #FILE path Backup ID file (bezmwlru.pff)to the location where we want to restore the data.

Modify the #SAVED path in the Backup ID file pointing to the location where your restored files are.

E.g. If you are restoring a data file and your data file is under location /oracle/TS2/sapbackup/bezmwlru/sr3.data6 then replace the #SAVED parameters in Backup ID file with the above location.

Step 4

Run "brrestore" on the SAP Oracle Client and feed it the Backup ID file.

Example: brrestore to Backup ID file bezmwlru will be run as /sapmnt/TS2/exe/uc/linuxx86_64/ brrestore -b bezmwlru.pff
