Its recommened to use SAPDBA fot restoration.If you use BRRRESTORE command ,it prompts the destination directory.First restore to separate directory and then move the files.Otherwise your existing files will be overwritten.

When was your last backup? -----Original Message----- From: J Sorensen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 09, 2002 6:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: failed brrestore deleted my entire SAP database I ran the brrestore and the restore failed due to the files not being available on the server. That was due to them having expired. However, the brrestore deleted all of my database files on the server. Not only was I not able to restore what I wanted, brrestore deleted what I had!! I opened a ticket with Tivoli. They concluded it was SAP' s brrestore that was responsible and suggested I contact SAP. Has anyone else ever heard of this? Is it supposed to work this way? I think this is a really bad thing.... Thank you...... My environment is as follows: TSM server version 4.2.2.4 TSM server os Aix version 4.3.3 ml 06 TSM client os HP/UX 11 TSM Client version 4.2.1 SAP TDP version 3.2.0.8 SAP brrestore version 3.1I --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!?
