Summary :
This SAP Note details the use of BRBACKUP and BRARCHIVE for backing up Oracle databases in SAP Releases 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2. It emphasizes the importance of reading the latest online documentation as several restrictions have been relaxed and functions enhanced in later releases. The note provides an overview of terminology, maintenance levels, and objects backed up by these programs, such as data files, redo logs, and control files. BRBACKUP and BRARCHIVE can be executed from the UNIX command line or SAPDBA menu and support multiple backup media, including local/remote tape devices and NFS-mounted disks. Non-database files need separate handling using UNIX utilities.
