Overview Backup testing Findings Recovery procedure

Recovery procedure

  • Recovery of an SAP system to its most recent state is required when the database becomes unusable because of a hardware failure or other issue. This section shows how to recover the SAP system using BRtools.

    1. Shut down the SAP system and database.
    2. Run BRtools and select Restore and recovery > Database point-in-time recovery.
    3. Choose the file that was backed up in the previous backup procedure, as shown Figure 55.

    Figure 55.                      Backup files for recovery

    1. Type c to continue the recovery, and then wait until the restore operation finishes, as shown in Figure 56.

    2. Start the database and SAP application and check the SAP status by issuing the “sick” transaction code, as shown in Figure 57.
