Tilo, Do the modules brbackup, brarchive etc..... Need to be on the machine that the MaxDB instance resides on? This is not the case in my situation. I thought maybe BACKINT needs those modules to execute.

File backint_adapter.config is used by that Backint for MaxDB and should look more like the following (see also http://dev.mysql.com/doc/maxdb/en/91/24b97d483411d5992500508b6b8b11/fram eset.htm for introduction and http://dev.mysql.com/doc/maxdb/en/91/24b983483411d5992500508b6b8b11/fram eset.htm for an example): STAGING AREA: /tmp/STAGE1 1 GB STAGING AREA: /tmp/STAGE2 1024 MB FILES PER BACKINT CALL: 1 BACKINT: "<path+name_to_Backint_for_Oracle_of_Veritas>" PARAMETERFILE OF BACKINT: "<path+name_of_backintoraconfig.utl>" HISTORY FILE: /sapdb/data/wrk/logs/backint_adapter.hist INPUTFILE FOR BACKINT: /sapdb/data/wrk/config/logs/backint_oracle.in OUTPUTFILE FOR BACKINT: /sapdb/data/wrk/config/logs/backint_oracle.out ERRORFILE FOR BACKINT: /sapdb/data/wrk/config/logs/backint_oracle.err MAXIMAL DELAY OF BACKINT CALL: 30 You have then also to create the parameter file of Backint for Oracle ("<path+name_of_backintoraconfig.utl>"). What has to be configured in that file should be described by Veritas's documentation. Please keep us informed over your progress.

Can you give a 10000 foot view of the config files that are needed for backint to work?

(backintoraconfig.utl) Not sure what I am missing. I am not using Oracle in this case.

I am not sure why it is not picking it up? I changed the location of the file earlier this morning but it does not seem to pick it up. Do I have to do anything special in order for the config file to see the new variable?

So far, you have taken step 3 of http://dev.mysql.com/doc/maxdb/en/83/f718a89e867446a29f5d822c409efa/fram eset.htm . The missing file is described in step 2.

I am sure my configuration is incorrect. Please see the attached. I would really like to write to tape. But I just want to get something working via backint. So I am trying the pipe. I initially tried to write to file but it told me that was not one of the choices.

If you are not trying to use such a third party tool I would suggest to rename the backup medium into something not starting with BACK. If you are trying to use such a backup tool your backup tool configuration files are not yet correct. If the latter is the case, please send file dbm.ebl to the mailing list, so that we can sort those problems out.
