I'm running sapdb 7.4.03.14 (kit downloaded from sapdb.org) on RedHat Linux advanced server 7.1. I'm trying to use the sapdb backint interface to backup and restore the database - I have written a shellscript that implements the backint interface.
I've had some help from Tilo Heinrich on a problem I had getting the backup_start command to work. Tilo sent me a new dbmcli that I can use in -s mode, and with that I can do saves using my backint interface - thanks, Tilo. I'm making a parallel backup using two media. Now I'm on to the important bit - restores. First, I tried 'recover_start' using the dbmcli from the 7.4.03.14 kit. This fails, error '-4,protocol error'. So I switched to the dbmcli that Tilo sent me, in -s mode. To do the restore I issue the command: recover_start backdata data externalbackupid "rh71SAPDB1F001, rh71SAPDB1F001" And the error I get is: -24925,ERR_PREPARE: preparation of backup operation failed The list of external backup ID's contains no external backup ID at list element 1. I attach dbm.prt and dbm.ebp. Any help would be appreciated. David Lane
