Hello, you should not use operating-system copy for backup/recovery (i.e. do not copy a volume). Instead of this use the backup and recovery mechanism of SAPDB in order to ensure the integrity of the database. So take the backup made at 8:00 pm, restore it and afterwards the eventually necessary log-backups (the DBMGui will show you what is needed). regards, Martin _______________________________________________ sapdb.general mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.sap.com/mailman/listinfo/sapdb.general
