SAP restore
I am witnessing a very strange query today regarding Online SAP backup.
One customer regularly takes online SAP backup using SAP module and restores it on a different server using Networker User.
I do not know how does that happen. There is no file system backup of this SAP client.
I am being asked to restore two such data files which are not now visible in Networker User.
It is possible that onlien backup is visible under Networker User and you can restore it as you restore a File System.

But is it supported to restore backups taken using online module and using Networker User for restoration.
The admin. guides do not even refer to Networker User while mentioning. I was just trying to locate some document on this.

I have never seen or done this before, but can it be there is a specific networker user for SAP in the networker module for sap like there is for MSExchange and MSSQL?

The customer wants to backup online data of one server and restore it on another server without making the restored data online i.e. backup online of Server A, restore offline on Server B.

If we need to restore the complete thing,w e need to do this one by one since none of the save set entries shows what files are backed up under this and you cannot do a multiple selection for a Save Set recovery.

Start NW User/recover on target server like this:
-winworkr/recover/nwrecover -s "backup server" -c "host you want to restore from".
-set browse time->you can find it from log file which is usually located on /oracle/SID/sapbackup directory.
-add files to restore
-set the target directory
-set force option if target directory/filesystem exists and have some old data. Better solution is remove all existing data.
I have done this numerous times on windows and different unix-platforms. Trickiest part is to restore needed archive logs. If there is lot of logs to restore save-set recovery is fastest and easiest way.

As per your comment "You can do ssid restore depending on setup in your util file. Otherwise use brrestore (SapDBA or BrGUI depending on SAP version"
What is the special setup required in util file to make the SSID Database restore from Networker User.
I am using normal util file from /etc copied as SSIDuti in the same location where the brtools are.
Please let me know changes to be made in the util file for restore.

You need to use ssNameFormat = old (if you use new, then you can kiss goodbye ssid restore).
