NetBackup for SAP backup and restore log files
The following directories contain log files for different types of backups and restores:
Windows:
%SAPDATA_HOME%\sapbackup
UNIX or Linux:
$SAPDATA_HOME/sapbackup
The files in this directory are named according to the following pattern:
The summary log file is named backSID.log, where SID is the unique name for the Oracle database instance.
The detail log files are named encoded_timestamp.xyz, where:
encoded_timestamp
A timestamp that is used in each detail log name that guarantees a unique file name.
xyz for backup logs:
x
a represents all, i represents incremental, p represents partial.
y
n represents online. f represents offline.
z
f represents util_file backup, r represents rman_util backup
xyz for restore logs:
xyz
rsb represents restore backup files.
xyz
rsa represents restore archive files.
xyz
rsf represents restore individual files.
