Symantec Backup Exec

To recover a combination SAP database server and media server

1. Re-install the Microsoft Windows operating system on the SAP database server media server.

   During the re-install process, install Windows into a temporary directory that you can delete after your SAP database server media server is running.

2. Re-install Backup Exec.

3. Recatalog the media containing the full flat file SAP database server file system backup, and the media containing the SAP database tablespace data files.

4. Restore the entire contents of the media containing the full flat file server file system backup.

   This restores your original Windows system, along with any services required to run your SAP database.

5. Reboot the computer after the restore operation completes.

   Because the full system backup was restored, your computer now boots using its original version of Windows. The system now contains the original version of Windows, the SAP Agent, the SAP database minus the tablespaces, and any other files contained on the full backup media.

6. Restore the backint.xml file from the latest full server backup.

   This file correlates the SAP catalog with the Backup Exec catalog.

7. Run another restore operation.

   This time, use the SAP Agent to restore the media containing all of the SAP tablespace data files.

8. When the restore operation completes, open the CCMS console, and select Check and Repair Database.

9. Select Automatic Recovery, and then follow the online prompts to complete Disaster recovery of the SAP database server.
