Dear All,

I have a failed backup with status 6. When I check the logs from bphdb:

It said backint: not found

Then I check it: there's no backint file in /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run, but there's one in /usr/openv/netbackup/bin

Please help how to solve this problem or recover the backint file here? Can I just copy backint file from other system? Thank you

Create a dynamic link between  /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run/backint and /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/backint

The tech note below provide a instruction how to create a link

Please download the NBU for SAP Admin Guide: http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC3673 .

The configuration steps (including the sym-link) is clearly documented in this manual.

...or backint does exist but isnt in your path. I've seen this too, typically post SAP upgrade.

Hi All,

Thanks for the documents

I have created a new link between  /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run/backint and /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/backint

but, the status is still error status 6. This time it said incorrect parameter options

Please advice how to specify the backint usage?

[Marianne]

The correct parameters are listed in the error output:
