fbackup (3009) error using SAM

[rindiq]

I have a problem when tryng to make backup with my server.
I'm using SAM
Everithing looks going well but in my log file I have this error message:
fbackup(3009): WARNING: File number 28 (u01/app/oracle/oradata/redo02.log) was not successfully backed up

Does anybody have an idea?

I'm using HP DD-3 data cartridge

Hi,

This is an oracle redo log file.
Was your database down when you executed the backup.
If not, this is an error for an open file

You are trying to back up an open file.

Hi,
people have spent time provided you with answers. Could you please spend some time to update this thread.

Is the problem resolved or do you have further problems ?

If the problem is resolved, could you please award points, summarise how you fixed the problem and close the thread.

See my earlier thread links on how to do it.

As said, it is a redo log. Either you have to stop oracle and do the fbackup. Even though you might get this warning again if there are other open files related to OS or other application while the backup goes on.

It is up to you to decide whether the files which get the warning message is ok to be ignored or not.

If you want to completely avoid the warning then you might have to go to single user mode and do a full backup.

Hope Bill Hassell might come in and give more detail info.
