Procedure documentation Continuing the Backup Without the Medium Last Reported as Full Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

You use this DBM command to continue a backup without the last medium that was reported full.

This is relevant for backups to parallel backup media. When a backup medium is full and further data still has to be transferred, the system prompts you to provide a succeeding medium. Otherwise, the backup process is stopped.

You can use the backup_ignore command to continue backups that have been stopped without providing a new backup medium. In this case, the remaining data to be transferred is saved to the other media in the group of parallel backup media.

Prerequisites

You have the DBM operator authorization Backup.

You have started backing up the database instance. The backup process was interrupted because the backup medium was reported full.

Syntax

backup_ignore

Reply

The reply to this command contains the information about the backup supplied by the kernel.

This information is only output when the backup has been completed or interrupted. This command may, therefore, take a long time to execute.

If it is clear from the message number that the backup was just interrupted, the session must be continued with the continuation command: (backup_replace, backup_ignore), or terminated with backup_cancel.
