Canceling a BackupLocate this document in the navigation structure

Procedure

You can cancel the backup processes. You can use:

  • Use the BRBACKUP or BRARCHIVE option -g|-gun|-abort.

  • The key combination CTRL+C and enter stop (entering cont to continue the backup is then only possible with restrictions)

  • The UNIX command kill (but never kill -9)

  • The command brarchive -fill stop to properly stop the archiving of offline redo log files started with brarchive -f. Do not use CTRL+C or a kill command to stop such BRARCHIVE runs, as this might terminate an active copy process.
