-b|-backup

This BRARCHIVE command option starts BRBACKUP at the end of BRARCHIVE processing.

When you enter the option -b, BRBACKUP is automatically started after the BRARCHIVE backup of the offline redo log files. After the offline redo log files, BRBACKUP copies the data files and all logs to the same tape or tapes (this is also possible to disk, and with BACKINT). The main advantage of this procedure is that you only have to start or schedule one program (usually BRBACKUP). The second program is started automatically after the first program has ended. If the backup is made to tape, you can also use the tape capacity optimally.

You can also specify other options for BRBACKUP backup. If you do not specify any options, the relevant default is used. Always place the option -b (including the additional options) at the end of the BRARCHIVE command line call.

See Command Options for BRBACKUP.

Note Note

If you want to execute the BRBACKUP and BRARCHIVE backup procedure in one run, then we recommend that you perform the tape management under control of BRBACKUP. For this, you can use brbackup -a|-archive.
