This is the parameter that is used only by BRBACKUP to identify the directory(-ies) in which database backups are carried out on hard disk. In exceptions (for example, no definition of the parameter archive_copy_dir ), BRARCHIVE also uses the directories defined in this parameter if disk archiving is required. If you enter more than one directory, you must enclose the names in parentheses and separate them by commas.

Default: <ORACLE_HOME>/sapbackup

Required value: Directory(-ies) to which the backups carried out on hard disk should be written.

If you do not have enough storage space in one of the directories on your hard disk, you should provide directories on other disks and add their names in the parameter backup_root_dir . BRBACKUP then uses these directories for database backup.
