Command Options for BRARCHIVE 

You can start the SAP utility BRBACKUP without command options. If no values to the contrary have been configured in initialization profile init<DBSID>.sap , BRARCHIVE will start archiving all the offline redo log files to tape, with a storage capacity of 1200 MB and no file compression.

See Initialization Profile init<DBSID>.sap.

For more information on the SAP utility BRARCHIVE, refer to the sections Using BRBACKUP and BRARCHIVE.

If you use BRARCHIVE with command options, these override the corresponding values in the initialization profile. To use the options, you can specify either letter indicated or the complete word.
