To make sure the data from a logical-log backup with ON-Bar can be used quickly and effectively to restore the database, perform the tasks described in this section.

You have checked the logical-log backup result.

1. Write essential information such as the date and time of backup on your tapes or other backup media to simplify the restore process. You can find additional information for a restore in the ON-Bar emergency boot file. For more information about this file, see Configuring ON-Bar.
2. Copy logical-log backup media and store copies offsite

Since your logical-log backups are vital to restore your database in the event of failure, consider copying the backup media and storing the copies at a different physical location. For more information about copying data backed up with the storage manager, see your storage manager documentation.

3. If you are using automatic logical-log backup, use SAPDBA to display the status of the logical logs. Refer to System Information. If necessary, you might need to increase the frequency of the backup.
