Verify a Local Backup

Verify the local backup was completed on a particular date.

  1. Open a terminal session on the STA server, and log in as the Oracle user.
  2. List the STA services log directory. For example:
    $ ls -l /var/log/tbi/db/backups
    
  3. To determine which backups have been performed recently:
    $ grep 'StaBackup' staservd.log.0 | grep 'Database dump completed'
    
  4. Verify that the latest backup was saved correctly:
    1. Change to the local backup subdirectory for your site. For example:
      $ cd /dbbackup/local
      
    2. List the directory. It should contain the most recent backup files, including a full database dump and configuration files, created by the Backup Service.
      $ ls –l
