SAP Note 28792 - OnArchive: Compatibility of remote/local backups

Symptom:

Archives that are saved locally by OnArchive cannot be read remotely.

Cause and prerequisites

Tapes saved locally with OnArchive can only be read locally. Tapes saved remotely can be read both remotely and locally. Remote means that ':' is entered as a device.

Solution
If you want to save locally so that the tape can be read remotely, you also have to enter the device locally with the host name. Thus, when you make a backup on the local computer, you also make a 'remote' backup.

Example: myhost:/dev/rmt/0m
Restriction: The option 'apart' must also be used locally in this
case.

Note that this solution should only be considered as a temporary workaround for Note 28003.
