Click OK.

To start the backup, see “Backing Up an SAP R/3 Database” on page 197.

11.On UNIX, after the backup specification is saved, verify that the owner of the backup specification is the specified SAP R/3 user. See “Configuring an SAP R/3 User in Data Protector (UNIX Systems Only)” on page 165 for details about this user.

12.You can examine the newly-created and saved backup specification in the Backup context, under the specified group of backup specifications. The backup specification is stored in the following file on the Cell Manager:

•On UNIX:

/etc/opt/omni/server/barlists/sap/<Backup_Spec_Name>

•On Windows:

<Data_Protector_home>\Config\server\Barlists\SAP\<Bac kup_Specification_Name>

13.It is recommended to test the backup specification. See “Testing the Integration” on page 195 for details.

When the backup specification is saved, the SAP configuration, which stores information about parallelism and balancing types, is also automatically saved on the SAP R/3 Database Server.

Note that you can edit backup specifications once you have specified all the backup options.
