Integrating SAP DB/MaxDB and Data Protector

Introduction

•Media Management

Data Protector has an advanced media management system that allows you to keep track of all media and the status of each medium, set the protection for stored data, fully automate operations as well as organize and manage devices and media.

•Backup Management

Backed up data can be duplicated during or after the backup to increase fault tolerance of backups, to improve data security and availability, or for vaulting purposes.

•Scheduling

Data Protector has a built-in scheduler that allows you to automate backups to run periodically. With the Data Protector scheduler, the backups you configure run unattended at the periods you specify.

•Local versus Network Backups

When configuring an SAP DB/MaxDB backup using Data Protector, the location of devices is completely transparent to the user. They can be connected to the SAP DB/MaxDB Database Server or any other Data Protector clients on the network.

•Device Support

Data Protector supports a wide range of devices, from standalone drives to complex multiple drive libraries. Refer to the HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Product Announcements, Software Notes, and References or http://www.hp.com/support/manuals for an up-to-date list of supported devices and other information.

•Monitoring

Data Protector has a feature that allows you to monitor currently running sessions and view finished sessions from any system that has the Data Protector User Interface installed.

All backup sessions are logged in the IDB and in the SAP DB/MaxDB configuration, providing you with a history of activities that can be queried at a later time.
