Running an Interactive Backup Using SAP

 

DB/MaxDB Utilities

 

Using this integration, you can run an integrated Data Protector backup

 

of an SAP DB/MaxDB Server from SAP DB/MaxDB utilities.

Prerequisites

• The SAP DB/MaxDB Server must be configured for use with this

 

integration. See “Configuring the Integration” on page 263 for

 

information on how to configure an SAP DB/MaxDB Server for use

 

with this integration.

 

• A Data Protector SAP DB/MaxDB integration backup specification

 

must be created. See “Configuring an SAP DB/MaxDB Backup” on

 

page 264 for information on how to create a Data Protector

 

SAP DB/MaxDB integration backup specification.

 

In order to run an interactive backup using SAP DB/MaxDB utilities, the

 

following must be done:

 

• SAP DB/MaxDB media must be created

 

• the SAP DB/MaxDB bsi_env file must be created

 

Follow the procedure on the next few pages to run a backup from

 

SAP DB/MaxDB utilities using an existing Data Protector

 

SAP DB/MaxDB integration backup specification. In the procedure, the

 

following conventions are used:

 

<inst_name> is the name of the instance to be backed up

 

<name_of_backup_spec> is the name of the Data Protector backup

 

specification to be used for backup
