Backing Up Portal System using DB13C

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

We have a stand alone portal system(EP7.0) on sql server

generally we take the backup using sql management studio.

It has certain limitations like we cannot take the master,temp and siddatabase together as we do it for abap system.

Can it be possible to connect the sql server to the abap system and use db13c to schedule the backup for our EP system?

I have gone through many note at mp but all are refering to oracle db.

Hi Vamshi,

I think you can use DB13C for taking backup and it is available as of SAP release 6.10.

You can use this transaction to schedule the following activities:

- Back up the dataset area and the log area

- Check backups for completeness

- Update the optimizer statistics

- Database structure checks

Hope it helps.

Thanks,

Naga

Note: If you take a backup of a Java system, you need to backup the filesystems too! Only the database won't help if you need to restore the system.

Hi,

Thanks for your response. I do know that, But I am talking about the db backup.

Its time consuimg that I have to take the msdb,tmpdb and modeldb backup seperately. I just want to take the backup all at once.Could this be possible and also i want to schedule it using the sql management studio.

If I connect this db to the abap system then i need not use the management studio. I will directly use db13c.
