Hi,

welcome on board as SAP Netweaver guy,

don't be confused both DB13 and BRtools are the same both of them will call brbackup.

to configure the brtools you have to change in your brtools profiles located at %ORACLE_HOME%/dbs

please before changing any thing take backup from that folder.

- to take the backup to disk then to tape you will need extra backup software, because using the SAP slandered tools you have to select either Disk or Tape.

Thanks
