i have checked tht but its not in clear way there.can u give me the steps to configure db13 to take backup.

What is "not clear"? Your questions are very general - so I can just give general answers.

I can't (and won't) give you a click-here-and-then-there-documentation, it's very important to understand what is being done rather than just following screenshots...

What exactly is your problem? You're backing up to tape or disk? Can you take a general backup using the operating system NTBACKUP?

The "needful" thing to do now is to read documentation.

Doing backup is a very crucial part of running a SAP installation, it's just not enough to follow a "click-guide" without knowing what is done. I told you a few approaches to start to dig into that but you seem to ignore them.

I'm really not sure why I should repeat here all the steps listed in the online documentation, such as

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/5b/1f2d61f80f4b26a0a4a96c8bb791ec/frameset.htm

which clearly explains how a backup is set up in DB13/DBACOCKPIT...
