I thank you all for the replies made.

Snotes are really helpful.

But I have a basic question.

What should be my backup strategy?

Should it go the same period/frequency as my APO backup? or Is it ok if it goes incremental daily? .

Pls suggest me a best practise.

Regards,

kiran

Hello Kiran,

1. Only you could made decision about your backup/recovery strategy.

2. There are the administration tasks that you have to perform regularly, see

u201CRegular Administration Tasksu201D at

http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_6/25/5b27401544ed01e10000000a155106/content.htm

Also please review u201CChecklist for Recovery of SAP APO liveCache >= 7.4u201D recommended in my reply above.

3. If you could not find the decision about your backup/recovery strategy, I recommend to create the SAP ticket to check more details on what OS resources you have, what backup tools you are using, what APO applications you run. What backup/recovery strategy you have currently on your system.

4. The u201CBest Practicesu201D documents already recommended you ::
