how to copy spool and work directory from source to target? Is this usually required for system copy? I found out that these are not mention in system copy guide for ERP
As for the work directory under the instance for ABAP based system nothing needs to be done and does not need to be copied from source to target.
The spool/output request are stored in db unless you specify anthing else for the Temse location. hence no need to worry for spool requests . They are reorged depending on the house keeping jobs.
Only the Global mount directory (/sapmnt/<SID>/global on unix ) needs to be copied selectively where background job logs are stored as well as workflow logs.
Also any non-SAP directories may need to be copied from source to target if the application needs it .
