Scheduled DB Backups

[richard_bates]

Hello,

Can someone outline the requirements / steps to setting up scheduled backups on MaxDB 7.9?

I believe I need to install a client on the db server and setup a remote db connection in order to create the job on the DBA Scheduling Calendar via DBACOCKPIT.

Many thanks.

Richard.

Hi Richard,

Check note 1377148 - FAQ: SAP MaxDB backup / recovery

14. Which SAP MaxDB backup tools are available for a data backup or log backup?

You can perform a data or log backup using the SAP MaxDB backup tools Database Manager GUI (SAP MaxDB versions lower than 7.7), Database Studio (SAP MaxDB Version 7.5 or higher), or Database Manager CLI. You can use the DBA Planning Calendar (CCMS transaction DB13 or DB13C) to schedule a backup for a particular date and execute it implicitly. If no SAP system is available, you can use Database Manager CLI for scheduling with operating system tools.

Regards,

Ning
